Item 1.01.Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Effective February 23, 2018, AtriCure, Inc. (the “Company”) and Silicon Valley Bank (the “Bank”) entered into a Loan and Security Agreement which amends and restates the Company’s credit facility with the Bank.

The agreement provides for a $40,000 term loan, and $20,000 revolving line of credit with an option to increase the revolving line of credit by an additional $20,000. The Loan and Security Agreement credit facility has a five-year term, expiring February 2023. Principal payments of the term loan are to be made ratably commencing eighteen months after the inception of the loan through the loan’s maturity date. If the Company meets certain conditions, as specified by the agreement, the commencement of term loan principal payments may be deferred by an additional six months. The term loan accrues interest at the greater of the Prime Rate plus 3.75% or 8.25% and is subject to an additional 3.50% fee on the original $40,000 term loan principal amount at maturity. The revolving line of credit is subject to an annual facility fee of 0.33% of the revolving line of credit, and any borrowings bear interest at the greater of the Prime Rate and 4.50%. The Loan and Security Agreement also provides for certain prepayment and early termination fees, as well as establishes covenants related to sales growth, along with other customary terms and conditions similar to those in the Company’s current agreement with SVB.

The foregoing description of the Loan and Security Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Loan and Security Agreement as attached to and filed with this Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1.
