On December 8, 2014, ADMA Biologics, Inc. (the "Company") drew down an additional $5 million from Hercules Technology Growth Capital, Inc. ("Hercules") pursuant to the Company's Loan and Security Agreement, dated December 21, 2012, as amended on February 24, 2014 (the "Loan Agreement"), by and among the Company, Hercules and certain affiliates of the Company. Under the Loan Agreement as amended, the Company borrowed $10 million from Hercules on February 24, 2014 ($5.0 million of which was used to refinance then-existing debt with Hercules), and Hercules agreed to lend the Company an additional $5 million upon the Company successfully meeting the clinical endpoints of a Phase III clinical study of RI-002 as a treatment for Primary Immunodeficiency Diseases in an manner that supports a Biologic License Application filing. On December 3, 2014, the Company announced that RI-002 demonstrated top line positive Phase III results and successfully achieved its primary endpoint.
The loan bears interest at a rate per annum equal to the greater of (i) 8.75% and (ii) the sum of (a) 8.75% plus (b) the Prime Rate (as reported in The Wall Street Journal) minus (c) 5.75%. Payment-in-kind interest accrues on the outstanding principal balance of the loan compounded monthly at 1.95% per annum and such accrued and unpaid interest is added to the principal balance of the loan on the first day of each month beginning on the month after loan was received. The principal will be repaid over 27 months beginning October 1, 2015, unless accelerated as a result of certain events of default.
As a result of the draw down, the warrant we previously issued to Hercules provided for Hercules to purchase an additional 23,200 shares of common stock. The warrant provides for an exercise price equal to the lower of (i) $7.50 per share and (ii) the price per share of equity issued in the next round of financing consummated prior to February 24, 2015. The warrant expires on February 24, 2024 and has piggyback registration rights with respect to the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise.
In the event the Company elects to prepay the loan, the Company is obligated to pay a prepayment charge corresponding to a percentage of the principal amount of the loan, with such percentage being: 2.5% if prepayment occurs in the first year, 1.5% if prepayment occurs in the second year and 0.5% if prepayment occurs after the second year but prior to the final day of the term. The loan matures on January 1, 2018.
The information disclosed by the Company under Items 1.01 and 2.03 of the Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on December 28, 2012 and on February 27, 2014 is incorporated herein by reference.
The foregoing summary the Loan Agreement does not purport to be complete and are qualified in its entirety by reference to the Loan Agreement, which was filed with the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-1, filed with the SEC on February 11, 2013 and the First Amendment to the Loan Agreement, which was filed exhibit 10.20.1 to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, filed with the SEC on March 28, 2014.
