The terms of the Original Loan Agreement provided for two term loans in aggregate of $10,000,000 comprised of a $4,000,000 term loan and a $6,000,000 term loan. In connection with the Merger, the Company assumed and became the borrower under TransEnterix Surgical’s Original Loan Agreement, and agreed to amendments to the Original Loan Agreement, dated as of September 3, 2013 and October 31, 2013, respectively, The Original Loan Agreement had a maturity date of January 1, 2016 and a fixed interest rate of 8.75%.

On September 26, 2014, the Company entered into the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement with the Lenders. Under the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement, the Lenders have agreed to make certain term loans (the “Term Loans”) in an aggregate principal amount of up to $25,000,000. The first tranche increased the Company’s borrowings at September 26, 2014 from $5,604,000 to $10,000,000. Two additional tranches are to be made available as follows. The second tranche of $5,000,000 will be available at any time prior to one year after the closing date when the Company files a 510(k) application for its SurgiBot System, and completes an offering of its equity securities at or above $35 million. The third tranche of $10,000,000, will be made available to the Company at any time prior to two years after the closing date upon recognition of at least $10,000,000 of trailing six-month revenues from the SurgiBot System and SurgiBot-related products. The Company is entitled to make interest-only payments for 12 months from the closing date, which interest-only period is extended to 18 months if the Company receives 510(k) clearance for its SurgiBot System at any time before October 31, 2015.

The Term Loans bear interest at a fixed rate equal to 7.50% per annum, subject to adjustment at funding for subsequent tranches on an increase in LIBOR above a designated rate. The Term Loans will be required to be prepaid if the Term Loans are accelerated following an event of default. In addition, the Company is permitted to prepay the Term Loans in full at any time upon 10 days’ written notice to the Lenders. Upon the earliest to occur of the maturity date, acceleration of the term loans, or prepayment of Term Loans, the Company is required to make a final payment equal to 5.45% of the original principal amount of each Term Loan without the interest-only extension or 6.75% with the interest-only extension (the “Final Payment Fee”). Any prepayment, whether mandatory or voluntary, must include the Final Payment Fee, interest at the default rate (which is the rate otherwise applicable plus 5%) with respect to any amounts past due, and the Lenders’ expenses and all other obligations that are due and payable to the Lenders.

In connection with the entry into the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement, the Company became obligated to make a payment equal to the accrued portion of the 3.33% final payment fee due under the Original Loan Agreement plus a facility fee payment of $75,000. In addition, in connection with the first tranche borrowings, the Company issued warrants to the Lenders to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. Additional warrants will be issued if additional tranche Term Loans are made under the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement. The warrants expire seven years from their respective issue date.

The Amended and Restated Loan Agreement is secured by a security interest in all assets of the Company and its current and future subsidiaries, including a security interest in intellectual property proceeds, but excluding a current security interest in intellectual property. The Amended and Restated Loan Agreement contains customary representations (tested on a continual basis) and covenants that, subject to exceptions, restrict the Company’s ability to do the following things: declare dividends or redeem or repurchase equity interests; incur additional liens; make loans and investments; incur additional indebtedness; engage in mergers, acquisitions, and asset sales; transact with affiliates; undergo a change in control; add or change business locations; and engage in businesses that are not related to its existing business.

In accordance with ASC 470-50 Debt – Modifications and Extinguishments, it was determined that the debt refinancing was considered to be a debt modification. Accordingly, the Company recorded approximately $129,000 of debt discount, consisting of the $75,000 facility fee and the relative fair value of warrants on the issue date of $54,000. Additionally, approximately $30,000 of legal fees were recorded as deferred financing costs. The debt discount and deferred financing costs will be amortized over the life of the new debt agreement using the effective interest method into Interest expense, net.

In conjunction with the Original Loan Agreement, TransEnterix Surgical issued the Lenders warrants to purchase 1,397,939 shares of the TransEnterix Surgical’s Series B-1 Convertible Preferred Stock. The warrants were issued on January 17, 2012 and December 12, 2012 with an initial exercise price of $0.29 per share and expire on January 16, 2022. The warrants were recorded at fair value as a liability on the Company’s balance sheet on the date of issuance and are revalued as of each balance sheet date. The warrants converted to common stock warrants on the Merger date, adjusted based on the Exchange Ratio of 1.1533, and the preferred stock warrant liability was reclassified to additional paid-in capital (see Note 15 Warrants).
