On October 12, 2021, the Company issued $55.0 million first tranche notes, a portion of the proceeds of which, together with the proceeds from a concurrent underwritten equity offering, were used to repay in full the obligations under a prior credit agreement. On August 4, 2022, the Company entered into a first amendment to the Note Purchase Agreement (the “Amendment”) with, among others, Athyrium Opportunities IV Co-Invest 1 LP (the “New Purchaser”), certain other purchasers party thereto (together with the New Purchaser, the “Purchasers”) and the Administrative Agent, which amended the Note Purchase Agreement (as amended, the “Amended Note Purchase Agreement”). The Amendment provided, among other things, for the issuance of $20.0 million of secured second tranche notes, dated as of August 8, 2022. Furthermore, under the Amendment, the Purchasers committed to purchase certain third tranche notes in an aggregate principal amount of up to $25.0 million at any time prior to April 15, 2023, upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, including a minimum net product sales target for Upneeq over a specified period of time. Further, the Amendment provides for the replacement of a LIBOR-based interest rate under the Note Purchase Agreement with a Term SOFR-based interest rate. After September 30, 2022, the Senior Secured Notes bear interest at an annual rate of . The Senior Secured Notes require quarterly repayments equal to 5.0% of the principal outstanding beginning on March 31, 2024, with any residual balance due at maturity on October 12, 2026. The Senior Secured Notes may be voluntarily prepaid upon the satisfaction of certain conditions and with each such prepayment being accompanied by, as applicable, (i) a make-whole premium, (ii) an exit fee of 2% of the principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes prepaid, (iii) certain other fees, indemnities and expenses, and (iv) all accrued interest on the principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes being so prepaid. The Amendment provided for the reset of the date from which the make-whole premium is applicable with respect to the first tranche notes. Specifically, the make-whole premium start date with respect to the first tranche notes changed from October 12, 2021, to either (A) March 1, 2022, if the third tranche notes are not issued or (B) August 8, 2022, if the third tranche notes are issued. The Senior Secured Notes must be prepaid upon the receipt of cash under certain defined conditions, including from voluntary and involuntary asset dispositions, extraordinary receipts, issuance of new indebtedness, and contingent milestone payments for the Legacy Business paid by Alora, each such prepayment being accompanied by, as applicable, the fees described in (i) through (iv) above. The exit fee described in (ii) above is payable on the principal amount of all notes prepaid or repaid, including upon the repayment of the notes upon maturity. The Senior Secured Notes are guaranteed on a senior secured basis by the Company and certain of its subsidiaries. The Senior Secured Notes and guarantees are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and its U.S. subsidiaries. Subject to certain exceptions and qualifications, the Amended Note Purchase Agreement contains covenants that, among other things, limit the Company’s ability and the ability of its restricted subsidiaries, including the guarantors, to (i) incur additional indebtedness or issue certain disqualified capital stock, (ii) create liens, (iii) transfer or sell assets, (iv) make certain investments, loans, advances and acquisitions, (v) engage in consolidations, amalgamations or mergers, or sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of their assets, and (vi) enter into certain transactions with affiliates. The Amended Note Purchase Agreement also provides for customary events of default. In addition, the restrictive covenants in the Amended Note Purchase Agreement require the Company to comply with certain minimum liquidity requirements and minimum quarterly net product sales requirements. At any time and subject to downward adjustment in certain circumstances, the Company is required to maintain unrestricted cash and cash equivalents in an amount greater than or equal to $15.0 million, and, as of the end of each fiscal quarter, it is required to maintain consolidated Upneeq net product sales greater than or equal to specified quarterly thresholds (currently at $6.0 million for the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2022, and increasing in $1.0 million increments each fiscal quarter thereafter until the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2024, for which such fiscal quarter and all subsequent fiscal quarters the threshold is $12.0 million). At September 30, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all conditions of the Amended Note Purchase Agreement. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company incurred aggregate debt issuance costs of $2.1 million related to the Senior Secured Notes, $1.5 million and $0.6 million of which were recognized as financial commitment assets underlying the first and second tranche notes, respectively. The Company elected the fair value option of accounting on the first tranche notes upon issuance and, accordingly, a proportionate amount of related debt issuance costs were immediately written off in October 2021. The Company’s residual financial commitment asset related to the undrawn second tranche notes, was being amortized over the relevant one-year commitment period, however, upon the issuance of the second tranche notes in August 2022 the residual financial commitment asset was immediately expensed. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recognized $1.1 million and $3.1 million, respectively, of amortization expense from the second tranche financial commitment asset with such expense being recorded within interest expense and amortization of debt discount in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the second tranche financial commitment asset had a carrying value of zero and $3.1 million, respectively, and was recorded within current assets in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company also elected the fair value option of accounting on the second tranche notes upon issuance and, accordingly, $0.9 million of related debt issuance costs were immediately written off in August 2022, with such expense being recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. On a recurring basis, changes in fair value of Senior Secured Notes will be presented in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss at each reporting period (see Note 14). In the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company obtained waivers from the applicable purchasers of mandatory repayments of an aggregate of $5.0 million in principal of the Senior Secured Notes as otherwise required under the Amended Note Purchase Agreement, in exchange for a consent fee of $0.2 million, resulting in net retained proceeds of $4.8 million. Prior Credit Agreement Prior to October 12, 2021, the Company was party to a Credit Agreement, dated February 3, 2016 and as amended from time to time, under which an aggregate principal amount of $327.5 million of secured term loans were previously issued (the “Prior Term Loans”) and that provided for revolving credit commitments up to $50.0 million (the “Prior Revolving Facility,” and together with the Prior Term Loans, the “Prior Credit Agreement”). During the six months ended June 30, 2021, pursuant to the terms of the Prior Credit Agreement, the Company exercised its right to cure a shortfall in certain financial covenants which resulted in the mandatory prepayment of $5.3 million against the Prior Term Loans. On June 25, 2021, the Company amended the Prior Credit Agreement (the “Fifth Amendment”), pursuant to which liens on the Legacy Business were released and the parties agreed to (i) reduce the outstanding Prior Term Loans balance to $30.0 million upon the closing of the divestiture of the Legacy Business, (ii) terminate the Prior Revolving Facility (50% upon signing of the Fifth Amendment and the remaining 50% upon closing of the Legacy Business divestiture), and (iii) shorten the maturity of any remaining term loans to November 21, 2021. On August 27, 2021, the Company announced the closing of the divestiture of the Legacy Business (see Note 4). Proceeds from the divestiture of the Legacy Business, together with cash on hand were used to repay $186.1 million of debt under the Prior Term Loans and the Prior Revolving Facility expired without ever having been drawn upon. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company incurred immaterial fees and expenses upon termination of the Prior Credit Agreement and also wrote off $1.4 million and $1.4 million of debt issuance costs, respectively, relating to the prepayments, with the related expense classified within other non-operating gain or loss in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. |
