Hercules Loan Facility

(6) Hercules Loan Facility

On May 28, 2010, the Company entered into a loan and security agreement (the “First Loan Agreement”) with Hercules Capital Inc. and certain of its affiliates (“Hercules”). The First Loan Agreement was subsequently amended in March 2012, September 2014, May 2016 and amended and restated in December 2017 (the “2017 Loan Agreement”).

On August 7, 2020, the Company entered into a first amendment to the 2017 Loan Agreement (the “2020 Loan Amendment”) to provide the Company, subject to certain terms and conditions, with an additional term loan in an aggregate principal amount of up to $35.0 million (the “2020 Loan Facility”) in up to four tranches to be used to refinance outstanding loans under the 2017 Loan Agreement, and for general working capital purposes.

The Company received the initial $15.0 million of the 2020 Loan Facility upon the closing of the 2020 Loan Amendment, of which approximately $9.7 million was used to retire the then outstanding balance under the 2017 Loan Agreement and of which approximately $5.3 million was new loan funding which was used for general working capital purposes.

The remainder of the loan amount will be available to the Company, at its option, subject to certain terms and conditions, including upon the achievement of the following milestones: (i) the second tranche of $10.0 million (“Tranche Two”) would be available through June 30, 2021 upon achieving FDA approval of FOTIVDA (“Performance Milestone I”), (ii) the third tranche of $5.0 million (“Tranche Three”)  would be available from July 1, 2021 through January 31, 2022 assuming the Company achieves $20.0 million in net product revenues from sales of FOTIVDA, by no later than December 31, 2021 (“Performance Milestone II”), and (iii) the fourth tranche of $5.0 million would be available through June 30, 2022 contingent upon the achievement of both Performance Milestone I and Performance Milestone II, and subject to the consent of Hercules.

The 2020 Loan Amendment also amended the 2017 Loan Agreement by: (i) extending maturity until September 1, 2023, which is extendable to September 1, 2024 at the Company’s option assuming the Tranche Three funding has occurred, (ii) providing for an interest-only period beginning on the closing date of 2020 Loan Amendment and ending on September 30, 2021, which period may be extended through September 30, 2022 provided the Company achieved Performance Milestone I and further extendable through March 31, 2023 after the Tranche Three funding has occurred, if at all, and (iii) revising the per annum interest rate to the greater of (x) 9.65% and (y) an amount equal to 9.65% plus the prime rate as reported in the Wall Street Journal minus 3.25% as determined daily, provided however, that the per annum interest rate shall not exceed 15%. Principal payments are scheduled to commence on October 1, 2021, at the earliest, as described above. The interest rate as of March 31, 2021 was 9.65%.

Per the terms of the 2020 Loan Facility, principal will be repaid in equal monthly installments following the conclusion of the interest-only period. The Company may prepay all of the outstanding principal and accrued interest under the 2020 Loan Facility, subject to a prepayment charge up to 3.0% in the first year following the closing of the 2020 Loan Amendment, decreasing to 2.0% in year two and 1.0% in year three. The Company is obligated to make an end-of-term payment of 6.95% of the aggregate amount of loan funding received under the 2020 Loan Facility on the earlier of the maturity of the loan or the date on which the Company prepays any outstanding loan balance. The approximate $0.8 million end-of-term payment under the 2017 Loan Agreement continues to be due on July 1, 2021. In connection with the 2020 Loan Amendment, the Company incurred approximately $0.3 million in loan issuance costs paid directly to Hercules, which are accounted for as a loan discount. The 2020 Loan Amendment was accounted for as a loan modification in accordance with ASC 470-50.

The 2020 Loan Facility includes various financial and operating covenants, including that the Company maintain an unrestricted cash position of at least $10.0 million through the date the Third Tranche funding is received and at least $5.0 million thereafter through the maturity of the loan. The Company is also required to achieve greater than or equal to 75% of its forecasted net product revenues from its sales of tivozanib over a 6-month trailing period, as defined and measured on a monthly basis, effective upon the Third Tranche funding and continuing through the maturity of the loan. The net product revenue covenant will not apply at any time the Third Tranche funding has not been provided nor such advance has been prepaid in full.

On February 1, 2021, the Company entered into the second amendment to the 2017 Loan Agreement (the “2021 Loan Amendment”), which increases the 2020 Loan Facility from up to $35.0 million to up to $45.0 million following FDA approval of FOTIVDA. The 2021 Loan Amendment makes certain changes to the 2020 Loan Amendment, including, among other things, (i) increasing Tranche Two funding upon achieving Performance Milestone I from $10.0 million to $20.0 million, thereby increasing the total amount of unfunded term loan commitments under the 2020 Loan Facility from $20.0 million to $30.0 million, (ii) increasing the amount of net product revenues from sales of FOTIVDA required to achieve Performance Milestone II from $20.0 million to $35.0 million and changing the deadline for achieving Performance Milestone II from December 31, 2021 to April 1, 2022 and (iii) increasing the amount of the financial covenant for the maintenance of an unrestricted cash position from at least $10.0 million to at least $15.0 million from the date the Tranche Two funding is received until the date the Tranche Three funding is received and at least

$10.0 million thereafter through the maturity of the Loan Agreement. In connection with the 2021 Loan Amendment, the Company incurred approximately $0.1 million in loan issuance costs paid directly to Hercules, which are accounted for as a loan discount.

On March 11, 2021, the Company completed the $20.0 million drawdown of Tranche Two funding under the 2021 Loan Amendment that was made available in connection with the achievement of Performance Milestone I upon FDA approval of FOTIVDA on March 10, 2021. The achievement of Performance Milestone I extended the interest-only period by twelve months from September 30, 2021 to September 30, 2022 and increased the amount of unrestricted cash required for the Company to satisfy the minimum financial covenant during the period between receiving Tranche Two funding and Tranche Three funding from $10.0 million to $15.0 million.

As of March 31, 2021, the total principal balance was $35.0 million, principal payments are scheduled to commence on October 1, 2022 and the corresponding end-of-term payments under the 2020 Loan Facility, in the aggregate amount of approximately $2.4 million, are due upon the current loan maturity date of September 1, 2023. The unamortized discount to be recognized over the remainder of the loan period was approximately $2.6 million and $1.2 million as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Per the 2017 Loan Agreement, the end-of-term payment of approximately $0.8 million continues to be due on July 1, 2021.

The 2020 Loan Facility is secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets, excluding intellectual property. The 2020 Loan Facility provides that certain events shall constitute a default by the Company, including failure by the Company to pay amounts under the 2020 Loan Amendment when due; breach or default in the performance of any covenant under the 2020 Loan Amendment by the Company, subject to certain cure periods; insolvency of the Company and certain other bankruptcy proceedings involving the Company; default by the Company of obligations involving indebtedness in excess of $500,000; and the occurrence of an event or circumstance that would have a material adverse effect upon the business of the Company. As of March 31, 2021, the Company was in compliance with all loan covenants, Hercules has not asserted any events of default and the Company does not believe that there has been a material adverse effect as defined in the 2020 Loan Amendment.

The Company has determined that the risk of subjective acceleration under the material adverse events clause is remote and therefore has classified the outstanding principal as a long-term liability based on the timing of scheduled principal payments.
