Subordinated Note Payable

 

In May 2017, the Company entered into a loan and security agreement, as amended, (“Sub Agreement”) with a lending institution for borrowings of up to $10.0 million. Outstanding borrowings under the Sub Agreement bore interest at the rate of 12% per year. Pursuant to the Sub Agreement, a final payment of $0.7 million was payable at the maturity date in April 2023. The Company recorded the final payment as both a discount and an increase to the principal amount of the debt. The Company also capitalized certain lender and legal costs associated with the Sub Agreement totaling $0.3 million, which were recorded as a discount to the Sub Agreement. The aggregate discount of $1.2 million was being amortized to interest expense over the repayment term of the Sub Agreement. The Company amortized $34,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

 

Borrowings under the Sub Agreement were repaid in full in March 2021 with the proceeds from the Loan Agreement (as defined below). As a result, the Company recorded a loss on debt extinguishment within interest expense totaling $0.2 million, which includes writing off the remaining unamortized debt discount of $0.2 million plus lender fees paid to extinguish the debt.

 

Paycheck Protection Program

 

On April 11, 2020, the Company entered into an original loan agreement with East West Bank as the lender for a loan in an aggregate principal amount of $2.2 million pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP Loan”) under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) and implemented by the U.S. Small Business Administration. The PPP Loan was to mature in two years from the issuance date and bore interest at a rate of 1% per year, with all payments deferred through the six-month anniversary of the date of the PPP Loan. Principal plus accrued unpaid interest was to be paid in one payment two years after the date of this note and may have been prepaid by the Company at any time prior to maturity without penalty. The Company applied for forgiveness of amounts due under the PPP Loan, with the amount of potential loan forgiveness calculated in accordance with the requirements of the CARES Act based on payroll costs, any mortgage interest payments, any covered rent payments and any covered utilities payments during the 8-24 week period after the origination date of the Loan. The Company used proceeds of the PPP Loan for payroll and other qualifying expenses.

 

On November 19, 2020, the Company applied for forgiveness of the full principal amount. On August 9, 2021, the Company received notification that the full amount of the PPP Loan and accrued interest was forgiven. As a result, the Company recorded a gain from the forgiveness of the PPP Loan in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss during the year ended December 31, 2021.

 

Loan and Security Agreement

 

On March 25, 2021, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Eastward Fund Management, LLC, as the lender (“Lender”) to establish a loan facility which provides for borrowings in the aggregate principal amount of up to $17.0 million, which are available to be drawn in two tranches. The first tranche of $15.0 million was funded on March 31, 2021. On May 5, 2022, the Company paid off the remaining balance of the loan. The Company recognized this transaction as a debt extinguishment and recognized a $1.1 million loss on extinguishment.

 

In connection with the Loan Agreement, the Company issued the Lender warrants with a fair value of $0.4 million, which was recorded as a discount to the loan, to purchase up to 346,500 shares (increasing to 392,700 shares upon funding of the second tranche) of common stock that were immediately vested upon funding with an exercise price of $3.00 per share and a term of the earlier of i) March 24, 2031 and ii) the third anniversary of the Company’s listing on Nasdaq. The warrants also provide that any shares issued pursuant to the warrants are entitled to the registration rights afforded to holders of the Company’s stock, all as set forth in those certain outstanding Registration Rights Agreement dated as of October 5, 2020.

 

The Company and Lender also entered into a Co-Investment Agreement, which grants to the Lender and its affiliates a right to purchase in the Company’s future private equity financings up to a total $3.0 million (if the Company only draws the first tranche) or $3.4 million (if the Company draws the second tranche) at the same per share purchase price and terms as other investors in such private equity financings.

 

The Company recorded the final payment of $1.1 million as both a discount and an increase to the principal amount of the debt. The Company also capitalized certain lender and legal costs associated with the Loan Agreement totaling $0.2 million, which were recorded as a discount to the loan. The aggregate discount of $1.8 million was being amortized to interest expense over the repayment term of the Loan and Security Agreement. The Company amortized $0.1 million and $0.2 million of the discount to interest expense during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. The Company amortized $0.1 million and $0.2 million of the discount to interest expense during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.

 

SVB Loan Agreement

 

On May 4, 2022 (the “Effective Date”), the Company and its subsidiary (individually and collectively, “Borrower”) entered into a loan and security agreement (the “SVB Loan Agreement”) with Silicon Valley Bank, a California corporation, as lender (“SVB”). The SVB Loan Agreement provides for a revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of the lesser of (i) $5.0 million and (ii) 80% of eligible accounts (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) and two tranches of term loan advances, comprised of a term loan advance under Tranche A in an aggregate principal amount of up to $15.0 million and additional term loan advances under Tranche B in an aggregate principal amount of up to $5.0 million (the “Term Loan Facility” and, together with the Revolving Credit Facility, the “Facilities”). Borrower’s obligations under the SVB Loan Agreement are secured by first-priority liens on substantially all assets of Borrower. The proceeds of the initial draw under the Term Loan Facility, together with a portion of Borrower’s balance sheet cash, have been used to repay all of Borrower’s outstanding obligations under Borrower’s existing credit facility (“Existing Credit Facility”) provided by Eastward Fund Management, LLC.

 

The Revolving Credit Facility’s stated maturity date is May 4, 2024. Interest on the borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility is payable in arrears monthly at a floating rate per annum equal to the greater of (a) 3.75% and (b) the Prime Rate plus 0.50%. The Term Loan Facility’s stated maturity date is June 1, 2025, provided that, if Borrower achieves certain performance milestones as set forth in the SVB Loan Agreement, the Term Loan Facility maturity date will automatically be extended to December 1, 2025. Interest on the borrowings under the Term Loan Facility is payable in arrears monthly at a floating rate per annum equal to the greater of (a) 3.25% and (b) the Prime Rate plus 0.00%. The Term Loan Facility is interest only until July 1, 2023 provided that if Borrower achieves certain performance milestones, the amortization date automatically extends to January 1, 2024.

 

The SVB Loan Agreement contains customary restrictions and covenants applicable to Borrower and its subsidiaries. In particular, the SVB Loan Agreement contains a financial covenant which provides that if Borrower fails to maintain minimum cash and cash equivalents in an amount of (a) no less than $25.0 million (prior to any Tranche B advance) and (b) $30.0 million (following any Tranche B advance), Borrower is then required to maintain certain minimum revenue requirements as set forth in the SVB Loan Agreement, which will be measured on a trailing 3-month basis and tested quarterly. If Borrower has failed to maintain the minimum cash and cash equivalents set forth in the preceding sentence, in lieu of being subject to the minimum revenue requirements, Borrower has the ability to cure such failure to maintain minimum cash and cash equivalents by delivering evidence satisfactory to SVB that Borrower has raised at least $10.0 million in net cash proceeds from the sale of Borrower’s equity interests.

 

In connection with the SVB Loan Agreement, the Company issued to SVB a warrant to purchase stock, dated as of the Effective Date (the “Warrant”), to purchase up to 48,295 shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, exercisable at any time for a period of approximately seven years from the Effective Date, at an exercise price of $2.38 per share, payable in cash or on a cashless basis according to the formula set forth in the Warrant.
