NOTE 5. CREDIT FACILITY WITH PLATINUM-MONTAUR LIFE SCIENCES, LLC

On August 31, 2012, the Company and Platinum Montaur Life Sciences, LLC (“Montaur”) entered into a Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) pursuant to which Montaur made a non-revolving draw credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) of up to $20,000,000 available to the Company, a substantial portion of which is subject to the successful achievement of certain clinical and regulatory milestones set forth in the Loan Agreement, with an initial available principal amount of $5,000,000.  The principal balance of each draw will bear interest from the applicable draw date at a rate of 10% per annum, compounded monthly.  The Company issued to Montaur a Promissory Note dated August 31, 2012 (the “Note”), with a maturity date of five years from the date of closing.  The Company has used the proceeds from the Credit Facility to fund operations.  As a result of the Company’s 2013 financing transactions, this Credit Facility is currently only available at Montaur’s discretion.

 

Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, the Company issued Montaur a warrant to purchase 400,000 shares of its Common Stock, with a term of five years and an exercise price of $20.00 per share (the “Commitment Warrant”).  The fair value of the warrant was determined to be approximately $4,840,000 and was recorded as a deferred financing cost that will be amortized to interest expense over the term of the Note.  Of this cost, $968,004 was reflected in Current Assets, representing the portion to be amortized over the next twelve months. Amortization of the deferred financing cost for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 was $242,001 and is included in interest expense.  In addition, for each $1,000,000 of funds borrowed pursuant to the Credit Facility, the Company will issue Montaur a warrant to purchase 100,000 shares of Common Stock, with a term of five years and an exercise price equal to 150% of the market price of the Common Stock at the time of the draw, but in no event less than $20.00 or more than $40.00 per share (together with the Commitment Warrant, the “Warrants”).  All of the Warrants are immediately exercisable and will have a term of five years from the issue date. The exercise price of the Warrants is subject to adjustment for stock splits, combinations or similar events.  An exercise under the Warrants may not result in the holder beneficially owning more than 4.99% or 9.99%, as applicable, of all of the Common Stock outstanding at the time; provided, however, that a holder may waive the 4.99% ownership limitation upon sixty-one (61) days’ advance written notice to the Company.

 

On September 14, 2012, the Company submitted a draw request to Montaur in the amount of $3,000,000 in the form required by the Loan Agreement (the “September Request”).  The Company ultimately received the $3,000,000 across three draws in 2012.  These draws were recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheet under note payable, net of the initial $3,000,000 in discounts recorded related to the warrants issued and described below.  In accordance with the Loan Agreement and as a result of funding received from Montaur, the Company issued to Montaur separate warrants concurrent with the three draws in 2012 to purchase 300,000 shares of Common Stock, with a term of five years, and having exercise prices ranging from $21.10 to $22.70 per share.  The fair value of these warrants issued was determined to be approximately $3,455,000, of which $3,000,000 was treated as a debt discount and was to be accreted to interest expense over the term of the Note, and the balance of approximately $455,000 was charged to interest expense in 2012.

 

On March 1, 2013, the Company elected to prepay all outstanding draws under the Montaur Credit Facility totaling $3,113,366, which includes interest accrued and unpaid to that date of $113,366.  After such date, no principal amount is outstanding under the Credit Facility.  Concurrent with this prepayment, the Company recorded non-cash interest expense of approximately $2,879,166 in March 2013 relating to the unamortized debt discount on the outstanding draws paid off.
