ITEM 1.01ENTRY INTO MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT

 

On May 1, 2020, Psychemedics Corporation (the “Company”) entered into a loan agreement with Bank of America, NA under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) and the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration. The principal aggregate amount of the loan is $2,181,157.00 The loan was funded in full on May 4, 2020.

 

The loan is unsecured and is evidenced by a promissory note (the “Note”) with a maturity date of May 4, 2022, and bears interest at a fixed rate of 1.00% per annum. Payments of principal and interest under the Note will be deferred for the first six months of the loan term. Under the terms of the CARES Act, the Company may apply for and be granted forgiveness for all or a portion of the loan. Such forgiveness will be determined, subject to limitations, based on the use of the loan proceeds for qualifying expenses, which include payroll costs, rent, and utility costs over the eight-week period following receipt of the loan proceeds. While the Company believes it will qualify for loan forgiveness for the majority of funds borrowed, no assurance is provided that the Company will be successful in obtaining forgiveness of the loan in whole or in part.

 

In the event that no amount or less than all of the loan is forgiven, the Company is required to repay the principal and interest under the Note prior to the maturity date of the Note in such installments as the Bank shall determine, such repayment terms to be provided in a separate repayment letter to be delivered by the Bank to the Company. The Note contains customary events of default relating to, among other things, payment defaults and breaches of representations and warranties. The Note may be prepaid by the Company at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the loan and the Note do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Note, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and is incorporated herein by reference.
