Business Context and Reporting Period
This Current Report on Form 8-K was filed by Evolus, Inc. on December 14, 2021. The filing discloses the entry into a material definitive agreement involving a new term loan facility to fund general corporate and working capital requirements.
Key Financial Metrics and Debt Structure
The Company entered into a Loan Agreement with an aggregate principal amount of up to $125,000,000. The filing does not provide current revenue, profit, cash flow, or margin data, as this is a transactional report rather than a periodic financial statement.
- Total Loan Capacity: $125,000,000
- Tranche A: $75,000,000 (advances 10 business days post-effective date)
- Tranche B: $50,000,000 (at Company's election)
- Interest Rate: LIBOR + 8.5% per annum
- Maturity: 6 years from the Tranche A Closing Date
- Principal Repayment: 12 equal quarterly payments commencing after the 39th month
- Collateral: Security interest in substantially all personal property, rights, and assets
Material Changes and Prepayment Terms
The Company may prepay the loans subject to a minimum amount of $20,000,000. Prepayments prior to the 2nd anniversary of the respective tranche closing dates require a "makewhole" payment equal to all interest that would have accrued through that anniversary. Additional prepayment premiums apply based on timing:
- Before 3rd Anniversary: 3% of prepaid principal
- 3rd to 4th Anniversary: 2% of prepaid principal
- 4th Anniversary to Maturity: 1% of prepaid principal
Guidance, Risks, and Covenants
The Loan Agreement includes customary affirmative and restrictive covenants. Notably, the agreement does not require the Company to maintain a minimum cash threshold, minimum revenues, or minimum earnings. Restrictive covenants limit the ability to incur additional indebtedness, consummate change-in-control transactions, or incur non-permitted liens without lender consent. The Company is an emerging growth company and has elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised financial accounting standards.
