Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
Securities Purchase Agreement and Note
On April 9, 2020, SWK Technologies, Inc. (“SWK”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of SilverSun Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into a promissory note (the “Note”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., which provides for a loan in the amount of $3,150,832 (the “PPP Loan”) pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”). The PPP Loan has a two-year term and bears interest at a rate of 0.98% per annum. Monthly principal and interest payments are deferred for six months after the date of disbursement. The PPP Loan may be prepaid at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties.
Beginning seven months from the date of the PPP Loan SWK is required to make 24 monthly payments of principal and interest in the amount of $132,629.06. The promissory note evidencing the Loan contains customary events of default relating to, among other things, payment defaults, making materially false and misleading representations to the SBA or Lender, or breaching the terms of the Loan documents. The occurrence of an event of default may result in the repayment of all amounts outstanding, collection of all amounts owing from SWK, or filing suit and obtaining judgment against SWK.
Under the terms of the CARES Act, PPP loan recipients can apply for and be granted forgiveness for all or a portion of loan granted under the PPP. Such forgiveness will be determined, subject to limitations, based on the use of loan proceeds for payment of payroll costs and any payments of mortgage interest, rent, and utilities. No assurance is provided that SWK will obtain forgiveness of the Loan in whole or in part.
Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K contains only a brief description of the material terms of the Note and does not purport to be a complete description of the rights and obligations of the parties thereunder, and such description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Note, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and is incorporated herein by reference.
