Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On April 27, 2021, Telkonet, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an unsecured promissory note (the “Note”), dated as of April 26, 2021 (“the PPP Loan2”), with Heritage Bank of Commerce under a second draw of the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) administered by the United States Small Business Administration (“SBA”) and authorized by the Keeping American Workers Employed and Paid Act, which is part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, enacted on March 27, 2020.

 

The principal amount of the PPP Loan2 is $913,062.50, bears interest of 1.0% per annum and has a maturity date of five years from the date the proceeds are disbursed. The proceeds of the PPP Loan2 were disbursed on April 27, 2021. No payments of principal or interest are required until after the Payment Deferral Period (as defined in the Note), but interest accrues during this period. After this period, monthly payments of principal and interest are required and continue until maturity with respect to any portion of the PPP Loan2 not forgiven, as discussed below. The PPP Loan2 may be prepaid, in full or in part, at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties. The Note contains events of default and other provisions customary for a loan of this type.

 

Under the terms of the PPP, the Company can apply for, and be granted, forgiveness for all or a portion of the PPP Loan2. Such forgiveness will be determined, subject to limitations and ongoing rulemaking by the SBA, based on the use of loan proceeds for eligible purposes, including payroll costs, mortgage interest, rent, utility costs and the maintenance of employee and compensation levels. At least 60% of such loan proceeds must be used for eligible payroll costs. The amount of loan forgiveness will be reduced if the Company terminates employees or reduces salaries during the Covered Period (as defined in the Note).

 

No assurance is provided that the Company will obtain forgiveness of the PPP Loan2 in whole or in part.

 

The foregoing description of the PPP Loan2 does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the PPP Loan2 and the Note, a copy of which is attached to this Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

 

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

 

The information provided in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03.

Forward Looking Statements

 

This Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements, which are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements generally can be identified by use of statements that include, but are not limited to, phrases such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “future,” “intend,” “plan,” and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties such as the Company’s ability to access sources of liquidity necessary to continue its operations and continue as a going concern, the Company’s potential inability to comply with financial covenants under its credit facility, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s operations and financial results as well as the economy generally, competitive factors, technological development, market demand, and the Company’s ability to obtain new contracts and accurately estimate net revenue due to variability in size, scope, and duration of projects. Further information on potential factors that could affect the Company’s financial results can be found in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 filed with the Securities Exchange Commission. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. The Company does not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future developments, or otherwise, except as expressly required by law.
