Pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement, the Company issued a 15.0% delayed draw term note (the “New Note”), in the aggregate principal amount of $12,000,000 to the Investor. Up to $8,000,000 in principal amount under the New Note is due on March 31, 2021, with the balance thereunder due on June 14, 2022. Interest on amounts outstanding under the New Note is payable in kind in arrears on the last day of each fiscal quarter. Additional borrowings under the New Note requested by the Company may be made at the option of the Purchasers. Pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement, interest on amounts outstanding under the notes previously issued under the Note Purchase Agreement (the “Existing Notes”) with respect to (x) interest payable on the Existing Notes on March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020, and (y) at the Company’s option with the consent of requisite Purchasers, interest payable on the Existing Notes on September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2020, in lieu of the payment in cash of all or any portion of the interest due on such dates, will be payable in kind in arrears on the last day of such fiscal quarter.

 

On March 25, 2020, the Company drew down $6,913,865 under the Note, and after taking into account commitment and funding fees paid to the Investor of $793,109 and legal fees and expenses of the Investor, the Company received net proceeds of approximately $6,000,000, which will be used by the Company for working capital and general corporate purposes.
