| Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On March 2, 2020, Neuronetics, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a loan and security agreement with Solar Capital Ltd. (“Solar”), as collateral agent, and the lenders listed on Schedule 1.1 thereto, for a credit facility (the “Solar Facility”) that replaced the Company’s previous $35.0 million credit facility with Oxford Finance LLC (“Oxford”, and such facility, the “Oxford Facility”).
The Solar Facility permits the Company to borrow up to an aggregate amount of $50.0 million in two tranches of term loans, a “Term A Loan” and “Term B Loan.” On March 2, 2020, the Company borrowed an aggregate amount of $35.0 million, which was the aggregate amount available under the Term A Loan portion of the Solar Facility. The Term A Loan portion of the Solar Facility matures, and all amounts borrowed thereunder are due, on February 28, 2025. Under the Term B Loan portion of the Solar Facility, the Company is permitted to borrow, at its election, up to an aggregate amount of $15.0 million, (i) upon the Company achieving a specified amount of trailing twelve months net product revenue, and (ii) assuming there has been no event of default under the Solar Facility prior to such election. Once the net product revenue condition has been satisfied, the Company may only make an election to borrow under the Term B Loan portion of the Solar Facility until the earlier of (a) December 15, 2021, (b) 30 days following achievement of the net product revenue condition or (c) the occurrence of an event of default.
Each of the Term A Loan and Term B Loan accrue interest from the date of borrowing through the date of repayment at a floating per annum rate of interest, which resets monthly and is equal to the greater of (a) 1.66% or (b) the rate per annum rate published by the Intercontinental Exchange Benchmark Administration Ltd. for a term of one month plus 7.65%. The Term A Loan and the Term B Loan both include an interest-only period through March 1, 2022, after which time the Company will be required to make monthly payments of principal and interest. Monthly principal payments are to be paid in equal amounts on a pro rata basis to lenders. At the Company’s election, the interest only period may be extended through February 2023 if the Company satisfies a minimum net product revenue covenant through March 1, 2022 and no event of default shall have occurred.
In addition to the principal and interest payments due under the Solar Facility, the Company is required to pay a final payment fee to Solar due upon the earlier of prepayment, acceleration or the maturity date of the Term A Loan or Term B Loan portion of the Solar Facility equal to 5.50% of the principal amount of the term loans actually funded. If the Company prepays either the of the Term A Loan or Term B Loan prior to their respective scheduled maturities, the Company will also be required to pay prepayment fees to Solar equal to 3% of the principal amount of such term loan then-prepaid if prepaid on or before the first anniversary of funding, 2% of the principal amount of such term loan then-prepaid if prepaid after the first anniversary and on or before the second anniversary of funding, or 1% of the principal amount of such term loan then-prepaid if prepaid after the second anniversary of funding of the principal amounts borrowed.
The Company is also required to pay Solar an exit fee upon the occurrence, prior to March 2, 2030, of (a) any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, (b) transaction that results in a person obtaining control over the Company, (c) the Company achieving $100 million in trailing twelve month net product revenue or (d) the Company achieving $125 million in trailing twelve month net product revenue. The exit fee for liquidation, dissolution, winding up or change of control of the Company is equal to 4.50% of the principal amount of the term loans actually funded. The exit fee for achieving either $100 million or $125 million in trailing twelve month net product revenue is equal to 2.25% of the principal amount of the term loans actually funded or, if both net product revenue milestones are achieved, 4.50% of the principal amount of the term loans actually funded. The exit fee is capped at 4.50% of the principal amount of the term loans actually funded.
The Company’s obligations under the credit facility are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of its assets, including its intellectual property. The loan and security agreement requires the Company to comply with certain financial covenants as well as customary affirmative and negative covenants.
The loan and security agreement related to the credit facility contains events of default, including, without limitation, events of default upon: (i) failure to make payment pursuant to the terms of the agreement; (ii) violation of covenants; (iii) material adverse changes to the Company’s business; (iv) attachment or levy on the Company’s
