14. GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS

 

Venus Concept Inc. and Venus USA, received funding in the total amount of $4,048 in connection with two Small Business Loans under the federal Paycheck Protection Program provided in Section 7(a) of the Small Business Act of 1953, as amended by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, as amended from time to time (the “PPP”).

 

Venus Concept Inc. entered into a U.S. Small Business Administration Note dated as of  April 21, 2020 in favor of CNB pursuant to which the Company borrowed $1,665 original principal amount, which was funded on  April 29, 2020 (the “Venus Concept PPP Loan”). The Venus Concept PPP Loan bears interest at 1% per annum and matures in two years from the date of disbursement of funds under the loan.

 

Venus USA entered into a U.S. Small Business Administration Note dated as of  April 15, 2020 in favor of CNB. Venus USA borrowed $2,383 original principal amount, which was funded on  April 20, 2020 (the “Venus USA PPP Loan” and together with the Venus Concept PPP Loan, individually each a “PPP Loan” and collectively, the “PPP Loans”). The terms of the Venus USA PPP Loan were substantially similar to the terms of the Venus Concept PPP Loan.

 

The Venus Concept PPP Loan contained certain covenants which, among other things, restrict the Company’s use of the proceeds of the PPP Loan to the payment of payroll costs, interest on mortgage obligations, rent obligations and utility expenses, require compliance with all other loans or other agreements with any creditor of the Company, to the extent that a default under any loan or other agreement would materially affect the Company’s ability to repay its PPP Loan and limit the Company’s ability to make certain changes to its ownership structure.

 

In 2021, through CNB, the Company applied for and received partial forgiveness of the Venus USA PPP Loan in the amount of $1,689 and the Venus Concept PPP Loan in the amount of $1,086. The Company repaid $407 during the three months ended  March 31, 2022, and the remaining portion of the PPP Loans in the amount of $136 was fully repaid in  April 2022. As of December 31, 2022 the Company had $nil outstanding under the PPP Loans ($543 as of  December 31, 2021).
