Note 10: Long-term loan, net of discount and issuance costs

 

On February 7, 2018, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (“2018 Loan Agreement”) with BioPharma Credit PLC pursuant to which such lender made a term loan to the Company in the principal amount of $150 million (the “2018 Credit Facility”). The term loan, which was drawn in full upon execution of the 2018 Loan Agreement, bears interest at 9.0% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears. The Company used a portion of the proceeds of the 2018 Credit Facility to repay in full the Company’s obligations under its then-existing term loan credit facility and is using the remaining proceeds to fund general corporate purposes.

 

The 2018 Credit Facility will mature on February 7, 2023, at which time any unpaid principal and accrued unpaid interest in respect of the term loan will be due and payable. The Company may prepay the term loan, in full, at any time. The Company must prepay the term loan (i) in full or in part upon the entry into certain licensing arrangements and (ii) in full in the event of a change of control. In each case, any prepayment (whether permitted or mandatory) is subject to a prepayment premium and/or make-whole payment. The pre-payment fee if the Company prepays outstanding loan amounts prior to February 7, 2021 is 2.0% and is 1.0% if made after the February 7, 2021 but prior to February 7, 2022.

All obligations under the 2018 Credit Facility are guaranteed by the Company’s current and future direct and indirect subsidiaries. In addition, the obligations under the 2018 Credit Facility are secured by a first-priority security interest in substantially all of the property and assets of, as well as the equity interests owned by, the Company and certain of the other guarantors. The 2018 Credit Facility contains other customary covenants.

Total net issuance costs of the 2018 Credit Facility, which were $731 as of December 31, 2018, are presented net of the 2018 Credit Facility proceeds and are amortized to interest expense over the five year term of the loan using the effective interest method.

On February 7, 2018, the Company’s 2015 term loan credit facility was terminated upon the Company’s repayment in full of the term loan issued thereunder. The un-amortized discount in the amount of $1,160 and issuance costs in the amount of $1,399 were fully amortized and included in the Company’s finance expenses in the first quarter of 2018.
