6. Related-party arrangements

In October 2007, the Company entered into a $350.0 million loan arrangement (the “Loan Arrangement”) with its principal stockholder. The Loan Arrangement has been amended from time to time. In February 2009, the promissory note underlying the Loan Arrangement was revised as a result of the principal stockholder being licensed as a finance lender under the California Finance Lenders Law. Accordingly, the lender was revised to The Mann Group. Until January 1, 2013, interest on outstanding principal amounts accrued at a fixed rate equal to the one-year LIBOR rate as reported by the Wall Street Journal on the date of such advance plus 3% per annum. Based on the amended terms of the agreement, the rate was fixed at 5.84% going forward. On October 31, 2013, the promissory note was further amended to, among other things, extend the maturity date of the loan to January 5, 2020, extend the date through which the Company can borrow under the Loan Arrangement to December 31, 2019, increase the aggregate borrowing amount under the Loan Arrangement from $350.0 million to $370.0 million, provide that repayments or cancellations of principal under the Loan Arrangement will not be available for reborrowing, and to cancel $78.0 million of principal indebtedness under the Loan Arrangement as payment for the aggregate exercise price of warrants, in accordance with the Common Stock and Warrant Purchase Agreement entered into with The Mann Group on October 18, 2012 (the “Mann Group Warrants”). The note payable to our principal stockholder is excluded from current liabilities due to the amendment on October 31, 2013 and presented as a non-current liability as of December 31, 2013. In addition, the Company and The Mann Group agreed to capitalize into principal $7.9 million of accrued interest that became due and payable upon cancellation of the $78.0 million of principal indebtedness.

As of December 31, 2013, the total principal amount outstanding under the Loan Arrangement was $49.5 million, and the amount available for future borrowings was $30.1 million. Interest is due and payable quarterly in arrears on the first day of each calendar quarter for the preceding quarter, or at such other time as the Company and The Mann Group mutually agree. All or any portion of accrued and unpaid interest that becomes due and payable may be paid-in-kind and capitalized as additional borrowings at any time and would be classified as non-current upon mutual agreement of both parties. The Mann Group can require us to prepay up to $200.0 million in advances that have been outstanding for at least 12 months (less approximately $105.0 million aggregate principal amount that has been cancelled in connection with two common stock purchase agreements — a Common Stock Purchase Agreement between us and The Mann Group dated August 2010 and The Mann Group Common Stock Purchase Agreement). If The Mann Group exercises this right, the Company will have 90 days after The Mann Group provides written notice (or the number of days to maturity of the note if less than 90 days) to prepay such advances. Subject to the foregoing, in the event of a default under our loan arrangement with The Mann Group, all unpaid principal and interest either becomes immediately due and payable or may be accelerated at The Mann Group’s option, and the interest rate will increase to the one-year LIBOR rate calculated on the date of the initial advance or in effect on the date of default, whichever is greater, plus 5% per annum. All borrowings under the Loan Arrangement are unsecured. The Loan Arrangement contains no financial covenants. There are no warrants associated with the Loan Arrangement.

In August 2010, the Company entered into a letter agreement confirming a previous commitment by The Mann Group to not require the Company to prepay amounts outstanding under the amended and restated promissory note, if the prepayment would require the Company to use its working capital resources. In addition, The Mann Group entered into a subordination agreement with Deerfield pursuant to which The Mann Group agreed with Deerfield not to demand or accept any payment under the Loan Arrangement until the Company’s payment obligations to Deerfield under the Facility Agreement have been satisfied in full.

On August 10, 2010, the Company entered into a common stock purchase agreement with The Mann Group. Under this common stock purchase agreement, the Company was required to issue and sell, and The Mann Group was obligated to purchase, the same number of shares of the Company’s common stock that Seaside 88, LP (“Seaside”) purchased on each closing date under its agreement with the Company. The price of the shares that the Company sold to The Mann Group under the agreement was equal to the greater of $7.15 per share (the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock on August 10, 2010) and the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock on the trading day immediately preceding the applicable closing date. The aggregate purchase price for the shares of common stock the Company issued and sold to The Mann Group was paid by cancelling an equal amount of the outstanding principal under the $350.0 million loan arrangement provided by The Mann Group. An August 2010 amendment and restatement of the Company’s promissory note issued to The Mann Group in connection with the Loan Arrangement also provided for the cancellation of indebtedness under the note as described above and the elimination of the Company’s ability to reborrow under the note the amount of any indebtedness that was cancelled. The common stock purchase agreement with The Mann Group terminated upon termination of the Seaside agreement in the quarter ended September 30, 2011.

In the fourth quarter of 2010, the Company issued and sold a total of 2,100,000 shares of common stock to Seaside for net proceeds of $14.1 million in accordance with the Company’s common stock purchase agreement with Seaside. During the quarter ended March 31, 2011, the Company issued and sold a total of 1,400,000 shares of common stock to Seaside for net proceeds of $9.7 million. No additional shares of common stock were sold to Seaside under this agreement subsequent to the quarter ended March 31, 2011. As of December 31, 2011, the Company had issued and sold a total of 3,500,000 shares of common stock to Seaside for net proceeds of $23.8 million in accordance with the agreement. The agreement with Seaside terminated during the quarter ended September 30, 2011. Concurrently, with the sales to Seaside, the Company issued and sold a total of 2,100,000 and 1,400,000 shares of common stock to The Mann Group, an entity controlled by the Company’s principal stockholder, in 2010 and 2011, respectively, for a total purchase price of $16.7 million and $11.1 million, respectively, which was paid by the cancellation of outstanding principal under the Company’s amended and restated promissory note with The Mann Group.

On February 8, 2012, the Company sold $86.3 million worth of units in an underwritten public offering, with each unit consisting of one share of common stock and a warrant to purchase 0.6 of a share of common stock. Concurrent with this public offering, The Mann Group agreed to purchase $77.2 million worth of restricted shares of common stock to be paid, at the discretion of the Company, by cash or by cancellation of principal indebtedness under the amended loan arrangement, subject to stockholder approval to increase the number of authorized shares. In May 2012, the Company’s stockholders approved an increase in the authorized shares of common stock from 250,000,000 to 350,000,000. On June 27, 2012, the Company completed the closing of the sale of 31,250,000 share of its common stock through the cancellation of outstanding indebtedness under the loan agreement (see Note 10).

In October 2012, the Company sold $92.0 million worth of units in an underwritten public offering, with each unit to purchase one share of common stock and a warrant to purchase at 0.75 of a share of common stock. Concurrent with the underwritten public offering, the Company entered into a Common Stock and Warrant Purchase Agreement on October 18, 2012, in which the Company was required to issue and sell and The Mann Group was obligated to purchase 40,000,000 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock at a purchase price of $2.59 per share (the consolidated closing bid price of the Company’s common stock on October 17, 2012), and 40,000,000 warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 30,000,000 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock at a purchase price of $0.125 for each share of the Company’s common stock underlying the warrants, in exchange for cancellation of outstanding principal under the amended and restated promissory note with The Mann Group.

The restricted shares sold to The Mann Group may not be sold, pledged, assigned or transferred unless (i) the shares have been registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission or (ii) the restricted shares are exempt from SEC registration requirements and the Company has obtained an opinion from the Company’s counsel that the shares may be sold lawfully without registration.

As a result of the special meeting of the Company’s stockholders held on December 20, 2012 in which the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the authorized shares of its common stock from 350,000,000 shares to 550,000,000 shares, the Company completed the closing of the Common Stock and Warrant Purchase Agreement. The aggregate purchase price for the shares and warrants that the Company issued to The Mann Group was approximately $107.4 million and was paid for by cancelling principal indebtedness owed to The Mann Group under the amended and restated promissory note. The cancelled principal amount became available for reborrowing until the October 31, 2013 amendment discussed above. Additionally, in accordance with the terms of the note, the Company elected to capitalize the accrued and unpaid interest on the cancelled principal amount that became due upon the closing (see Note 10).

The principal amount outstanding under the Loan Arrangement as of December 31, 2012 and 2013, respectively, subsequent to the completion of the common stock purchase agreements was as follows (in thousands):

Interest expense on the Company’s note payable to our principal stockholder for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013 was $10.9 million, $10.5 million and $6.3 million, respectively. 

 

In connection with certain meetings of the Company’s board of directors and on other occasions when the Company’s business necessitated air travel for the Company’s principal stockholder and other Company employees, the Company utilized the principal stockholder’s private aircraft, and the Company paid the charter company that manages the aircraft on behalf of the Company’s majority shareholder approximately $111,000, $200,000 and $82,000, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013 on the basis of the corresponding cost of commercial airfare.
