COVID-19 Pandemic

We are cognizant of the rapid spread of the COVID-19 pandemic (the “Pandemic”) and the resulting global implications and effects. To date, we have experienced impacts to the day-to-day operations, including the rescheduling of two art fairs for Q1 2020, the rescheduling of three art fairs and the cancellation of two art fairs for Q2 2020, the cancellation of one art fair for Q3 2020, a decline in RPVs in our media business segment due to decreased marketing spending from affected customers, and an acceleration in growth in our Society6 business. The ultimate impact of the Pandemic on our operations is unknown and will depend on future developments, many of which are outside of our control, highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the duration of the Pandemic, new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the Pandemic, and the scope and duration of preventative and protective actions that federal, state and local governments or we may direct, all of which may result in an extended period of continued business impacts. While we have seen an increase in traffic in our media segment, the overall economic climate attributable to the Pandemic has brought a reduction in revenues per visit as many advertisers are cancelling or delaying ad buys while assessing the likely impacts of the Pandemic on their businesses. We may also experience slowed customer demand that could materially adversely impact our business, results of operations and overall financial performance in future periods.

Paycheck Protection Program Loan

On April 20, 2020, we entered into a Promissory Note (the “Promissory Note”) with Silicon Valley Bank and Silicon Valley Bank agreed to make available to us a loan in the amount of $7.1 million (the “PPP Loan”) under the Small Business Administration (the “SBA”) Paycheck Protection Program enabled by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act of 2020 (the “CARES Act”).

We currently plan to use the proceeds to support payroll costs, rent and utilities in accordance with the relevant terms and conditions of the CARES Act.

The advance under the PPP Loan bears interest at a rate per annum of 1.0%. The term of the PPP Loan is two years, ending April 20, 2022 (the “Maturity Date”). No payments are due on the PPP Loan until November 20, 2020, although interest will accrue during the deferment period. Beginning November 20, 2020, we will pay equal monthly installments of principal and interest in the amount necessary to fully amortize the PPP Loan through the Maturity Date, less any amount of potential forgiveness. Under the terms of the CARES Act, all or a portion of the principal of the PPP Loan may be forgiven. Such forgiveness will be determined, subject to limitations, based on the use of the PPP Loan proceeds for payroll costs, mortgage interest payments, lease payments or utility payments. To obtain forgiveness, we would need to request forgiveness from Silicon Valley Bank, provide documentation in accordance with the SBA requirements and certify that the amounts we are requesting to be forgiven qualify under those requirements. While we intend to use the PPP Loan proceeds in a manner that would permit forgiveness of the PPP Loan and intend to seek forgiveness at the appropriate time, no assurance can be provided that we will obtain forgiveness of the PPP Loan in whole or in part. We may also prepay the principal of the PPP Loan at any time without incurring any prepayment penalty or premium.

The Promissory Note also provides for customary events of default, including, among others, events of default relating to failure to make payments, bankruptcy, breaches of representations, and material adverse effects. Additionally, the Note is subject to the terms and conditions applicable to loans administered by the SBA under the CARES Act.

We did not provide any collateral or personal guarantees for the PPP Loan, nor did we pay any facility charge to the government or to Silicon Valley Bank. Additionally, Silicon Valley Bank consented to the PPP Loan as additional permitted indebtedness under our existing revolving credit facility.

Asset Sale to Hearst Newspapers

On April 24, 2020, we entered into an Asset Sale and Services Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Hearst Newspapers, a division of Hearst Communications, Inc. (“Hearst”), pursuant to which we sold a library of content carried on certain websites (the “Hearst Sites”) that had been hosted by us on behalf of Hearst (the “Hearst Content”) to Hearst for $9.5 million, of which $4.0 million was paid at signing. The balance of $5.5 million is payable upon completion of the migration of the Hearst Content to servers controlled by Hearst, subject to certain deductions tied to the achievement of key performance indicators related to the migration process. The migration is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2020. In addition, the Agreement contemplates that, for a three-year initial term, we will provide certain content and web services in connection with the management of the Hearst Content, for which we will be paid certain fees for the content and web services provided and a revenue share based on the net revenue from the Hearst Sites.
