Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

On June 28, 2019, Humanigen, Inc. (the “Company”) made three short-term, secured bridge notes (the “Notes”) evidencing an aggregate of $1.7 million of loans made to the Company by three parties: Cheval Holdings, Ltd., an affiliate of Black Horse Capital, L.P., the Company’s controlling stockholder, lent $750,000; Nomis Bay LTD, the Company’s second largest stockholder, lent $750,000; and Cameron Durrant, M.D., MBA, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors, lent $200,000. The proceeds from the Notes will be used to satisfy certain unsecured obligations incurred in connection with the Company’s emergence from bankruptcy in 2016 and for working capital and general corporate purposes.

The Notes bear interest at a rate of 7.0% per annum and will mature on October 1, 2019. The Notes may become due and payable at such earlier time as the Company raises more than $3,000,000 in a bona fide financing transaction or upon a change in control. The Notes are secured by liens of substantially all of the Company’s assets.

Upon an event of default, which events include, but are not limited to, (1) the Company failing to timely pay any monetary obligation under the Notes; (2) the Company failing to pay its debts generally as they become due and (3) the Company commencing any proceeding relating to the Company under any bankruptcy reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, readjustment of debt, dissolution or liquidation or similar laws of any jurisdiction now or hereafter in effect, the interest payable on the Notes increases to 10.0% per annum. Further, upon certain events of default, all payments and obligations due and owed under the Notes shall immediately become due and payable without demand and without notice to the Company.
