Federal Stimulus Programs in Connection with Coronavirus Pandemic

 

As of May 1, 2020, we received $2.1 million in advances under the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) accelerated and advance payment program, as well as a $0.65 million grant from the Department of Health and Human Services (HSS). The CMS advance will be offset against future Medicare billings of the Company, and the HSS grant is subject to certain conditions regarding its use, including developing coronavirus and serology tests. These grants and advances require certain certifications by the Company and impose specific limitations on the use of the proceeds. Based on these restrictions and limitations, the Company is treating the $0.65 million HSS grant as restricted cash until we have clarity on how the funds can be utilized by the Company based on the specific requirements of the HSS. Furthermore, although the Company initially explored the possibility of requesting a loan under the Small Business Administration Paycheck Protection Program, we elected not to complete an application because we are not certain we meet certain criteria of the program.

 

During April and early May 2020, the Company made payments totaling $888,000 to CGI for funds withheld from the Excess Consideration Note to satisfy certain adjustments and indemnification obligations under the Asset Purchase Agreement. The funds used to satisfy this obligation were not included in cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2020. These funds and the related liability were included in Other Current Assets and Other Accrued Expenses, respectively, as of those period ends, and the settlement of the liability had no net impact on the Company’s operating cash flow or liquidity.

 

Amendment to Morrisville, North Carolina lease

 

On June 3, 2020, Interpace Pharma Solutions, Inc. (“IPS”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an agreement with Southport Business Park Limited Partnership (“the Landlord”) to amend its Morrisville, North Carolina lease effective June 1, 2020 (the “Amendment”). This lease was originally entered into on June 12, 2004 by the Landlord and Cancer Genetics, Inc., the Company’s predecessor-in-interest (the “Original Lease”) and was assigned to the Company on July 15, 2019 (the “Lease Assignment”). The Original Lease together with all amendments, as assigned by the Lease Assignment constitutes the “Lease.” The Company re-affirmed its Guaranty of Lease, dated July 15, 2019, in the Amendment, guaranteeing the obligations of IPS under the Lease.

 

The Amendment provides for an extension of the term of the Lease, which consists of approximately 24,906 square feet utilized by IPS as laboratory and office space to provide its pharma solutions services. The terms of the Lease were set to expire on May 31, 2020. Pursuant to the Amendment, the term of the Lease was extended for ten additional years, commencing on June 1, 2020 and continuing until May 31, 2030 (the “Term”). The minimum rent per rentable square foot pursuant to the Amendment is $14.10 from June 1, 2020 to May 31, 2021, with annual increases of 3%. The minimum rent during the first year under the Amendment is $351,174.60, which is subject to a rent abatement consisting of six months of rent forgiveness totaling $175,587, provided there is no outstanding uncured event of default (as defined in the Lease). The Company shall continue to pay to Landlord additional rent, representing the Company’s proportionate share of any direct expenses, as stipulated in the Lease.

 

Pursuant to the Amendment, the Company has two options to extend the Term for a period of five years each (the “Extended Terms”). Minimum rent during the Extended Terms, if such options are exercised by the Company, is subject to certain “market value” adjustments as provided for in the Amendment. Also pursuant to the Amendment, the Company has the irrevocable right to terminate the Lease on November 30, 2025, as well as on November 30, 2027, providing certain timely notification is given to Landlord, specified events occur (such as a merger or sale of the Company’s business), and specified termination payments are made to Landlord.
