Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On January 7, 2021, Interpace Biosciences, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into promissory notes with Ampersand 2018 Limited Partnership (“Ampersand”), in the amount of $3 million (the “Ampersand Note”), and 1315 Capital II, L.P. (“1315 Capital”), in the amount of $2 million, (the “1315 Capital Note”), respectively (together, the “Notes”), and a related security agreement (the “Security Agreement”). On May 10, 2021, the Company amended the Ampersand Note to increase the principal amount to $4.5 million, and amended the 1315 Capital Note to increase the principal amount to $3.0 million. The maturity dates of the Notes were the earlier of (a) June 30, 2021 and (b) the date on which all amounts become due upon the occurrence of any event of default as defined in the Notes.
On June 24, 2021, the Company and Ampersand amended the Ampersand Note to change its maturity date to the earlier of (a) August 31, 2021 and (b) the date on which all amounts become due upon the occurrence of any event of default as defined in the Ampersand Note. On June 25, 2021, the Company and 1315 Capital amended the 1315 Capital Note to change its maturity date in a similar manner.
On August 31, 2021, the Company and Ampersand amended the Ampersand Note to change its maturity date to the earlier of (a) September 30, 2021 and (b) the date on which all amounts become due upon the occurrence of any event of default as defined in the Ampersand Note. On August 31, 2021, the Company and 1315 Capital amended the 1315 Capital Note to change its maturity date in a similar manner.
On September 29, 2021, the Company and Ampersand amended the Ampersand Note to change its maturity date to the earlier of (a) October 31, 2021 and (b) the date on which all amounts become due upon the occurrence of any event of default as defined in the Ampersand Note. On September 29, 2021, the Company and 1315 Capital amended the 1315 Capital Note to change its maturity date in a similar manner. Except with respect to their respective maturity dates, the terms of the Notes are otherwise unchanged. The Security Agreement remains in full force and effect, and was not amended in connection with the amendments to the Notes.
Ampersand holds 28,000 shares of the Company’s Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series B”), which are convertible from time to time into an aggregate of 4,666,666 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, and 1315 Capital holds 19,000 shares of the Company’s Series B, which are convertible from time to time into an aggregate of 3,166,668 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. On an as-converted basis, such shares would represent approximately 39% and 26% of our fully-diluted shares of Common Stock, respectively. As a result, the Company considers the September 29, 2021 amendments to the Notes to be related party transactions.
