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

 

On April 22, 2020, Allied Healthcare Products, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a loan agreement (the “SBA Loan”) with Jefferson Bank and Trust Company under the recently enacted Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (the “SBA”).  The Company received total proceeds of $2.375 million from the SBA Loan.  In accordance with the requirements of the CARES Act, the Company will use proceeds from the SBA Loan for payroll costs and other permitted uses.  The SBA Loan is scheduled to mature on April 13, 2022 and has a 1.00% interest rate and is subject to the terms and conditions applicable to loans administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration under the CARES Act.

 

All or a portion of the SBA Loan may be forgiven by the SBA upon application by the Company beginning 60 days but not later than 120 days after loan approval and upon documentation of expenditures in accordance with the SBA requirements. Under the CARES Act, loan forgiveness is available for the sum of documented payroll costs, covered rent payments, covered mortgage interest and covered utilities during the eight week period beginning on the loan origination date, subject to regulations and guidance provided by the United States Treasury. For purposes of the CARES Act, 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%. In the event the SBA Loan, or any portion thereof, is forgiven pursuant to the CARES Act, the amount forgiven is applied to outstanding principal. The Company intends to seek forgiveness of the SBA Loan to the maximum extent permitted but cannot guarantee whether or to what extent such forgiveness will be granted.

 

Payments of unforgiven principal and interest are deferred until November 2020, at which point the Company is required to repay such amounts in 18 equal monthly payments. The SBA Loan is evidenced by a promissory note, which contains customary events of default relating to, among other things, payment defaults and breaches of representations and warranties. The SBA Loan may be prepaid by the Company at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties.
