Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On March 3, 2025, Alpha Teknova, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into the Second Amended and Restated Credit and Security Agreement (Term Loan) as borrower, with MidCap Financial Trust (“MidCap”), as agent and lender, and the additional lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Second Amended and Restated Term Loan Credit Agreement”) and the Second Amended and Restated Credit and Security Agreement (Revolving Loan) as borrower, with MidCap as agent and lender, and the additional lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Second Amended and Restated Revolving Loan Credit Agreement”, together with the Second Amended and Restated Term Loan Credit Agreement, the “Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”).
The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provides for a $28.245 million credit facility consisting of a $23.245 million senior secured term loan (“Amended Term Loan”) and a $5.0 million working capital facility (“Amended Revolver”). The Amended Term Loan consists of the $12.135 million balance outstanding under the previous term loan, plus an additional $1.110 million related to the exit fee that would otherwise have been due upon closing of the Second and Amended Restated Term Loan Credit Agreement, as well as an additional tranche of $10.0 million that may become available for use in an acquisition, with MidCap’s consent. The Amended Term Loan also provides for up to $1.1 million of permitted debt to allow for financing of insurance policies, as well as up to $3.0 million for equipment financing. The maximum loan amount under the Amended Revolver is $5.0 million, with borrowings limited in accordance with a borrowing base calculation, based solely on eligible accounts receivable.
The interest on the Amended Term Loan is based on the forward-looking one-month term Secured Overnight Financing Rate adjusted upward by 0.10% (Term SOFR), plus an applicable margin of 6.45%, subject to a Term SOFR floor of 3.75%. If any advance under the Amended Term Loan is prepaid at any time, a prepayment fee is charged based on the amount being prepaid and an applicable percentage amount, such as 4%, 3%, or 1%, based on the date the prepayment is made. Interest on an outstanding balance under the Amended Revolver is payable monthly in arrears at an annual rate of Term SOFR plus an applicable margin of 4.00%, subject to a Term SOFR floor of 3.75%.
The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement includes minimum net revenue requirements that are measured on a trailing twelve-month basis and a minimum cash requirement throughout the term of the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. For example, the Company’s minimum net revenue requirement for the twelve months ending December 31, 2025, is $39.0 million. The minimum cash requirement is $8.0 million, which includes cash and cash equivalents as well as short-term investments in U.S. Treasuries, under the terms of the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.
The maturity date of the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement is March 1, 2030, with principal repayments beginning on April 1, 2028. On the date of termination of the Amended Term Loan or the date on which the obligations under the Amended Term Loan become due and payable in full, the Company will pay an exit fee in an amount equal to 5.0% of the total aggregate principal amount of term loans made pursuant to the Second Amended and Restated Term Loan Credit Agreement as of such date.
This summary of the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Amended Term Loan and Amended Revolver, which are filed as Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 10.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
