On April 13, 2021, the Company and Inotiv - Boulder HTL, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (”Inotiv – Boulder HTL”), entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with HistoTox Labs, Inc., a Colorado corporation (the “HistoTox Labs”), and its stockholder. On April 30, 2021, the Company closed the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, indirectly acquiring (the “HistoTox Labs Acquisition”) substantially all of the assets of HistoTox Labs used or useful by HistoTox Labs in connection with HistoTox Labs’ business of non-clinical consulting, laboratory and strategic support services and products related to routine and specialized histology, immunohistology, histopathology and image analysis/digital pathology. Consideration for the HistoTox Labs Acquisition consisted of $22.0 million in cash, subject to certain adjustments and inclusive of a $1.65 million escrow for purposes of securing any amounts payable by the selling parties on account of indemnification obligations and other amounts payable under the Purchase Agreement. In addition, Inotiv – Boulder HTL assumed certain specified liabilities of HistoTox Labs.

On April 15, 2021, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Rock Mergeco, Inc., a Colorado corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, Inotiv Boulder, LLC, an Indiana limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Inotiv Boulder”), Bolder BioPATH, Inc., a Colorado corporation (“Bolder BioPATH”), and the holders of all of the outstanding common shares of Bolder BioPATH (the “Selling Shareholders”). On April 30, 2021, the Company closed (the “Closing”) the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and the merger under the Merger Agreement was consummated on May 3, 2021 (the “Merger”). Following the Merger, Inotiv Boulder, as the surviving wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, serves as a contract pharmacology and pathology company specializing in in vivo models of rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and inflammatory bowel disease as well as other autoimmune and inflammation models.

As of the Closing, the Company paid consideration to the Selling Shareholders, consisting of (i) $18.5 million in cash, subject to customary purchase price adjustments and inclusive of $1.25 million being held in escrow for purposes of securing any amounts payable by the selling parties on account of indemnification obligations, purchase price adjustments, and other amounts payable under the Merger Agreement, (ii) 1,588,235 of the Company’s common shares and (iii) seller notes in an aggregate principal amount of $1.5 million.

On April 23, 2021, the Company closed an underwritten public offering of 3,044,117 of its common shares, including 397,058 common shares sold pursuant to the full exercise by the underwriter of its option to purchase additional shares to cover over-allotments. All of the shares were sold at a price to the public of $17.00 per share. Net proceeds to the Company from the offering were approximately $49.0 million, after deducting the underwriting discount and estimated offering expenses, a portion of which net proceeds were used to fund parts of the cash consideration under the HistoTox Labs Acquisition and the Merger.

 

On April 30, 2021, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with First Internet Bank of Indiana (“FIB”) to, among other things, secure additional debt financing in order to fund portions of the consideration for the HistoTox Labs Acquisition and the Merger, respectively. The Credit Agreement includes eleven term loans (the “Term Loans” ), an equipment draw loan (the “Equipment Loan”), and a revolving line of credit (the “Revolving Facility”). The terms of each such loans are set forth below. The obligations of the Company under the Credit Agreement are secured by all of the assets of the Company and are guaranteed by each of its subsidiaries and secured by the assets thereof.

The Revolving Facility requires monthly accrued and unpaid interest payments only until maturity at a floating per annum rate equal to the greater of (a) 4%, or (b) the sum of the Prime Rate plus Zero Basis Points (0.0%), which rate shall change concurrently with the Prime Rate.  The Company did not have an outstanding balance on the Revolving Facility as of the effective date of the Credit Agreement.

(d) Mandatory Prepayments.

 

Commencing with the fiscal year ending September 30, 2021 and for each fiscal year thereafter until the Term Loan 9 and/or Term Loan 10, in each case, are paid in full, the Company shall prepay Term Loan 9 and Term Loan 10 on a pro rata basis on the following January 31st, in an amount equal to 50% of the excess cash flow of the Company (as defined in the Credit Agreement) for such fiscal year (in each case, an “Excess Cash Flow Payment”), provided that for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2021 the Excess Cash Flow Payment, if any, shall be calculated only for the period from April 30, 2021 through September 30, 2021. Excess Cash Flow shall be calculated for each fiscal year based on (a) the Company’s adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement), minus (b) cash interest expense, minus (c) cash taxes paid or cash distributions made for payment of taxes, minus (d) principal payments paid in respect of long-term indebtedness (excluding any principal reduction on Term Loan 9 or Term Loan 10, in each case, with respect to Excess Cash Flow and excluding principal payments on the Revolving Facility), minus (e) capital expenditures not funded by advances under the Equipment Loan as specified under the Credit Agreement.

 

Upon an event of default, which includes certain customary events such as, among other things, a failure to make required payments when due, a failure to comply with covenants, certain bankruptcy and insolvency events, and defaults under other material indebtedness, FIB may cease advancing funds, increase the interest rate on outstanding balances, accelerate amounts outstanding, terminate the agreement and foreclose on all collateral. The Company has also obtained a life insurance policy in an amount not less than $5.0 million for its President and Chief Executive Officer and  provided FIB an assignment of such life insurance policy as collateral.

 

In addition to the financing arrangements described above, the Company has secured a commitment for approximately $5.0 million of additional debt financing from FIB to be used in connection with the exercise of the Company’s option to buy our St. Louis facility for approximately $4.7 million and to complete associated expansion, contingent on the Company’s receipt of related business incentives.
