Eastward Loan and Security Agreement

 

On March 25, 2021, the Company entered into the Loan and Security Agreement (the “Eastward Loan Agreement”) with Eastward Capital Partners (“Eastward”) to establish a loan facility that provided for borrowings in the aggregate principal amount of up to $17.0 million, which were available to be drawn in two tranches. The first tranche of $15.0 million was funded on March 31, 2021. The second tranche of $2.0 million was available, at the Company’s request, between October 30, 2021, and November 30, 2021, provided the Company achieved at least $6.0 million in revenue and a maximum Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) loss of $4.8 million, in each case for the third fiscal quarter of 2021. There were no borrowings under the second tranche. Outstanding borrowings under the Eastward Loan Agreement were secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of the personal property assets of the Company, including the Company’s intellectual property. The Company was required to pay only interest during the first 18 months after funding of the first tranche and thereafter. The loan facility bore an annual interest rate of the prime rate as published in the Wall Street Journal, subject to a floor of 3.25% plus 8.75%. The annual interest rate was 12.0% as of December 31, 2021.

 

The Company and Eastward also entered into a Co-Investment Agreement which grants to Eastward and its affiliates a right to purchase in the Company’s future equity financings up to a total of $3.0 million at the same per share purchase price and terms as other investors in such equity financings. Eastward chose not to exercise its co-investment rights during the October 2021 capital raise.

 

Borrowings under the Eastward Loan Agreement were repaid in full in May 2022 with the proceeds from the SVB Loan Agreement. 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 Eastward Loan Agreement.

 

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 or (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 the Eastward Loan Agreement.

 

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 September 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 $35 million of annual recurring revenue (“ARR”), the amortization date automatically extends to January 1, 2024. On March 23, 2023, SVB reviewed financial information provided by the Company and concluded that it satisfied the $35 million ARR performance metric within the Loan Agreement. This extended the interest only period on the term loan to January 1, 2024. The Company also accessed the second term loan tranche of $5 million, bringing the total term loan outstanding to $20 million. This term loan is repayable over twenty-four months in equal installments starting January 1, 2024 and ending December 1, 2025. With the final payment on December 1, 2025, the Company will also owe a final payment fee of 5.0% of the term loan, or $1 million.

 

At March 31, 2023, the future minimum payments required under the Loan Agreement, including the final payment, are as follows as of  (in thousands):

 

2023 (9 months remaining)   $
 
2024     10,000  
2025     10,000  
    $ 20,000  
End of term charge     1,000  
    $ 21,000  
Less unamortized debt discount     (767 )
Loan payable net of discount   $ 20,233  
Less current portion     2,500  
Loan payable, non-current portion   $ 17,733  

 

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 that 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.

 

The Company was in compliance with all covenants of the Lender at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
