The Company entered into a loan agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A. (the “Bank”) in December 2021. Under this Loan Agreement, the Bank extended two facilities to the Company. Specified assets were pledged as collateral. One facility was a line of credit in the amount of $4.0 million available until December 1, 2024 (the “Facility 1”). Interest on Facility 1 was due on the first day of each month beginning January 1, 2022. The interest rate was an annual rate equal to the sum of (i) the greater of the BSBY Daily Floating Rate or (ii) the Index Floor (as defined in the Loan Agreement), plus 2.00%. The Company did not utilize the facility during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022. During May 2023, the facility was terminated.

The other facility extended by the Bank to the Company was a fixed rate term loan in the amount of up to $16.0 million (the “Facility 2”). Facility 2 was entered into and funded in conjunction with the purchase of Kestrel Labs at an interest rate equal to 2.8% per year.
