Amended Note Purchase Agreement
On April 14, 2024, Allurion, RTW Investments, LP (together with its affiliates, “RTW”), as agent for the purchasers (the “Purchasers”) party thereto from time to time (RTW in such capacity, the “Principal Purchaser”), and Acquiom Agency Services LLC (“Acquiom”), as collateral agent for the Purchasers and the Principal Purchaser, entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the “Original Note Purchase Agreement”). Subsequently, on April 16, 2024, the Company, the Principal Purchaser, the Purchasers and Acquiom entered into the First Amendment to the Original Note Purchase Agreement (the “Amendment”; the Original Note Purchase Agreement, as amended by the Amendment, the “Amended Note Purchase Agreement”).
Pursuant to the Amended Note Purchase Agreement, the Company issued and sold $48 million aggregate principal amount of convertible senior secured notes (the “Notes”) to the Purchasers in a private placement transaction. The Company used the proceeds from the issuance of the Notes to refinance its outstanding obligations under the Credit Agreement and Guaranty, dated as of August 1, 2023 (as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Credit Agreement and Guaranty, dated as of December 29, 2023, the “Fortress Credit Agreement”) by and among Allurion, Allurion Opco, the subsidiary guarantors from time to time party thereto, the lenders from time to time party thereto in full and to pay fees and expenses in connection therewith and in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Amended Note Purchase Agreement. The Company has terminated and repaid in full the outstanding borrowings and other obligations under the Fortress Credit Agreement.
The Notes bear interest at the annual rate of 6.0%, which interest is payable quarterly in cash or, at the Company’s option, in kind for the first three years. The maturity date for the Notes is April 16, 2031. The Notes are guaranteed by Allurion Technologies, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Allurion Opco”), and certain other current and future subsidiaries of the Company, and are secured by substantially all the assets of the Company and the guarantors.
The Notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s Common Stock, at a Purchaser’s election at any time after the earliest of (i) the date on which Stockholder Approval (as defined below) is obtained, (ii) December 31, 2025, (iii) the date of a Fundamental Change Company Notice (as defined in the Amended Note Purchase Agreement), and (iv) the Make-Whole Fundamental Change Effective Date (as defined in the Amended Note Purchase Agreement), subject to certain terms and limitations in the Amended Note Purchase Agreement, based on a conversion rate of 24.6920 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $40.50 per share, which represents a 35% premium to the lowest price per share in an equity financing for capital raising purposes ending on the date on which the Company has raised aggregate gross offering proceeds of at least $15,000,000 (the “Next Equity Financing”). On July 1, 2024, we consummated the Public Offering, as described elsewhere in this prospectus, which constituted a Next Equity Financing. Because the conversion price was reset in connection with the Next Equity Financing to a price below the NYSE’s “Minimum Price” (as such term is defined in Section 312.03 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual), the Amended Note Purchase Agreement provides that unless and until requisite approval of the Company’s stockholders is obtained (“Stockholder Approval”), the Company will not deliver Common Stock upon conversion of the Notes in excess of 1% of the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock outstanding as of April 14, 2024. At our 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders on December 16, 2024 (the “2024 Annual Meeting”), we obtained the First Stockholder Approval. The holder of the Notes may not exercise the Notes if such holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own more than 9.99% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion.
Revenue Interest Financing Agreements
On April 14, 2024, the Revenue Interest Financing Agreement (as amended from time to time, the “Revenue Interest Financing Agreement”) was amended pursuant to the Omnibus Amendment (the “RIFA Amendment”) by and among the Company, Allurion Opco, Allurion Australia Pty Ltd, a proprietary limited company organized under the laws of Australia and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, the Original RIFA Investors (as defined therein) and RTW, to reflect certain modifications agreed between the parties thereto in connection with the Purchasers’ purchase of the Notes and the refinancing of the Fortress Credit Agreement. Among other things, the RIFA Amendment waived the existing event of default under the Revenue Interest Financing Agreement, increased the rate of revenue interest payments to be paid to RTW on all current and future products and digital solutions developed and to be developed by the Company (the “Royalty Rate”) for net sales less than or equal to $100 million prior to December 31, 2026 from 6% to 12%, and increased the Royalty Rate on net sales less than or equal to $100 million on or after January 1, 2027 from 10% to 12%, subject to the terms and conditions of the RIFA Amendment.
