ENDRA Life Sciences Inc. Debt Disclosure
U.S. SBA Paycheck Protection Program
In April 2020, the Company issued a U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) Paycheck Protection Program Note (the “SBA Note”) to First Republic Bank (the “Lender”) for a loan in the principal amount of $308,600 (the “SBA Loan”) under the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) promulgated under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act of 2020, as modified by the Paycheck Protection Program Flexibility Act of 2020. The SBA Loan bears interest at a rate per annum of 1.00%. The term of the SBA Loan is two years, ending April 22, 2022 (the “Maturity Date”). No payments will be due on the SBA Loan until the Company’s application for forgiveness of the SBA Loan has been processed and completed (the “Deferment Period”), but interest will accrue during the Deferment Period. Following the Deferment Period, if the SBA Loan is not entirely forgiven, the Company must pay monthly principal and interest payments on the outstanding principal balance of the SBA Loan amortized over the term of the SBA Loan (the “SBA Loan Payments”), unless forgiven in whole or in part in accordance with the PPP regulations. These repayments will begin following the Deferment Period and until the Maturity Date.
The Company has applied to the Lender for the SBA Loan to be forgiven in full. The Company believes that it qualifies for forgiveness of the SBA Loan under the PPP guidelines, but should it be audited or reviewed as a result of applying for forgiveness or otherwise, such audit or review could result in the diversion of management’s time and attention, and legal and reputational costs. If the Company were to be audited and receive an adverse finding in such audit, it could be required to repay the full amount of the SBA Loan, which could reduce its liquidity, and potentially subject the Company to additional fines and penalties.
The Company may prepay the principal of the SBA Loan at any time without incurring any prepayment charges. The Company may prepay 20% or less of the unpaid principal balance at any time without notice. If the Company prepays more than 20% and the SBA Loan has been sold on the secondary market, the Company must provide the Lender with written notice, pay all accrued interest and comply with the other requirements described in the SBA Note for such repayment.
The Company did not provide any collateral or personal guarantees for the SBA Loan, nor did the Company pay any facility charge to the government or to the Lender.
The SBA Note also provides for customary events of default, including, among others, events of default relating to failure to make payment or comply with the covenants contained in the SBA Note and related loan documents, defaults on any other loan with the Lender, defaults on any loan or agreement with another creditor (if the Lender believes the default may materially affect the Company’s ability pay the SBA Note), failure to pay any taxes when due, bankruptcy, breaches of representations, judgment, reorganization, merger, consolidation or other changes in ownership or business structure without the Lender’s prior written consent, and material adverse changes in financial condition or business operation. Upon an event of default the Lender may require immediate payment of all amounts owing under the SBA Note, collect all amounts owing from the Company, or file suit and obtain judgment.
Toronto-Dominion Bank Loan
On April 27, 2020, the Company entered into a commitment loan with TD Bank under the Canadian Emergency Business Account, in the principal aggregate amount of CAD 40,000, which is due and payable upon the expiration of the initial term on December 31, 2022. This note bears interest on the unpaid balance at the rate of zero percent (0%) per annum during the initial term. Under this note no interest payments are due until January 1, 2023. Under the conditions of the loan, twenty-five percent (25%) of the loan will be forgiven if seventy-five percent (75%) is repaid prior to the initial term date.
About Debt Disclosures
Debt disclosures detail a company's borrowing structure — the types of instruments, interest rates, maturity schedule, and covenant restrictions that define its financial obligations and flexibility. This section is essential for assessing refinancing risk, interest rate exposure, and the margin of safety against financial distress.
Key signals: the maturity schedule reveals concentration risk — large maturities within 1-2 years during tight credit markets can force dilutive refinancing or asset sales. Compare the fair value of debt against carrying amount to gauge whether the market views the company's credit risk differently than the balance sheet suggests. Watch covenant compliance disclosures for tightening cushions, especially leverage and interest coverage ratios. Variable-rate debt exposure quantifies sensitivity to interest rate changes. Secured versus unsecured mix affects recovery rates and future borrowing capacity. Compare net debt-to-EBITDA against industry peers and covenant limits to assess financial health.
