Key Financial Metrics and Debt Structure
This filing details amendments to existing credit facilities rather than reporting operational financial results (revenue, profit, or cash flow).
- MidCap Credit Facility Amendment: Term loan commitment increased from $33 million to $38 million.
- New Borrowing: An additional $5 million term loan (Third Term Loan Tranche) was advanced on July 10, 2015.
- Repayment Terms: Interest-only payments due until January 1, 2016. Starting thereafter, amortization payments of $500,000 per month apply to all tranches.
- Fees: A commitment fee of 1.0% of the principal amount disbursed ($5 million) was paid to lenders on the effective date.
- Deerfield Credit Facility: Amended to permit the execution of the MidCap Second Amendment.
Material Changes Versus Prior Period
The primary material change is the expansion of the company's debt capacity and immediate increase in outstanding term loan principal by $5 million. The repayment schedule was adjusted to defer principal amortization for the new tranche until 2016.
