SBA Releases New Frequently Asked Question (No. 49) - Maturity Dates for PPP Loans

Client Alert

On June 25, 2020 the SBA released a new Frequently Asked Question (No. 49) concerning the maturity dates for PPP Loans as modified by the recently passed Paycheck Protection Program Flexibility Act. All PPP Loans received on or after June 5, 2020, will have a five-year maturity. Any PPP Loan received before June 5, 2020, has a two-year maturity, unless the borrower and lender mutually agree to extend the term of the loan to five years. Businesses should address the maturity issue with their SBA lender and discuss any available change to the loan maturity date.

For additional clarity concerning the issue of when PPP Loan proceeds must be used to refinance Economic Injury Disaster Loans (EIDL), the SBA issued a new Procedural Notice on June 22, 2020. Consistent with the CARES Act, the Procedural Notice provides:

  • A Business that received an EIDL Loan from January 31, 2020 through April 3, 2020 and used the EIDL Loan funds to pay “payroll costs” must refinance the EIDL Loan with any PPP Loan proceeds received.
  • A Business that received an EIDL Loan from January 31, 2020 through April 3, 2020 but used the EIDL Loan funds to pay expenses other than “payroll costs” is not required to refinance the EIDL Loan with PPP Loan proceeds received.
  • A Business that received an EIDL Loan either before January 31, 2020 or after April 3, 2020 may not use PPP Loan proceeds to refinance the EIDL Loan.
