| COVID-19 PANDEMIC | ON MARCH 11, 2020, THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION DECLARED THE OUTBREAK OF A RESPIRATORY DISEASE CAUSED BY A NEW CORONAVIRUS AS A "PANDEMIC". FIRST IDENTIFIED IN LATE 2019 AND KNOWN NOW AS COVID-19, THE OUTBREAK HAS IMPACTED MILLIONS OF INDIVIDUALS WORLDWIDE. IN RESPONSE, MANY COUNTRIES HAVE IMPLEMENTED MEASURES TO COMBAT THE OUTBREAK WHICH HAVE IMPACTED GLOBAL BUSINESS OPERATIONS. OUT OF CONCERN FOR THE SAFETY AND HEALTH OF ITS GUESTS AND EMPLOYEES, NPI TEMPORARILY CLOSED THE PIER ON MARCH 16, 2020. ILLINOIS GOVERNOR J.B. PRITZKER ISSUED EXECUTIVE ORDER 2020-10 ON MARCH 20, 2020 WHICH REQUIRED NON-ESSENTIAL BUSINESSES TO TEMPORARILY CEASE OPERATIONS. APPROXIMATELY 80 STAFF WERE FURLOUGHED OR LAID-OFF AFTER MARCH 27, 2020. NPI WAS ABLE TO SECURE A PAYCHECK PROTECTION PROGRAM TERM NOTE (PPP LOAN) THROUGH ITS PRIMARY LENDER ON APRIL 20, 2020, ALLOWING FURLOUGHED AND LAID-OFF STAFF TO RETURN TO WORK IN ORDER TO PREPARE FOR THE UPCOMING SUMMER SEASON. (FORGIVENESS OF THE PPP LOAN WAS GRANTED IN SEPTEMBER 2021 USING A 12-WEEK COVERED PERIOD FOR SALARIES, EMPLOYEE BENEFITS, AND UTILITY EXPENSES.) THE PIER REMAINED CLOSED TO THE PUBLIC UNTIL JUNE 10, 2020, WHEN IT REOPENED PER THE TERMS OF EXECUTIVE ORDER 2020-38. PURSUANT TO STATE OF ILLINOIS RESTRICTIONS, NPI WAS NOT ABLE TO OPERATE PIER PARK AMUSEMENTS, OR ITS CONVENTION AND MEETING FACILITIES AFTER MARCH 16, 2020. DUE TO THE ANTICIPATED DROP IN ATTENDANCE, EACH TENANT WAS OFFERED A RENT-RELIEF PACKAGE IN ORDER TO ENSURE THE TENANTS' LONG-TERM SURVIVAL; AGREEMENTS FOR RENT RELIEF WERE REACHED WITH ALL BUT THREE TENANTS BY THE END OF 2020. THE OPERATING RESTRICTIONS AND DECREASED ATTENDANCE NEGATIVELY IMPACTED NPI'S REVENUES, LIQUIDITY, AND NET ASSETS WITHOUT DONOR RESTRICTIONS. NPI MOVED TO MITIGATE THE IMPACT BY REDUCING ITS WORKFORCE, REDUCING SALARIES, REDUCING CONTRACTED SERVICES, DELAYING CAPITAL EXPENDITURES, REDUCING ADVERTISING COSTS AND OTHER DISCRETIONARY SPENDING, AND ACTIVELY MANAGING CASH DISBURSEMENTS, WHICH HAS ALLOWED NPI TO MEET ITS OBLIGATIONS AS THEY BECOME DUE. NPI'S DEBT OBLIGATIONS WERE RENEGOTIATED WITH ITS PRIMARY LENDER. THE VOLUNTEER BOARD AND STAFF LEADERSHIP OF NPI ENGAGED IN A FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN TO ALLOW THE PIER TO RE-OPEN, REPLENISH CASH RESERVES AND CONTINUE TO OFFER RENT RELIEF TO ITS TENANT PARTNERS. DESPITE THESE PROACTIVE MEASURES, ATTENDANCE DURING SUMMER 2020 WAS APPROXIMATELY 15% OF THAT FROM THE PRIOR YEAR. IN AN EFFORT TO PRESERVE ITS LIQUIDITY, NPI DECIDED TO CLOSE THE PIER TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC AFTER LABOR DAY, AND RE-OPENED APRIL 30, 2021. TENANT LEASES WERE AGAIN MODIFIED DURING THIS CLOSURE PERIOD. |
