Item 1.01.   Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On December 30, 2005, Favrille, Inc. (“Favrille” or the “Company”) entered into a loan and security agreement (the “Master Security Agreement”) with General Electric Capital Corporation (“GECC”) and a third amendment to the existing loan and security agreement (the “Amended Security Agreement”) with Oxford Finance Corporation (“Oxford”), under which the lenders have agreed to extend to the Company a line of credit equal to a maximum of $20.0 million.  Approximately $3 million was borrowed against the line of credit on December 30, 2005  to repay the Company’s existing debt.  It is a condition to the Company’s ability to borrow the approximately $17 million remaining available under the line of credit that the Company obtain at least $20 million in additional equity financing by March 31, 2006.  Of such $17 million, Favrille expects that approximately $13 million will be used to finance certain leasehold improvements and equipment for the expansion of the Company’s facility for commercial manufacturing and $4 million will be used for additional equipment and software. Borrowings under the line of credit can be made against qualified purchases of eligible equipment and certain leasehold improvements through December 2007.  Such borrowings are to be secured by all existing and future assets of the Company excluding intellectual property and repaid over 36 to 42 months, depending upon the nature of the equipment financed.  In addition, the Company has agreed not to pledge its intellectual property to any third party or permit a third party to restrict the Company’s ability to pledge its intellectual property.  However, the Company retains the right to grant non-exclusive licenses of its intellectual property in the ordinary course of business and non-exclusive and exclusive licenses of its intellectual property in connection with joint ventures and corporate collaborations in the ordinary course of business.

 

The draws against the line of credit will be structured as promissory notes with the interest rate fixed at the time of each draw based on the three-year treasury bill.  The agreements provide for various restrictive covenants and a loan facility fee of $100,000 ($50,000 to each lender).  Of the $100,000 fee, $50,000 is deemed earned by the lenders.  The remaining $50,000 will be offset against the first monthly payment for the first promissory notes. The agreements contain a financial restrictive covenant requiring that the Company maintain a minimum of $15 million in available cash, cash equivalent and short-term investment accounts. If the combined balance of these accounts falls below the required amount, the Company must post a standby letter of credit equal to 100% of the outstanding balances on the promissory notes.   In connection with this line of credit, the Company issued GECC and Oxford warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 97,668 shares of Favrille’s common stock (48,834 shares to each lender) at an exercise price of approximately $4.10 per share.  The warrants are exercisable through December 30, 2010.

 

Under the terms of the Master Security Agreement and Amended Security Agreement (collectively, the “Financing Agreements”), the line of credit was contingent upon the repayment of the outstanding borrowings of approximately $3 million under the Company’s March 2003 loan and security agreement with GE Technology Finance and Lighthouse Capital Partners (the “March 2003 Agreement”).  Accordingly, on December 30, 2005, the Company issued promissory notes to GECC and Oxford in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $3 million (approximately $1.5 million to each lender) to satisfy the outstanding borrowings of the March 2003 Agreement.  Payments under the promissory notes entered into on December 30, 2005

Favrille Completes Debt Financing to Fund Commercial Manufacturing Facility

 

San Diego – Jan. 6, 2006 – Favrille, Inc. (Nasdaq: FVRL), a biopharmaceutical company developing patient-specific immunotherapies for the treatment of cancer, announced today that it has secured a $20 million line of credit through loan and security agreements with General Electric Capital Corporation (GECC) and Oxford Financial Corporation (Oxford). The debt financing will be used primarily to fund the Company’s recently announced facility expansion to support commercial-scale manufacturing of FavId®, Favrille’s lead product candidate currently in a Phase 3 clinical trial for the treatment of follicular B-cell non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL).

 

“This transaction is another significant accomplishment as we prepare for the commercial launch of FavId,” said Tamara A. Seymour, Chief Financial Officer and Vice President, Finance and Administration of Favrille. “As we announced in November, we negotiated an amended lease agreement to expand our current facility for commercial manufacturing at an estimated cost of only $24 million. Now we have completed a debt financing with very favorable terms. We believe that our traditional debt financing and landlord improvement allowances will enable us to complete a large-scale, patient-specific commercial manufacturing facility without utilizing any proceeds from equity offerings.”

 

Favrille expects that the capacity of its expanded facility, including 80,000 square feet dedicated exclusively to manufacturing, will be sufficient to supply FavId for up to 4,000 patients per year. The cost of this expansion, including laboratory and manufacturing equipment, is estimated at $24 million, of which the landlord will provide approximately $11 million in the form of a tenant improvement allowance. The Company expects to use $13 million of its $20 million line of credit to fund the additional capital expenditures. Favrille intends to use the remaining $7 million available under the line of credit for additional equipment, software and refinancing of existing debt, including approximately $3 million that was borrowed against the line of credit on December 30, 2005.

 

For a description of the material terms of the line of credit, please refer to Favrille’s current report on Form 8-K filed today.
