Loan and Security Agreement and Convertible Notes | Loan and Security Agreement and Convertible Notes 2018 Chinese Yuan (“RMB”) Loan In March 2018, the Company entered into a revolving credit line in the aggregate principal amount of $1.6 million (“RMB 10.0 million ”) with the Bank of China and the Agricultural Bank of China, which was guaranteed by Levena Suzhou Biopharma, Co. Ltd. This bank facility was used for working capital purposes. In January 2019, the Company repaid part of the remaining principal amount of $0.7 million (“RMB 5.0 million ”). 2018 Securities Purchase Agreement in Private Placement and Amendment to Warrants On March 26, 2018, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “March 2018 Securities Purchase Agreement”) with certain accredited investors (the “March 2018 Purchasers”). Pursuant to the March 2018 Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to issue and sell to the March 2018 Purchasers, in a Private Placement (the “March 2018 Private Placement”), (1) convertible promissory notes in an aggregate principal amount of $120,500,000 (the “Notes”), and (2) warrants to purchase 8,591,794 shares of the common stock of the Company (the “Warrants”). On June 13, 2018, the Company entered into an amendment (the “June 2018 Amendment”) to the March 2018 Securities Purchase Agreement. Under the terms of the June 2018 Amendment, the Company and the March 2018 Purchasers agreed that the aggregate principal amount of the Notes was reduced to $37,848,750 and that the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants was reduced to 2,698,662 , and also agreed to certain other adjustments to the threshold principal amount of the Notes required to remain outstanding in order for certain rights and obligations to apply to the Notes. On June 13, 2018, pursuant to the March 2018 Securities Purchase Agreement, as amended by the June 2018 Amendment, the Company issued and sold to the March 2018 Purchasers, in the March 2018 Private Placement (1) Notes in an aggregate principal amount of $37,848,750 , and (2) Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,698,662 shares of Common Stock. The Notes accrue interest at a rate equal to 5.0% per annum and mature upon the earlier to occur of June 13, 2023 and the date of the closing of a change of control (the “Maturity Date”). At any time and from time to time before the Maturity Date, each March 2018 Purchaser shall have the option to convert any portion of the outstanding principal amount of such March 2018 Purchaser’s Note that is equal to or greater than the lesser of: (1) $4,000,000 , and (2) the then-outstanding principal amount of such March 2018 Purchaser’s Note into shares of common stock at a price per share of $7.0125 , subject to adjustment for stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends and similar transactions. Accrued but unpaid interest on the Notes shall be paid in cash semi-annually in arrears on or prior to the 30th day of June and 31st day of December of each calendar year commencing with December 31, 2018. Each Warrant has an exercise price of $3.28 per share, subject to adjustment for stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends and similar transactions, became exercisable on December 11, 2018, has a term of five and a half years from the date of issuance and will be exercisable on a cash basis, unless there is not an effective registration statement covering the resale of the shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, in which case the Warrants shall also be exercisable on a cashless exercise basis. See Note 3 for discussion of the Company’s policies for accounting for debt with detachable warrants. In connection with the issuance of the Notes and the Warrants, the Company recorded a debt discount of approximately $21.6 million based on an allocation of proceeds to the Warrants of approximately $9.6 million and a beneficial conversion feature of approximately $12.0 million , before issuance costs. The Company accounts for the debt at amortized cost and amortizes the debt discount to interest expense using the effective interest method over the expected term of the Notes. The fair value of the Notes was estimated using a lattice model with Level 3 inputs including the historical stock price volatility, risk-free interest rate, and debt yield. On November 7, 2018, the Company entered into an Agreement and Consent (the “Agreement and Consent”) with the March 2018 Purchasers. Pursuant to the Agreement and Consent, in consideration for certain of the March 2018 Purchasers, in their capacity as holders of the Notes, providing a waiver and consent on behalf of all holders of the Notes, pursuant to which the March 2018 Purchasers provided the Company with certain waivers of their rights and certain of the Company’s covenants under the Securities Purchase Agreement, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto, with respect to the Loan Agreement (as defined below) and the transactions contemplated thereby, the Company and the March 2018 Purchasers agreed to amend the Warrants to reduce the exercise price per share of its common stock thereunder from $8.77 to $3.28 . The amendment of the Warrants resulted in a loss on debt extinguishment of $1.9 million representing the incremental fair value of the modified Warrants along with the difference between the fair value and carrying value of the Notes at the modification date of November 7, 2018. The Company determined that the amendment of the Warrants resulted in an extinguishment at the modification date. As a result, the Company recorded a loss on debt extinguishment for the difference between the fair value of $23.1 million and the carrying value of $17.0 million , or $6.1 million . The Company recorded the loss as of the date of modification, or November 7, 2018. As of March 31, 2019 , the estimated Level 3 fair value of the Notes was approximately $26.5 million , compared to the carrying value of $24.1 million . Borrowings under the Notes consisted of the following (in thousands): March 31, 2019 December 31, 2018 Face value of loan $ 37,849 $ 37,849 Unamortized debt discount (14,289 ) (14,804 ) Accretion of debt discount 538 515 Ending balance $ 24,098 $ 23,560 Interest expense recognized on the Notes for the three months ended March 31, 2019 totaled $0.5 million for the stated interest. Debt discount and debt issuance costs, which are presented as a direct reduction of the Notes in the consolidated balance sheets, are amortized as interest expense using the effective interest method. The amount of debt discount and debt issuance costs included in interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was approximately $0.5 million . The Company performed a Level 3 based assessment and identified a number of embedded derivatives that require bifurcation from the Notes and separate accounting as a single compound derivative. As the current fair value attributed to the bifurcated compound derivative is immaterial, the Company has not recorded this derivative within its consolidated financial statements. The Company will re-evaluate this assessment each reporting period. 2018 Purchase Agreements and Indenture for Scilex On September 7, 2018, Scilex entered into Purchase Agreements (the “2018 Purchase Agreements”) with certain investors (collectively, the “Scilex Note Purchasers”) and the Company. Pursuant to the 2018 Purchase Agreements, on September 7, 2018, Scilex, among other things, issued and sold to the Scilex Note Purchasers senior secured notes due 2026 in an aggregate principal amount of $224,000,000 (the “Scilex Notes”) for an aggregate purchase price of $140,000,000 (the “Offering”). In connection with the Offering, Scilex also entered into the Indenture governing the Scilex Notes with U.S. Bank National Association, a national banking association, as trustee (the “Trustee”) and collateral agent (the “Collateral Agent”), and the Company. Pursuant to the Indenture, the Company agreed to irrevocably and unconditionally guarantee, on a senior unsecured basis, the punctual performance and payment when due of all obligations of Scilex under the Indenture (the “Guarantee”). The net proceeds of the Offering were approximately $89.3 million , after deducting the Offering expenses payable by Scilex and funding a segregated reserve account with $20.0 million (the “Reserve Account”) and a segregated collateral account with $25.0 million (the “Collateral Account”) pursuant to the terms of the Indenture. The net proceeds of the Offering will be used by Scilex to support the commercialization of ZTlido® (lidocaine topical system 1.8%), for working capital and general corporate purposes in respect of the commercialization of ZTlido® (lidocaine topical system 1.8%). Funds in the Reserve Account will be released to Scilex upon receipt by the Trustee of an officer’s certificate under the Indenture from Scilex confirming receipt of a marketing approval letter from the FDA with respect to ZTlido® (lidocaine topical system 5.4%) or a similar product with a concentration of not less than 5% (the “Marketing Approval Letter”) on or prior to July 1, 2023. Funds in the Collateral Account will be released upon receipt of a written consent authorizing such release from the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Scilex Notes issued, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default at the direction of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Scilex Notes issued or upon the repayment in full of all amounts owed under the Scilex Notes. The holders of the Scilex Notes will be entitled to receive quarterly payments of principal of the Scilex Notes equal to a percentage, in the range of 10% to 20% of the net sales of ZTlido® (lidocaine topical system 1.8%) for the prior fiscal quarter, beginning on February 15, 2019. If Scilex has not received the Marketing Approval Letter by March 31, 2021, the percentage of net sales payable shall be increased to be in the range of 15% to 25% . If actual cumulative net sales of ZTlido® (lidocaine topical system 1.8%) from October 1, 2022 through September 30, 2023 are less than 60% of a predetermined target sales threshold for such period, then Scilex will be obligated to pay an additional installment of principal of the Scilex Notes each quarter in an amount equal to an amount to be determined by reference to the amount of such deficiency. The aggregate principal amount due under the Scilex Notes shall be increased by $28,000,000 on February 15, 2022 if actual cumulative net sales of ZTlido® (lidocaine topical system 1.8%) from the issue date of the Scilex Notes through December 31, 2021 do not equal or exceed 95% of a predetermined target sales threshold for such period. If actual cumulative net sales of ZTlido® (lidocaine topical system 1.8%) for the period from October 1, 2022 through September 30, 2023 do not equal or exceed 80% of a predetermined target sales threshold for such period, the aggregate principal amount shall also be increased on November 15, 2023 by an amount equal to an amount to be determined by reference to the amount of such deficiency. The final maturity date of the Scilex Notes will be August 15, 2026. The Scilex Notes may be redeemed in whole at any time upon 30 days’ written notice at Scilex’s option prior to August 15, 2026 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the then-outstanding principal amount of the Scilex Notes. In addition, upon a change of control of Scilex (as defined in the Indenture), each holder of a Scilex Note shall have the right to require Scilex to repurchase all or any part of such holder’s Scilex Note at a repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of the then-outstanding principal amount thereof. The 2018 Purchase Agreements include the terms and conditions of the offer and sale of the Scilex Notes, representations and warranties of the parties, indemnification and contribution obligations and other terms and conditions customary in agreements of this type. The Indenture governing the Scilex Notes contains customary events of default with respect to the Scilex Notes (including a failure to make any payment of principal on the Scilex Notes when due and payable), and, upon certain events of default occurring and continuing, the Trustee by notice to Scilex, or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Scilex Notes by notice to Scilex and the Trustee, may (subject to the provisions of the Indenture) declare 100% of the then-outstanding principal amount of the Scilex Notes to be due and payable. Upon such a declaration of acceleration, such principal will be due and payable immediately. In the case of certain events, including bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization involving the Company or Scilex, the Scilex Notes will automatically become due and payable. Pursuant to the Indenture, the Company and Scilex must also comply with certain covenants with respect to the commercialization of ZTlido® (lidocaine topical system 1.8%), as well as customary additional affirmative covenants, such as furnishing financial statements to the holders of the Scilex Notes, minimum cash requirements and net sales reports; and negative covenants, including limitations on the following: the incurrence of debt; the payment of dividends, the repurchase of shares and under certain conditions making certain other restricted payments; the prepayment, redemption or repurchase of subordinated debt; a merger, amalgamation or consolidation involving Scilex; engaging in certain transactions with affiliates; and the making of investments other than those permitted by the Indenture. The Scilex Notes and related Guarantee have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction and may not be offered or sold in the United States without registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. The holders of the Scilex Notes do not have any registration rights. Pursuant to a Collateral Agreement by and among Scilex, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent (the “Collateral Agreement”), the Scilex Notes will be secured by ZTlido® (lidocaine topical system 1.8%) and all of the existing and future property and assets of Scilex necessary for, or otherwise relevant to, now or in the future, the manufacture and sale of ZTlido® (lidocaine topical system 1.8%), on a worldwide basis (exclusive of Japan), including, but not limited to, the intellectual property related to ZTlido® (lidocaine topical system 1.8%), the marketing or similar regulatory approvals related to ZTlido® (lidocaine topical system 1.8%), any licenses, agreements and other contracts related to ZTlido® (lidocaine topical system 1.8%), and the current assets related to ZTlido® (lidocaine topical system 1.8%) such as inventory, accounts receivable and cash and any and all future iterations, improvements or modifications of such product made, developed or licensed (or sub-licensed) by Scilex or any of its affiliates or licensees (or sub-licensees) (including ZTlido® (lidocaine topical system 5.4%)). Pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, the Company issued an irrevocable standby letter of credit to Scilex (the “Letter of Credit”), which provides that, in the event that (1) Scilex does not hold at least $35,000,000 in unrestricted cash as of the end of any calendar month during the term of the Scilex Notes, (2) actual cumulative net sales of ZTlido® (lidocaine topical system 1.8%) from the issue date of the Scilex Notes through December 31, 2021 are less than a specified sales threshold for such period, or (3) actual cumulative net sales of ZTlido® (lidocaine topical system 1.8%) for any calendar year during the term of the Scilex Notes, beginning with the 2022 calendar year, are less than a specified sales threshold for such calendar year, Scilex, as beneficiary of the Letter of Credit, will draw, and the Company will pay to Scilex, $35,000,000 in a single lump-sum amount as a subordinated loan. The Letter of Credit will terminate upon the earliest to occur of: (a) the repayment of the Scilex Notes in full, (b) the actual net sales of ZTlido® (lidocaine topical system 1.8%) for any calendar year during the term of the Scilex Notes exceeding a certain threshold, (c) the consummation of an initial public offering on a major international stock exchange by Scilex that satisfies certain valuation thresholds, and (d) the replacement of the Letter of Credit with another letter of credit in form and substance, including as to the identity and creditworthiness of issuer, reasonably acceptable to the holders of at least 80% in principal amount of outstanding Scilex Notes. As of March 31, 2019, the estimated fair value of the Notes was approximately $142.2 million compared to the carrying value of $145.3 million . The Company uses the discounted cash flow method under the income approach, which involves significant Level 3 inputs and assumptions, combined with a Monte Carlo simulation, as appropriate. The value of the debt instrument is based on the present value of future interest and principal payments, discounted a rate of return reflective the Company’s credit risk. Borrowings of the 2018 Purchase Agreements and Indenture for Scilex consisted of the following (in thousands): March 31, 2019 December 31, 2018 Face value of loan $ 224,000 $ 224,000 Unamortized debt discount (77,624 ) (84,000 ) Capitalized debt issuance costs (5,313 ) (5,748 ) Accretion of debt discount 4,326 6,376 Amortization of debt issuance cost 299 435 Payments (438 ) — Ending balance $ 145,250 $ 141,063 Future minimum payments under the Notes, based on a percentage of projected net sales of ZTlido® (lidocaine topical system 1.8%) are as follows (in thousands): Year Ending December 31, 2019 (Remaining nine months) $ 3,912 2020 17,770 2021 31,283 2022 73,007 2023 97,590 Total future minimum payments 223,562 Unamortized debt discount (73,298 ) Unamortized capitalized debt issuance costs (5,014 ) Total minimum payment 145,250 Current portion (7,933 ) Long-term portion of Scilex Notes $ 137,317 Debt discount and debt issuance costs, which are presented as a direct reduction of the Scilex Notes in the consolidated balance sheets, are amortized as interest expense using the effective interest method. As principal repayments on the Scilex Notes are based on a percentage of net sales of ZTlido® (lidocaine topical system 1.8% and lidocaine topical system 5.4%, if a Marketing Approval Letter is received), the Company has elected to account for changes in estimated cash flows from future net sales prospectively. Specifically, a new effective interest rate will be determined based on revised estimates of remaining cash flows and changes in expected cash flows will be recognized prospectively. The amount of debt discount and debt issuance costs included in interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was approximately $4.6 million . The Company identified a number of embedded derivatives that require bifurcation from the Scilex Notes and separate accounting as a single compound derivative. The Company recorded this derivative within its consolidated financial statements (See Note 5). The Company re-evaluates this assessment each reporting period. 2018 Oaktree Term Loan Agreement On November 7, 2018, the Company and certain of its domestic subsidiaries (the “Guarantors”) entered into a Term Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with certain funds and accounts managed by Oaktree Capital Management, L.P. (collectively, the “Lenders”) and Oaktree Fund Administration, LLC, as administrative and collateral agent (the “Agent”), for an initial term loan of $100.0 million (the “Initial Loan”) and a second tranche of $50.0 million , subject to the achievement of certain commercial and financial milestones between August 7, 2019 and November 7, 2019, and the satisfaction of certain customary conditions (the “Conditional Loan” and, together with the Initial Loan, the “Term Loan”). The Initial Loan matures on November 7, 2023 (the “Maturity Date”) and bears interest at a rate equal to the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus the applicable margin, or 7% . The Initial Loan was funded on November 7, 2018. The net proceeds of the Initial Loan were approximately $91.3 million , after deducting estimated loan costs, commissions, fees and expenses and funding a debt service reserve account with approximately $9.6 million (the “Debt Service Reserve Account”), and will be used for general corporate purposes. In connection with the Loan Agreement, the Company and the Guarantors entered into a Collateral Agreement with the Agent (the “Collateral Agreement”). The Collateral Agreement provides that the Term Loan is secured by substantially all of the Company’s and the Guarantors’ assets, and a pledge of 100% of the equity interests in other entities each of the Company and the Guarantors holds (subject to certain exceptions and other than equity interests held by the Company or a Guarantor in certain foreign subsidiaries, which is limited to 65% of such voting equity interests). In connection with the Loan Agreement, on November 7, 2018, the Company issued to the Lenders warrants to purchase 6,288,985 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Initial Warrants”). The Initial Warrants have an exercise price per share of $3.28 , subject to adjustment for stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends and similar transactions, will be exercisable from May 7, 2019 through May 7, 2029 and will be exercisable on a cash basis, unless there is not an effective registration statement covering the resale of the shares issuable upon exercise of the Initial Warrants (the “Initial Warrant Shares”), in which case the Initial Warrants shall also be exercisable on a cashless exercise basis. In connection with the Loan Agreement, on November 7, 2018, the Company and the Lenders entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) pursuant to which, among other things, the Company agreed to file one or more registration statements with the SEC for the purpose of registering for resale the Initial Warrant Shares and the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of warrants that may be issued in connection with the Conditional Loan (the “Conditional Warrants”). Under the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC registering all of the Initial Warrant Shares and the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Conditional Warrants for resale by no later than the 45th day following the issuance of the Initial Warrants and the Conditional Warrants, respectively. As of March 31, 2019, the estimated fair value of the Initial Loan was approximately $67.9 million compared to the carrying value of $68.2 million . Borrowings under the Initial Loan consisted of the following (in thousands): March 31, 2019 December 31, 2018 Face value of loan $ 100,000 $ 100,000 Debt discount - warrant (26,248 ) (26,659 ) Capitalized debt issuance costs (6,543 ) (6,658 ) Accretion of debt discount and amortization of issuance costs 1,039 526 Ending balance $ 68,248 $ 67,209 Interest expense recognized on the Initial Loan for the three months ended March 31, 2019 totaled $2.4 million for the stated interest. Debt discount and debt issuance costs, which are presented as a direct reduction of the Loan Agreement in the consolidated balance sheets, are amortized as interest expense using the effective interest method. The amount of debt discount and debt issuance costs included in interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was approximately $1.0 million . The Company performed a Level 3 based assessment and identified a number of embedded derivatives that require bifurcation from the Initial Loan and separate accounting as a single compound derivative. Certain of these embedded features include default interest due to non-credit-related events of default, mandatory prepayment upon a change of control, mandatory prepayment upon an asset disposition, mandatory prepayment upon non-permitted debt issuance, indemnified taxes, increased costs upon a change in law and automatic acceleration upon a non-bankruptcy event of default. As the current fair value attributed to the bifurcated compound derivative is immaterial, the Company has not recorded this derivative within its consolidated financial statements. The Company will re-evaluate this assessment each reporting period. |
