Revolving Line of Credit

Keryx, our wholly owned subsidiary following the Merger, has a $40.0 million revolving line of credit, or the Line of Credit, under its Loan and Security Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank, or SVB. Availability under the Line of Credit is subject to a borrowing base comprised of eligible receivables and eligible inventory of Keryx as set forth in the Loan and Security Agreement. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, there was $0 and $15.0 million outstanding under the Line of Credit and the Company had approximately $20.8 million in available borrowing base as of March 31, 2019.

Proceeds from the Line of Credit may be used for working capital and general business purposes. The Line of Credit is secured by substantially all of Keryx’s assets other than its intellectual property. The Line of Credit restricts Keryx’s ability to grant any interest in its intellectual property other than certain permitted licenses and permitted encumbrances set forth in the Loan and Security Agreement.

The principal amount outstanding under the Loan and Security Agreement bears interest at a floating rate per annum equal to the greater of (i) 2.0% above the “prime rate,” as reported in The Wall Street Journal and (ii) 6.75%, which interest is payable monthly. Principal amounts borrowed under the Line of Credit may be repaid and, prior to the maturity date, re-borrowed, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Loan and Security Agreement. The Line of Credit matures on the date that is the earlier of (i) two years after the effective date of the Loan and Security Agreement and (ii) ninety days prior to the maturity of any portion of any Permitted Convertible Debt, as defined under the Loan and Security Agreement. Upon entry into the Loan and Security Agreement (payable in installments and subject to certain conditions), and at the one year anniversary of the effective date of the Loan and Security Agreement (or, if earlier, upon termination of or an event of default under the Loan and Security Agreement), Keryx must pay to SVB a fee equal to 1.00% of the Line of Credit. Keryx is also required to pay on a quarterly basis a fee equal to 0.25% per annum of the average unused portion of the Line of Credit. Keryx must pay a termination fee of 2.00% of the Line of Credit, if the Loan and Security Agreement is terminated prior to the maturity date, subject to certain exceptions.

The Loan and Security Agreement contains customary covenants applicable to Keryx and its subsidiaries, including maintaining insurance on its business, achievement of minimum revenue amounts, the incurrence of additional indebtedness, and future encumbrances on Keryx’s assets. In addition, the Keryx must maintain a liquidity ratio, defined as (i) the sum of unrestricted and unencumbered cash and cash equivalents maintained at SVB or its affiliates plus net billed accounts receivable divided by (ii) all outstanding obligations and liabilities of Keryx to SVB, including the aggregate amount of Keryx’s obligations to SVB under any business credit cards, of at least 1.5 to 1.0, measured monthly.

Upon an event of default under the Loan and Security Agreement, SVB is entitled to accelerate and demand payment of all amounts outstanding under the Loan and Security Agreement, stop advancing money or extending credit to Keryx, demand that Keryx deposit at least 105% of the face amount of any letters of credit remaining undrawn to secure all obligations thereunder, and exercise other remedies available to SVB under the Loan and Security Agreement and at law or in equity. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company determined that events of default have already occurred, and has not obtained a formal waiver from SVB with respect to these events of default. So long as these events of default are not waived or otherwise resolved, SVB has the right to take any of the foregoing remedies, including denying access to the Line of Credit. These events of default have no impact on the Company’s liquidity, as the Company’s operating plan and cash forecast assumes no future borrowings under the Line of Credit. There were no amounts outstanding under the Line of Credit as of March 31, 2019.

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company recognized approximately $0.3 million of interest expense related to the Line of Credit. The Company did not incur any amortization expense related to the origination fee and other additional fees noted above as such fees were included in the fair value of the Line of Credit as of December 12, 2018, the date of which the Merger was consummated, in accordance with ASC 805.
