Note Payable Related Party

 

The Company has received the benefit of loans from GFCM in the form of secured promissory note obligations totaling $12,000,000 in principal as of December 31, 2025 and $9,000,000 as of December 31, 2024 (the “Note”). GFCM is an entity controlled by the Company’s Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, Jeffrey T. Gill and one of our directors, R. Scott Gill. GFCM, Jeffrey T. Gill and R. Scott Gill are significant beneficial stockholders of the Company.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company and GFCM amended the Note to, among other things: (i) increase the principal amount by $3,000,000 to $12,000,000, (ii) extend the maturity dates for $2,000,000 of the obligation to April 1, 2026, $2,000,000 to April 1, 2027, $5,000,000 on April 1, 2028, and the balance of $3,000,000 due on April 1, 2029, and (iii) allow for the deferral of payment for up to 100% of the interest due on the Note to April 1, 2026. During the first quarter of 2026, the Company further amended the Note to extend the maturity dates on all tranches by one year and allow for the continued deferral of payment for up to 100% of the interest due on the Note to April 1, 2027. Interest on the Note is payable quarterly, unless the deferral option is elected, and the rate is reset on April 1 of each year at the greater of 8% or 500 basis points above the five-year Treasury note average during the previous 90-day period. This additional $3,000,000 loaned to the Company during 2025 and the modification during the first quarter of 2026 was approved by the Audit Committee and provided the Company necessary liquidity (see Note 22).

 

The weighted average interest rate for the Note as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 was 9.2%. As permitted under the Note, all interest was deferred during 2025. Interest paid on the Note during the year ended December 31, 2024 totaled approximately $283,000. The total interest accrued and unpaid as of December 31, 2025 was $1,709,000.
