Loan Agreement

On October 30, 2015, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (Prior Loan Agreement) with two lenders whereby it borrowed $18.0 million (the Initial Loans). Balances under the Prior Loan Agreement were due in monthly principal and interest payments, with final maturity of the Initial Loans in May 2019. Each Initial Loan included a final payment fee of 7.95% of the original principal amount due upon maturity.

On May 18, 2018, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement with the two lenders, which was further amended on August 3, 2018 (the Loan Agreement), pursuant to which the lenders agreed to lend the Company $26.5 million as term loans (the Term Loans). Of the total proceeds, $8.6 million was applied to the repayment of outstanding principal, interest and final payment owed pursuant to the Initial Loans.

The Company evaluated the Loan Agreement in accordance with ASC Topic 470, which requires assessment of whether the modification is considered a substantial modification, in which case the modification would be accounted for as a debt extinguishment. Based on the Company’s evaluation, the Loan Agreement was considered substantial and therefore the unamortized discount associated with the Prior Loan Agreement was written off through interest expense and the principal balance of the Prior Loan Agreement was written off.    

The Term Loans will mature on December 1, 2022 (the Maturity Date) and the Company will have interest-only payments through January 1, 2020, followed by 36 equal monthly payments of principal and interest; provided that the Term Loans will be interest-only (and the number of principal and interest payments will be correspondingly reduced) through (i) July 1, 2020 if the Company submits a Biologics License Application (BLA) for the Company’s product candidate, Toca 511 & Toca FC, to the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) prior to January 1, 2020, but not yet received FDA approval of such BLA prior to July 1, 2020 and (ii) January 1, 2021 if following such BLA submission to the FDA prior to January 1, 2020, the Company receives FDA approval of such BLA prior to July 1, 2020.

The Term Loans bear interest at a floating per annum rate equal to the greater of (i) 8.50% and (ii) the sum of (a) the prime rate reported in the Wall Street Journal on the last business day of the month that immediately proceeds the month in which the interest will accrue, plus (b) 3.75%. The Company will be required to make a final payment of 7.95% of the principal amount of the Term Loans payable on the earlier of (i) the Maturity Date, (ii) the acceleration of any Term Loans, or (iii) the prepayment of the Term Loans. The Company may prepay all, but not less than all, of the Term Loans upon 10 days written notice provided the Company will be obligated to pay a prepayment fee equal to (i) 3.00% of the principal amount of the applicable Term Loan prepaid on or before the first anniversary of the effective date of the Loan Agreement, (ii) 2.00% of the principal amount of the applicable Term Loan prepaid on or before the second anniversary of the effective date of the Loan Agreement, and (iii) 1.00% of the principal amount of the applicable Term Loan prepaid thereafter, but prior to the Maturity Date.

In conjunction with the Loan Agreement, the Company issued the lenders warrants exercisable for 56,578 shares of common stock (the Warrants). The Warrants are exercisable in whole or in part, immediately, and have a per share exercise price of $9.35. The Warrants will terminate on the earlier of May 18, 2028 or the closing of a certain merger or consolidation transaction. The Company recorded the Warrants as a debt discount, which is a contra-liability against debt, and is amortizing the balance over the life of the underlying debt. The offset to the contra-liability is recorded as additional paid in capital in the Company’s balance sheet as the Warrants were determined to be an equity instrument. The Company determined the fair value of the Warrants at the date of issuance was $0.5 million using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) with an expected term of 10 years, volatility of 85.6%, risk free rate of 3.1% and expected dividend of 0%.  

The costs incurred to issue the Term Loans of $0.1 million were deferred and are included in the discount to the carrying value of the Term Loans in the accompanying balance sheet. The deferred costs and the final payment fee are amortized to interest expense over the expected term of the Term Loans using the effective interest method with an effective interest rate of 10.7%.

The Term Loans are secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets other than its intellectual property, except rights to payment from the sale, licensing or disposition of such intellectual property. The Company is also required to maintain its primary operating accounts at all times with one of the lenders. The Loan Agreement contains customary conditions of borrowing, events of default and covenants, including covenants that restrict the Company’s ability to dispose of assets, merge with or acquire other entities, incur indebtedness and make distributions to holders of its capital stock. Should an event of default occur, including the occurrence of a material adverse change, the Company could be liable for immediate repayment of all obligations under the Loan Agreement. As of March 31, 2019, the Company was in compliance with the covenants contained in the Loan Agreement.

Future maturities of the Term Loans, including the final payment fee, as of March 31, 2019 are as follows (in thousands):
