On March 29, 2023, Neuronetics, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into that certain Fourth Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement (the “Amendment”) with SLR Investment Corp. (formerly known as Solar Capital Ltd.) (“Solar”), as collateral agent, and the lenders listed on the signature pages thereto (the “Lenders”). The Amendment amends that certain Loan and Security Agreement, dated March 2, 2020 (as amended by that certain First Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of April 20, 2020, that certain Second Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of December 2, 2020, that certain Third Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of February 15, 2022 and as further amended, restated, supplemented or modified from time to time prior to the Amendment, the “Solar Facility”), by and among the Company, Solar, as collateral agent, and the Lenders.
The Solar Facility permits the Company to borrow up to $60.0 million in three tranches of term loans, a “Term A Loan” in an aggregate amount of $35.0 million, a “Term B Loan” (collectively with the Term A Loan, the “Loans”) in an aggregate amount of $2.5 million, and an uncommitted “Term C Facility” in an aggregate principal amount equal to $22.5 million in the sole and absolute discretion of the Lenders and subject to the Lenders’ credit approval. On March 29, 2023, the Company borrowed an aggregate amount of $2.5 million under the Term B Loan portion of the Solar Facility. The Term A Loan portion of the Solar Facility was fully drawn prior to the effectiveness of the Amendment. The maturity date of the Loans is March 29, 2028. Prior to the effectiveness of the Amendment, the maturity date of the Term A Loan was February 28, 2025.
The Loans 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) 3.95% or (b) Daily Simple SOFR for a term of one month, plus 5.65%. Only interest is required to be paid on the Loans until March 1, 2026. Prior to the effectiveness of the Amendment, the interest only period with respect to the Term A Loan expired on March 1, 2023. After March 1, 2026, the Company will be required to make monthly payments of principal and interest on the Loans.
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 Loans equal to 4.95% of the principal amount of the term loans actually funded. If the Company prepays the Loans 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 the Amendment, 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 the Amendment, or 1% of the principal amount of such term loan then-prepaid if prepaid after the second anniversary of the Amendment.
The Company is also required to pay Solar an exit fee upon the occurrence of (a) any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, (b) any 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 2.00% 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 1.00% of the principal amount of the term loans actually funded or, if both net product revenue milestones are achieved, 2.00% of the principal amount of the term loans actually funded. The exit fee is capped at 2.00% of the principal amount of the term loans actually funded.
In connection with the Amendment, the Company and Solar agreed to amend the existing exit fee agreement that was entered into in connection with initial closing of the Solar Facility. In the case of a liquidation, the fee payable by the Company to the Lenders on a pro rata basis is equal to $1,575,000. If the Company achieves certain sales milestones, the fee payable to the Lenders is equal to $787,500. The maximum fee payable in connection with the existing exit fee agreement is $1,575,000.
