Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
AuraGen Aesthetics, LLC
On December 31, 2021, Sientra, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Sientra”), entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with AuraGen Aesthetics LLC (“AuraGen”) pursuant to which Sientra purchased substantially all of the assets of AuraGen relating to its fat grafting technology, including the AuraGen 1-2-3™ with AuraClens™ system. The total consideration paid by Sientra to AuraGen (the “Closing Consideration”) consists of (i) $1,000,000 in cash at the closing (the “Initial Cash Consideration”), (ii) $3,000,000 in cash on the first annual anniversary of the Purchase Agreement (the “Anniversary Cash Consideration”), and (iii) an aggregate total of 3,930,655 shares of Sientra’s Common Stock (the “Sientra Shares”) issued at closing. In addition to the Closing Consideration, Sientra shall pay additional contingent consideration of up to $8.5 million (the “Milestone Payments” and “Earnout Shares” and, together with the Closing Consideration, the “Asset Purchase Consideration”) to AuraGen based on the achievement of certain clinical endpoints following the completion of the Study (as defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement). The Milestone Payments may be payable in cash, stock or a combination of both at the election of Sientra, with the Earnout Shares payable in stock or cash at the election of AuraGen.
In addition to Asset Purchase Consideration, as consideration for the sale, assignment, transfer and delivery of the Purchased Assets, Sientra also shall assume and discharge certain liabilities of AuraGen. The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and indemnification provisions.
The above description of the Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
The representations, warranties, and covenants contained in the Purchase Agreement have been made solely for the purposes of the Purchase Agreement and as of specific dates; were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Purchase Agreement; are not intended as statements of fact to be relied upon by the parties’ stockholders or other security holders, but rather as a way of allocating the risk between the parties in the event the statements therein prove to be inaccurate; have been modified or qualified by certain confidential disclosures that were made between the parties in connection with the negotiation of the Purchase Agreement, which disclosures are not reflected in the Purchase Agreement itself; may no longer be true as of a given date; and may apply standards of materiality in a way that is different from what may be viewed as material by stockholders or other security holders. Except as specifically set forth in the Purchase Agreement, security holders are not third-party beneficiaries under the Purchase Agreement and should not rely on the representations, warranties, and covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of any actual state of facts or of the condition of Sientra. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of the Purchase Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in Sientra’s public disclosures. Sientra acknowledges that, notwithstanding the inclusion of the foregoing cautionary statements, it is responsible for considering whether additional specific disclosures of material information regarding material contractual provisions are required to make the statements of this Current Report on Form 8-K not misleading.
MidCap Amendment
On December 31, 2021, in connection with the Asset Purchase, Sientra entered into Limited Consent and Second Amendment (the “Term Loan Amendment”) to Second Amended and Restated Credit and Security Agreement (Term Loan) (as amended, the “Term Loan Agreement”), dated February 5, 2021, with certain of Sientra’s wholly owned subsidiaries, the lenders party thereto and MidCap Financial Trust, as agent, in order to permit Sientra to enter into the Purchase Agreement and consummate the Asset Purchase under the Term Loan Agreement.

party thereto and MidCap Financial Trust, as agent, in order to permit Sientra to enter into the Purchase Agreement and consummate the Asset Purchase under the Revolving Loan Agreement.
