On July 31, 2017, the Company entered into an Amendment Letter Agreement (the “Amendment”) with Roche Finance Ltd (“Roche Finance”), amending the Credit Facility Agreement, dated August 2, 2016, between the Company and Roche (the “Existing Credit Facility” and, as amended, the “Roche Credit Facility”).

The Amendment amends certain provisions of the Existing Credit Facility to provide for an extension of the period during which the Company may borrow funds from three to four years, ending August 2, 2020 (the “Draw Period”), and an increase in the available funds from $100 million to $200 million, of which $80 million was made available immediately and $120 million was made available upon the achievement of certain milestones. Pursuant to the Amendment, loans made under the Roche Credit Facility will bear interest at 6.5% per annum, as compared to 5% under the Existing Credit Facility. The Company shall pay Roche quarterly during the Draw Period and for six months thereafter accrued interest on the outstanding principal of the loans. Beginning six months after the Draw Period and for five years thereafter, the Company shall pay Roche quarterly equal payments of principal, with accrued interest, in arrears until maturity of the Roche Credit Facility on February 2, 2026 (the “Final Maturity Date”). The Company shall also pay Roche a quarterly commitment fee of 0.4% per annum on the available commitment until the end of the Draw Period, as compared to 0.3% under the Existing Credit Facility. The other provisions of the Existing Credit Facility remain substantially unchanged. The proceeds from the Roche Credit Facility are intended to be used for R&D and commercialization, corporate development, and working capital management.   

The Roche Credit Facility is secured by a lien on all of the Company’s tangible and intangible personal property, including, but not limited to, shares of its subsidiaries (65% of the equity interests in the case of foreign subsidiaries), intellectual property, insurance, trade and intercompany receivables, inventory and equipment, and contract rights, and all proceeds and services thereof (other than certain excluded assets).

The Roche Credit Facility contains certain affirmative covenants, including, among others, obligations for the Company to provide monthly and annual financial statements, to meet specified minimum cash requirements, to provide tax gross-up and indemnification protection, and to comply with laws. The Roche Credit Facility also contains certain negative covenants, including, among others, restrictions on the Company’s ability to dispose of certain assets, to acquire another company or business, to encumber or permit liens on certain assets, to incur additional indebtedness (subject to customary exceptions), and to pay dividends on the Company’s common stock. The Company was in compliance with its covenants under the Roche Credit Facility as of June 30, 2018.

The Roche Credit Facility contains customary events of default, including, among others, defaults due to non-payment, bankruptcy, failure to comply with covenants, breaches of representations and warranties, a change of control, a material adverse effect and judgment defaults. Upon the occurrence and continuation of an event of default following applicable notice and cure periods, amounts due under the Roche Credit Facility may be accelerated. The Company had no events of default under the Roche Credit Facility as of June 30, 2018.

As of June 30, 2018, the Company had $110 million in borrowings outstanding and $90 million of unused and available credit under the Roche Credit Facility. Interest expense was $1.7 million and $2.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, and $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively.
