Term Loans

Loan and Security Agreement

On September 8, 2023 (the “Effective Date”), the Company entered into a loan agreement (the “Loan and Security Agreement”) with Hercules Capital, Inc. and its managed fund (collectively, the “Lenders"), pursuant to which the Lenders have agreed to make available to Senseonics up to $50.0 million in senior secured term loans (the “Term Loan Facility”), consisting of (i) an initial term loan of $25.0 million (the “Tranche 1 Loan”), which was funded on the Effective Date and (ii) two additional tranches of term loans in the amounts of up to $10.0 million (the “Tranche 2 Loan”) and $15.0 million (the “Tranche 3 Loan”), respectively, which will become available to Senseonics upon Senseonics’ satisfaction of certain terms and conditions set forth in the Loan and Security Agreement. In December 2023, the Company met the terms and conditions to draw on Tranche 2 Loan and the loan was funded on January 2, 2024 in an amount of $10.0 million. The loans under the Loan and Security Agreement mature on September 1, 2027 (the “Maturity Date”).

The loans under the Loan and Security Agreement bear interest at an annual rate equal to the greater of (i) the prime rate as reported in The Wall Street Journal plus 1.40% and (ii) 9.90%. Borrowings under the Loan and Security Agreement are repayable in monthly interest-only payments through (a) initially, September 1, 2026 and (b) if the Company satisfies the Interest Only Extension Conditions (as defined in the Loan and Security Agreement), the Maturity Date. After the interest-only payment period, borrowings under the Loan and Security Agreement are repayable in equal monthly payments of principal and accrued interest until the Maturity Date.

At the Company’s option, the Company may prepay all or any portion of the outstanding borrowings under the Loan and Security Agreement, subject to a prepayment fee equal to (a) 3.0% of the principal amount being prepaid if the prepayment occurs within one year of the Effective Date, 2.0% of the principal amount being prepaid if the prepayment occurs during the second year following the Effective Date, and 1.00% of the principal amount being prepaid if the prepayment occurs more than two years after the Effective Date and prior to the Maturity Date. In addition, the Company paid a $375,000 facility fee upon closing and will pay additional facility charges in connection with any borrowing of the Tranche 2 Loan or Tranche 3 Loan, in each case in the amount of 0.50% of the amount of such tranche of loans. The Loan and Security Agreement also provides for an end of term fee in an amount equal to 6.95% of the aggregate principal amount of loan advances actually made under the Loan and Security Agreement, which fee is due and payable on the earliest to occur of (i) the Maturity Date, (ii) the date the Company prepays the outstanding loans in full, and (iii) the date that the secured obligations become due and payable. The end of term fee is accreted to interest expense over the term of the loans.

The Company’s obligations under the Loan and Security Agreement are secured, by a first-priority security interest in substantially all of its assets. The Loan and Security Agreement contains a minimum cash covenant that requires the Company to hold unrestricted cash equal to 30% of the outstanding loan amount under the Loan and

Security Agreement. The Loan and Security Agreement also contains a performance covenant, commencing on July 1, 2024, that requires the Company to generate net product revenue on a trailing six-month basis in excess of specified percentage for applicable measuring periods, subject to certain exceptions.

In addition, the Loan and Security Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and customary affirmative and negative covenants, including, among other things, restrictions on indebtedness, liens, investments, mergers, corporate changes, dispositions, prepayment of other indebtedness, and dividends and other distributions, subject to certain exceptions. The Loan and Security Agreement also contains events of default including, among other things, payment defaults, breach of covenants, material adverse effect, breach of representations and warranties, cross-default to material indebtedness, bankruptcy-related defaults, judgment defaults, revocation of certain government approvals, and the occurrence of certain adverse events. Following an event of default and any applicable cure period, a default interest rate equal to the then-applicable interest rate plus 4.0% may be applied to the outstanding amount, and the Lenders will have the right to accelerate all amounts outstanding under the Loan and Security Agreement, in addition to other remedies available to them as secured creditors of the Company.

In addition, in connection with the issuance of the Tranche 1 Loan, the Company issued warrants to the Lenders (collectively, the “Warrants”) to acquire an aggregate of 832,362 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.6007 per share (the “Warrant Shares”). The Warrants may be exercised through the earlier of (i) the seventh anniversary of the Effective Date and (ii) the consummation of certain acquisition transactions involving the Company, as set forth in the Warrants. The number of Warrant Shares for which the Warrants are exercisable and the associated exercise price are subject to certain customary proportional adjustments for fundamental events, including stock splits and reverse stock splits, as set forth in the Warrants. The proceeds from the Loan and Security Agreement were allocated between the Tranche 1 Loan and the Warrants based on their respective fair value of $25.0 million and $0.4 million, and the amount allocated to the Warrants was recorded in equity resulting in a debt discount to the Tranche 1 Loan that is being amortized as additional interest expense over the term of the Loan and Security Agreement using the effective interest method. On January 2, 2024, in connection with the issuance of the Tranche 2 Loan the Company issued additional warrants to the Lenders (collectively, the Tranche 2 Warrants”) to acquire an aggregate of 347,887 shares at an exercise price of $0.5749 per share (the “Tranche 2 Warrant Shares”).

In connection with Loan and Security Agreement, the Company incurred $1.1 million in debt issuance costs and debt discounts which are netted against the principal balance of the initial term loan and amortized as interest expense over the term of the initial term loan using an effective interest rate of 12.92%.

Pursuant to the Loan and Security Agreement, the Company also agreed to issue additional seven year term warrants upon the funding of the Tranche 3 Loan, which warrants would be exercisable for an aggregate number of shares equal to 2.0% of the funded loan amount divided by the exercise price equal to the three-day volume-weighted average price at the time of each advance.

Convertible Preferred Stock and Warrants

Securities Purchase Agreement

On March 13, 2023, pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement with PHC, the Company issued and sold to PHC in a private placement a warrant (the “Purchase Warrant”) to purchase 15,425,750 shares of common stock (the “Purchase Warrant Shares”). The Purchase Warrant is a “pre-funded” warrant with a nominal exercise price of $0.001 per Purchase Warrant Share. On the Private Placement Closing Date, the Company received aggregate gross proceeds of $15.0 million, before deducting private placement expenses payable by the Company. All or any part of the Purchase Warrant is exercisable by the holder at any time and from time to time.

The Company determined that the Purchase Warrant shall be classified as equity in accordance with ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity and ASC Topic 815. At issuance, the Company recorded the estimated fair value of the Purchase Warrant in the amount of $14.3 million as additional paid-in-capital in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

Because PHC was an existing stockholder of the Company at the time of the transaction, the $0.7 million excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the Purchase Warrant was recognized as an equity transaction and recorded as a capital contribution made by PHC to the Company as additional paid-in-capital in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

Additionally, on March 13, 2023, the Company entered into the Exchange Agreement with PHC, pursuant to which PHC agreed to exchange (the “PHC Exchange”) its $35.0 million aggregate principal amount of the PHC Notes, including all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, for a warrant (the “PHC Exchange Warrant”) to purchase up to 68,525,311 shares of common stock (the “PHC Exchange Warrant Shares”). The PHC Exchange Warrant is a “pre-funded” warrant with a nominal exercise price of $0.001 per PHC Exchange Warrant Share. All or any part of the PHC Exchange Warrant is exercisable by the holder at any time and from time to time. The number of PHC Exchange Warrant Shares represents the number of shares of common stock previously issuable upon conversion of the PHC Notes, in accordance with the original terms of the notes, including a number of shares in respect of accrued and unpaid interest through the closing date, plus additional shares with a value of $675,000 reflecting a portion of the future interest payments forgone by PHC. On March 31, 2023 (6:00 am Japan Standard Time on April 1, 2023), the PHC Exchange was consummated, and the Company issued the PHC Exchange Warrant in consideration for the cancellation of the PHC Notes.

The Company determined that the PHC Exchange Warrant shall be classified as equity in accordance with ASC 480 and ASC 815. At March 31, 2023, the Company recorded the estimated fair value of the PHC Exchange Warrant in the amount of $48.6 million as additional paid-in-capital in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

As of March 31, 2024, the Purchase Warrant and the PHC Exchange Warrant remained unexercised and outstanding. As they are prefunded warrants, the Company included the entirety of the warrant shares as weighted average outstanding shares in the calculation of its basic earnings per share.

Convertible Notes

PHC Notes

On August 9, 2020, the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the “Note Purchase Agreement”) with PHC, as the purchaser (together with the other purchasers from time-to-time party thereto, the “Note Purchasers”) and Alter Domus (US) LLC, as collateral agent. Pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement, the Company borrowed $35.0 million in aggregate principal through the issuance and sale of the PHC Notes on August 14, 2020 (the “Closing Date”). The Company also issued 2,941,176 shares of its common stock, $0.001 par value per share to PHC as a financing fee (the “Financing Fee Shares”) on the Closing Date. The Financing Fee Shares are accounted for as debt discount in the amount of $1.5 million.

The PHC Notes were senior secured obligations of the Company and were guaranteed on a senior secured basis by the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Senseonics, Incorporated. Interest at the initial annual rate of 9.5% is payable semi-annually in cash or, at the Company’s option, payment in kind. The interest rate decreased to 8.0% in April 2022 as a result of the Company having obtained FDA approval for the 180-day Eversense E3 system for marketing in the United States. The maturity date for the PHC Notes was October 31, 2024 (the “Maturity Date”). The obligations under the PHC Notes were secured by substantially all of the Company’s and its subsidiary’s assets.

Each $1,000 of principal of the PHC Notes (including any interest added thereto as payment in kind) was convertible into 1,901.7956 of shares of the Company’s stock, equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $0.53 per share, subject to specified anti-dilution adjustments, including adjustments for the Company’s issuance of equity securities on or prior to April 30, 2022 below the conversion price. In addition, following a notice of redemption or certain corporate events that occurred prior to the maturity date, the Company would have been required to pay cash in lieu of delivering make whole shares unless the Company obtained stockholder approval to issue such shares.

Subject to specified conditions, on or after October 31, 2022, the PHC Notes would have become redeemable by the Company if the closing sale price of the common stock were to exceed 275% of the conversion price for a specified period of time and subject to certain conditions upon 10 days prior written notice at a cash redemption price equal to the then outstanding principal amount (including any payment in kind interest which has been added to such amount), plus any accrued but unpaid interest. On or after October 31, 2023, the PHC Notes would have become redeemable by the Company upon 10 days prior written notice at a cash redemption price equal to the then outstanding principal amount (including any payment in kind interest which had been added to such amount), plus any accrued but unpaid interest, plus a call premium of 130% if redeemed at least six months prior to the Maturity Date or a call premium of 125% if redeemed within six months of the Maturity Date.

The Note Purchase Agreement contained customary terms and covenants, including financial covenants, such as operating within an approved budget and achieving minimum revenue and liquidity targets, and negative covenants, such as limitations on indebtedness, liens, mergers, asset transfers, certain investing activities and other matters customarily restricted in such agreements. Most of these restrictions were subject to certain minimum thresholds and exceptions. The Note Purchase Agreement also contained customary events of default, after which the PHC Notes would have become due and payable immediately, including defaults related to payment compliance, material inaccuracy of representations and warranties, covenant compliance, material adverse changes, bankruptcy and insolvency proceedings, cross defaults to certain other agreements, judgments against the Company, change of control or delisting events, termination of any guaranty, governmental approvals, and lien priority.

The Company also had the option to sell and issue PHC up to $15.0 million of convertible preferred stock on or before December 31, 2022 (the “PHC Option”), which was initially contingent upon obtaining FDA approval for the 180-day Eversense product for marketing in the United States before such date, and which approval the Company successfully obtained in February 2022. The PHC option was not exercised and expired on December 31, 2022 and the Company recognized a loss on extinguishment of $0.1 million.

The Note Purchase Agreement also contained several provisions requiring bifurcation as a separate derivative liability including an embedded conversion feature, mandatory prepayment upon event of default that constitutes a breach of the minimum revenue financial covenant, optional redemption upon an event of default, change in interest rate after PMA approval and default interest upon an event of default. On the date of issuance, the Company recorded the fair value of the embedded features in the amount of $25.8 million as a derivative liability in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets in accordance with ASC 815. The derivative was adjusted to fair value at each reporting period, with the change in the fair value recorded in change in fair value of derivatives that is a component of other income (expense) in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.

In connection with the issuance of the PHC Notes, the Company incurred $2.9 million in debt issuance costs and debt discounts. The associated debt issuance costs were recorded as a contra liability in the amount of $1.4 million and were deferred and amortized as additional interest expense over the term of the notes at an effective interest rate of 29.19%. There were no conversions of the PHC Notes prior to the exchange of the PHC Notes for the PHC Exchange Warrant described above.

As described above, the PHC Exchange Agreement with PHC was consummated on March 31, 2023, whereby PHC exchanged the PHC Notes in $35.0 million principal amount and all accrued and unpaid interest for the PHC Exchange Warrant. On March 31, 2023, the Company was released from its obligation under the PHC Notes.

Upon execution of the PHC Exchange Agreement, the exercise of the original conversion feature of the PHC Notes became remote. Accordingly, the Company remeasured the embedded derivative to its fair value of $0. The Company recognized a change in fair value of the embedded derivative of $44.2 million in the caption “Exchange related gain (loss), net” that is a component of other income (expense) in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.

The Company accounted for the PHC Exchange as an extinguishment of the PHC Notes, and thus, it derecognized the PHC Notes in its consolidated balance sheets and recognized a loss of $25.4 million as the difference between the carrying value plus accrued interest of the PHC Notes of $23.2 million and the $48.6 million fair value of

the PHC Exchange Warrant as an extinguishment loss in the caption “Exchange related gain, net” that is a component of other income (expense) in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. As a result of the PHC Exchange, the Company recognized a total net gain on exchange of the PHC notes of $18.8 million representing the gain on change in the fair value of the PHC Notes conversion feature recognized as an embedded derivative and the loss on extinguishment of the PHC Notes in exchange for the PHC Exchange Warrant.

2025 Notes

In July 2019, the Company issued $82.0 million in aggregate principal amount of senior convertible notes that will mature on January 15, 2025 (the “2025 Notes”), unless earlier repurchased or converted. The 2025 Notes are convertible, at the option of the holders, into shares of the Company’s common stock, at an initial conversion rate of 757.5758 shares per $1,000 principal amount of the 2025 Notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $1.32 per share).

The 2025 Notes also contained an embedded conversion option requiring bifurcation as a separate derivative liability, along with the fundamental change make-whole provision and the cash settled fundamental make-whole shares provision. The derivative is adjusted to fair value at each reporting period, with the change in the fair value recorded to other income (expense) in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.

On April 21, 2020, $24.0 million aggregate principal of the Company’s outstanding 2025 Notes held by Highbridge Capital Management, LLC (“Highbridge”) were settled pursuant to an exchange agreement. Between September 3, 2020 and January 27, 2021, $6.8 million in aggregate principal of the 2025 Notes were converted into 5,152,259 shares of common stock. Accordingly $3.2 million of allocated deferred issuance costs and debt discounts were recognized as a loss on extinguishment of debt.

On August 10, 2023, the Company entered into separate, privately negotiated exchange agreements (the “Exchange Agreements”) with a limited number of holders (the “Noteholders”) of the Company’s currently outstanding 2025 Notes. Under the terms of the Exchange Agreements, the Noteholders agreed to exchange with the Company (the “Exchanges”) up to $30.8 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Notes (the “Exchanged Notes”) for a combination of $7.5 million of cash and newly issued shares of common stock (the “Exchange Shares”). The number of Exchange Shares was determined based upon the volume-weighted average price per share of the common stock during a 15-day averaging period commencing on August 11, 2023 and ending August 31, 2023.  Based on the volume-weighted average price per share of the common stock during the averaging period, a total of 35.1 million shares of common stock were issued in the Exchanges. The Exchanges were settled on the initial share issuance date of August 14, 2023 and the final settlement date of September 5, 2023.

The Company accounted for the Exchanges as an extinguishment of the Exchanged Notes and the associated embedded derivative and recognized a loss of $4.6 million in the caption “Exchange related gain (loss), net” that is a component of other income (expense) in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. The extinguishment loss represents the difference between (i) the carrying value of the Exchanged Notes (inclusive of the fair value of the embedded derivative) and (ii) the sum of $7.5 million cash payment, the fair value of the Exchanged Shares, and transaction costs incurred in the Exchange.

Following the Exchanges, approximately $20.4 million aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Notes remain outstanding. The remaining unamortized debt discount and debt issuance costs are amortized as interest expense over the term of the loan at an effective interest rate of 15.54%. The fair value of the derivative at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was $0.1 million.

2023 Notes

In the first quarter of 2018, the Company issued $53.0 million in aggregate principal amount of senior convertible notes due February 1, 2023 (the “2023 Notes”). In July 2019, the Company used the net proceeds from the issuance of the 2025 Notes to repurchase $37.0 million aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 2023 Notes. Each $1,000 of principal of the 2023 Notes is initially convertible into 294.1176 shares of the Company’s common stock,

which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $3.40 per share, subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of specified events. Holders may convert at any time prior to February 1, 2023. Holders who convert on or after the date that is six months after the last date of original issuance of the 2023 Notes but prior to February 1, 2021, may also be entitled to receive, under certain circumstances, an interest make-whole payment payable in shares of common stock. If specific corporate events occur prior to the maturity date, the Company will increase the conversion rate pursuant to the make-whole fundamental change provision for a holder who elects to convert their 2023 Notes in connection with such an event in certain circumstances. Additionally, if a fundamental change occurs prior to the maturity date, holders of the 2023 Notes may require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of their 2023 Notes for cash at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest.

The Company bifurcated the embedded conversion option, along with the interest make-whole provision and make-whole fundamental change provision, and in January 2018 recorded the embedded features as a debt discount and derivative liability in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets at its initial fair value of $17.3 million. Additionally, the Company incurred transaction costs of $2.2 million. The debt discount and transaction costs are being amortized to interest expense over the term of the 2023 Notes at an effective interest rate of 9.30%. The derivative is adjusted to fair value at each reporting period, with the change in the fair value recorded to other income (expense) in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. On January 31, 2023, the Company repaid the outstanding principal and accrued interest in full. The derivative was unexercised upon maturity and the fair value in the amount of $0.02 million was recognized as an extinguishment gain in the caption “Other income (expense)” in Company’s consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.
