This Current Report on Form 8-K is being filed by Amyris, Inc. (the “Company”) to disclose funding under loan agreements previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on July 19, 2012. As background, as of July 13, 2012, Amyris Brasil Ltda. (“AB”), a Brazilian subsidiary of the registrant, Amyris, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into a Note of Bank Credit with each of Banco Pine S.A. (“Pine”) and Nossa Caixa Desenvolvimento, the Sao Paulo State development bank (“Nossa Caixa” and, together with Pine, the “Lenders”) and a Fiduciary Conveyance of Movable Goods agreement among AB and both Lenders (such agreements and instruments, collectively, the “Loan Agreements”).
On July 26, 2012, AB received an aggregate of R$52 million (approximately US$25.7 million based on the exchange rate as of July 26, 2012) (R$22 million from Pine and R$30 million from Nossa Caixa) in funding under the Loan Agreements entered into on July 13, 2012. Such loans have a final maturity date of July 15, 2022 and bear a fixed interest rate of 5.5% per year. For the first two years that the loans are outstanding, AB is required to pay interest only on a quarterly basis. After August 15, 2014, AB is required to pay equal monthly installments of both principal and interest for the remainder of the term of the loans.
