Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On April 10, 2020, we made a prepayment of $4.8 million under our amended and restated loan and security agreement with Oxford Finance LLC and Silicon Valley Bank, our Lenders, as amended, or Loan Agreement, which amount was used to prepay (i) the remaining outstanding principal of the term loans under the Loan Agreement, or Term Loans, of $4.4 million, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, (ii) the remaining final payment with respect to the Term Loans and (iii) all outstanding Lenders’ expenses as of the date of such prepayment. In connection with our prepayment, the Loan Agreement was terminated and the Lenders consented to the release of all liens under the Loan Agreement on our assets, including intellectual property. Balances under the Loan Agreement accrued interest at the prime rate plus 3.75%, subject to a floor of 8.50%.  The Term Loans were set to mature in December 2022 with interest only payments through January 1, 2020 followed by 36 monthly payments of principal and interest. The Loan Agreement contained customary conditions of borrowing, events of default and covenants, including covenants that restricted our ability to dispose of assets, merge with or acquire other entities, incur indebtedness and make distributions to holders of our capital stock. If an event of default would have occurred, including the occurrence of a material adverse change, we would have been liable for immediate repayment of all obligations under the Loan Agreement.
