1.25% Convertible Senior Notes
On May 4, 2020 (the “Closing Date”), the Company completed the sale of $201.3 million of Convertible Senior Notes with a stated interest rate of 1.25% and a maturity date of May 1, 2025 (the “Convertible Notes”), unless earlier converted, redeemed, or repurchased. The Convertible Notes were issued at a discounted price of 97% of their principal amount. The total net proceeds from the issuance of the Convertible Notes and exercise of the Over-allotment Option was approximately $194.4 million, which includes approximately $6.9 million of discounts, commissions and offering expenses paid by the Company. On May 4, 2020, the Company entered into an Indenture (the “Indenture”), with U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), governing the Convertible Notes.
Prior to February 1, 2025, noteholders may convert their Convertible Notes at their option, only in the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on September 30, 2020 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of the common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day; (2) during the five business day period after any five consecutive trading day period in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day; (3) if the Company calls any or all of the notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the scheduled trading day immediately preceding the redemption date; or (4) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events. On or after February 1, 2025 until the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the maturity date, noteholders may convert their Convertible Notes at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances.
Upon conversion, the Company will pay or deliver, as applicable, cash, shares of common stock or a combination of cash and shares of common stock, at its election. The initial conversion rate for the Convertible Notes is 27.5198 shares of common stock per $1,000 in principal amounts of Convertible Note, equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $36.34 per share of common stock. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment as described in the Indenture. In addition, following certain corporate events that occur prior to the maturity date as described in the Indenture, the Company will pay a make-whole premium by increasing the conversion rate for a holder who elects to convert its Convertible Notes in connection with such a corporate event in certain circumstances. For purposes of calculating earnings per share, if the average market price of the Company's common stock exceeds the applicable conversion price during the periods reported, shares contingently issuable under the Convertible Notes will have a dilutive effect to the common stock. Since the conversion price of $36.34 exceeded the Company's closing common stock price of $30.98 at the end of the period, the if-converted value did not exceed the principal amount of the Convertible Notes at June 30, 2020.
The Company may not redeem the Convertible Notes prior to May 6, 2023. The Company may redeem for cash all or any portion of the Convertible Notes, at its option, on or after May 6, 2023 if the last reported sale price of its common stock has
been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period (including the last trading day of such period) ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date of notice by the Company of redemption at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. No sinking fund is provided for the Convertible Notes.
If an event involving bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization events with respect to the Company occurs, then the principal amount of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, all of the Convertible Notes then outstanding will immediately become due and payable. If any other default event occurs and is continuing, then noteholders of at least 25% of the aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes then outstanding, by notice to the Company, may declare the principal amount of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, all of the Convertible Notes then outstanding to become due and payable immediately. If the Company undergoes a “fundamental change” as defined in the Indenture, then noteholders may require the Company to repurchase their Convertible Notes at a cash repurchase price equal to the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date.
The Convertible Notes are the Company’s senior, unsecured obligations and will be equal in right of payment with its existing and future senior, unsecured indebtedness, senior in right of payment to its existing and future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated to the Convertible Notes and effectively junior to its existing and future secured indebtedness, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing that indebtedness. The Convertible Notes will be structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities, including trade payables, of its subsidiaries.
The interest expense recognized on the Convertible Notes includes $0.4 million, $0.9 million and $19,100 for the contractual coupon interest, the accretion of the debt discount and the amortization of the debt issuance costs, respectively, for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. The effective interest rate on the Convertible Notes is 5.5%, which includes the interest on the Convertible Notes and amortization of the debt discount and debt issuance costs. Interest on the Convertible Notes began accruing upon issuance and is payable semi-annually.
The Convertible Notes are accounted for as separate liability and equity components. The carrying amount of the liability component was calculated by measuring the fair value of a similar liability that does not have an associated convertible feature. The allocation was performed in a manner that reflected the Company’s non-convertible debt borrowing rate for similar debt. The equity component of the Convertible Notes was recognized as a debt discount and represents the difference between the proceeds from the issuance of the Convertible Notes and the fair value of the liability of the Convertible Notes on the date of issuance. At the Closing Date, the equity component representing the conversion option was determined to be $21.6 million, net of tax, and was initially recorded by deducting the carrying value of the liability component from the initial proceeds from the Convertible Notes. The excess of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes over the carrying amount of the liability component represents a debt discount that is amortized to interest expense over the term of the Convertible Notes under the effective interest rate method. The equity component is not re-measured as long as it continues to meet the conditions for equity classification.
Prior Senior Secured Credit Agreement
On May 4, 2020, the Company terminated its Senior Secured Credit Agreement (the “Prior Senior Secured Credit Agreement”) and used $96.3 million of the net proceeds from the Convertible Notes to repay all outstanding amounts owed thereunder.
On June 27, 2019 (the “Prior Closing Date”), the Company entered into the Prior Senior Secured Credit Agreement with PNC Bank National Association (“PNC”), as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto. The Prior Senior Secured Credit Agreement provided for a $100.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Prior Revolving Credit Facility”), a $100.0 million term loan facility (the “Prior Term Loan Facility”), and a $50.0 million delayed draw term loan (the “Prior Delayed Draw Term Loan”).
Borrowings under the Prior Senior Secured Credit Agreement bore interest at a rate per annum equal to an applicable margin plus, at the Company’s option, either (1) the Adjusted LIBOR rate for the relevant interest period, as defined within the agreement (2) an alternate base rate determined by reference to the greatest of (a) the federal funds rate for the relevant interest period plus 0.5% per annum, (b) the prime lending rate of PNC and (c) the daily LIBOR rate plus 1% per annum, or (3) a combination of (1) and (2). The applicable margin ranged from 1.25% to 2.25% for LIBOR loans and 0.25% to 1.25% for base rate loans, in each case based on NeoGenomics’ Consolidated Leverage Ratio (as defined in the New Credit Agreement). Interest on borrowings under the New Credit Agreement was payable on the last day of each month, in the case of each base rate loan, and on the last day of each interest period (but no less frequently than every three months), in the case of LIBOR loans. The Company had previously entered into an interest rate swap agreements to hedge against changes in the variable rate for a portion of our long term debt. See Note 8. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, for more information on these instruments.
The Prior Revolving Credit Facility included a $10.0 million swing loan sublimit, with swing loans that bore interest at the alternate base rate plus the applicable margin. Any principal outstanding under the Prior Revolving Credit Facility was due and payable on June 27, 2024 or such earlier date as the obligations under the Prior Senior Secured Credit Agreement became due and payable pursuant to the terms of the Prior Senior Secured Credit Agreement. No amounts were outstanding under the Prior Revolving Credit Facility as of December 31, 2019.
Principal payments on the Prior Term Loan Facility were due on the last day of each fiscal quarter with an annual principal amortization of 5% in the first year, 5% in the second year, 7.5% in the third year, 7.5% in the fourth year, and 10% in each year thereafter, with the remainder due upon maturity on June 27, 2024 or such earlier date as the obligations under the Prior Senior Secured Credit Agreement become due and payable pursuant to the terms of the Prior Senior Secured Credit Agreement.
On December 31, 2019, the Company had current outstanding borrowings under the Prior Term Loan Facility of approximately $5.0 million, and long-term outstanding borrowings of approximately $91.8 million, net of unamortized debt issuance costs of $0.7 million. In association with the early termination of the debt, the Company incurred a loss on the extinguishment of debt of $1.4 million.
In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal under the Prior Senior Secured Credit Agreement, the Company was required to pay a commitment fee in respect of the unutilized portion of the commitments under the Prior Revolving Credit Facility and the Prior Delayed Draw Term Loan. The commitment fee rate ranged from 0.15% to 0.35% depending on NeoGenomics’ Consolidated Leverage Ratio. The Company also paid customary letter of credit and agency fees.
The Prior Term Loan Facility contained various covenants including entering into certain indebtedness; ability to incur liens and encumbrances; make certain restricted payments, including paying dividends on its equity securities or payments to redeem, repurchase or retire its equity securities; enter into certain burdensome agreements; make investments, loans and acquisitions; merge or consolidate with any other person; dispose of assets; enter into certain sale and leaseback transactions; engage in transactions with its affiliates, and materially alter the business it conducts. In addition, the Company was required to meet certain maximum leverage ratios and fixed charge coverage ratios as of the end of each fiscal quarter.
The Prior Term Loan Facility required the Company to mandatorily prepay the Prior Term Loan Facility and amounts borrowed under the Prior Revolving Credit Facility with (i) 100% of net cash proceeds from certain sales and dispositions, subject to certain reinvestment rights, and (ii) 100% of net cash proceeds from certain issuances or incurrences of additional debt.
Financing Obligations
The Company has entered into loans with various banks to finance the purchase of laboratory equipment, office equipment and leasehold improvements. These loans mature at various dates through 2022 and the weighted average interest rate under such loans was approximately 4.91% as of June 30, 2020 and 4.64% as of December 31, 2019.
