Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") Loan

On April 10, 2020, the Company received loan proceeds in the amount of $2,850 from JPMorgan Chase, N.A. pursuant to the PPP under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act"), which was enacted on March 27, 2020. The loan, which was in the form of a note dated April 9, 2020, matures on April 9, 2022, bears interest at a rate of 0.98% per annum and is payable monthly commencing on November 9, 2020. The note may be prepaid by the Company at any time prior to the maturity with no prepayment penalties.

The principal amount of the PPP loan is subject to forgiveness under the PPP upon Phunware’s request to the extent that PPP loan proceeds are used to pay expenses permitted by the PPP, including payroll, group health care benefits, rent, utilities and interest on other debt obligations incurred prior to February 15, 2020. Although the Company currently anticipates a portion of the loan to be forgiven, there can be no assurance that any part of the PPP loan will be forgiven.

Senior Convertible Note
In March 2020, the Company issued a Senior Convertible Note to an institutional investor with an initial principal amount of $3,000 (the “Senior Convertible Note”) for a cash proceeds of $2,760 (reflecting an original issue discount of $240) in a private placement. After deducting the placement agent fee and other estimated expenses, net cash proceeds at the closing were approximately $2,371.
The Senior Convertible Note bears interest at a rate of 7% per annum and includes a make-whole of interest from the date of issuance through the maturity date of December 31, 2021.
The Senior Convertible Note had a balance of $1,258, net of issuance cost, as of June 30, 2020. Interest expense related to the Senior Convertible Note for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $378, of which $185 was related to the amortization of issuance cost.
Monthly Payments and Conversion
Starting on April 30, 2020 and on the last trading day of the month and on the maturity date, the Company is required to make monthly payments. On each payment date, the Company will be required to settle a principal repayment of approximately $143 plus interest thereon (the “Installment Amount”) which shall be satisfied in shares of common stock of the Company at 100% of the Installment Amount, or at the election of the Company, in whole or in part, in cash, at 105% of the Installment Amount. Installment payments made in common stock are subject to customary equity conditions (including minimum floor price and volume thresholds), and are calculated on a conversion price equal to the lower of (x) the conversion price then in effect and (y) the greater of the Floor Price (as defined in the Senior Convertible Note) and 85% of the lowest volume weighted average price in the 10 days prior to the payment date.
In addition to the monthly payments described above, the noteholder elected an acceleration of payments of monthly principal, interest and make-whole payments pursuant to certain provisions of the Senior Convertible Note. These accelerated payments were made in the form of shares of common stock of the Company at the rate then in effect per the Senior Convertible Note. As a result, the Company issued an aggregate of 1,763,675 shares for principal, interest and make-whole payments to the noteholder during the quarter ended June 30, 2020. In accounting for the accelerated conversions, the Company followed the guidance as prescribed in ASC 470 in accounting for derecognition (or conversion) of convertible debt with a cash conversion feature. The Company determined the fair value of the debt immediately prior to its derecognition, with the difference between the consideration transfered to the noteholder and the fair value of the debt representing the reacquisition of the embedded conversion option. A loss on extinguishment was recorded based on the difference between the calculated fair value of the debt immediately prior to its derecognition and the carrying amount of the debt component, including any unamortized debt discount or issuance costs.
Covenants
Under the Senior Convertible Note, the Company is subject to certain customary affirmative and negative covenants regarding the incurrence of indebtedness, the existence of liens, the repayment of indebtedness, the payment of cash in respect of dividends, distributions or redemptions, and the transfer of assets, among other matters, including the following provisions.
The Company is subject to a financial covenant that requires it to maintain available cash in the amount of $200 at the end of each fiscal quarter. The Company believes the "available" cash under the Senior Convertible Note is inclusive of its restricted cash balances.
Subsequent Redemption
On July 15, 2020, the Company redeemed the Senior Convertible Note at a price equal to 110% of the outstanding principal accrued and unpaid interest and make-whole interest. See Note 13 for additional discussion regarding the cash redemption of the Senior Convertible Note.
Related-Party Bridge Loans
During the first quarter of 2020, various related parties loaned the Company $560. The Related-Party Bridge Loans ("RPBLs") bear an interest of 10% per annum and will mature on November 14, 2024. Payments on or payoff of the RPBLs may be made early with no penalty. The RPBLs and amounts thereof were made by the following related parties: (i) $204 by Cane Capital, LLC, an entity owned in part by our Chief Executive Officer; (ii) $151 by Curo Capital Appreciation Fund, LLC, an entity in which the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Technology Officer serve as co-presidents, (iii) $155 by various individuals associated by familiar relationship with our Chief Executive Officer; and (iv) $50 by Luan Dang, the Company's Chief Technology Officer. Transaction costs related to the RPBLs were not significant. Interest expense related to the RPBLs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 was not significant and interest payable as of June 30, 2020 was not significant.
Convertible Notes
In April 2019, the Company’s board of directors authorized the issuance of $20,000 of convertible promissory notes (the “Convertible Notes”), which may be paid by investors in the form of cash or, in the Company’s sole discretion, cryptocurrency, such as Bitcoin or Ethereum. The Convertible Notes will be sold in reliance on an exemption from registration. The Company may not issue Convertible Notes under the Purchase Agreement in excess of $20,000, in the aggregate, unless otherwise agreed by the holders of a majority in interest of the principal outstanding under the Convertible Notes.
The Convertible Notes bear ordinary interest at a rate of 7% per annum. Interest under the Convertible Notes is payable quarterly beginning on September 30, 2019, and interest and principal under the Convertible Notes is payable monthly beginning on June 30, 2021. However, at the holder’s election, interest payments may be deferred until the earlier of (i) repayment in full of all remaining unpaid principal and (ii) conversion. The Convertible Notes mature on June 3, 2024.
The Convertible Notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $11.50 per share. Each Note will convert voluntarily upon a holder’s election, or automatically upon the closing sale price of the Company’s common stock equals or exceeds $17.25 per share for 20 out of 30 consecutive trading days, if a registration statement is then in effect covering the disposition of the converted shares. Assuming the Convertible Notes in an aggregate principal amount of $20,000 are sold under the Purchase Agreement, and assuming that all interest payments are deferred until maturity, the Convertible Notes would be convertible to a maximum total of approximately 2,347,826 shares of the Company’s common stock.
The Company has one Convertible Note with a balance outstanding of $250 as of June 30, 2020. Transaction costs related to the issuance of the Convertible Note were immaterial. Interest expense related to the Convertible Note for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 was immaterial and interest payable as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was immaterial.
Promissory Notes
In October 2019, the Company’s board of directors authorized the issuance of $20,000 of promissory notes (the “Notes”), which may be paid by investors in the form of cash or, in the Company’s sole discretion, cryptocurrency, such as Bitcoin or Ethereum. The Notes will be sold in reliance on an exemption from registration. The Company may prepay the Notes at any time without penalty. The Company may not issue Notes under the Purchase Agreement in excess of $20,000, in the aggregate, unless otherwise agreed by the holders of a majority in interest of the principal outstanding under the Notes.
The Notes bear ordinary interest at a rate of 10% per annum. Interest under the Notes is payable monthly beginning on November 30, 2019. During the term of the Notes, the Company will maintain a restricted bank account with a minimum balance of one year of interest payments on the aggregate principal balance of all Notes, which will be available for use exclusively to satisfy any payments owed by the Company under the Notes. The principal and unpaid accrued interest on the Notes will be due and payable on demand by the majority Note holders on or after the date that is 60 months following November 15, 2019. If an event of default occurs under the Notes, the majority Note holders may cause all principal and unpaid interest under the Notes to become immediately due and payable. In such event, the Notes will thereafter accrue interest at a rate of 12% per annum. Upon agreement between the Company and any senior creditor, the Notes will be subject to subordination in the right of payment to all current and future indebtedness or obligations of the Company for borrowed money to banks, commercial finance lenders, and other institutions regularly engaged in the business of lending money, or for factoring arrangements to parties providing such factoring.
During 2019, the Company issued a Note in the principal amount of $195, in exchange for cash consideration, to Cane Capital, LLC, an entity owned in part by Alan S. Knitowski, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and a member of its board of directors.
The Notes have a balance outstanding of $905 as of June 30, 2020. Transaction costs related to the issuance of the Notes were immaterial. Interest expense related to the Notes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 was $24 and $45, respectively. The interest payable as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was immaterial.
