PPP in M&A: How Paycheck Protection Program Loans Could Affect Your Deal
2 pm ET | 11 am PT
The Small Business Administration recently set rules for dealing with PPP loans in M&A transactions. If either side in a deal has received a PPP loan, the parties must be prepared for increased scrutiny during due diligence, transaction timeline delays and certain valuation implications.
Join us for a webinar on these issues and more, including firsthand perspective from a company that recently completed an acquisition of a PPP loan borrower.
Topics will include:
- What constitutes a “change of ownership” of a PPP borrower and when (and if) SBA approval is needed
- What lenders must submit if prior approval by the SBA is required
- PPP borrower liability
- The effect of an escrow for the amount of a PPP loan
- Timeline for obtaining SBA approval
- Considerations for whether the PPP loan should be repaid or assumed in connection with the closing
