The Company did not make the required monthly principal and interest payments due under the TCA Debenture for the period from October 2016 through March 2017. On February 2, 2017, the Company made a payment to TCA in the amount of $0.4 million, which was applied to accrued and unpaid interest and fees, including default interest, as of the date of payment. On March 21, 2017, the Company made a payment to TCA in the amount of $0.75 million, of which approximately $0.1 million was applied to accrued and unpaid interest and fees in accordance with the terms of the TCA Debenture. Also on March 21, 2017, the Company entered into a letter agreement with TCA, which (i) waived any payment defaults through March 21, 2017; (ii) provided for the $0.75 million payment discussed above; (iii) set forth a revised repayment schedule whereby the remaining principal plus interest aggregating to approximately $2.6 million was to be repaid in various monthly installments from April of 2017 through September of 2017; and (iv) provided for payment of an additional service fee in the amount of $150,000, which was due on June 27, 2017, the day after the effective date of the registration statement filed by the Company; which amount is reflected in accrued expenses at December 31, 2018. In addition, TCA entered into an inter-creditor agreement with the purchasers of the convertible debentures (see Note 8) which sets forth rights, preferences and priorities with respect to the security interests in the Company’s assets. On September 19, 2017, the Company entered into a new agreement with TCA, which extended the repayment schedule through December 31, 2017. The remaining debt to TCA remains outstanding and TCA has made a demand for payment. The parties are currently working to amend the TCA Debenture to extend the maturity although there can be no assurance that the parties will agree to any such extension.

 

The Company did not make the principal payments under the Tegal Notes that were due on July 12, 2016. On November 3, 2016, the Company received a default notice from the holders of the Tegal Notes demanding immediate repayment of the outstanding principal of $341,612 and accrued interest of $43,000. On December 7, 2016, the Company received a breach of contract complaint with a request for the entry of a default judgment (see Note 15). On April 23, 2018, the holders of the Tegal Notes received a judgment against the Company. To date, the Company has yet to repay this amount.

On March 31, 2016, the Company entered into an agreement to pledge certain of its accounts receivable as collateral against a prepaid forward purchase contract whereby the Company received consideration in the amount of $5.0 million. The receivables had an estimated collectable value of $8.7 million which had been adjusted down to $0 as of December 31, 2017. In exchange for the consideration received, the counterparty received the right to: (i) a 20% per annum investment return from the Company on the consideration, with a minimum repayment term of six months and minimum return of $0.5 million, (ii) all payments recovered from the accounts receivable up to $5.25 million, if paid in full within six months, or $5.5 million, if not paid in full within six months, and (iii) 20% of all payments of the accounts receivable in excess of amounts received in (i) and (ii). On March 31, 2017, to the extent that the counterparty had not been paid $6.0 million, the Company was required to pay the difference. Christopher Diamantes, a director of the Company, guaranteed the Company’s obligation. On March 24, 2017, the Company, the counterparty and Mr. Diamantis, as guarantor, entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to extend the Company’s obligation to March 31, 2018. Also, what the counterparty was to receive was amended to equal (a) the $5,000,000 purchase price plus a 20% per annum investment return thereon, plus (b) $500,000, plus (c) the product of (i) the proceeds received from the accounts receivable, minus the amount set forth in clauses (a) and (b), multiplied by (ii) 40%. In connection with the extension, the counterparty received a fee of $1,000,000. On April 2, 2018, the Company, the counterparty and Mr. Diamantis, as guarantor, entered into a second amendment to extend further the Company’s obligation to May 30, 2018. In connection with this further extension, the counterparty received a fee of $100,000. The counterparty instituted an arbitration proceeding under the agreement with regard to the outstanding balance. In December 2018, the Company, Mr. Diamantis and the counterparty entered into a preliminary settlement agreement in connection with the arbitration, with the terms of the settlement agreement revised on March 31, 2019. The Company and Mr. Diamantis agreed to pay the counterparty $2,000,000 on or before April 5, 2019 and an additional $7,694,685 plus interest at 10% per annum on or before May 20, 2019, which date was subsequently amended. On April 5, 2019 and May 31, 2019, Mr. Diamantis made payments totaling $5.0 million on behalf of the Company. The final payment of $4,937,105 was due on or before July 28, 2019. Mr. Diamantis made that payment on behalf of the Company on July 26, 2019. The Company and Mr. Diamantis have now complied with all of their obligations under the settlement agreement. As a result, the Company is obligated to repay Mr. Diamantis a total of $9,937,105, of which $5,000,000 is included in the balance of loans payable to Mr. Diamantis in the table above and $4,937,105 is included on the Balance Sheets in Accrued Expenses at June 30, 2019.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, in addition to the $5.0 million that Mr. Diamantis loaned the Company in connection with the settlement of the prepaid forward purchase contract discussed above, Mr. Diamantis advanced the Company: (i) $0.7 million for the purchase of Jellico Community Hospital as more fully discussed in Note 5; $0.3 million for fees and expenses incurred in connection with the settlement of the prepaid forward purchase contract; and $3.1 million for working capital purposes. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, we accrued interest of $0.6 million and $0.7 million, respectively, on the advances from Mr. Diamantis. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we repaid $1.5 million of advances from Mr. Diamantis. Interest accrues on advances from Mr. Diamantis at a flat rate of 10%. Therefore, the total amount of loans and accrued interest payable to Mr. Diamantis at June 30, 2019, were $8.4 million and $1.0 million, respectively. See Note 19 for the discussion of additional advances/repayments made to/from Mr. Diamantis and the Company subsequent to June 30, 2019.
