6. FEDERALLY GUARANTEED LOANS

 

Economic Injury Disaster Loan (“EIDL”)

 

In April 2020, the Company received $370,900 from the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) under the captioned program. The loan has a term of 30 years and an interest rate of 3.75%, without the requirement for payment in its first 12 months. The Company may prepay the loan without penalty at will.

 

Payment Protection Program (“PPP”) Loan

 

In May 2020, Biotricity received loan proceeds of $1.2 million (the “PPP Loan”) under the Paycheck Protection Program established by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”). The unsecured PPL Loan is evidenced by a promissory note (the “Note”), between the Company and the lending financial institution (the “Lender”). The Note has a two-year term, bears interest at the rate of 1.0% per annum, and may be prepaid at any time without payment of any premium. No payments of principal or interest were originally due during the six-month period beginning on the date of the Note (the “Deferral Period”), but the Payment Protection Flexibility Act of 2020 has effectively extended this period of no payments for the Company to the earliest of loan forgiveness or August 2021. The principal and accrued interest under the Note is forgivable under certain specified circumstances if the Company uses the PPP Loan proceeds for eligible purposes, including payroll, benefits, rent and utilities, and otherwise complies with PPP requirements. In order to obtain forgiveness of the PPP Loan, the Company must submit a request and provide satisfactory documentation regarding its compliance with applicable requirements. The Company must repay any unforgiven principal amount of the Note, with interest, on a monthly basis following the Deferral Period. The Company is using PPP Loan proceeds for qualifying expenses, though no assurance is provided that the Company will obtain forgiveness of the PPP Loan in whole or in part.
