Revolving Line of Credit. Amounts advanced under the Revolving Line accrue interest at an annual rate equal to the greater of (a) 6.25% or (b) the Wall Street Journal prime rate plus 3%. The current interest rate is 6.75%. As discussed below under Additional Terms, the interest rate is subject to increase if there is a default under the Loan Agreement. Interest is payable on a monthly basis, with the balance payable at the maturity of the Revolving Line. Under the Loan Agreement, we pay the Lenders a commitment fee of $20,000 on each one-year anniversary of March 13, 2013, the Effective Date, during the term of the Revolving Line. In addition, a fee of 0.5% per annum is payable quarterly on the unused portion of the Revolving Line. The Revolving Line matures on November 1, 2017.

(2)

Term Loan. We received $4.0 million under the Term Loan on the Effective Date. Pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement, as amended, the maturity date of the Loan Agreement was extended until November 1, 2017 and no principal payments on the Term Loan are due until such date. The current interest rate is 9.1%. As discussed below, the interest rate is subject to increase if there is a default under the Loan Agreement.

We will pay the Lenders an additional final payment of $120,000, at maturity or prepayment of the Term Loan, which has been recorded and is reflected in accrued expenses at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016. In addition, if we repay the Term Loan prior to maturity, we will pay the Lenders a prepayment penalty of 1% of the total outstanding balance under the Term Loan.

Additional Terms.

The Loan Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants. Under the Loan Agreement, we agreed not to (i) pledge or otherwise encumber our assets other than to the Lenders, (ii) enter into additional borrowings or guarantees, (iii) repurchase our capital stock, or (iv) enter into certain mergers or acquisitions without the Lenders’ consent. Additionally, the Loan Agreement contains a subjective acceleration clause at the discretion of the Lenders. As of March 31, 2017, we were not in compliance with the Loan Agreement, as amended, due to the fact that events of default existed, including our failure to make certain required monthly interest payments.

To secure the repayment of any amounts borrowed under the Revolving Line and the Term Loan, we granted the Lenders a security interest in all of our assets. The occurrence of an event of default under the Loan Agreement could result in the acceleration of our obligations under the Loan Agreement, would increase the applicable interest rate under the Revolving Line or Term Loan (or both) by 5% and would permit the Lenders to exercise remedies with respect to the collateral under the Loan Agreement. At March 31, 2017, our applicable interest rates have been increased by 5%.

(3) Convertible Promissory Notes. The Notes accrue interest at a rate of 6% per year and matured on December 31, 2016.

Revolving Line and Term Loan.

On March 13, 2013 (the “Effective Date”), we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with affiliates of Third Security, LLC, a related party, (the “Lenders”) for (a) a revolving line of credit (the “Revolving Line”) with borrowing availability of up to $4.0 million, subject to reduction based on our eligible accounts receivable, and (b) a term loan (the “Term Loan” and, together with the Revolving Line, the “Loan Agreement”) of $4.0 million. From the Effective Date through 2015, there were a number of amendments to the Loan Agreement.

On January 6, 2016, we entered into an eighth amendment to the Loan Agreement (the “Eighth Amendment”). The Eighth Amendment, among other things, (a) provided that the Lenders waived specified events of default under the terms of the Loan Agreement, (b) reduced our future minimum revenue covenants under the Loan Agreement, (c) extended the maturity date of the Loan Agreement until November 1, 2017, and (d) provided for the repayment of an overadvance of $750,000 previously provided by the Lenders to us pursuant to the Loan Agreement.

During the first quarter of 2016, the overadvance that existed at December 31, 2015 was repaid to the Lenders and $0.2 million was received from certain of the Lenders and another lender affiliate in connection with the equity offering made on January 6, 2016.

On June 6, 2016, we entered into a ninth amendment to the Loan Agreement (the “Ninth Amendment”). The Ninth Amendment, among other things, (a) provided that the Lenders waived specified events of default under the terms of the Loan Agreement, (b) amended the prepayment terms of the Loan Agreement, (c) provided for the reduction of amounts available under the Revolving Line upon the prepayment or repayment of certain amounts by us, (d) removed the minimum liquidity ratio and minimum net revenue financial covenants applicable to us under the Loan Agreement, (e) amended the circumstances pursuant to which we may engage in certain sales or transfers of our business or property without the consent of the Lenders, and (f) capitalized certain amounts owed by us to the Lenders and added such overdue amounts to the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Line.

On February 2, 2017, we entered into a termination and tenth amendment to the Loan Agreement (the “Tenth Amendment”). The Tenth Amendment, among other things, (i) provides that the Lenders will waive specified events of default under the terms of the Loan Agreement until the effective time of the Merger (or the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms), (ii) provides for the conversion of all outstanding indebtedness owed to the Lenders under the Loan Agreement (the “Outstanding Indebtedness”) into shares of Transgenomic common stock and preferred stock (collectively, the “Conversion Shares”) effective as of the closing date of the Merger and (iii) the termination of the Loan Documents (as defined in the Loan Agreement) and the termination and release of all security interests and liens of the Lenders in the Collateral (as defined in the Loan Agreement) in each case immediately following the conversion of the Outstanding Indebtedness into Conversion Shares.

The effectiveness of certain provisions in the Tenth Amendment, including provisions relating to conversion of the Conversion Shares and termination of the Loan Documents, is conditioned on, among other things, the consummation of the Merger, and, in the event that the Merger is not consummated, these provisions in the Loan Agreement Amendment will terminate.

In connection with the Tenth Amendment, the Lenders have agreed to convert the outstanding principal and accrued interest under the Loan Agreement into (i) approximately 10.4 million shares of New Precipio common stock immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Merger at a price equal to $0.50 per share and (ii) 24.1 million shares of New Precipio preferred stock. As of March 31, 2017, the outstanding amount owed under the Loan Agreement was approximately $7.2 million of principal and $0.8 million of accrued interest. The issuance of the Conversion Shares is subject to the approval of the Transgenomic stockholders in accordance with NASDAQ Capital Market listing rules.

Convertible Promissory Notes.

On December 31, 2014, we entered into an Unsecured Convertible Promissory Note Purchase Agreement (the “Note Purchase Agreement”) with an accredited investor (the “Investor”), pursuant to which we agreed to issue and sell to the Investor in a private placement an unsecured convertible promissory note (the “Initial Note”). We issued the Initial Note in the aggregate principal amount of $750,000 to the Investor on December 31, 2014. Pursuant to the terms of the Initial Note, interest accrued at a rate of 6% per year and the Initial Note was set to mature on December 31, 2016. The Initial Note has been converted in full into 502,786 shares of our common stock, in accordance with the terms of the Initial Note.

On January 15, 2015, we entered into the Note Purchase Agreement with seven accredited investors (the “Additional Investors”) and, on January 20, 2015, issued and sold to the Additional Investors, in a private placement, notes (the “Additional Notes”) in an aggregate principal amount of $925,000. We also issued, to our placement agent for the Notes, a convertible promissory note in an aggregate principal amount equal to 5% of the proceeds received by us, or $46,250 (the “Agent Note”). The Additional Notes and Agent Note have the same terms and conditions as the Initial Note. As of December 31, 2016, $400,000 of the aggregate principal amount of the Additional Notes and Agent Note, and accrued interest thereon, had been converted into an aggregate of 281,023 shares of our common stock.

On the Maturity Date, the then outstanding aggregate amount owed on the Additional Notes and Agent Note of approximately $0.6 million, including accrued interest, became due. Pursuant to the terms of the Initial Note, our failure to pay any principal or interest within 10 days of the date such payment is due will constitute an event of default (the “Prospective Event of Default”).

On January 10, 2017, the Additional Investors and our placement agent executed a waiver of the Prospective Event of Default, pursuant to which, they agreed to waive the Prospective Event of Default on the condition that the Company and the Additional Investors enter into definitive documentation evidencing the terms for an extended maturity date of the Additional Notes and the Agent Note on or before January 16, 2017 (the “Waiver Deadline”).

On January 13, 2017, all but one Additional Investor exercised their conversion rights relating to their respective Additional Notes, including the Agent Note, and converted an aggregate principal amount of $0.4 million, and accrued interest of less than $0.1 million, into 416,135 shares of our common stock. The Waiver Deadline was extended with respect to the remaining Additional Investor who did not exercise conversion rights (the “Non-Converting Investor”) so that the parties could continue to discuss a resolution of the Prospective Event of Default relating to such Non-Converting Investor’s Additional Note with an outstanding principal amount due of $0.1 million.

On January 17, 2017, the Non-Converting Investor agreed to extend the Maturity Date of its Additional Note pursuant to an amendment to the Additional Note (the “Amendment”). The Amendment provides that two-thirds of the outstanding principal amount of the Additional Note must be paid upon the earlier to occur of the close of the Company’s merger with Precipio Diagnostics, LLC or June 16, 2017 (such applicable date, the “Deferred Maturity Date”). The remaining one-third of the principal amount outstanding on the Additional Note must be paid on the six month anniversary of the Deferred Maturity Date (the “Extended Maturity Date”).
