On December 17, 2014, Revance Therapeutics, Inc. entered into a First Amendment to Loan and Lease Agreement with Essex Capital Corporation, which amended the Loan and Lease Agreement entered into by and between Revance and Essex Capital on December 20, 2013.

Revance entered into the Loan and Lease Agreement to finance the construction and installation of its topical botulinum toxin commercial fill and finish line. Under the terms of the Loan and Lease Agreement, Essex Capital agreed to provide Revance a series of short-term notes totaling $10.8 million (the “Essex Notes”) during the construction period. The Loan and Lease Agreement required Essex Capital to purchase the commercial fill and finish line for a purchase price equal to the principal amount of the outstanding Essex Notes and to lease such equipment back to Revance for a 36 month lease term. The Loan and Lease Agreement also required that Revance repay the Essex Notes in full if acceptance and installation of the commercial fill and finish line and the sale-leaseback transaction were not executed prior to December 20, 2014, the one year anniversary of the Loan and Lease Agreement. Revance now anticipates completing the acceptance of the commercial fill and finish line and executing the sale-leaseback transaction during the first quarter of 2015.

The First Amendment to the Loan and Lease Agreement (i) requires Revance to repay the principal balance and all accrued interest on outstanding Essex Notes, or approximately $3.9 million, on December 20, 2014, (ii) extends the term of the agreement to March 16, 2015, and (iii) provides that Revance will sell the commercial fill and finish line to Essex Capital at the original invoice amounts, not to exceed approximately $9.7 million. Concurrent with this sale, Revance agreed to lease the commercial fill and finish line from Essex Capital under the original terms of the Loan and Lease Agreement at an annual interest rate of 10.375% for a 36 month lease term.

Also, pursuant to the Loan and Lease Agreement, Revance issued to Essex Capital a warrant to purchase up to 44,753 shares of Revance common stock at an exercise price of $14.40 per share.

The Loan Agreement was previously filed as Exhibit 10.21 to the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-193154), as filed by Revance with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 31, 2013, and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing summary of the First Amendment to the Loan and Lease Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto.

The disclosure in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference.
