Long-Term Debt | 6. Lo ng-Term Debt On November 2, 2022, we entered into a loan and security agreement, or Loan Agreement, with several banks and other financial institutions or entities party thereto, or collectively Lenders, and Hercules Capital, Inc., or Hercules, in its capacity as adminis trative agent and collateral agent for itself and the Lenders, or in such capacity, Agent. Under the terms of the Loan Agreement, we borrowed $ 10.0 million of an initial $ 25.0 million tranche of term loans, or the Tranche 1 Loan, and we may, at our sole discretion, borrow the remaining $ 15.0 million in respect of the Tranche 1 Loan at any time until September 15, 2023 . Thereafter, we may borrow (i) additional tranches of term loans in the amounts of up to $ 35.0 million, or the Tranche 2 Loan, and $ 40.0 million, or the Tranche 3 Loan, respectively, which will become available to us upon our satisfaction of certain terms and conditions set forth in the Loan Agreement, and (ii) a final tranche of term loans in the amount of up to $ 25.0 million, or the Tranche 4 Loan, subject to the Lenders’ investment committee approval in its sole discretion. All of the Term Loans have a maturity date of November 2, 2027 , or the Maturity Date. Repayment of the Term Loans is interest only through (a) initially, November 1, 2024 , (b) if we satisfy the Interest Only Milestone 1 Conditions (as defined in the Loan Agreement), May 1, 2025 , (c) if we satisfy the Interest Only Milestone 2 Conditions (as defined in the Loan Agreement), November 1, 2025 , and (d) if we satisfy the Approval Milestone (as defined in the Loan Agreement), November 1, 2026 . After the interest-only payment period, borrowings under the Loan Agreement are repayable in equal monthly payments of principal and accrued interest until the Maturity Date. The per annum interest rate for the Term Loans is the greater of (i) the prime rate as reported in The Wall Street Journal minus 6.25% plus 8.65% and (ii) 8.65%. As of December 31, 2022, the interest rate on the Term Loans w as 9.90 %. At our option, we may prepay all or any portion of the outstanding Term Loans at any time. Prepayments made on or prior to the third anniversary of the date of the Loan Agreement will be subject to a prepayment fee equal to 1.50 % of the principal amount being prepaid. In addition, we paid a $ 0.1 million facility charge upon closing and will pay additional facility charges in connection with any borrowing of the Tranche 2 Loan, Tranche 3 Loan or Tranche 4 Loan, in each case in the amount of 0.50 % of the amount of such tranche of loans. The Loan Agreement also provides for an end of term fee in an amount equal to the greater of approximately (i) $ 1.5 million (which is 6.05 % of the maximum amount of the first tranche of loans) or (ii) 6.05 % of the aggregate principal amount of loan advances actually made under the Loan Agreement, which fee is due and payable on the earliest to occur of (i) the Maturity Date, (ii) the date we prepay the outstanding loans in full, and (iii) the date that the secured obligations become due and payable. Our obligations under the Loan Agreement are secured by substantially all of our assets other than our intellectual property, but including proceeds from the sale, licensing or other disposition of our intellectual property. As part of the Loan Agreement, we are subject to certain negative covenants, which, among other things, prohibit us from selling, transferring, assigning, mortgaging, pledging, leasing, granting a security interest in or otherwise encumbering our intellectual property, subject to limited exceptions. The Loan Agreement also contains a minimum cash covenant, commencing on June 1, 2024, requiring us to hold cash in the United States and subject to a first-priority perfected security interest in favor of the Lenders in an amount greater than or equal to (x) 55.0% of the outstanding loan obligations if we have not received FDA approval for ziftomenib, or (y) 35.0% of the outstanding loan obligations if we have received FDA approval for ziftomenib, provided that neither (x) nor (y) will apply at any time our market capitalization is equal to or greater than $ 1,250.0 million. Additionally, the Loan Agreement contains minimum cash requirements in the event of (i) any Corporate Collaborations (as defined in the Loan Agreement) or (ii) any cash payment in respect of permitted convertible debt subject to the satisfaction of the Redemption Conditions (as defined in the Loan Agreement). In addition, the Loan Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and customary affirmative and negative covenants, including, among other things, restrictions on indebtedness, liens, investments, mergers, dispositions, prepayment of other indebtedness, and dividends and other distributions, subject to certain exceptions. The Loan Agreement also contains events of default that are customary for financings of this type relating to, among other things, payment defaults, breach of covenants, material adverse effects, breach of representations and warranties, cross-default to material indebtedness, bankruptcy-related defaults, judgment defaults, breach of the financial covenants described above, and the occurrence of certain change of control events. Following an event of default and any applicable cure period, a default interest rate equal to the then-applicable interest rate plus 5.0 % may be applied to the outstanding principal balance, and the Lenders will have the right upon notice to terminate any undrawn commitments and may accelerate all amounts outstanding under the Loan Agreement, in addition to other remedies available to them as our secured c reditors. We were in compliance with all covenants of the Loan Agreement as of December 31, 2022. In addition, in connection with the entry into the Loan Agreement, we issued warrants to certain of the Lenders, or collectively, the Warrants, to purchase up to 26,078 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $ 14.38 per share, or the Warrant Shares. The Warrants may be exercised through the earlier of (i) the seventh anniversary of November 2, 2022 and (ii) the consummation of certain acquisition transactions involving us, as set forth in the Warrants. The number of Warrant Shares for which the Warrants are exercisable and the associated exercise price are subject to certain customary proportional adjustments for fundamental events, including stock splits and reverse stock splits, as set forth in the Warrants. If we make additional draws on the Tranche 2 Loan, Tranche 3 Loan or Tranche 4 Loan, upon the funding of such additional tranches, the Warrants shall become exercisable for an additional aggregate number of shares of our common stock equal to 1.50 % of each drawn amount divided by the exercise price of $ 14.38 per share. The initial tranche 1 borrowing of $ 10.0 million and the warrants issued upon closing to purchase 26,078 shares of our common stock are accounted for as freestanding debt and equity financial instruments, respectively, as they are legally detachable and separately exercisable. The additional borrowings available under the Tranche 1 Loan, Tranche 2 Loan, Tranche 3 Loan and Tranche 4 Loan plus the additional warrants to purchase shares of our common stock, which would be issued concurrently, are accounted for as a single freestanding financial instrument that are not assets or obligations of ours; this financial instrument meets the loan commitment derivative scope exception and will be accounted for when and if we borrow additional tranches in the future. In connection with the Loan Agreement, we recognized the initial 26,078 issued warrants at their relative fair value of approximately $ 0.3 million, and we incurred debt issuance costs of $ 0.6 million, which were recorded as debt discounts. The fair value of the warrants, debt issuance costs and end of term fee are being amortized and accreted into interest expense using the effective interest rate method over the term of the loan. The following table summarizes maturities of principal obligation payments under the term loan facility as of December 31, 2022, in thousands: Years Ending December 31, 2024 $ 464 2025 2,953 2026 3,263 2027 3,320 Total principal outstanding 10,000 Less: unamortized discounts ( 842 ) Long-term debt, net $ 9,158 In November 2018, we entered into a loan and security agreement with Silicon Valley Bank, or the SVB Loan Agreement, providing for up to $ 20.0 million in a series of term loans. Upon entering into the SVB Loan Agreement, we borrowed $ 7.5 million, or the SVB Term Loan. The SVB Term Loan had a scheduled maturity date of May 1, 2023 . In May 2021, we paid $ 6.6 million to repay all amounts owed under the SVB Term Loan, which included a final payment of $ 0.6 million, representing 7.75 % of the SVB Term Loan which was being accrued through interest expense using the effective interest method, and a prepayment fee of $ 30,000 . In accordance with ASC 470-50, Debt Modifications and Extinguishments, we accounted for the transaction as an extinguishment of debt. Accordingly, we recorded a loss of approximately $ 0.2 million, which is included in interest expense on the statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2021. |
