Sanofi License Agreement and Sanofi Supply Agreement

See Note 1 under Basis of Presentation, for accounting considerations related to the Company’s license and collaboration agreement with Sanofi which was terminated effective April 4, 2016.

Sanofi Loan Facility

On September 23, 2014, the Company entered into the Sanofi Loan Facility, consisting of a senior secured revolving promissory note and a guaranty and security agreement (the “Security Agreement”) with an affiliate of Sanofi which provides the Company with a secured loan facility of up to $175.0 million to fund the Company’s share of net losses under the Sanofi License Agreement. In the event of certain future defaults under the Sanofi Loan Facility for which the Company is not able to obtain waivers, the lender under the Sanofi Loan Facility may accelerate all of the Company’s repayment obligations, and take control of the Company’s pledged assets, potentially requiring the Company to renegotiate the terms of its indebtedness on terms less favorable to the Company, or to immediately cease operations.

The obligations of the Company under the Sanofi Loan Facility are guaranteed by the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, MannKind LLC, and are secured by a first priority security interest in certain insulin inventory located in the United States and any contractual rights and obligations pursuant to which the Company purchases or has purchased such insulin, and a second priority security interest in the Company’s assets that secure the Company’s obligations under the Facility Agreement, as amended. In addition, the Company granted to Sanofi, as additional security for the obligations under the Sanofi Loan Facility, a first priority mortgage on the Company’s facility in Valencia, California, which has a carrying value of $17.4 million as of September 30, 2016.

Advances under the Sanofi Loan Facility bear interest at a rate of 8.5% per annum and are payable in-kind and compounded quarterly and added to the outstanding principal balance under the Sanofi Loan Facility. The Company is required to make mandatory prepayments on the outstanding loans under the Sanofi Loan Facility from its share of any profits (as defined in the Sanofi License Agreement) under the Sanofi License Agreement within 30 days of receipt of its share of any such profits. No advances may be made under the Sanofi Loan Facility if Deerfield has commenced enforcement proceedings in connection with an event of default under the Facility Agreement.

The outstanding principal of all loans under the Sanofi Loan Facility, if not prepaid, will become due and payable on September 23, 2024 unless accelerated pursuant to the terms of the Sanofi Loan Facility. Additionally, if the Company sells its Valencia facility, the Company is required to prepay the loans under the Sanofi Loan Facility from the net cash proceeds of the sale within five business days of receipt. The maturity date of September 23, 2024 for repayment of the outstanding principal amount of the loans under the Sanofi Loan Facility is not affected by the termination of the Sanofi License Agreement.

The Company’s total cumulative portion of the loss sharing, including interest, was $71.2 million, of which $71.5 million was borrowed under the Sanofi Loan Facility as of September 30, 2016. For the three months ended September 30, 2016, the Company’s portion of the profit sharing was $0.3 million under the Sanofi License Agreement, which is required to be applied as a prepayment against the balance owed under the Sanofi Loan Facility. The total amount owed to Sanofi is $71.2 million, which includes $5.8 million in paid-in-kind interest capitalized as principal.

 

The Sanofi Loan Facility includes customary representations, warranties and covenants by the Company, including restrictions on its ability to incur additional indebtedness, grant certain liens and make certain changes to its organizational documents. Events of default under the Sanofi Loan Facility include: the Company’s failure to timely make payments due under the Sanofi Loan Facility; inaccuracies in the Company’s representations and warranties to the noteholder; the Company’s failure to comply with any of its covenants under any of the Sanofi Loan Facility or certain other related security agreements and documents entered into in connection with the Sanofi Loan Facility, subject to a cure period with respect to most covenants; the Company’s insolvency or the occurrence of certain bankruptcy-related events; and the failure of any material provision under any of the Sanofi Loan Facility or certain other related security agreements and documents entered into in connection with the Sanofi Loan Facility to remain in full force and effect. If one or more events of default occurs and is continuing, Sanofi may terminate its obligation to make advances under the Sanofi Loan Facility, and, if certain specified events of default (including the Company’s failure to timely make payments due under the Sanofi Loan Facility; the Company’s failure to comply with the negative covenants under the Sanofi Loan Facility limiting the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness or grant certain liens; the Company’s insolvency or the occurrence of certain bankruptcy-related events; or the failure of any material provision under any of the Sanofi Loan Facility or certain other related security agreements and documents entered into in connection with the Sanofi Loan Facility to remain in full force and effect) occur and are continuing, the noteholder may accelerate all of the Company’s repayment obligations under the Sanofi Loan Facility and otherwise exercise any of its remedies as a secured creditor. There can be no assurance that the noteholder would not choose to exercise these rights in the event such events were to occur.
