Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
On April 17, 2020, Energy Focus, Inc. (the “Company”), was granted a loan (the “Loan”) from KeyBank National Association in the aggregate amount of $794,965.00, pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) under Division A of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Securities Act (the "CARES Act"), which was enacted on March 27, 2020.
The Loan, which was in the form of a Note dated April 17, 2020 issued by the Company, matures on April 17, 2022 and bears interest at a rate of 1.0% per annum, payable monthly commencing on November 1, 2020. The Note may be prepaid by the Company at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties. Funds from the Loan are expected to be used for payroll costs, costs used to continue group health care benefits, mortgage payments, rent, utilities, and interest on other debt obligations incurred before February 15, 2020. Under the terms of the PPP, certain amounts of the Loan may be forgiven if they are used for qualifying expenses as described in the CARES Act. The Company intends to use the entire Loan amount for qualifying expenses. However, no assurance is provided that the Company will obtain forgiveness for any portion of the Loan.
The foregoing summary description of the PPP Loan does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Loan, a copy of which will be filed with the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2020.
