Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) Loans
On March 27, 2020, in response to the economic impact of COVID-19, the U.S. government passed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, as amended from time to time, the CARES Act. The CARES Act, among other things, includes provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, deferment of employer-side social security payments, net operating loss carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credit refunds, modifications to the net interest deduction limitation, increase limitations on qualified charitable contributions, and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property. In addition, the CARES Act created a new lending program, PPP, under Section 7(a) of the Small Business Act (15 USC 636) to provide low-interest loans to certain small businesses (generally those with 500 or fewer employees, with specific provisions allowing participation for certain employers with more than 500 employees that operate in certain industry groups) and self-employed individuals for the purpose of covering payroll and other eligible expenses for a 24-week period. All or a portion of the PPP loans may be forgiven by the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) upon application by the recipient of such loans in accordance with SBA requirements to the extent the recipient uses the funds for eligible expenses and maintains its workforce as specified in the Act. PPP loans that are not forgiven must be repaid within five years. The Act provides that PPP loan forgiveness is excluded from the recipient’s gross income. Any loans not forgiven would accrue interest at 1% per annum.
On May 4, 2020, EGSI, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, received a PPP loan in the amount of $2,924. On May 11, 2020, Envigo RMS LLC (“Envigo RMS”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, received a PPP loan in the amount of $8,102. The EGSI and Envigo RMS PPP Loans have a two-year maturity. On May 5, 2020, the Company’s consolidated VIE received a PPP loan of $346. The VIE PPP Loan has a two-year maturity. EGSI, Envigo RMS and the consolidated VIE anticipate paying or incurring eligible expenses totaling the full amounts borrowed. Each of EGSI, Envigo RMS and the consolidated VIE also anticipates that it will maintain its workforce in accordance with the CARES Act. Despite the Company’s good-faith belief that it properly satisfied all eligibility requirements for the PPP loans, there has been increasing scrutiny of loans over $2 million, which may be subject to audit. The US Department of Justice has also brought criminal charges against certain borrowers under the PPP loan program that it suspects of engaging in fraud. The Company is in the process of applying for loan forgiveness for each of the EGSI and Envigo RMS loans in accordance with the loan forgiveness provisions in the legislation; however, there can be no assurance that the Company will obtain full forgiveness of the loans based on the legislation. The consolidated VIE applied for loan forgiveness on February 24, 2021. We continue to assess the impact that the CARES Act may have on our business and currently, we are unable to determine the impact that the CARES Act will have on our financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity. The PPP loans are due two years from date of issuance and therefore are classified as long-term.
The PPP loans also provides for customary events of default, including, among others, events of default relating to failure to make payments, bankruptcy, breaches of representations, and material adverse effects. Additionally, the PPP loans are subject to the terms and conditions applicable to loans administered by the SBA under the CARES Act. The Company may also be subject to CARES Act-specific lookbacks and audits that may be conducted by other federal agencies, including several oversight bodies created under the CARES Act. These bodies have the ability to coordinate investigations and audits and refer matters to the Department of Justice for civil or criminal enforcement and other actions.
