Real Estate Note
On October 1, 2018, one of the Operating Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries financed the purchase of a building which serves as our corporate headquarters through a real estate term note (the “Real Estate Note”) in the principal amount of $8.5 million. Principal payments plus accrued interest at a rate of one-month LIBOR plus 2.39% are due monthly, with a final payment of all remaining outstanding principal and accrued interest due in October 2025. Our obligations under the Real Estate Note are secured by a mortgage on the property. The Real Estate Note contains customary covenants and restrictions, including, without limitation, covenants that require us to comply with laws, restrictions on our ability to incur additional indebtedness, and various customary remedies for the lender following an event of default, including the acceleration of repayment of outstanding amounts under the Real Estate Note and execution upon the collateral securing obligations under the Real Estate Note. As of March 31, 2022, we were in compliance with the Real Estate Note covenants. Our Real Estate Note is subject to an interest rate swap contract, see “Note 4—Fair Value of Financial Instruments.”
One-month LIBOR is expected to be discontinued and replaced after June 2023 and the credit facility has a maturity date beyond that time. There can be no assurances as to what the alternative base rate will be once one-month LIBOR is discontinued, and we can provide no assurances whether that base rate will be more or less favorable than LIBOR. We intend to monitor the developments with respect to the phasing out of one-month LIBOR and work with our lenders to ensure that any transition away from one-month LIBOR will have minimal impact on our financial condition but can provide no assurances regarding the impact of LIBOR discontinuation.
Eyce Promissory Note
In March 2021, one of the Operating Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries financed a portion of the consideration of the acquisition of Eyce through the issuance of an unsecured promissory note (the "Eyce Promissory Note") in the principal amount of $2.5 million. Principal payments plus accrued interest at a rate of 4.5% are due quarterly through April 2023.
DaVinci Promissory Note

In November 2021, one of the Operating Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries financed the acquisition of DaVinci through the issuance of an unsecured promissory note (the "DaVinci Promissory Note") in the principal amount of $5.0 million. Principal payments plus accrued interest at a rate of 4.0% are due quarterly through October 2023.
Bridge Loan
In December 2021, we entered into a Secured Promissory Note with Aaron LoCascio, our co-founder, former Chief Executive Officer and President, and a current director of the Company, in which Mr. LoCascio provided us with a bridge loan in the principal amount of $8.0 million (the “Bridge Loan”). The Bridge Loan accrues interest at a rate of 15.0% is due monthly, and the principal amount is due in full in June 2022. We incurred $0.3 million of debt issuance costs related to the Bridge Loan, which are recorded as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the Bridge Loan, and which will continue to be amortized over the term of the Bridge Loan through interest expense.
The Bridge Loan is secured by a continuing security interest in all of our assets and properties whether then or thereafter existing or required, including our inventory and receivables (as defined under the Universal Commercial Code) and includes negative covenants restricting our ability to incur further indebtedness and engage in certain asset dispositions until the earlier of June 30, 2022 or the Bridge Loan has been fully repaid.
