Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On April 22, 2020, Kopin Corporation (the “Company”) received the proceeds from a loan in the amount of approximately $2.1 million (the “PPP Loan”) from Rockland Trust Company, as lender, pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”). The PPP Loan matures on April 20, 2022 and bears interest at a rate of 1.0% per annum. Commencing November 21, 2020, the Company is required to pay the lender equal monthly payments of principal and interest as required to fully amortize by April 20, 2022 the principal amount outstanding on the PPP Loan as of October 21, 2020. The PPP Loan is evidenced by a promissory note dated April 21, 2020 (the “Note”), which contains customary events of default relating to, among other things, payment defaults and breaches of representations and warranties. The PPP Loan may be prepaid by the Company at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties.

All or a portion of the PPP Loan may be forgiven by the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) upon application by the Company beginning 60 days but not later than 120 days after loan approval and upon documentation of expenditures in accordance with the SBA requirements. Under the CARES Act, loan forgiveness is available for the sum of documented payroll costs, covered rent payments, covered mortgage interest and covered utilities during the eight-week period beginning on the date of loan approval. For purposes of the CARES Act, payroll costs exclude compensation of an individual employee in excess of $100,000, prorated annually. Not more than 25% of the forgiven amount may be for non-payroll costs. Forgiveness is reduced if full-time headcount declines, or if salaries and wages for employees with salaries of $100,000 or less annually are reduced by more than 25%. In the event the PPP Loan, or any portion thereof, is forgiven pursuant to the PPP, the amount forgiven is applied to outstanding principal. No assurance is provided that the Company will apply for and obtain forgiveness of the PPP Loan in whole or in part.

The foregoing description of the Note is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Note, a copy of which the Company plans to file as an exhibit to its Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ending March 28, 2020.

Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

The information disclosed under Item 1.01 of this Form 8-K is incorporated by reference herein.
