style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">On April 8, 2020, Westell, Inc. (the "Borrower"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Westell Technologies, Inc. (the &#8220;Company&#8221;) applied for a loan from JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as lender, pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the &#8220;CARES Act&#8221;) as administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (the "SBA").  On April 14, 2020, the Loan was approved and Borrower received the proceeds from a loan in the amount of $1,637,522 (the &#8220;PPP Loan&#8221;). </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The PPP Loan, which took the form of a promissory note issued by Borrower (the &#8220;Promissory Note&#8221;) matures on April 8, 2022 and bears interest at a rate of 0.98% per annum. Monthly principal and interest payments, less the amount of any potential forgiveness (discussed below), will commence on November 8, 2020.  The Borrower did not provide any collateral or guarantees for the PPP Loan, nor did Borrower pay any facility charge to obtain the PPP Loan.  The Promissory Note provides for customary events of default, including, among others, those relating to failure to make payment, bankruptcy, breaches of representations and material adverse effects. Borrower may prepay the principal of the PPP Loan at any time without incurring any prepayment charges.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">All or a portion of the Loan may be forgiven by the SBA and lender upon application by the Company beginning 60 days but not later than 120 days after loan approval and upon documentation of expenditures in accordance with the SBA requirements.  Under the CARES Act, loan forgiveness is available for the sum of documented payroll costs, covered rent payments, and covered utilities during the eight week period beginning on the date of loan approval. For purposes of the CARES Act, payroll costs exclude compensation of an individual employee in excess of $100,000, prorated annually. Not more than 25% of the forgiven amount may be for non-payroll costs. Forgiveness is reduced if full-time headcount declines, or if salaries and wages for employees with salaries of $100,000 or less annually are reduced by more than 25%.  In the event the PPP Loan, or any portion thereof, is forgiven pursuant to the PPP, the amount forgiven is applied to outstanding principal.</font></div><div

Item 1.01
Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On April 8, 2020, Westell, Inc. (the "Borrower"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Westell Technologies, Inc. (the "Company") applied for a loan from JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as lender, pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act") as administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (the "SBA").  On April 14, 2020, the Loan was approved and Borrower received the proceeds from a loan in the amount of $1,637,522 (the "PPP Loan").
The PPP Loan, which took the form of a promissory note issued by Borrower (the "Promissory Note") matures on April 8, 2022 and bears interest at a rate of 0.98% per annum. Monthly principal and interest payments, less the amount of any potential forgiveness (discussed below), will commence on November 8, 2020.  The Borrower did not provide any collateral or guarantees for the PPP Loan, nor did Borrower pay any facility charge to obtain the PPP Loan.  The Promissory Note provides for customary events of default, including, among others, those relating to failure to make payment, bankruptcy, breaches of representations and material adverse effects. Borrower may prepay the principal of the PPP Loan at any time without incurring any prepayment charges.
All or a portion of the Loan may be forgiven by the SBA and lender upon application by the Company beginning 60 days but not later than 120 days after loan approval and upon documentation of expenditures in accordance with the SBA requirements.  Under the CARES Act, loan forgiveness is available for the sum of documented payroll costs, covered rent payments, and covered utilities during the eight week period beginning on the date of loan approval. For purposes of the CARES Act, payroll costs exclude compensation of an individual employee in excess of $100,000, prorated annually. Not more than 25% of the forgiven amount may be for non-payroll costs. Forgiveness is reduced if full-time headcount declines, or if salaries and wages for employees with salaries of $100,000 or less annually are reduced by more than 25%.  In the event the PPP Loan, or any portion thereof, is forgiven pursuant to the PPP, the amount forgiven is applied to outstanding principal.
A copy of the Promissory Note is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this report and incorporated herein by reference.
