Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

As previously disclosed on April 16, 2020, the Company applied for a loan through the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) established pursuant to the recently enacted Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”). On April 27, 2020, the Company received loan proceeds in the amount of $1,899,832.00 under the PPP. The unsecured loan (the “PPP Loan”) is evidenced by a promissory note issued by Elite Legacy Education, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company, (the “Note”) in favor of Pacific Premier Bank, the lender. The Company plans to use the PPP Loan proceeds to cover payroll costs, rent and utilities in accordance with the relevant terms and conditions of the CARES Act.

 

Subject to the terms of the Note, the PPP Loan bears interest at a fixed rate of one percent (1%) per annum, with the first six months of interest deferred, has a term of two years, and is unsecured and guaranteed by the SBA.

 

Under the CARES Act, PPP loan recipients can apply for and be granted forgiveness for all or a portion of the loan granted under the PPP, with such forgiveness to be determined, subject to limitations, based on the use of the loan proceeds for payment of payroll costs and any payments of rent, as well as certain other factors. The terms of any forgiveness may also be subject to further requirements in any regulations and guidelines the SBA may adopt. While the Company currently believes that its use of the Note proceeds will meet the conditions for forgiveness under the PPP, no assurance is provided that the Company will obtain forgiveness of the Note in whole or in part.

 

To the extent the PPP Loan amount is not forgiven under the PPP, the Company is obligated to make equal monthly payments of interest only beginning seven months from the date of the Note, and one (1) final payment of all outstanding principal plus all accrued unpaid interest (including all interest accrued during the initial six month payment deferral period) on the date that is twenty-four (24) months from the date of Note (the "Maturity Date"). The Note may be prepaid in part or in full, at any time, without penalty. The Note provides for customary events of default, and the PPP Loan may be accelerated upon the occurrence of certain such events.

 

The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Note, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

 

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

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

 

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains statements as to the Company’s beliefs and expectations of the outcome of future events that are forward-looking statements as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Examples of these statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the anticipated impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on travel and physical locations, the anticipated impact of such outbreak on our results of operations, and possible effect of the postponement and cancellation of sales and fulfillment events on our overall revenues. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the statements made. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak, including levels of consumer, business and economic confidence generally. The duration of the COVID-19 outbreak and severity of such outbreak, the pace of recovery following the COVID-19 outbreak, our ability to implement cost containment and business recovery strategies; and the adverse effects of the COVID-19 outbreak on our business or the market price of our common stock and the risk factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 and our subsequent filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including subsequent quarterly reports on Forms 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K are uncertain. Except as required by law, the Company does not undertake any obligation to release publicly any revisions to forward-looking statements made by it to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date hereof or the occurrence of unanticipated events.
