On September 20, 2022, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a term loan agreement, which provided for up to $50 million in aggregate principal to be drawn. The term loan matures on June 1, 2026. The agreement provides for borrowings of up to $30 million upon closing and options to borrow up to $10 million between closing and June 30, 2023, up to $10 million upon the achievement of certain revenue milestones, and an additional $10 million at the discretion of the lender. The Company borrowed $20 million upon closing. Payments on the borrowing are interest-only through June 2024, with additional criteria allowing for interest-only payments to continue through June 2025. Tranches borrowed under the term loan agreement bear interest at the Wall Street Journal prime rate plus 0.5%. The interest rate is subject to a ceiling that restricts the interest rate for each tranche from exceeding 1.0% above the overall rate applicable to each tranche at their respective funding dates. The term loan agreement contains customary representations and warranties as well as customary affirmative and negative covenants. As of the date of this filing, the Company is in compliance with the covenants set forth in the 2022 term loan 3 agreement. In the event that borrowings under 2022 term loan 3 exceed $20 million, the Company will become subject to financial covenants.
