NOTE 8 – DEBT

On May 1, 2018, we entered into a Credit and Security Agreement, or the Credit Agreement, with MidCap Financial Trust, or MidCap, as agent, or Agent, and as lender, and the additional lenders party thereto from time to time (together with MidCap as a lender, the Lenders).

On July 30, 2018, we entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Credit Agreement in order to permit our entry into the Council License Agreement. Pursuant to the amendment, we were required to receive aggregate net cash proceeds of at least $75,000,000 from the issuance of our equity securities within thirty days of entering into the Council License Agreement, which we did in connection with the August 2018 underwritten public offering.

The Credit Agreement provides a secured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $200,000,000, or the Term Loan. Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Term Loan will be made in three separate tranches, with each tranche to be made available to us, at our option, upon our achievement of certain milestones. The first tranche of $75,000,000, or Tranche 1, was drawn by us on June 7, 2018, following approval by the FDA of the NDA for IMVEXXY®. The second tranche of $75,000,000, or Tranche 2, may be drawn by us on or before May 31, 2019, provided that we satisfy certain conditions described in the Credit Agreement, including (i) that Tranche 1 has been drawn, (ii) the approval by the FDA of the NDA for BIJUVA^TM and (iii) we have consummated our first commercial sale in the United States of BIJUVA^TM. The third tranche of $50,000,000, or Tranche 3, may be drawn by us on or before December 31, 2019, provided that we satisfy certain conditions described in the Credit Agreement, including that (i) Tranche 2 has been drawn and (ii) we have generated at least $75,000,000 of consolidated net revenue attributable to commercial sales of BIJUVA^TM and IMVEXXY® during the twelve-month period ending immediately prior to the funding of Tranche 3.

Amounts borrowed under the Term Loan bear interest at a rate equal to the sum of (i) one-month LIBOR (subject to a LIBOR floor of 1.50%) plus (ii) 7.75% per annum. Interest on amounts borrowed under the Term Loan is due and payable monthly in arrears. Principal on each Tranche is payable in 36 equal monthly installments beginning May 1, 2020 until paid in full on May 1, 2023, or the Maturity Date. However, if we generate at least $95,000,000 of consolidated net revenue attributable to commercial sales of BIJUVA^TM and IMVEXXY® by December 31, 2019, we may extend the interest-only period by an additional 12 months to May 1, 2021. Interest expense related to this Term Loan for the year ended December 31, 2018 was $4,407,975. 

The Term Loan may be prepaid, in whole or in part, subject to a prepayment fee on the amount being prepaid (or required to be prepaid, if such amount is greater) of (i) 4.0% for the first year following the Tranche 1 funding date, (ii) 3.0% for the second year following the Tranche 1 funding date and (iii) 2.0% thereafter. Upon repayment of the Term Loan at the Maturity Date or prepayment on any earlier date, we will be required to pay a termination payment based on the principal amount paid or prepaid. In connection with the execution of the Credit Agreement, we paid the Agent, for the benefit of all Lenders, an origination fee equal to 1.00% of the maximum potential amount of the Term Loan. We are also required to pay the Agent an annual administration fee of 0.25% based on the amounts borrowed under the Term Loan, in addition to other fees and expenses.

Our obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured, subject to customary permitted liens and other agreed upon exceptions, by a first priority perfected security interest in all of our existing and after-acquired assets. Our obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by each of our future direct and indirect subsidiaries (other than certain non-U.S. subsidiaries of ours and certain U.S. subsidiaries substantially all of whose assets consist of equity interests in non-U.S. subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions). The Credit Agreement contains customary restrictions and covenants. Among other requirements, we must (i) maintain a minimum cash balance of $50,000,000 and (ii) achieve certain minimum consolidated net revenue amounts attributable to commercial sales of our products. As of December 31, 2018, we were in compliance with the covenants under the Credit Agreement.

The Credit Agreement also contains customary covenants that limit, among other things, our ability to (i) incur indebtedness, (ii) incur liens on our property, (iii) pay dividends or make other distributions, (iv) sell our assets, (v) make certain loans or investments, (vi) merge or consolidate, (vii) voluntarily repay or prepay certain permitted indebtedness and (viii) enter into transactions with affiliates, in each case subject to certain exceptions. The Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and events of default relating to, among other things, payment defaults, breaches of covenants, the occurrence of any fact, event or circumstance that could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Credit Agreement), delisting of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share, or Common Stock, bankruptcy and insolvency, cross defaults with certain material indebtedness and certain material contracts, judgments and inaccuracies of representations and warranties. Upon or after an event of default, the agent and the Lenders may declare all or a portion of our obligations under the Credit Agreement to be immediately due and payable and exercise other rights and remedies provided for under the Credit Agreement.

As of December 31, 2018, we had $75,000,000 in borrowings outstanding under the Term Loan, which are classified as long-term debt in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. We incurred $3,786,918 in debt issuance costs related to the Term Loan. Debt financing fees related to the entire Term Loan have been allocated pro rata between the funded and unfunded portions of each tranche. Allocated debt financing fees related to Tranche 1 of $1,888,844 have been reclassified to debt discount and are accreted to interest expense using the effective interest method. Debt financing fees associated with unfunded tranches are deferred as assets until Tranche 2 and Tranche 3 milestones have been met. As of December 31, 2018, deferred financing fees related to Tranche 2 and Tranche 3 are included in other current assets in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. During the year ended December 31, 2018, we amortized $269,859, of debt issuance costs related to Tranche 1 as interest expense in our accompanying consolidated financial statements. The overall effective interest rate was approximately 11% as of December 31, 2018. As of December 31, 2018, the carrying value of debt consists of the following:
