Note 6 – Financing Transactions

 

On March 30, 2012, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with General Electric Capital Corporation (“GE Capital”), as lender and agent for other lenders that may subsequently become party to the agreement. The Loan Agreement provides for a senior secured debt facility including a $2.5 million term loan and a revolving line of credit of up to $5 million based on our outstanding qualified accounts receivable.  On March 30, 2012, the term loan was funded for an aggregate amount of $2.5 million. As of September 30, 2012 approximately $1.2 million was outstanding under the revolving line of credit, which is recorded as short term debt on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. Under the terms of the Loan Agreement, the Company may draw down from the revolving line of credit up to 85% of qualified billed accounts receivable and 80% of qualified unbilled accounts receivable. As of September 30, 2012, approximately $1.3 million was available under the Loan Agreement to borrow against the revolving line of credit.

 

 

The fixed interest rate on the term loan is 10.14% per annum. The revolving line of credit has an adjustable interest rate based upon the 3-month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), with a floor of 1.5%, plus 5%. As of September 30, 2012, this interest rate was 6.5%.  Both the term loan and the revolving line of credit mature in September 2015.  Payments on the term loan are interest-only for the first 10 months, which may be extended to 12 months if certain conditions described in the Loan Agreement are met. Subsequently, the term loan will fully amortize over its remaining term. Principal payments on the term loan are scheduled as follows: 

 

    Principal
Year   Payments
  2012   $ -
  2013   909,096
  2014   909,096
  2015      681,808
      $ 2,500,000

 

If we prepay the term loan and terminate the revolving line of credit prior to the scheduled maturity date, we are obligated to pay a prepayment premium equal to 3% of the then outstanding principal amount of the term loan during the first two years of the loan and 2% during the third year and thereafter.  In addition we are obligated to pay a final payment fee of 3% of the term loan balance. The final payment fee will be accrued and expensed over the term of the agreement, using the effective interest method.

 

Our obligations under the Loan Agreement are collateralized by a security interest in substantially all of our assets including cash, receivables and property and equipment. While the security interest does not, except in limited circumstances, cover our intellectual property, it does cover any proceeds received by us from the use or sale of our intellectual property.

 

The Loan Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants, including limitations on acquisitions, dispositions, incurrence of indebtedness and the granting of security interests. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Loan Agreement were made only for purposes of such agreement and as of a specific date or specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement, and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures exchanged between the parties in connection with the execution of the Loan Agreement.

 

The Loan Agreement contains certain financial and non-financial covenants. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any event of default, GE Capital may, and at the written request of the requisite lenders shall, terminate the commitments under the facilities and declare any or all of the obligations to be immediately due and payable, without demand or notice to us; however, any event of default relating to timely payment of debts, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy or similar events will result in automatic acceleration. Among the remedies available to GE Capital in case of an event of default are the taking possession and disposition of any collateral under the Loan Agreement.

 

In connection with the Loan Agreement, we issued GE Capital warrants to purchase 46,584 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $1.61 per share, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. The warrants are classified as equity. The fair value of the warrants at March 30, 2012 of $69,876 was recorded as a discount to the carrying value of the debt and is being amortized through interest expense over the term of the loan.

 

 

Also, in connection with us entering into the Loan Agreement, we incurred approximately $216,000 of related expenses. These expenses are deferred and are being amortized to interest expense over the term of the Loan Agreement.

 

In June 2011, PharmAthene entered into an agreement with certain accredited investors who purchased an aggregate of 1,857,143 shares of common stock for a purchase price of $3.50 per share and warrants to purchase up to an additional 371,423 shares of common stock. The warrants became exercisable immediately at an exercise price of $3.50 per share and are exercisable until the fifth anniversary of the date of issuance, which is June 15, 2016. The warrants are classified as derivative liabilities. The Company received gross proceeds of approximately $6.5 million and net proceeds of approximately $5.8 million.
