Item 1.01.
Entry into Material Definitive Agreement.
 
On September 27, 2012, XOMA Corporation (the “Company”) entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to its loan agreement dated as of December 30, 2011, by and among the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary XOMA (US) LLC as borrower (the “Borrower”), the Company, XOMA Technology Ltd. and XOMA Ireland Limited as guarantors, and General Electric Capital Corporation as agent and lender (“GE”), with such other lenders from time to time a party thereto.  The original principal amount under the December 2011 loan agreement with GE (the “Loan Agreement”) was $10,000,000, of which a principal amount of $7,857,143 was outstanding immediately prior to the effective date of the Amendment.  The Amendment provides for an additional term loan in the amount of $4,642,857, and an extension of the interest-only monthly repayment period with respect to the aggregate loan obligation of $12,500,000 outstanding following the effective date of the Amendment through March 1, 2013, at a stated interest rate of 10.9% per annum. Thereafter, the Borrower is obligated to make monthly principal payments of $347,222, plus accrued interest, at a stated interest rate of 10.9% per annum, over a 27-month period commencing on April 1, 2013 and through June 15, 2015 (the “Maturity Date”), at which time the remaining outstanding principal amount of $3,125,000, plus accrued interest, shall be due.  An “accrued final payment fee” in the amount of $191,283 was paid on the effective date of the Amendment, and a “final payment fee” in the amount of $875,000 is payable on the date upon which the outstanding principal amount is required to be repaid in full. Any mandatory or voluntary prepayment of the $12,500,000 will accelerate the due date of the final payment fee, and trigger a prepayment penalty equal to 3% of the outstanding principal amount being prepaid if prepaid on or before September 27, 2013, 2% if prepaid on or before September 27, 2014, and 1% if prepaid after September 27, 2014, but prior to the Maturity Date.  In connection with the Amendment, the Company, the Borrower, XOMA Ireland Limited and XOMA Technology Ltd., each reaffirmed the security interest that was granted pursuant to the Loan Agreement, which covers substantially all of their existing and after-acquired assets, excluding intellectual property assets.  The other material terms of the Loan Agreement remain as set forth in the Loan Agreement, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 14, 2012 as Exhibit 10.43 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended 2011, and incorporated herein by reference.
 
In connection with the Amendment, on September 27, 2012 we issued GE a warrant to purchase up to 39,346 shares of our common stock (the “Warrant”). The Warrant is exercisable immediately, has a five year term and an exercise price of $3.54 per share.
 
The Amendment and the Warrant are filed herewith as Exhibits 4.10 and 10.46, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Amendment and the Warrant is qualified in its entirety by reference to such exhibits.
