Note 13 - Consulting Agreement and Secured Promissory Note Receivable

 

Promissory Note and Security Agreement

 

On September 25, 2020 (the “Restatement Effective Date”), we entered into the Secured Note with a company consulting for us (“the Consultant”), pursuant to which we loaned $3.0 million to the Consultant (inclusive of $1.0 million in the aggregate previously loaned to the Consultant, as described below).

 

The Secured Note amended and restated in its entirety (i) that certain Promissory Note and Security Agreement, dated July 21, 2020 (the “Original July 21 Note”), pursuant to which we loaned $750,000 to the Consultant and (ii) that certain Promissory Note and Security Agreement, dated July 29, 2020 (the “Original July 29 Note”, and, together with the Original July 21 Note, the “Original Notes”), pursuant to which we loaned $250,000 to the Consultant.

 

Commencing after September 1, 2021, in addition to payments of interest, the Consultant is also required to make payments on the principal amount of the loan equal to 1/36 of the then outstanding principal amount.

The entire remaining unpaid principal amount of the Secured Note, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all other amounts payable under the Secured Note, will be due and payable, if not sooner paid, on September 30, 2022.

 

The Secured Note contains customary events of default. If a default occurs and is not cured within the applicable cure period or is not waived, any outstanding obligations under the Secured Note may be accelerated.

 

Amendment and Termination Agreement

 

On January 14, 2021, we entered into an Amendment and Termination Agreement (the “Termination Agreement”) with the Consultant pursuant to which the parties amended the Secured Note and terminated the former consulting agreement with the Consultant (the “Consulting Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Termination Agreement, the Company loaned an additional $1 million to the Consultant in consideration for the termination of the Consulting Agreement and termination of the Company’s obligation to pay any additional consulting fees. As a result, the initial principal amount due under the Secured Note was increased from $2.75 million to $3.75 million plus all accrued and unpaid interest arising under the Secured Note through and including January 14, 2021.

 

Under the terms of the Termination Agreement, the Consultant will continue to sell and process its viral test by RT-PCR (together with other viral and other types of tests). Until the Secured Note is paid in full, each COVID-19 Test Kit sold or processed from and after January 14, 2021, and for which payment of at least the specified amount as defined for the test, is received by the Consultant, the Consultant will pay us a specified amount (the “Test Fee”). We received the first payment in the amount of $95,000 with respect to the Test Fees from January 15 through February 2021. On June 25, 2021, we were issued 1,260,619 shares of common stock of the Consultant with a fair value of $315,000 as an interest payment under the Secured Note in lieu of Test Fees from March through June 2021.

 

Effective September 1, 2021, in addition to the payment of the Test Fees described above, the Consultant is also required to make payments to us in an amount equal to the greater of (x) the Test Fee, or (y) 1/36th of the then outstanding principal amount together with interest thereon. The Company did not receive any payments from the Consultant for either contractual principal or interest.

On October 11, 2021, the Company provided the Consultant with a Notice of Default and demanded the Secured Note be paid in full immediately. On January 25, 2022, the Company filed a complaint with the United States District Court for the District of Delaware for judgment against the Consultant for money damages consisting of principal, interest, default interest and other fees and costs. As a result, the Company considered that it is not probable that it will collect all amounts due under the Secured Note and reduced the carrying value of the Secured Note to $0 as of December 31, 2021 with a corresponding charge-off of $3.75 million during the year ended December 31, 2021.
