Debt Debt
Paycheck Protection Program

On April 17, 2020, the Company received loan proceeds of approximately $1.8 million (the “PPP Loan”) pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (“the PPP”) under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (the “SBA”).

The PPP Loan is scheduled to mature on April 17, 2022 (the “Maturity Date”), bears interest at a rate of 1.00% per annum, and is subject to the standard terms and conditions applicable to loans administered by the SBA under the CARES Act.

The PPP Loan is evidenced by a promissory note, dated as of April 17, 2020, issued by East West Bank (the “PPP Lender”), which contains customary events of default relating to, among other things, payment defaults and breaches of representations and warranties. Upon an event of default under the PPP Note, the PPP Lender may, among other things, require immediate payment of all amounts owing under the PPP Note or file suit and obtain judgment. Under the terms of the CARES Act, recipients of loans under the PPP can apply for and be granted forgiveness for all or a portion of such loan granted under the PPP. Such forgiveness will be determined, subject to limitations, based on the use of loan proceeds for payment of payroll costs and certain other eligible costs (the “Eligible Costs”). Pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program Flexibility Act (the “PPPFA”), enacted on June 5, 2020, the Company was permitted to use loan proceeds on Eligible Costs through October 2, 2020, or the date that was 24 weeks from the PPP Loan origination date (the “Covered Period”). The Company is continuing to evaluate guidance released by the SBA regarding qualification for forgiveness of the PPP Loan, however, no assurance is provided that forgiveness for any portion of the Company’s PPP Loan will be obtained.

Under the PPPFA, payments of principal and interest due under the PPP Loan are deferred until the date on which the SBA remits the forgiveness amount, if any, back to the PPP Lender, or if forgiveness isn't sought within 10 months after the last day of the Covered Period, until the date that is 10 months from the last day of the Covered Period. The amounts outstanding under the PPP Loan may be prepaid by the Company at any time prior to maturity without penalty.

In order to apply for the PPP Loan, the Company was required to certify, among other things, that the current economic uncertainty made the PPP Loan request necessary to support the Company’s ongoing operations. This certification further
required the Company to take into account the maintenance of its workforce, the Company’s need for additional funding to continue operations, and the Company’s ability to access alternative forms of capital in the current market environment to offset the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

In March 2019, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Innovatus LSA”) by and among Innovatus Life Sciences Lending Fund I, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Innovatus”), as collateral agent and the lenders listed on Schedule 1.1 thereto, including East West Bank. The Innovatus LSA provided a first term loan of $17.5 million, a second term loan of $2.5 million and a third term loan of $5.0 million (collectively, “Term Loans”) if the Company satisfied certain funding conditions. Interest on the Term Loans is due on the first of each month at a rate of 10.25% per annum in cash or a discounted rate of 7.25% in cash with 3.0% of the 10.25% per annum rate added to the principal of the loan and subject to accruing interest through the end of the interest only payment period, which ends March 1, 2022. At inception, the Company elected to pay interest in cash at a rate of 7.25% per annum and have 3.0% per annum of the interest added back to the outstanding principal. As of September 30, 2020, the effective interest rate, including debt issuance costs, for Term Loans was 16.7%. Beginning in April 2022, the Company must make 24 equal monthly payments of principal and interest with a final maturity date in March 2024, which may be earlier due to an event of default if not cured within time specified.
The Innovatus LSA also provides for a revolving line of credit in an amount not to exceed $5.0 million (the “Revolver”). The Company may repay and reborrow amounts under the Revolver at any time prior to the March 1, 2024 maturity date without penalty or premium. The outstanding balance of amounts borrowed under the Revolver bears interest at a rate equal to 2.0% above the prime rate, per annum, as specified in the terms of the Revolver.
The Innovatus LSA is collateralized by substantially all of the Company’s assets, including its intellectual property. The Innovatus LSA requires the Company to comply with various affirmative and negative covenants, including: (1) a liquidity covenant requiring the Company to maintain a minimum cash balance at all times in a collateral account; (2) a revenue covenant requiring the Company to meet certain minimum revenue targets measured at the end of each calendar quarter. The Innovatus LSA also includes standard events of default, including a provision that Innovatus could declare an event of default upon the occurrence of any event that it interprets as having a material adverse change in the Company's business, operations, or condition, a material impairment on the Company's ability to pay the secured obligations under the Innovatus LSA, or upon a material adverse effect on the collateral under the agreement, thereby requiring us to repay the loan immediately, together with a prepayment fee and other applicable fees. As of September 30, 2020, the Company has not received any notification or indication from Innovatus to invoke the material adverse change clause. However, due to the Company’s current cash flow position and the substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern, the entire principal amount of the Term Loans are presented as short-term. The Company will continue to evaluate the debt classification on a quarterly basis and evaluate for reclassification in the future should its financial condition improve.
As of December 31, 2019, the Company did not achieve certain financial covenants under the Innovatus LSA. As a result, in March 2020, the Company and Innovatus entered into an amendment to the Innovatus LSA (the “Second Amendment”) to, among other things: (i) waive the events of default from not achieving the specific financial covenants for the December 31, 2019 measurement date, (ii) require an immediate partial repayment of $2.1 million, (iii) require an additional partial repayment of $2.9 million on the earlier of completion of an Equity Event (as defined in the Second Amendment), or April 30, 2020, (iv) modify the liquidity covenant, such that the Company’s minimum cash balance shall vary based on outstanding borrowing capacity under the Revolver (provided, however, that the Company shall maintain a minimum cash balance of $2 million at any given time), (v) reduce the dollar amount of certain minimum revenue covenants measured as of the end of each
calendar quarter (each, a “Revenue Covenant”) and (vi) modify the terms of certain events of default. For example, the Second Amendment provides for a cure period in connection with the breach of certain minimum revenue financial covenants, as long as the Company submits an updated management plan and financial projections, which are subject to Innovatus approval, and completes a Qualified Financing Event (as defined in the Second Amendment) within 45 days of such breach.
In connection with the Second Amendment, the Company was obligated to pay Innovatus a waiver fee in the amount of  $200,000 and a prepayment fee of $100,000, payable in cash or in shares of the Company’s common stock at the Company's election, no later than following completion of the Equity Event. As described in Note 6 below, the Company completed a follow-on public offering in April 2020 that constituted an Equity Event under the Second Amendment. A portion of the proceeds from the follow-on offering were used to pay-down $2.9 million of principal balance outstanding under the Term Loans in accordance with the Second Amendment. In addition, the Company issued 872,601 shares of its common stock to Innovatus to satisfy the $200,000 waiver fee and $100,000 prepayment fee due under the Second Amendment. Also pursuant to the Second Amendment, the Company subsequently registered such shares for resale on a registration statement on Form S-3 (the “Registration Statement”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 22, 2020 and declared effective on July 7, 2020. We have not and will not receive any of the proceeds from the offering described in the Registration Statement.
In connection with the Merger, the Company and Lineagen entered into a Third Amendment (the “Third Amendment”) to the Innovatus LSA. Among other things, the Third Amendment adds Lineagen as a “Borrower” under the Innovatus LSA and updates certain financial covenants in light of Lineagen becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
For the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Company was not in compliance with their revenue covenant
