11. Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan

We obtained a $1.6 million loan (the "PPP Loan") from JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “Lender”) under the Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") on April 7, 2020 (the “Note”). The Note had a two-year term, bore interest at the rate of 0.98% per annum, and could be prepaid at any time without payment of any premium or penalty. The principal and accrued interest under the Note was forgivable after an eight- or 24-week period if we used the PPP Loan proceeds for eligible purposes, including payroll, benefits, rent and utilities, and otherwise comply with PPP requirements. In April 2021, we applied for forgiveness of this loan in accordance with the program, and in June 2021, we received confirmation that the loan principal (and related accrued interest) was forgiven in its entirety. The gain on loan forgiveness is included in other income (loss), net on the statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, and as a gain on extinguishment of debt in the statement of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the PPP Loan balance was as follows (in thousands):
