Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On December 22, 2011, the Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Oxford Finance LLC (“Oxford”), Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”) and General Electric Capital Corporation (“GECC”) (each a “Lender,” and collectively, the “Lenders”). The Loan Agreement amends and restates the Company’s existing amended and restated loan and security agreement, and provides the Company with approximately $4.5 million of additional growth capital, which is equal to $30.0 million minus the aggregate outstanding principal amount of approximately $25.5 million under the previous agreement. In connection with the closing, the Company drew the additional growth capital advance so that the full $30.0 million available under the Loan Agreement was outstanding. The Company will initially make interest-only payments through December 31, 2012, and then will be required to make 30 monthly principal and interest payments to fully amortize the loan. The interest rate under the Loan Agreement is fixed at 10.99%. The Company paid customary fees and expenses in connection with the closing of the Loan Agreement. The loan facility contains customary default and acceleration provisions and is secured by the Company’s assets, excluding intellectual property. The Company was required to make a negative pledge of its intellectual property, which generally prohibits the Company from granting liens on its intellectual property.
In connection with the growth capital advance, the Company issued to Oxford, warrants to purchase 79,156 shares of the Company’s common stock, to SVB, a warrant to purchase 29,018 shares of the Company’s common stock and to an affiliate of GECC, a warrant to purchase 50,137 shares of the Company’s common stock (collectively, the “Warrants”). The exercise price for each Warrant is $3.79 per share. The Warrants are immediately exercisable, and excluding certain mergers or acquisitions, will expire on the seven-year anniversary of the date of issuance.
The foregoing summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Loan Agreement and the Warrants, copies of which are attached as exhibits hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
The information contained in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K with respect to the Loan Agreement is incorporated by reference herein and made a part hereof.
Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
The information contained in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K with respect to the Warrants is incorporated by reference herein and made a part hereof. The Warrants were issued in a private placement pursuant to Rule 506 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and thus have not been registered under the Securities Act. The securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.
