Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Obligation of a Registrant.

On November 29, 2019, ANI Pharmaceuticals, Inc. exercised its option to borrow $118.0 million pursuant to the Delayed Draw Term Loan feature (the “DDTL”) under its existing Senior Secured Credit Facility (the “Credit Facility”) with Citizens Bank, N.A. Amounts drawn under the DDTL bear an interest rate equal to, at our option, either a LIBOR rate plus 1.50% to 2.75% per annum, depending on our total leverage ratio, or an alternative base rate plus an applicable base rate margin, which varies within a range of 0.50% to 1.75%, depending on our total leverage ratio.

On December 2, 2019, we used the proceeds from the DDTL to repay our outstanding 3.0% Convertible Senior Notes (the “Notes”), which matured on December 1, 2019. As December 1, 2019 is a Sunday and not a Business Day as defined in the Indenture governing the Notes, maturity payments were made on December 2, 2019.

Amounts borrowed under the DDTL, as well as any amount borrowed under the Credit Facility, mature on December 27, 2023 (the “Maturity Date”). We may repay amounts borrowed under the Credit Facility prior to the Maturity Date without any premium or penalty. Amounts borrowed under the Credit Facility may be accelerated on customary terms following the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default.

The foregoing description of the Credit Facility does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, which was filed as Exhibit 10.22 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 27, 2019 and is incorporated herein by reference.
