11. GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS

 

The Company and one of its subsidiaries, Venus Concept USA Inc. (“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”).

 

The Company entered the 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. Interest and principal payments under the Venus Concept PPP Loan will be deferred for a period of six months.

 

The Venus Concept PPP Loan contains 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.

 

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 are substantially similar to the terms of the Venus Concept PPP Loan.

 

Under certain circumstances, all or a portion of the PPP Loans may be forgiven, however, there can be no assurance that any portion of the PPP Loans will be forgiven and that the Company would not be required to repay the PPP Loans in full. The Company recorded PPP Loans within the long-term liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

 

Under the Madryn Credit Agreement each PPP Loan is permitted to be incurred by the Company and Venus Concept USA as long as certain conditions remain satisfied, including that all PPP Loans must be forgiven other than any amount which can fit under existing permitted debt baskets in the Madryn Credit Agreement. If the Company and/or Venus Concept USA defaults on the respective PPP Loan or if any of the conditions to the incurrence thereof under the Madryn Credit Agreement are not satisfied (i) events of default will occur under the Madryn Credit Agreement and the CNB Credit Facility and (ii) the Company and Venus Concept USA may be required to immediately repay their respective PPP Loan.

 

The U.S. Small Business Administration (the “SBA”) has decided, in consultation with the Department of the Treasury, that it will review all loans in excess of $2,000 following the lender’s submission of the borrower’s loan forgiveness application. To the extent that the SBA’s audit determines that Venus Concept USA was not entitled to the loan under the PPP, the loan may not be forgiven, an event of default would occur under the Madryn Credit Agreement and Venus Concept USA could be subject to civil and criminal penalties.

 

As of September 30, 2020, the Company had $4,048 outstanding under the PPP Loans (none as of December 31, 2019).

 

Certain of the Company’s subsidiaries applied for government assistance programs and received government subsidies aggregating $1,179. The terms of these government assistance programs vary by jurisdiction. The Company recorded government subsidies received as a reduction to the associated wage costs in general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.
