Biofrontera Inc. Closes a $4.2 Million Senior Secured Convertible Note
November 22 2024 - 9:10AM
Biofrontera Inc. (Nasdaq: BFRI) (“Biofrontera” or the “Company”), a
biopharmaceutical company specializing in the development and
commercialization of photodynamic therapy (PDT), today announced
the completion of a private placement of a $4.2 million senior
secured convertible note (the “Note”) with its principal
shareholders.
The Note matures on November 22, 2027, bears a
paid in kind interest of 10% per annum and is secured by the
Company’s assets. The principal amount of the Note in whole or in
part is convertible into common shares at the holder’s discretion
at a fixed conversion price of $0.78. Alternatively, the entire
amount of the note will be automatically converted to common shares
if the 10-day volume weighted average price (VWAP) of Company
shares on Nasdaq is greater than $2.50, and certain other
conditions are met. The Notes contain customary restrictive
covenants that, among other things, generally limit the ability of
the Company to (i) create liens, (ii) pay dividends or acquire
shares of capital stock, (iii) incur indebtedness, or (iv) enter
into transactions with affiliates. The foregoing restrictive
covenants are subject to a number of important exceptions and
qualifications, as set forth in the Notes.
The proceeds from this financing will primarily
support Biofrontera’s general operations and strategic investments,
including the Company’s commercial and clinical development
initiatives aimed at driving continued sustainable growth.
“With our revenues on a steady upward
trajectory, the proceeds from this convertible note provide a solid
foundation to meet our financial objectives for 2025 and beyond,”
said Prof. Hermann Luebbert, CEO of Biofrontera.
