Hi Rocco,
Long time no chat; ] hope you're welll

T'm writing you as Allison Buver Entertainment is seeking a PPP loan for up to $10mm.
Allison, copied on this email, is.a former short track Olympian atid has taken that drive, as
well as acting and marketing talent, to the next stage in her career. She has a TV show
(Atmeriga's Angels -- like Shark Tank but with a focus o1 women-owned businesses) with
distribution rights tn place as well as. two movies with distribution as well, She's been
infarmed by the SBA that her firm qualifies which also seems to be. borne out by SBA PPP
web site criteria. However, she's not confident the local Utah bank(s) she’s approached
would approve tn a timely manner and other banks are unsure of SBA guidance as related to
her Covid-19 impact.

Please see Allison's email below and advise if someone within the SBA can confirm that
Allison's company qualifies for a SBA Joan. By the way, she was born and raised in
Southeastern PA (Reading); so a great local story!

‘To: Carl Kruelle <chkmelle@gmailcom>

Hello Carl,

Allison Baver Entertainment is eligible for PPP loan as a new business established in Oct.
2019 and from what folks at the SBA have told me is to work with a banks to qualify the
loan using different applicable time period for the payroll, which in my case would be the
months disabled due to Covid-19.

* Right now most banks are only accepting existing customers and the ones ] have spoken
i with require the past {2 months or Jan./Feb. 2020 payroll, which does not apply to my new
entertainment company because of the timeline, I had only paid an attorney for the projects
| in operations, You see, we had a TV show and two films scheduled to start production in
' Spring 2020 and these projects employ 430 people with the PPP loan amount of $8.3M.
! Oue of the projects is a TV that we received a distribution offer from A + E Network to ait
: * the show Q4 this year! The show is called America’s Angels and helps women driven

: business, employs 80 people atid will have a substantial impact for women in closing the
; Socioeconomic gap.

I did speak to.one bank who said if 1 can have someone qualified at the SBA confirm that
the-bank is allowed to qualify the foan for new business based on the COVID-19 losses
during the months for the projects and hires scheduled for this applicable time period, they
will approve the loan immediately, Do you know anyone who can please assist and provide
that confirmation?

documents found at below downloadable link,
