Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On October 23, 2008 Advanced Life Sciences, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an amendment to the business loan agreement (the “Amended Loan Agreement”) with Leaders Bank that restructured the Company’s existing $4.0 million business loan agreement with Leaders Bank to increase the line of credit to $10.0 million and extend the maturity date of the loan for 12 months.
In connection with the Amended Loan Agreement, on October 23, 2008, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Promissory Note (the “Amended Promissory Note”) with Leaders Bank. The Amended Promissory Note provides for the $10.0 million revolving line of credit at an interest rate of 8.5% per annum. The Company’s obligations under the Amended Promissory Note are payable in full on January 1, 2011 and are secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets, except that the collateral specifically excludes any rights that the Company may have a result of its license agreement with Abbott Laboratories for cethromycin. The Amended Loan Agreement provides certain customary representations, warranties and covenants for a transaction of this type, as well as a covenant limiting the use of the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement, or SEDA, with YA Global Investments, L.P to $9,000,000 without Leaders Bank’s consent.
As a closing fee, the Company also issued to Leaders Bank warrants for the purchase of 65,000 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $1 per share.
