Long-term portion of Avenue Ventures note payable

 $-  $10,625,000 
  $-  $10,625,000 

 

In February 2022, Avenue withdrew $5.0 million of the Company's restricted cash to repay a portion of the debt to Avenue. On March 31, 2022, the Company received a letter (the "Letter") from Avenue regarding alleged events of default with respect to the Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of April 26, 2021, between the Company and Avenue (the "Loan Agreement"). In the Letter, Avenue alleges that certain events of default under the Loan Agreement have occurred and continue to exist. Specifically, Avenue alleged that the Company was in violation of certain provisions of the Loan Agreement as a result of which, Avenue purported to exercise its rights to suspend further loans or advances to the Company under the Loan Agreement and to accelerate the amount due under the Loan Agreement. Avenue further states in the Letter that interest will continue to accrue on the outstanding amounts at the default rate of 5.0%. In furtherance of the allegations set forth in the Letter, Avenue foreclosed on approximately $4.8 million of the Company’s cash. In April 2022, Avenue returned $0.5 million of the amount foreclosed on. Approximately $3.8 million was applied to principal after application of prepayment fees, accrued interest, and miscellaneous expenses. Due to the accelerated payment schedule, the entire amount due on the Avenue note payable has been reclassed to short term notes payable.
