Senior Credit Agreement

On June 19, 2020, the Company entered into the Senior Credit Agreement with Oaktree to borrow up to $225.0 million in five tranches, with a maturity date of June 19, 2026. Three tranches (“Tranche A”, “Tranche B”, and “Tranche D”) of the term loans with an aggregate principal amount of $150.0 million were drawn by the Company in 2020. The last two tranches ("Tranche C" and "Tranche E"), amounting to an aggregate of $75.0 million, were dependent on the approval of oral paclitaxel for the treatment of mBC. Under the Third Amendment on January 19, 2022, the amount of these tranches was reduced to $0 and are no longer available to the Company. The loan bears interest at a fixed annual rate of 11.0%. The Company allocated the proceeds of the drawn tranches between liability and equity components and the fair value of such equity components, along with the direct costs related to the issuance of the debt were recorded as an offset to long-term debt on the consolidated balance sheets. The debt discount and financing fees are amortized on a straight-line basis, which approximates the effective interest method, over the remaining maturity of the Senior Credit Agreement. The effective interest rate of Tranches A, B and D, including the amortization of debt discount and financing fees amounts to 13.3% annually. The Company is required to make quarterly interest-only payments until June 19, 2022, after which the Company is required to make quarterly amortizing payments, with the remaining balance of the principal plus accrued and unpaid interest due at maturity. Beginning on September 17, 2020, the Company was required to pay a commitment fee on any undrawn commitments equal to 0.6% per annum, payable on each subsequent funding date or the commitment termination date. These commitments were terminated pursuant to the Third Amendment.

Under the Third Amendment, the Company was required to make a mandatory prepayment of principal to Oaktree equal to 62.5% of the cash proceeds of the Dunkirk Transaction. The Company was also required to pay (i) accrued and unpaid interest and (ii) a 7.0% fee, allocated as a 2.0% Exit Fee and a 5.0% Prepayment Fee, on the principal amount being repaid. The Company was required to pay Oaktree an amendment fee of $0.3 million and certain related expenses upon the closing of the Dunkirk Transaction. The Third Amendment required the Company to make an additional mandatory prepayment of $12.5 million in principal plus the costs and fees described above by June 14, 2022, of which $5.0 million in principal was paid on June 14, 2022 and $7.5 million was paid on the closing date of the RIPA pursuant to the terms of the Fourth Amendment. Using proceeds from the RIPA, the Company made additional prepayments of principal to Oaktree of $42.5 million. The Company was also required to pay (i) accrued and unpaid interest and (ii) a 5.0% fee, allocated as a 2.0% Exit Fee and a 3.0% Prepayment Fee, on the principal amount being repaid. The Company made payments, inclusive of principal, interest, and fees, to Oaktree in the aggregate amount of $97.6 million pursuant to the Third Amendment, Fourth Amendment, and Fifth Amendment during the six months ended June 30, 2022. Additional prepayments of the loan, in whole or in part, will be subject to early prepayment fee which declines each year until June 2024, after which no prepayment fee is required. Upon the final payment, the Company must also pay an exit fee calculated based on a percentage of the aggregate principal amount of all tranches advanced to the Company, and as of June 30, 2022, the Company has reflected an exit fee liability of $1.2 million. As of June 30, 2022, the Company has classified $23.6 million of the senior secured loan as current portion of long-term debt, comprised of one quarterly payment of $3.1 million and three quarterly payments of $2.8 million each, due within 12 months of June 30, 2022, and $12.0 million expected to be due from funds received in connection with the sale of the China API operations (see Note 4 - Discontinued Operations). The Company has classified $22.1 million of the senior secured loan as long-term debt on the consolidated balance sheet, comprised of the remaining principal due, less debt discount and financing fees of $11.8 million.

The Senior Credit Agreement contains certain representations and warranties, affirmative covenants, negative covenants and conditions that were customarily required for similar financings. The Company is subject to certain financial covenants under the Senior Credit Agreement, including (1) a minimum liquidity amount in cash or permitted cash equivalent investments, which initially was $20.0 million from the closing date until the date on which the aggregate principal amount of loans outstanding is greater than or equal to $150.0 million (the “First Step-Up Date”), $25.0 million from the First Step-Up Date until the date on which the aggregate principal amount of loans outstanding balance is equal to $225.0 million (the “Second Step-Up Date”), and $30.0 million from the Second Step-up Date until the maturity date; (2) minimum revenue no less than 50% of target revenue beginning with the fiscal quarter ended on December 31, 2020 and with respect to each such subsequent fiscal quarter prior to the revenue covenant termination date; (3) leverage ratio covenant not to exceed 4.50 to 1.00 as of the last day of any fiscal quarter beginning with the first fiscal quarter following the revenue covenant termination date. The minimum liquidity amount was decreased to $10.0 million under the Fifth Amendment. The minimum revenue targets were modified in the Fourth Amendment to reflect the Company's current business, and the minimum revenue covenant was similarly modified to require the Company to have minimum revenue of no less than 70% of target revenue at the end of any fiscal quarter in which the leverage ratio exceeds 4.50 to 1.00. As of June 30, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all applicable debt covenants.

Royalty Financing Liability

On June 21, 2022, the Company and the SPV entered into the RIPA with the Purchasers for the sale of revenues from U.S. and European royalty and milestone interests in Klisyri® (tirbanibulin) for an aggregate Purchase Price of $85.0 million. Of the total Purchase Price $5.0 million was placed into escrow to be paid to the Company upon the satisfaction of certain manufacture and supply milestones for Klisyri prior to December 31, 2025, $5.0 million was used to pay for transaction expenses, $52.5 million was used to pay down the Company's Senior Credit Agreement with Oaktree, and $7.5 million in segregated funds was deposited and held in a segregated account of the Company. Subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, the Segregated Funds will either be distributed to the Company as a cash payment or distributed to the Lenders to pay down the Company’s existing indebtedness under the Credit Agreement. The remaining proceeds were available for the Company's operations.

In connection with this transaction, the Company formed the SPV and contributed its interest in the License Agreement with Almirall S.A. relating to Klisyri and certain related assets to the SPV. Oaktree and Sagard each own a 10% equity interest in the SPV. Pursuant to the RIPA, the SPV sold its right to the cash received in respect of certain royalties and certain milestone interests under the License Agreement to the Purchasers. The SPV retained the right to receive 50% of certain of the milestone interests under the License Agreement, equal to $155.0 million in the aggregate if those milestones are achieved, and 50% of the royalties paid under the License Agreement for sales of Klisyri once net sales of Klisyri exceed a certain dollar amount.

The Company has evaluated the terms of the RIPA and concluded that the features of the transaction, namely the Company's significant involvement in the cash flows due to the Purchasers, are similar to those of a debt instrument. The Company received funds of $75.0 million, net of transaction costs of $5.0 million, during June 30, 2022, and the Company recorded such amount as long-term debt as of June 30, 2022. This purchase price of this transaction reflected its fair value. The $5.0 million which is held in escrow represents a loan commitment which the Company may be entitled to in the event that certain manufacturing and supply milestones are met.

The Company amortizes the royalty financing liability using the effective interest rate method over the estimated life of the revenue streams. The Company recognizes interest expense thereon using the effective rate, which is based on its current estimates of future revenues over the life of the arrangement. The Company periodically assesses its expected revenues using internal projections, imputes interest on the carrying value of the deferred royalty obligation, and records interest expense using the imputed effective interest rate. To the extent its estimates of future revenues are greater or less than previous estimates or the estimated timing of such payments is materially different than previous estimates, the Company will account for any such changes by adjusting the effective interest rate on a prospective basis, with a corresponding impact to the reclassification of the deferred royalty obligation. The assumptions used in determining the expected repayment term of the royalty financing liability and amortization period of the issuance costs require that the Company makes significant estimates that could impact the short-term and long-term classification of the royalty financing liability, interest recorded on such liability, as well as the period over which such costs will be amortized. The Company's estimated royalty cash flows extend through 2035 and imply an effective annual interest rate of 28.6%. Changes to these estimates may have a material effect on the Company's financial statements. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company received Klisyri royalties of $0.5 million, which were remitted to the Purchasers.

Gain/Loss on Extinguishment of Debt

The Company considered the combined effect of the RIPA and the Fourth and Fifth Amendment to the Senior Credit Agreement, both of which are held with Sagard and Oaktree under ASC 470. The Company performed a cash flow test on a lender-by-lender basis and concluded that these transactions represented an extinguishment of debt. The Company extinguished the previous balance of its Senior Credit Agreement commensurate with the prepayments under the Fourth and Fifth Amendments and recorded the surviving debt at its fair value. To determine the fair value of the remaining debt, the Company utilized an estimate of its incremental borrowing rate. As of June 30, 2022, the Company's incremental borrowing rate was 20.57%, which was utilized as the effective interest rate of the balance outstanding on the Senior Credit Agreement. Accordingly, the Company recorded a liability of $45.7 million, net of debt discount of $11.8 million. The extinguishment of debt and recording the surviving debt at its fair value resulted in a gain on extinguishment of debt of of $2.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022.

Credit Agreements, Bank Loan and Mortgage

During the second quarter of 2019, the Company entered into a credit agreement which amended the existing partnership agreement with Chongqing Maliu Riverside Development and Investment Co., LTD (“CQ”), for a Renminbi ¥50.0 million (USD $7.5 million at June 30, 2022) line of credit to be used for the construction of the new API plant in China. The Company is required to repay the principal amount with accrued interest within three years after the plant receives the cGMP certification, with 20% of the total loan with accrued interest due within the first twelve months following receiving the certification, 30% of the total loan with accrued interest due within twenty-four months, and the remaining balance with accrued interest due within thirty-six months. Interest accrues at the three-year loan interest rate by the People’s Bank of China for the same period on the date of the deposit of the full loan amount, which is expected to approximate 4.75% annually. If the Company fails to obtain the cGMP certification within three years upon the acceptance of the plant, it shall return all renovation costs with the accrued interest to CQ in a single transaction within the first ten business days. As of June 30, 2022, the balance due to CQ was $7.5 million, which was included within long-term liabilities attributable to discontinued operations on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet.

On May 15, 2020, the Company entered into a credit agreement with China Merchants Bank, enabling the Company to draw up to Renminbi ¥5.0 million (USD $0.8 million at June 30, 2022) through May 14, 2021. The Company drew the entire available credit in July 2020 and repaid the credit agreement in full on May 14, 2021. On May 28, 2021, the Company entered into a credit agreement on the same terms as that which was repaid, and withdrew the full Renminbi ¥5.0 million (USD $0.8 million at June 30, 2022) on that date. This loan had a maturity date of May 28, 2022 and was paid in full during the three months ended June 30, 2022. This repayment is included within net cash used in financing activities of discontinued operations on the Company's condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.

On January 5, 2021, Chongqing Sintaho Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd. (“CQ Sintaho”), a subsidiary of the Company in China, entered into a lease agreement with Chongqing International Biological City Development & Investment Co., Ltd (“CQ D&I”). Under the lease agreement, the provisions of which are consistent with those agreed upon in the 2015 Agreement, CQ Sintaho leased the newly constructed API facility, or Sintaho API Facility, of 34,517 square meters rent-free, for the first 10-year term, with an option to extend the lease for an additional 10-year term, during which, if CQ Sintaho is profitable, it will pay a monthly rent of 5 RMB per square meter of space occupied. The Company determined the lease commenced in the first quarter of 2021, as it was operational and CQ Sintaho could direct the use of the facility. The Company also evaluated the probability of exercising the renewal and purchase options, and determined that it is not reasonably certain whether it will exercise those options. Therefore, the lease term is comprised only of the rent-free period and the recognition of the right-of-use asset and liability did not have a significant effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. This lease is expected to be assumed by the China API Buyer, refer to Note 19 - Subsequent Events for additional information.

The Company exercises judgment in determining the discount rate used to measure the lease liabilities. When rates are not implicit within an operating lease, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as its discount rate, which is based on yield trends in the biotechnology and healthcare industry and debt instruments held by the Company with stated interest rates. The Company re-assesses its incremental borrowing rate when new leases arise, or existing leases are modified.
