(13) Notes Payable

Promissory Note under the Paycheck Protection Program

On April 16, 2020, the Company entered into a Promissory Note with Stearns Bank, N.A. in an aggregate principal amount of $5,032 (the “Note”), pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”).

The Note was to mature two years from the disbursement date and bore interest at a rate of 1.000% per annum, with the first six months of interest deferred. Principal and interest were payable monthly commencing six months after the disbursement date and could have been prepaid by the Company at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties.

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 Note was subject to forgiveness to the extent proceeds were used for payroll costs, including payments required to continue group health care benefits, and certain rent, utility, and mortgage interest expenses (collectively, “Qualifying Expenses”), pursuant to the terms and limitations of the PPP. The Company believes that it used all of the proceeds from the Note for Qualifying Expenses.

On June 29, 2020, the Company was notified by Stearns Bank, N.A. that the Note was transferred to The Loan Source, Inc., (the “Lender”) who became responsible for servicing the Note, including administering loan forgiveness.

On September 15, 2020, the Company filed its application for 100% forgiveness of the Note. The application was reviewed by the Lender and submitted to the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) for approval on December 17, 2020.

On September 29, 2021, the Company received confirmation from the Lender that the Note had been 100% forgiven with respect to both the principal of $5,032 and accrued interest of $62, and that the funds had been received from the SBA to pay off the Note. The SBA reserves the right to audit any PPP loan. The Company recognized a $5,094 gain on extinguishment of the Note within other income in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year-ended December 31, 2021.
