On July 21, 2020, Solitron Devices, Inc. (the “Company”) executed a promissory note in favor of Bank of America, N.A. (the “Lender”) for an unsecured $807,415 loan under the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP Loan”). The Company received the proceeds of the PPP Loan on July 23, 2020.
The Paycheck Protection Program (or “PPP”) was established under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) and is administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration.
The interest rate on the PPP Loan is 1.00%, which shall be deferred for the first six months of the term of the loan but interest will continue to accrue during such time. The PPP Loan will mature on July 21, 2025. The PPP Loan is non-recourse and unsecured. The promissory note evidencing the PPP Loan contains customary events of default relating to, among other things, bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution, payment defaults, breach of representations and warranties, failure to provide the Lender with financial information requested, and the Lender in good faith believes that the prospect of payment by the Company of the PPP Loan is impaired. The PPP Loan may be accelerated upon the occurrence of an event of default. Under the terms of the CARES Act, PPP Loan recipients can apply for and be granted forgiveness for all or a portion of loans granted under the PPP. The Company intends to use the loan proceeds for payroll costs, including payments required to continue group health care benefits, and mortgage interest, rent or utility costs and the maintenance of employee and compensation levels. No assurance is provided that the Company will obtain forgiveness of the PPP Loan in whole or in part.
The foregoing descriptions of the Promissory Note do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Promissory Note attached to this report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
