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 and only tranche of $15.0 million was funded on March 31, 2021.
Borrowings under the Eastward Loan Agreement were repaid in full in May 2022 with the proceeds from the SVB Loan Agreement. The Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $1.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2022.
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 the Borrower with 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.
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.
On June 12, 2023, the Borrower entered into a First Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement (“Amendment”) with SVB, which amends certain provisions of the SVB Loan Agreement. Under the SVB Loan Agreement, the term loan facility’s initial stated maturity date was June 1, 2025, which was automatically extended to December 1, 2025 as the Company achieved certain performance milestones that were a condition to such extension. The Amendment provides for further automatic extensions of the term loan facility’s maturity date, with the possibility of automatic extension to June 1, 2027, if the
Company achieves certain equity milestones as set forth in the Amendment and certain performance milestones with respect to revenue and net income (loss) as set forth in the Amendment. The Amendment also extended the stated maturity date of the Revolving Credit Facility from May 4, 2024 to November 4, 2024.
The Amendment provides that interest on the borrowings under the Term Loan Facility is payable at a floating rate per annum equal to the greater of (a) 6.00% and (b) the prime rate plus 0.00%. Additionally, the Amendment provides that interest on the borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility is payable at a floating rate per annum equal to the greater of (a) 6.50% and (b) the prime rate plus 0.50%.
The Amendment also reduced the prepayment fees payable on the condition The Company prepays all borrowings under the Term Loan Facility. The prepayment fee depends on when the term loan is prepaid and equals 2.50%, 1.50%, and 0.50% of the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan Facility, if the prepayment occurs during the first, second or third year following of the effective date of the amendment. There is no prepayment fee if the Term Loan Facility is replaced with another facility with the SVB.
In connection with the Amendment, the Company also issued to SVB a warrant to purchase up to 190,330 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 date of issuance, at an exercise price of $4.25 per share, payable in cashless basis according to the formula set forth in the warrant. The exercise price of the warrant was adjusted to $3.01 per share upon approval of the Company’s shareholders at the Company’s Annual Meeting of stockholders held on July 13, 2023.
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.
At December 31, 2023, the future minimum payments required under the Term Loan Facility of the Loan Agreement, including the final payment, are as follows:
Years ending December 31:  
2024 $ 5,000 
2025 10,000 
2026 6,225 
21,225 
Less unamortized debt discount (922)
Loan payable, net of discount 20,303 
Less current portion (5,000)
Loan payable, non-current portion $ 15,303 
The Term Loan Facility includes an end of term payment of $1.23 million, which has been recorded as both a discount and an increase to the principal amount of the debt. The original discount of $1.78 million is being amortized to interest expense over the repayment term of the SVB Loan Agreement using the effective interest method. The Company amortized $596 thousand and $265 thousand of the discount to interest expense during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
There were no borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility in the years ended December 31, 2023 or December 31, 2022. The Company was in compliance with all covenants in the SVB Loan Agreement at December 31, 2023.
