(g) On April 27, 2020, Amergent received a PPP loan in the amount of approximately $2.1 million.

The Company has currently applied for loan forgiveness in the full amount of the loan, but no assurance can be given as to the amount, if any, of forgiveness. The application for forgiveness allowed the Company to defer the timing of repayment until the forgiveness assessment is completed. See Note 12 for additional information.
