Exhibit 4.12.1

First Amendment to Warrant Certificate
 
This First Amendment to Warrant Certificate, dated as of February 21, 2023 (this “Amendment”), is entered into by and among Trinity Biotech PLC, a public limited company organized and existing under the laws of Ireland (the “Company”) and Perceptive Credit Holdings III, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Holder”).
 
Recitals
 
Whereas, the Company issued to the Holder that certain Warrant To Purchase American Depositary Shares represented by American Depositary Receipts, dated as of January 27, 2022, (the “Existing Warrant” and, the Existing Warrant as amended by this Amendment, the “Warrant”).  Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Warrant.
 
Whereas, in connection with that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and Guaranty, dated as of February 21, 2023 (the “Credit Agreement”), by and among Trinity Biotech, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“U.S. Holdings”) and the other borrowers party thereto, the Guarantors party thereto, the Lenders party thereto, and Perceptive Credit Holdings III, LP as administrative agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”), the Company and the Holder have agreed to amend certain provisions of the Existing Warrant.
 
Whereas, the Company and the Holder are willing to make such amendments to the Existing Warrant as are further described herein, in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of this Amendment.
 
Now, Therefore, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants and the agreements herein set forth, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:
 
1
Amendment to Warrant.  Concurrently with the effectiveness of the Credit Agreement (the “Effective Date”), Section 2(b) of the Existing Warrant is hereby amended to state in its entirety:
 
Exercise Price.  The exercise price per ADS under this Warrant shall be $1.071, subject to adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise Price”).”
 
2
Covenants.  If the Company determines that the terms of this Amendment require an amendment to the currently-effective Resale Registration Statement governing the Registrable Securities issuable upon exercise of the Warrant to reflect the revised Exercise Price set forth in this Amendment (such amendment, an “F-3 Amendment”), then no later than 30 days following the Effective Date, the Company shall prepare and file or shall cause to be prepared and filed with the Commission such F-3 Amendment.  The F-3 Amendment (if any) shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Holder, and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such F-3 Amendment to be declared effective as soon as possible after filing.  For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Section 13.03(b) of the Credit Agreement shall apply to any Claims or Losses suffered by an Indemnified Party (each as defined in the Credit Agreement) arising from or relating to any misstatement or omission contained in the Resale Registration Statement, the F-3 Amendment, and any prospectus contained in such Resale Registration Statement, any further amendment or supplement thereto, or any violation by the Company of the Securities Act or any rule or regulation promulgated thereunder applicable to the Company or any state securities (or Blue Sky) law, rule or regulation and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with any such registration.
 

3
Effect of Amendment.  On and after the date hereof, each reference in the Warrant to “this Warrant”, “hereunder”, “hereof”, “herein” or words of like import referring to the Warrant, shall mean and be a reference to the Warrant after giving effect to this Amendment.  Except as specifically set forth in this Amendment, the Warrant remains in full force and effect and is hereby ratified and confirmed.
 
4
Governing Law. This Amendment, and all questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of the Amendment, shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York.
 
5
Counterparts.  This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one and the same Amendment.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Amendment by facsimile, DocuSign or a scanned copy by electronic mail shall be equally as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Amendment.
 
6
Binding Effect.  This Amendment will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and is enforceable by the respective successors and permitted assigns of the parties hereto.
 
7
Incorporation By Reference.  The provisions set forth in Sections 6(h) (Submission to Jurisdiction), 6(i) (Waiver of Venue, Etc.), and 6(j) (Waiver of Jury Trial) of the Warrant shall apply to this Amendment in all respects.
