Business Context and Reporting Period
Neuronetics, Inc. filed this Form 8-K on December 2, 2020, reporting the entry into a material definitive agreement. The Company, incorporated in Delaware and trading on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol STIM, is an emerging growth company.
Key Financial Metrics and Debt Structure
This filing details a restructuring of the Company's "Solar Facility" credit agreement with Solar Capital Ltd. The amendment modifies the borrowing capacity and terms for the Term B Loan and introduces new Term C and Term D Loan portions. The total available borrowing capacity under the amended facility remains $15.0 million, allocated as follows:
- Term B Loan: $5.0 million (Draw period ends June 20, 2021)
- Term C Loan: $5.0 million (Draw period ends December 20, 2021)
- Term D Loan: $5.0 million (Draw period ends June 20, 2022)
Borrowing under these terms is contingent upon the Company achieving specified trailing twelve months net product revenue thresholds and the absence of an event of default. The filing does not provide current revenue, profit, cash flow, or liquidity figures.
Material Changes Versus Prior Period
The amendment represents a significant change to the original March 2, 2020, loan agreement:
- Reapportionment: The original $15.0 million Term B Loan was split into three distinct tranches (Term B, C, and D) to extend the availability window.
- Revenue Thresholds: The amendment decreased the trailing twelve months net product revenue required to access the Term B Loan and established new revenue requirements for the Term C and Term D Loans.
- Covenant Adjustments: The minimum monthly trailing twelve months net product revenue required beginning December 31, 2020, was decreased.
Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies
The Company's ability to access the full $15.0 million in credit is contingent on meeting specific revenue milestones. The draw periods for all loan portions are subject to an earlier termination date if an event of default occurs or if the revenue conditions are not met within 30 days of achievement. The filing references a press release issued on December 8, 2020, regarding this amendment.
