On May 12, 2020 Brownie’s Marine Group, Inc. (the “Company”) received the proceeds from an unsecured $159,600.00 loan (the “PPP Loan”) through South Atlantic Bank under the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) pursuant to the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) which is administered by the United States Small Business Administration. In accordance with the requirements of the CARES Act, the Company will use proceeds from the PPP Loan primarily for payroll costs.
The PPP Loan is scheduled to mature on April 9, 2022 (the “Maturity Date”) and has a 1% interest rate. Commencing on November 9, 2020 and continuing on the same day of each following month, the Company must pay principal and interest payments of $8,983.41 until the Maturity Date, at which time the remaining principal and accrued interest is due in full. The promissory note evidencing the PPP Loan contains customary events of default relating to, among other things, payment defaults and provisions of the promissory note.
Under the terms of the CARES Act, PPP Loan recipients can apply for and be granted forgiveness for all or a portion of loans granted under the PPP. Such forgiveness will be determined, subject to limitations, based on the use of loan proceeds for payroll costs and mortgage interest, rent and utility costs. No assurance is provided that the Company will apply for and obtain forgiveness of the PPP Loan in whole or in part.
