In December 2018, the Company entered into the Loan Agreement by and among the Company, Nabriva Therapeutics Ireland DAC, and certain other subsidiaries of the Company and Hercules Capital, Inc., or Hercules, pursuant to which a term loan of up to an aggregate principal amount of $75.0 million was available to the Company. The Loan Agreement initially provided for an initial term loan advance of $25.0 million, which was funded in December 2018, and, at the Company’s option and subject to the occurrence of certain funding conditions, several additional tranches of which $5.0 million became available upon the approval by the FDA of the NDA for XENLETA, which was drawn down. The other tranches are no longer available as their contingencies were not achieved. The Company may request a term loan advance of $5.0 million, or the Tranche Advance, through the Amortization Date discussed below subject to Hercules’s sole discretion.

The term loan bears interest at an annual rate equal to the greater of 9.80% or 9.80% plus the prime rate of interest minus 5.50%. The Loan Agreement provided for interest-only payments through July 1, 2021 and repayment of the outstanding principal balance of the term loan thereafter in monthly installments through June 1, 2023, or the Maturity Date. In addition, the Company is required to pay a fee of 6.95% of the aggregate amount of advances under

the Loan Agreement at the Maturity Date, or the End of Term Fee. At the Company’s option, the Company may elect to prepay any portion of the outstanding term loan that is greater than or equal to $5.0 million by paying such portion of the principal balance and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon plus a prepayment charge equal to the following percentage of the principal amount being prepaid, or the Prepayment Fee: (i) 3.0% if the term loan is prepaid during the first 12 months following the initial closing, (ii) 2.0% if the term loan is prepaid after 12 months following the initial closing but before 24 months following the initial closing and (iii) 1.0% if the term loan is prepaid any time thereafter but prior to the Maturity Date.

On March 11, 2020, the Company entered into an amendment, or the Third Amendment, to its Loan Agreement with Hercules. Pursuant to the Third Amendment, the Company repaid $30.0 million of the $35.0 million in aggregate principal amount of debt outstanding under the Loan Agreement, or the Prepayment. The Company determined to enter into the Third Amendment following the effectiveness of a performance covenant in February 2020 under which it became obligated to either (1) achieve 80% of its net product revenue sales target over a trailing six-month period, or (2) maintain an amount of cash and cash equivalents in accounts pledged to Hercules plus a specified amount of eligible accounts receivables equal to the greater of the amount outstanding under the Loan Agreement or $40.0 million, or the Liquidity Requirement. Under the Third Amendment, the Company and Hercules agreed to defer the end of term loan charge payment of $2.1 million that would have otherwise become payable on the date of the Prepayment and to reduce the Prepayment Fee with respect to the Prepayment from $600,000 to $300,000 and to defer its payment, in each case, until June 1, 2023 or such earlier date on which all loans under the Loan Agreement are repaid or become due and payable. The Third Amendment also reset the revenue performance covenant to 70% of targeted revenue based on a revised net product revenue forecast and lowered the minimum liquidity requirement to $3.0 million in cash and cash equivalents, in each case, following the Prepayment. The new minimum liquidity requirement will not apply if CONTEPO receives regulatory approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the Company achieves at least 70% of its revised net product revenue targets under the Loan Agreement.

On June 2, 2021, the Company entered into a further amendment, or the Fourth Amendment, to its Loan and Security Agreement with Hercules. Pursuant to the Fourth Amendment, the date on which the Company must commence repaying principal under the Loan Agreement was extended to April 1, 2022, or the Amortization Date, which date may be extended until July 1, 2022, subject to the receipt by the Company of a specified amount of additional net financing proceeds and the achievement of a specified product revenue milestone. Additionally, the time during which the Tranche Advance may be requested by the Company under the Loan Agreement, was extended until the Amortization Date. In addition, pursuant to the Fourth Amendment, the minimum liquidity requirement of $3.0 million in cash and cash equivalents will be waived at any time the Company has recognized $15.0 million of net product revenue during the applicable trailing three months.

The Company’s obligations under the Loan Agreement are guaranteed by all current and future subsidiaries of the Company, and each of the Company and its subsidiaries has granted Hercules a security interest in all of their respective personal property, intellectual property and other assets owned or later acquired. The Loan Agreement also contains certain events of default, representations, warranties and covenants of the Company and its subsidiaries. For example, the Loan Agreement contains representations and covenants that, subject to exceptions, restrict the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ ability to do the following, among other things: declare dividends or redeem or repurchase equity interests; incur additional indebtedness and liens; make loans and investments; engage in mergers, acquisitions and asset sales; certain transactions with affiliates; undergo a change in control; and add or change business locations or settle in cash potential milestone payment obligations that may become payable by the Company in the future to former security holders of Zavante. The Company was in compliance with all of its Loan Agreement covenants at December 31, 2021.

The Loan Agreement also grants Hercules or its nominee an option to purchase up to an aggregate of $2.0 million of the Company’s equity securities, or instruments exercisable for or convertible into equity securities, sold to investors in any private financing upon the same terms and conditions afforded to such other investors for as long as there are amounts outstanding under the Loan Agreement.

The Company incurred $1.3 million of costs in connection with the Loan Agreement which along with the initial fee of $0.7 million paid to Hercules were recorded as debt issuance cost and are being amortized as interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the loan. In connection with the Third Amendment, the

Company recognized a non-cash $2.7 million loss on the extinguishment of debt during the three months ended March 31, 2020 which represented the excess of the reacquisition price of the $30.0 million debt repaid over the net carrying amount of the extinguished debt. The carrying value of the term loan payable at December 31, 2021 includes the present value of the End of Term Fee and the Prepayment Fee. The End of Term Fee on the remaining $5.0 million principal balance is being accrued as additional interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the loan.
