Item 1.01 Entry into a Material
Definitive Agreement
On April 15, 2020, AudioEye, Inc. (the “Company”)
entered into a note agreement in the amount of $1.3 million with Liberty Capital Bank (“Loan”) pursuant to the Paycheck
Protection Program (“PPP”) of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act), which is being administered
by the Small Business Administration (“SBA”). The Loan has been funded.
All or a portion of the Loan may be forgiven by the SBA upon
application by the Company in accordance with the SBA requirements. Under the PPP, loan forgiveness is available for the sum of
payroll costs, rent payments, mortgage interest and utilities during the eight-week period beginning on the date of loan approval.
For purposes of the PPP, payroll costs exclude compensation of an individual employee in excess of $100,000, prorated annually.
Not more than 25% of the forgiven amount may be for non-payroll costs. Forgiveness is reduced if full-time headcount declines,
or if salaries and wages for employees with salaries of $100,000 or less annually are reduced by more than 25%.
The Company intends to use all proceeds from the Loan to retain
employees, maintain payroll and make lease, mortgage interest and utility payments.
Loan payments are deferred for six months. The loan has a maturity
of two years and an interest rate of 1%.
The loan is not collateralized and is not personally guaranteed.
No fees were charged in connection with the loan.
