Key Financial Metrics

- Loan Amount: $218,371
- Lender: BB&T/Truist Bank N.A.
- Interest Rate: 1.00% per annum
- Maturity: Two years from the date of first disbursement

Material Changes
The Company executed an unsecured promissory note to secure funding under the CARES Act. This represents a new direct financial obligation. The proceeds are designated exclusively for qualified PPP expenses, including payroll costs, mortgage interest, rent, and utility costs.
Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies
- Forgiveness Contingency: The Company expects to apply for forgiveness of up to the entire loan amount. However, the filing explicitly states that no assurance can be given that forgiveness will be obtained for all or any portion of the amounts due.
- Conditions for Forgiveness: Forgiveness is subject to SBA rules, limitations, and the maintenance of employee and compensation levels.
- Default Risks: The Note includes customary events of default (e.g., failure to make payments, bankruptcy, significant ownership changes). An event of default could trigger immediate repayment of all outstanding amounts.
- Prepayment: The Note may be prepaid at any time prior to maturity with no penalties.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the Company's eligibility and subsequent application status for PPP loan forgiveness.
- Confirm whether the Company maintained required employee and compensation levels to qualify for full forgiveness.
- Monitor future filings for updates on the loan balance if forgiveness is partial or denied.
- Review the Company's cash burn rate to assess the impact of this loan on liquidity relative to operating expenses.
