Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
As previously disclosed, on February 10, 2020, Agile Therapeutics, Inc., (the “Company”) entered into a Credit Agreement and Guaranty with Perceptive Credit Holdings III, LP, a related party (“Perceptive”), for a senior secured term loan credit facility of up to $35.0 million (as amended from time to time, the “Perceptive Credit Agreement”).
On February 9, 2024, the Company and Perceptive entered into an eighth amendment to the Perceptive Credit Agreement (the “Eighth Amendment”). The Eighth Amendment extends the maturity date of the Perceptive Credit Agreement from February 10, 2024 until March 11, 2024 (the “Maturity Date”). As previously disclosed, beginning on December 1, 2023, the Company has been making monthly payments of $150,000 on the outstanding loan balance. Such payments will continue until the Maturity Date, at which time all remaining principal amount outstanding is due.
The foregoing description of the Eighth Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Eighth Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 2.02.Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On February 15, 2024, the Company issued a press release disclosing its preliminary expectations for the net revenue and operating expenses (“OPEX”) for the year ended December 31, 2023 and receipt of the Second Extension Notice (as defined and further discussed in Item 8.01 of this Form 8-K). The Company expects net revenue for the 12 months ended December 31, 2023 to be in the range of $20 to $21 million. The Company also expects OPEX for the 12 months ended December 31, 2023 to be in the range of $30 to $31.5 million compared to $56.6 million for the full year ended December 31, 2022. Management has recommended to the Board of Directors of the Company that the Company not pay performance bonuses for the 2023 fiscal year. As a result, the Company plans to reverse an accrual of approximately $2.1 million.
The Company is furnishing a copy of the press release, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 Because the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 have not yet been finalized, these preliminary statements regarding the Company’s net revenue and OPEX are subject to change, and the Company’s actual net revenue and OPEX may differ materially from these preliminary estimates. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on these preliminary estimates.
In accordance with General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information included in this Item 2.02, including Exhibit 99.1 hereto, shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing made by the Company under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
