Item 1.01Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On November 4, 2014, Protalex, Inc., a Delaware corporation (OTCBB: PRTX) (the “Company”) entered into a new Credit Facility Agreement (the “2014 Credit Facility Agreement”) pursuant to which Niobe Ventures, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Niobe”), the Company’s existing secured lender, agreed to loan, and the Company may borrow, up to an additional $5.0 Million in the form of secured loans at the request of the Company made in accordance with the 2014 Credit Facility Agreement at any time prior to the December 31, 2015 expiration date.

 

Each loan made to the Company by Niobe under the 2014 Credit Facility Agreement will be represented by a senior secured promissory note bearing interest at a rate of 3% per annum and maturing on September 1, 2016 (each a “Note”). The obligations of the Company pursuant to each Note will be secured by a first priority perfected security interest in all of the assets of the Company pursuant to the Second Consolidated, Amended and Restated Security Agreement (the “Security Agreement”).

 

In addition on November 4, 2014, the Company entered into a Note Modification Agreement (the “Note Modification Agreement”) with Niobe pursuant to which the Consolidated, Amended and Restated Promissory Note (the “Outstanding Note”) made by the Company to Niobe in the principal amount of $9,219,366, dated October 11, 2013, as modified on October 6, 2014, was further amended to increase the Mandatory Prepayment Amount (as defined in the Outstanding Note) from $7.5 Million to $10 Million. As a result, partial prepayment will now be triggered in the event of a Liquidity Event (as defined in the Outstanding Note) in which the Company receives gross proceeds in excess of $10 million (as opposed to $7.5 million). All other terms and provisions of the Outstanding Note remained unchanged and in full force and effect.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the Note Modification Agreement, 2014 Credit Facility Agreement and Security Agreement are qualified in their entirety by the full text of such agreements, which are filed as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3 hereto, respectively, and incorporated by reference herein.

 

 

Item 2.03Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant

 

On November 4, 2014, the Company borrowed $300,000 from Niobe and issued to Niobe a Note in the same principal amount evidencing the loan pursuant to the 2014 Credit Facility Agreement. Payment of the principal and accrued interest on the Note will, at Niobe’s election, automatically become immediately due and payable if the Company undertakes certain Fundamental Transactions or upon an Event of Default, both as defined in the Note. The Company’s obligations under the Note are secured by the Security Agreement.

 

The foregoing description of the Note is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Note, which is filed as Exhibit 4.1 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.
