Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On May 12, 2020, Monroe Staffing Services, LLC (“Monroe Staffing”), an indirect subsidiary of Staffing 360 Solutions, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into a note (the “Note”) with Newton Federal Bank (the “Bank”), pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration. The Note is dated May 12, 2020. The principal amount of the Note is $10,000,000.00.

 

In accordance with the requirements of the CARES Act, the Company and Monroe Staffing (the “Borrower”) will use the proceeds from the Note in accordance with the requirements of the PPP to cover certain qualified expenses, including payroll costs, rent and utility costs. Interest accrues on the Note at the rate of 1.00% per annum. The Borrowers may apply for forgiveness of the amount due under the Note, in an amount equal to the sum of qualified expenses under the PPP. The Borrowers intend to use the entire proceeds under the Note for such qualifying expenses.

 

Subject to any forgiveness under the PPP, the Note matures two years following the date of issuance of the Note and includes a period for the first six months during which time required payments of interest and principal are deferred. Beginning on the seventh month following the date of the Note, the Borrowers are required to make 18 monthly payments of principal and interest. The Note may be prepaid at any time prior to maturity. The Note provides for customary events of default, including, among others, those relating to breaches of obligations under the Note, including a failure to make payments, any bankruptcy or similar proceedings involving the Borrowers, and certain material effects on the Borrowers’ ability to repay the Note. The Borrowers did not provide any collateral or guarantees for the Note.

 

The foregoing description of the Note is qualified by reference to the complete text of the Note, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

OMB Control No. 3245-0201

For use with 7(a) and 504 Loan Programs

 

Expiration Date: 08/31/2021

 

Purpose of this form: The purpose of this form is to identify Agents and the fees and/or compensation paid to Agents by or on behalf of a small business applicant (“Applicant”) for the purpose of obtaining or expediting an application for a loan guaranteed by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA). This is a statutory requirement under 15 U.S.C. 642.  See 13 CFR Parts 103 and 120 and SBA’s Standard Operating Procedure 50 10 for the rules governing compensation of Agents or SBA Lenders in connection with an SBA loan.  

Who must complete this form?: This form must be completed and signed by the SBA Lender and the Applicant whenever an Agent is paid by either the Applicant or the SBA Lender in connection with the SBA loan application. Each Agent paid by the Applicant to assist it in connection with its application must also complete and sign the form. When an Agent is paid by the SBA Lender, the SBA Lender must complete this form and the SBA Lender and Applicant must both sign the form. The SBA Lender must inform the Applicant in writing that the Applicant is not required to employ an Agent or representative (including the SBA Lender) to assist the Applicant with the SBA loan application.

Compensation must be disclosed on this form for the following services:

 

1.

Loan packaging services, as defined in SOP 50 10, performed by an SBA Lender or other third party (This includes services performed by an individual/entity that is a Lender Service Provider (LSP) (7(a) only) or has an SBA-approved Professional Services Contract (504 only) with the SBA Lender who is acting as a loan packager or referral agent employed by the Applicant);

 

2.

Financial statement preparation specifically for the loan application; and/or

 

3.

Consulting, Broker, or Referral services paid by the Applicant, SBA Lender, or Third Party Lender (504 only).

Fees paid to the following individuals for their services in connection with the SBA loan application are not required to be disclosed on this form:

 

1.

Applicant’s accountant performing services in the normal course of business;

 

2.

Any attorney in connection with the 7(a) or 504 loan closing;

 

3.

A state-certified or state-licensed appraiser employed by the SBA Lender to appraise collateral;

5.

An individual employed by the SBA Lender to perform a business valuation in connection with the SBA loan;

 

6.

An environmental professional employed by the SBA Lender to conduct an environmental assessment of the collateral; and/or

 

7.

A real estate agent who is receiving a commission for the sale of real estate.

Instructions for completing this form: The Agent must be identified, all services provided must be listed, and the party paying the fee and amount paid must also be disclosed (and itemized, when required). The SBA Lender must ensure that the Agent performing services is not debarred, suspended, proposed for debarment, declared ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from participation in this transaction by any Federal department or Agency. (See www.sam.gov.) The SBA does not allow contingency fees (fees paid only if the loan is approved) or charges for services which are not reasonably necessary in connection with an application.  A separate form is required for each Agent (including an SBA Lender when the SBA Lender performs packaging services) that has or will receive compensation as part of the transaction. However, all of the services provided by the same Agent may be listed on a single form.

If the compensation paid exceeds $2,500, the Agent must provide supporting documents that include: 1) a detailed explanation of the work performed; and 2) the hourly rate(s) and the number of hours spent working on each activity.  The SBA Lender must ensure that the supporting documents are attached to this form.  When a single provider charges an Applicant in connection with multiple applications, fees are aggregated to establish the $2,500 threshold for requiring supporting documents and a detailed explanation. Supporting documents and a detailed explanation are required even if the compensation is charged on a percentage basis.  

All SBA Lenders must retain the original Form 159 in the loan file. 7(a) Lenders must submit a copy of each completed Form 159 to Fiscal Transfer Agent only once after there has been an initial disbursement on the loan in conjunction with its monthly 1502 report. CDCs must submit a copy of each completed Form 159 to SBA in its Annual Report for all of the 504 loans closed during the fiscal year being reported.
