Reliance on SEC Relief from Filing Requirements

On March 25, 2020, the SEC issued an Order under Section 36 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Modifying Exemptions From the Reporting and Proxy Delivery Requirements for Public Companies, (Release No. 34-88465) (the “Order”), which provides conditional relief to registrants subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are unable to meet a filing deadline due to circumstances related to COVID-19.

We have experienced significant disruptions to our business and operations. In particular, COVID-19 restrictions have limited access to our corporate offices and required our corporate personnel, including our legal and accounting staff, as well as the staff of our independent registered public accounting firm to work remotely. The restrictions have resulted in limited access to the Company’s financial records and data and disrupted interactions among the personnel involved in the completion of the Form 10-Q as of March 28, 2020 and for the quarter then ended and slowing the Company’s completion of its quarterly financial preparation of the Form 10-Q.

As a result of the above, we filed a Form 8-K on May 5, 2020 taking advantage of this relief and extended the deadline for the filing of this Form 10-Q by 45 days.
Paycheck Protection Program Loans
During May and June, subsidiaries (the “Borrowers”) of the Company received loan proceeds from several banks (the “Lenders”) in the aggregate amount of approximately $14.9 million (the “PPP Loans”) under the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) of the CARES Act, which was enacted March 27, 2020.
The PPL Loans are evidenced by individual promissory notes of each of the Borrowers (together, the “Notes”) in favor of the Lender, which Notes bear interest at the rate of 1.00% per annum. No payments of principal or interest are due under the Notes until the date on which the amount of loan forgiveness (if any) under the CARES Act for each respective Note is remitted to the lender, which can be up to 10 months after the end of the related notes covered period (which is defined as 24 weeks after the date of the loan) (the “Deferral Period”). Each Note may be prepaid by the respective Borrower at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties. Funds from the PPP Loans may be used only for payroll and related costs, costs used to continue group health care benefits, mortgage payments, rent, utilities, and interest on other debt obligations that were incurred by a Borrower prior to February 15, 2020 (the “Qualifying Expenses”). Under the terms of the PPP Loans, certain amounts thereunder may be forgiven if they are used for Qualifying Expenses as described in and in compliance with the CARES Act.
While the Company and each Borrower intends to use the PPP Loan proceeds exclusively for Qualifying Expenses, it is unclear and uncertain whether the conditions for forgiveness of the PPP Loans will be met under the current guidelines of the CARES Act. Accordingly, we cannot make any assurance that the Company, or any of the Borrowers, will be eligible for forgiveness of the PPP Loans, in whole or in part.
To the extent, if any, that any or all of the PPP loans are not forgiven, beginning one month following expiration of the Deferral Period, and continuing monthly until 24 months from the date of each applicable Note (the “Maturity Date”), each respective Borrower is obligated to make monthly payments of principal and interest to the Lender with respect to any unforgiven portion of the Notes, in such equal amounts required to fully amortize the principal amount outstanding on such Notes as of the last day of the applicable Deferral Period by the applicable Maturity Date. Each Borrower is permitted to prepay its respective Note at any time without payment of any premium.
