Long-term Debt |
11. Long-term Debt Avenue Capital Loan. On January 26, 2022 (“Closing Date”), the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Avenue Capital Agreement”) with Avenue Venture Opportunities Fund, L.P. (“Avenue”) and Avenue Venture Opportunities Fund II, L.P. (Avenue 2”) as lenders (the “Avenue Capital Lenders”), and Avenue Capital Management II, L.P. as administrative agent (the “Avenue Capital Agent”, and collectively with the Avenue Capital Lenders, “Avenue Capital”), pursuant to which the Avenue Capital Lenders provided the Company and certain of its subsidiaries with a secured $15.0 million loan. The interest rate on the loan is the greater of the prime rate and 3.25%, plus 7.4%, payable monthly in arrears. The maturity date of the loan is January 26, 2025. The proceeds from the Avenue Capital Agreement were used to repay the Deerfield Facility. Pursuant to the Avenue Capital Agreement, the Company will make interest only payments for the first 18 months following the Closing Date (“Interest-only Period”). The Interest-only Period could be extended automatically without any action by any party for six months provided, as of the last day of the Interest-only Period then in effect, the Company received, prior to June 15, 2023, a specified amount of net proceeds from the sale and issuance of its equity securities (“Interest-only Milestone 1”). The Interest-only Period could further be extended automatically without any action by any party for an additional twelve months provided, the Company has achieved, prior to December 31, 2023, (i) Interest-only Milestone 1 and (ii) a specified amount of trailing 12 months revenue (“Interest-only Milestone 2”) as of the date of determination. In connection with the Eclipse Fourth Amendment, on March 24, 2023, Avenue and the Company entered into a First Amendment (the “Avenue Amendment”) to the Avenue Capital Agreement. The Avenue Amendment, among other things, permitted the increase in revolving loan commitment provided by the Eclipse Lender under the Eclipse Facility. In the event the Company prepays the outstanding principal prior to the maturity date, the Company will pay Avenue Capital a fee equal to (i) 3.0% of the loan if such event occurs on or before January 26, 2023, (ii) 2.0% of the loan if such event occurs after January 26, 2023 but on or before January 26, 2024, and (iii) 1.0% of the loan if such event occurs after January 26, 2024 but before January 26, 2025. In addition, upon the payment in full of the obligations, the Company shall pay to Avenue Capital a fee in the amount of $0.6 million (“Final Payment”). The Company accounted for the Final Payment as additional obligations on the debt, with the corresponding charge being recorded as debt discount. The Company’s obligations under Avenue Capital Agreement are secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets, with a first priority lien in favor of the Avenue Capital Agent on the Term Loan Priority Collateral, and a second priority lien in favor of the Avenue Capital Agent on the ABL Priority Collateral, as each is defined in the Intercreditor Agreement, as defined in the Avenue Capital Agreement. The Avenue Capital Agreement contains customary affirmative covenants, negative covenants and events of default, as defined in the agreement, including covenants and restrictions that, among other things, require the Company to satisfy certain capital expenditure limitations and other financial covenants, and restricts the Company’s ability to incur liens, incur additional indebtedness, make certain dividends and distributions with respect to equity securities, engage in mergers and acquisitions or make asset sales without the prior written consent of the Avenue Capital Lenders. A failure to comply with these covenants could permit the Avenue Capital Lenders to declare the Company’s obligations under the agreement, together with accrued interest and fees, to be immediately due and payable, plus any applicable additional amounts relating to a prepayment or termination, as described above. As of September 30, 2023, the Company was in compliance with the covenants under the Avenue Capital Agreement. On January 26, 2022 (“Issuance Date”), as consideration for entering into the Avenue Capital Agreement, the Company issued warrants to the Avenue Capital Lenders to purchase shares of common stock at an exercise price equal to $24.20 per share (the “Avenue Capital Warrants”). The Avenue Capital Warrants provided that in the event the Company were to engage in an equity offering at a price lower than $24.20 prior to June 30, 2022, the exercise price would be adjusted to the effective price of such equity offering, and the number of shares of common stock to be issued under the Avenue Capital Warrants would be adjusted as set forth in the agreement. The Avenue Capital Warrants are immediately exercisable and expire on January 31, 2027. The Company accounted for the Avenue Capital Warrants as a liability as the number of warrants was not fixed at the Issuance Date. The fair value of the Avenue Capital Warrants at issuance was approximately $0.6 million. On March 7, 2022, the Company closed on an equity offering of shares of common stock and warrants at an offering price of $25.00 per share. As this offering precluded the Company from pursuing any equity financing prior to July 7, 2022, and the effective price of the March 7, 2022 offering was more than the exercise price of the Avenue Capital Warrants, the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Avenue Capital Warrants were set to 43,388 at an exercise price of $24.20. On October 25, 2022, the Company entered into an agreement with Avenue to extend the interest-only period of its existing senior secure loan facility held with Avenue. The amendment to the original loan agreement, which was executed in January 2022, extends the interest-only period to January of 2024. In exchange for this extension of the interest-only period, the Company and Avenue agreed to reset the exercise price of the warrants issued in conjunction with the original loan agreement to $8.60, corresponding to the warrant exercise price associated with the Company’s August 2022 equity financing. On June 13, 2023, in conjunction with the Securities Purchase Agreement described in Note 16 – Warrants, the interest-only period of the Avenue Capital Agreement was extended further, to January 26, 2025, upon the achievement of both the revenue-based milestone and equity raise-based milestone stipulated in the Avenue Capital Agreement. In addition to the debt discount discussed above, the Company incurred $0.4 million in loan origination, legal and other fees. The debt discount and issuance costs are being amortized over the term of the loan, using the effective interest method resulting in an effective rate of 19.6%. Total interest expense, including debt discount amortization, was $0.7 million and $0.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
