(A) NovaQuest

In October 2017, the Company, its subsidiaries, as guarantors, and NovaQuest Capital Management (“NovaQuest”) entered into (i) a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “NovaQuest Securities Purchase Agreement”) and (ii) an Equity Purchase Agreement (the “NovaQuest Equity Purchase Agreement”). Pursuant to the NovaQuest Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company issued $60.0 million aggregate principal amount of notes, of which $6.0 million was issued in October 2017 and $54.0 million was issued in December 2018. Concurrent with each purchase of notes, NovaQuest was obligated to purchase up to $20.0 million of the Company’s common shares on a pro rata basis, subject to certain terms and conditions. With the issuance of $6.0 million aggregate principal amount of notes in October 2017, NovaQuest purchased 138,361 common shares for $2.0 million, and with the issuance of $54.0 million aggregate principal amount of notes in December 2018, NovaQuest purchased 1,082,977 common shares for $18.0 million. The equity purchase price for each such purchase was equal to 105% of the average of the volume-weighted average price for the five consecutive trading days immediately prior to the relevant purchase date. Pursuant to the NovaQuest Equity Purchase Agreement, NovaQuest committed to purchase an additional $20.0 million of the Company’s common shares from time to time at the Company’s discretion. In December 2018, the Company exercised this option and issued and sold 1,203,307 common shares for $20.0 million. The purchase price for the common shares issued was equal to 105% of the average of the volume-weighted average price for the five consecutive trading days immediately prior to the relevant purchase date.

The notes bore interest at a rate of 15% per annum, of which 5% was payable quarterly, and 10% was payable on a deferred basis on the earlier of the Amortization Date (as defined below) and the repayment in full of the notes. The scheduled maturity of the notes was October 16, 2023. The Company was required to amortize the principal amount of the notes in equal quarterly installments commencing on November 1, 2021 (the “Amortization Date”) provided certain terms and conditions were met. Early redemption of the notes was subject to a redemption charge. The Company’s obligations under the NovaQuest Securities Purchase Agreement were secured by a second-lien security interest in substantially all of the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ respective assets (other than intellectual property). The NovaQuest Securities Purchase Agreement included customary affirmative and restrictive covenants and representations and warranties, including a minimum cash covenant that applied commencing on the Amortization Date, and also included customary events of default and a default interest rate of an additional 5% applied to the outstanding note balance.

The Company repaid all of its obligations to NovaQuest on December 31, 2019 including $60.0 million of principal repayment of the notes, accrued and unpaid interest of $7.6 million, and an early redemption fee of $2.4 million.

(B) Hercules

In October 2017, the Company, its subsidiaries, as guarantors, and Hercules Capital, Inc. (“Hercules”) entered into a Loan Agreement (the “Hercules Loan Agreement”), which provided up to $40.0 million principal amount of term loans (the “Term Loans”). A first tranche of $25.0 million principal amount was funded upon execution of the Hercules Loan Agreement in October 2017 and the remaining $15.0 million principal amount was funded in March 2018.

The Term Loans bore interest at a variable per annum rate at the greater of (i) the prime rate plus 4% and (ii) 8.25%. The scheduled maturity date of the Term Loans was November 1, 2021. The Company was obligated to make monthly interest payments during the Interest-only Period (through June 1, 2020), subject to certain terms and conditions, followed by monthly installments of principal and interest through the maturity date. Prepayment of the Term Loans was subject to a prepayment charge and the Company was also obligated to pay an end of term charge of 6.55% of the principal amount of the Term Loans funded under the Hercules Loan Agreement. The Company’s obligations under the Hercules Loan Agreement were secured by a first lien security interest in substantially all of the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ respective assets (other than intellectual property). The Hercules Loan Agreement included customary affirmative and restrictive covenants and representations and warranties.

Concurrent with each funding of the Term Loans, the Company was required to issue to Hercules a warrant (the “Warrants”) to purchase a number of its common shares equal to 3% of the principal amount of the relevant Term Loan funded divided by the exercise price, which was based on the lowest three-day volume-weighted average price for the three consecutive trading days prior to the funding date for such Term Loan. The Warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis and are immediately exercisable through the seventh anniversary of the applicable funding date. In connection with the first tranche funded under the Hercules Loan Agreement, the Company issued a Warrant to Hercules exercisable for an aggregate of 49,800 of its common shares at an exercise price of $15.06 per common share. Concurrent with the funding of the second tranche, the Company issued a Warrant to Hercules exercisable for an aggregate of 23,910 of its common shares at an exercise price of $18.82 per common share. The total 73,710 warrants issued to Hercules were outstanding as of March 31, 2020 and 2019.

The Company repaid all of its obligations to Hercules on December 31, 2019, including $40.0 million of principal repayment of the Term Loans, accrued and unpaid interest of $0.3 million, a prepayment penalty of $0.4 million, and an end of term charge of $2.6 million.

On December 27, 2019, the Company and its subsidiary, Myovant Sciences GmbH (“MSG”), entered into the Sumitomo Dainippon Pharma Loan Agreement, which is further discussed in Note 7(A). On December 30, 2019, the Company borrowed an initial amount of $113.7 million under the Sumitomo Dainippon Pharma Loan Agreement, the proceeds of which were used to repay all outstanding obligations under the NovaQuest Securities Purchase Agreement and the Hercules Loan Agreement and to satisfy certain other fees and expenses. The repayments resulted in a loss on extinguishment of debt of $4.9 million, which is included under the caption, loss on extinguishment of debt, in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations for the year ended March 31, 2020. The loss on extinguishment of debt was calculated as the difference between the carrying amount of the debt and the amounts paid to retire the debt.
