Debt | 10 . Debt The following is a summary of our convertible senior notes at December 31, 2020 and 2019 (principal amount in thousands): Principal Amount Principal Amount December 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 Interest Rate Due Date 2021 Notes $ 64,418 $ 97,188 2.50% September 15, 2021 2024 Notes (2019 Issuance) 85,782 263,000 4.50% August 1, 2024 2024 Notes (2020 Issuance) 57,500 — 4.50% August 1, 2024 2025 Notes 300,000 300,000 1.25% May 1, 2025 Total $ 507,700 $ 660,188 2021 Notes In September 2014, we completed a private placement of $287.5 million aggregate principal amount of 2.5% convertible senior notes due 2021 (the “2021 Notes”) resulting in net proceeds of $278.3 million after deducting offering expenses. In accordance with the accounting guidance, the conversion feature did not meet the criteria for bifurcation, and the entire principal amount was recorded as a long-term liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The 2021 Notes are governed by the terms of the indenture between the Company, as issuer, and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee. The 2021 Notes are senior unsecured obligations and bear interest at a rate of 2.5% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears on March 15 September 15 Holders may convert all or any portion of the 2021 Notes at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the maturity date. Upon conversion, the holders will receive shares of our common stock at an initial conversion rate of 16.1616 shares per $1,000 in principal amount of 2021 Notes, equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $61.88 per share. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events described in the indenture. In addition, following certain corporate events that occur prior to the maturity date or upon our issuance of a notice of redemption, we will increase the conversion rate for holders who elect to convert the 2021 Notes in connection with such a corporate event or during the related redemption period in certain circumstances. On or after September 15, 2018, we may redeem the 2021 Notes, at our option, in whole or in part, if the last reported sale price of our common stock has been at least 150% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period ending not more than two trading days preceding the date on which we provide written notice of redemption at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2021 Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. No sinking fund is provided for the 2021 Notes. If we undergo a fundamental change, as defined in the indenture, prior to the maturity date of the 2021 Notes, holders may require us to repurchase for cash all or any portion of the 2021 Notes at a fundamental change repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2021 Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date. The 2021 Notes rank senior in right of payment to any of our indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the 2021 Notes; equal in right of payment to all of our liabilities that are not so subordinated; effectively junior in right of payment to any secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness; and structurally junior to all indebtedness and other liabilities (including trade payables) of our subsidiaries. In connection with the issuance of the 2021 Notes, we incurred $9.2 million of debt issuance costs, of which $2.0 million of unamortized debt issuance costs were derecognized in connection with the repurchase of the 2021 Notes. The remaining debt issuance costs are presented as a deduction from the convertible senior notes on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are amortized as interest expense over the expected life of the 2021 Notes using the effective interest method. We determined the expected life of the debt was equal to the seven-year term of the 2021 Notes. In August 2019, we entered into privately negotiated transactions with a limited number of holders to repurchase $190.3 million aggregate principal amount of our outstanding 2021 Notes for an aggregate repurchase price of $171.8 million, including accrued interest. This repurchase resulted in the recognition of $18.5 million gain on extinguishment of debt. In April 2020, we entered into a privately negotiated exchange agreement with a holder (“Holder”) of our 2021 Notes, pursuant to which we issued to such Holder of the 2021 Notes approximately $36.1 million in aggregate principal amount of our currently outstanding 2024 Notes (2019 Issuance) in exchange for approximately $32.8 million in aggregate principal of 2021 Notes held by such Holder (the “Exchange Transaction”), which resulted in a $3.3 million loss on extinguishment of debt. We did not receive any cash proceeds from the Exchange Transaction. 2024 Notes (2019 Issuance) In August 2019, we completed a private placement to qualified institutional buyers of $263.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.50% convertible senior notes due 2024 (the “2024 Notes (2019 Issuance)”) resulting in net proceeds of $254.9 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses. In accordance with the accounting guidance, the conversion feature did not meet the criteria for bifurcation, and the entire principal amount was recorded as a long-term liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The 2024 Notes (2019 Issuance) are governed by the terms of the indenture between the Company, as issuer, and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee. The 2024 Notes (2019 Issuance) are senior unsecured obligations and bear interest at a rate of 4.50% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears on February 1 August 1 Holders may convert all or any portion of the 2024 Notes (2019 Issuance) at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the maturity date. Upon conversion, the holders will receive shares of our common stock at an initial conversion rate of 137.2213 shares per $1,000 in principal amount of 2024 Notes (2019 Issuance), equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $7.29 per share. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events described in the indenture. In addition, following certain corporate events that occur prior to the maturity date or upon our issuance of a notice of redemption, we will increase the conversion rate for holders who elect to convert the 2024 Notes (2019 Issuance) in connection with such a corporate event or during the related redemption period in certain circumstances. We will not have the right to redeem the 2024 Notes (2019 Issuance) prior to their maturity. If we undergo a fundamental change, as defined in the indenture, prior to the maturity date of the 2024 Notes (2019 Issuance), holders may require us to repurchase for cash all or any portion of the 2024 Notes (2019 Issuance) at a fundamental change repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2024 Notes (2019 Issuance) to be repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date. No sinking fund is provided for the 2024 Notes (2019 Issuance). The 2024 Notes (2019 Issuance) rank senior in right of payment to any of our indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the 2024 Notes (2019 Issuance); equal in right of payment to all of our liabilities that are not so subordinated, including the 2021 Notes and 2025 Notes; effectively junior in right of payment to any secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness, including our borrowing under the Sixth Street financing agreement; and structurally junior to all indebtedness and other liabilities (including trade payables) of our subsidiaries. In connection with the issuance of the 2024 Notes (2019 Issuance), we incurred $8.0 million of debt issuance costs. The debt issuance costs are presented as a deduction from the convertible senior notes on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are amortized as interest expense over the expected life of the 2024 Notes (2019 Issuance) using the effective interest method. We determined the expected life of the debt was equal to the five-year term of the 2024 Notes (2019 Issuance). In January 2020, we completed a registered direct offering of an aggregate 17,777,679 shares of our common stock at a price of $9.25 per share to a limited number of holders of our 2024 Notes (2019 Issuance). We used the proceeds of the share offering to repurchase from such holders an aggregate of $123.4 million principal amount of 2024 Notes (2019 Issue) in privately negotiated transactions. In addition, we paid customary fees and expenses in connection with the transactions. As a result, $3.6 million of unamortized debt issuance costs were derecognized and we recognized a $7.8 million loss on the transactions. In April 2020, we completed the Exchange Transaction discussed in the 2021 Notes section above. The additional 2024 Notes (2019 Issuance) issued in the Exchange Transaction were issued as additional notes under that certain Indenture, dated as of August 13, 2019 (the “Indenture”), by and between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee, and have substantially identical terms to our currently outstanding 2024 Notes (2019 Issuance), except that the additional 2024 Notes (2019 Issuance) will accrue interest from February 1, 2020 and the initial interest payment date on the additional 2024 Notes (2019 Issuance) was August 1, 2020. The Holder paid to the Company accrued interest on the additional 2024 Notes (2019 Issue) from February 1, 2020 to and including April 20, 2020. The additional 2024 Notes (2019 Issuance) will be treated as a single series of securities with the currently outstanding 2024 Notes (2019 Issuance). In April and May 2020, approximately $24.3 million in principal amount of 2024 Notes (2019 Issuance) were converted into 3,331,870 shares of our common stock at the conversion rate of 137.2213 shares per $1,000 in principal amount of 2024 Notes (2019 Issuance). In November 2020, we entered into a privately negotiated exchange and purchase agreement with a holder of our 2024 Notes (2019 Issuance). Pursuant to the agreement, in exchange for approximately $64.8 million aggregate principal amount of 2024 Notes (2019 Issuance) held by the holder, we agreed to issue to the holder a number shares of our common stock (the “Exchanged Shares”) utilizing an exchange ratio that is based in part on the daily volume-weighted average prices (“VWAPs”) per share of our common stock during a seven-day pricing period following execution of the agreement. In addition, pursuant to the agreement, we sold to the holder $57.5 million aggregate principal amount of a new series of 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2024 (the “2024 Notes (2020 Issuance)”) at a purchase price of The number of Exchanged Shares was calculated utilizing an exchange ratio that is based in part on the average VWAPs of our common stock (subject to a floor) during a seven-day pricing period beginning on November 5, 2020 and ending on, and including, November 13, 2020. In November 2020, we issued 2024 Notes (2020 Issuance) The 2024 Notes (2020 Issuance) are governed by the terms of the indenture between the Company, as issuer, and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee.

Upon conversion, the holders will receive shares of our common stock at an initial conversion rate of 160.3334 shares per $1,000 in principal amount of 2024 Notes (2020 Issuance), equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $6.24 per share. The initial conversion price represents a premium of approximately 10% to the last reported sale price of $5.67 per share on November 4, 2020. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events described in the indenture. In addition, following certain corporate events that occur prior to the maturity date or upon our issuance of a notice of redemption, we will increase the conversion rate for holders who elect to convert the 2024 Notes (2020 Issuance) in connection with such a corporate event or during the related redemption period in certain circumstances. We will not have the right to redeem the 2024 Notes (2020 Issuance) prior to their maturity. If we undergo a fundamental change, as defined in the indenture, prior to the maturity date of the 2024 Notes (2020 Issuance), holders may require us to repurchase for cash all or any portion of the 2024 Notes (2020 Issuance) at a fundamental change repurchase price equal to accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date.

In connection with the issuance of the 2024 Notes (2020 Issuance), we incurred $0.9 million of debt issuance costs. The debt issuance costs are presented as a deduction from the convertible senior notes on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are amortized as interest expense over the expected life of the 2024 Notes (2020 Issuance) using the effective interest method. We determined the expected life of the debt was equal to the four-year term of the 2024 Notes (2020 Issuance). 2025 Notes In April 2018, we completed an underwritten public offering of $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of 1.25% convertible senior notes due 2025 (the “2025 Notes”) resulting in net proceeds of $290.9 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses.

On or after May 2, 2022, we may redeem the 2025 Notes, at our option, in whole or in part, if the last reported sale price of our common stock has been at least 150% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period ending not more than two trading days preceding the date on which we provide written notice of redemption at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2025 Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date.

Maturities of our convertible notes consisted of the following as of December 31, 2020 (in thousands): 2021 $ 64,418 2022 — 2023 — 2024 143,282 2025 300,000 Thereafter — 507,700 Less debt issuance costs (8,656) Current portion (64,198) Long-term portion $ 434,846 Sixth Street Financing Agreement On May 1, 2019, we entered into a financing agreement (the “Financing Agreement”) with certain affiliates of Sixth Street Partners, LLC (“Sixth Street”) in which we plan to borrow from Sixth Street amounts required to reimburse our actual costs and expenses incurred during each fiscal quarter (limited to agreed budgeted amounts), as such expenses are incurred, related to the ATHENA clinical trial, in an aggregate amount of up to $175 million (the amount actually borrowed, the “Borrowed Amount”). ATHENA is our largest clinical trial, with a planned target enrollment of 1,000 patients across more than 270 sites in at least 25 countries. The Clovis-sponsored phase 3 ATHENA study in advanced ovarian cancer is the first-line maintenance treatment setting evaluating Rubraca plus nivolumab (PD-1 inhibitor), Rubraca, nivolumab and a placebo in newly-diagnosed patients who have completed platinum-based chemotherapy. This study initiated in the second quarter of 2018 and completed enrollment during the second quarter of 2020. We incur borrowings under the Financing Agreement on a quarterly basis, beginning with such expenses incurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2019 and ending generally on the earliest to occur of (i) the termination of the ATHENA Trial, (ii) the date of completion of all activities under the ATHENA Trial Clinical Study Protocol, (iii) the date on which we pay the Discharge Amount (as defined in the Financing Agreement), (iv) the date of the occurrence of a change of control of us (or a sale of all or substantially all of our assets related to Rubraca) or our receipt of notice of certain breaches by us of our obligations under material in-license agreements related to Rubraca and (v) September 30, 2022. We are obligated to repay on a quarterly basis, beginning on the earliest to occur of (i) the termination of the ATHENA Trial, (ii) the approval by the FDA of an update to the label portion of the Rubraca new drug application (“NDA”) to include in such label the treatment of an indication resulting from the ATHENA Trial, (iii) the date on which we determine that the results of the ATHENA Trial are insufficient to achieve such an expansion of the Rubraca label to cover an indication based on the ATHENA Trial and (iv) September 30, 2022 (the “Repayment Start Date”). ● 9.75% (which rate may be increased incrementally up to approximately 10.25% in the event the Borrowed Amount exceeds $166.5 million) of the direct Rubraca net sales recorded by us and our subsidiaries worldwide and our future out-licensees in the United States, if any, during such quarter; ● 19.5% of any royalty payments received by us and our subsidiaries during such quarter based on the sales of Rubraca by our future out-licensees outside the United States, if any; and ● 19.5% of any other amounts received by us and our subsidiaries in connection with any other commercialization arrangement for Rubraca, including any upfront and milestone payments and proceeds of infringement claims (which payments are not subject to the caps described below). Quarterly payments are capped at $8.5 million, unless the label portion of the Rubraca NDA is expanded by the FDA to include such label the treatment of an indication resulting from the ATHENA Trial, in which case the quarterly payment is capped at $13.5 million. In the event the aggregate Borrowed Amount exceeds $166.5 million, such quarterly limits will be incrementally increased to a maximum of approximately $8.94 million and $14.19 million, respectively. The maximum amount required to be repaid under the agreement is two times the aggregate Borrowed Amount, which may be $350 million in the event we borrow the full $175 million under the Financing Agreement. In the event we have not made payments on or before December 30, 2025 equal to at least the Borrowed Amount, we are required to make a lump sum payment in an amount equal to such Borrowed Amount less the aggregate of all prior quarterly payments described above. All other payments are contingent on the performance of Rubraca. There is no final maturity date on the Financing Agreement. Our obligations under the Financing Agreement are secured under a Pledge and Security agreement by a first priority security interest in all of our assets related to Rubraca, including intellectual property rights and a pledge of the equity of our wholly owned subsidiaries, Clovis Oncology UK Limited and Clovis Oncology Ireland Limited. In addition, the obligations are guaranteed by Clovis Oncology UK Limited and Clovis Oncology Ireland Limited, secured by a first priority security interest in all the assets of those subsidiaries. Pursuant to the Financing Agreement, we have agreed to certain limitations on our operations, including limitations on making certain restricted junior payments, including payment of dividends, limitation on liens and certain limitations on the ability of our non-guarantor subsidiaries to own certain assets related to Rubraca and to incur indebtedness. We may terminate the Financing Agreement at any time by paying the lenders an amount (the “Discharge Amount”) equal to the sum of (a) (A) the greater of (x) the Borrowed Amount plus (i) if such date is during calendar year 2019, $35.0 million or (ii) if such date is during calendar year 2020 or thereafter, $50.0 million and (y) (i) if such date is prior to the Repayment Start Date, 1.75 times the Borrowed Amount or (ii) if such date is after the Repayment Start Date, 2.00 times the Borrowed Amount minus (B) the aggregate amount of all quarterly payments previously paid to the lenders plus (b) all other obligations which have accrued but which have not been paid under the loan documents, including expense reimbursement. In the event of (i) a change of control of us, we must pay the Discharge Amount to the lenders and (ii) an event of default under the Financing Agreement (which includes, among other events, breaches or defaults under or terminations of our material in-license agreements related to Rubraca and defaults under our other material indebtedness), the lenders have the right to declare the Discharge Amount to be immediately due and payable. For the year ended December 31, 2020, we recorded $110.9 million as a long-term liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and future quarterly draws will be recorded as a long-term liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. In connection with the transaction, we incurred $1.8 million of debt issuance costs. The debt issuance costs are presented as a deduction from the Sixth Street financing liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are amortized as interest expense over the expected life of the Financing Agreement using the straight-line method. As of December 31, 2020, the balance of unamortized debt issuance costs was $1.5 million. For the year ended December 31, 2020, we used an effective interest rate of 14.6%. For subsequent periods, we will use the prospective method whereby a new effective interest rate is determined based on the revised estimate of remaining cash flows. The new rate is the discount rate that equates the present value of the revised estimate of remaining cash flows with the carrying amount of the debt, and it will be used to recognize interest expense for the remaining periods. Under this method, the effective interest rate is not constant, and any change in expected cash flows is recognized prospectively as an adjustment to the effective yield. Expected maturities of our Financing Agreement consisted of the following as of December 31, 2020 (in thousands): 2021 $ — 2022 8,934 2023 41,091 2024 45,532 2025 16,820 Thereafter — 112,377 Less debt issuance costs (1,460) Current portion — Long-term portion $ 110,917 The following table sets forth total interest expense recognized during the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 (in thousands): Year ended December 31, 2020 2019 2018 Interest on convertible notes $ 11,934 $ 13,680 $ 9,812 Amortization of debt issuance costs 2,672 2,858 2,178 Debt issuance cost derecognized related to convertible debt transactions 4,345 — — Interest on finance lease 816 759 — Interest on borrowings under ATHENA financing agreement 10,624 1,997 — Accretion of interest on milestone liability — — 977 Interest on capital lease liability — — 216 Other interest 117 111 — Total interest expense $ 30,508 $ 19,405 $ 13,183 |
