Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On February 9, 2023, iBio CDMO LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of iBio, Inc. (the “Company”) and Woodforest National Bank (“Woodforest”) entered into the Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement that was entered into on November 1, 2021, as amended (the “Credit Agreement”), which amendment, among other things, added a milestone that had to be met by a specified date, the failure of which would be an event of default. In addition, on February 9, 2023, the Company, as guarantor, entered into the Second Amendment to the Guaranty, which was executed on November 1, 2021, as amended (the “Guaranty”), which amendment, among other things, allows the Company to account for all amounts owed to it by Fraunhofer USA Inc. (“Fraunhofer”) as part of its legal settlement with them (the “Fraunhofer Settlement Funds”) in determining whether the Company is in compliance with the Liquidity Covenant (as defined in the Credit Agreement, which currently is a requirement that the Company maintain $7,500,000 in unrestricted cash) until a specified period dependent upon the occurrence of a specific milestone in the Credit Agreement.
On February 20, 2023, iBio CDMO LLC entered into the Third Amendment to the Credit Agreement, which removed the added milestone specified in the Second Amendment, the failure of which would be an event of default. In addition, the Guaranty was amended to allow the Company until February 28, 2023, to account for the Fraunhofer Settlement Funds in determining whether the Company is in compliance with the Liquidity Covenant without being dependent upon a specified milestone. In addition, the Company agreed that each time it consummates an at-the-market issuance of Equity Interests (as defined within the Credit Agreement), no later than five (5) days following such issuance of Equity Interests, it will (a) pay to Woodforest in immediately available cash funds, without setoff or counterclaim of any kind, forty percent (40%) of the Net Proceeds (as defined within the Credit Agreement) received by the Company for such issuance of Equity Interests; provided, any such payment would cease upon payment obligations in full and (b) provide Woodforest with a detailed accounting of each such issuance of Equity Interests.
As a result of the payment of $2,1000,00 we received related to the Auction Sale Agreement we entered into on February 10, 2023, with Holland Industrial Group, together with Federal Equipment Company and Capital Recovery Group, LLC, we are currently in compliance with the Liquidity Covenant without including the Fraunhofer Settlement Funds in such calculation. However, based on current estimates, without additional funds, we do not anticipate being in compliance with the covenant on February 28, 2023 if we are unable to include the Fraunhofer Settlement Funds in such calculation. If the Company is unable to increase its unrestricted cash by February 28, 2023, and fails to meet the Liquidity Covenant, it would be in default of the terms of the Credit Agreement and the Guaranty and another amendment to the Credit Agreement and Guaranty may be necessary. The Company and Woodforest continue to be in discussions regarding a potential default and potential amendment to the Credit Agreement to rectify any such default.
