On April 17, 2018, the Company entered into a credit agreement with Perceptive (refer to Note 17) for an initial term loan of $15.0 million. Proceeds from the Perceptive credit agreement were used to repay existing outstanding debt.  As of March 31, 2018, the Company classified all outstanding debt, except the Danske Credit Facility of $0.5 million, as non-current in its condensed consolidated balance sheets in accordance with the debt classification guidance related to subsequent refinancing arrangements.

JGB Debt

On March 15, 2017, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with JGB pursuant to which the Company issued to JGB the JGB debenture (the “Debentures”) with an aggregate principal amount of $27.8 million and warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock (the “JGB Warrants”) for net proceeds of $24.0 million (the “Financing”).  The Company used $11.2 million of the net proceeds from the Financing to repay its existing indebtedness under the Loan Agreement with East West Bank and was required to maintain restricted cash of $9.4 million.

Under the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Debentures would have matured on February 28, 2020, accrued interest at 9.5% per year and were convertible into an aggregate of approximately 6,092,105 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $4.56 per share (the “Conversion Price”), subject to adjustment for accrued and unpaid interest and upon the occurrence of certain transactions, at the holder’s option.

Additionally, after September 1, 2017, upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, including the volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock exceeding 250% of the Conversion Price for twenty consecutive trading days, the Company could have required that the Debentures be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock, subject to certain limitations. Commencing on March 1, 2018, each of the holders of the Debentures had the right, at its option, to require the Company to redeem up to $937,500 of the outstanding principal amount of its Debenture per month.  The Company was required to promptly, but in any event no more than one trading day after the holder delivers a redemption notice to the Company, pay the applicable redemption amount in cash or, at the Company’s election and subject to certain conditions, in shares of the Company’s common stock.  If the Company elected to pay the redemption amount in shares of the Company’s common stock, then the shares would have been delivered based on a price equal to the lowest of (a) 88% of the average of the three lowest volume weighted average prices of the Company’s common stock over the prior 20 trading days, (b) 88% of the prior trading day’s volume weighted average price, or (c) the Conversion Price.

After either a change of control transaction, as defined in the Debentures, or February 28, 2018, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, the Company could have redeemed all of the then outstanding principal amount of the Debentures for cash by paying the outstanding principal balance, accrued and unpaid interest, and a payment premium.  The payment premium would have been calculated by multiplying the outstanding balance and the following percentage: (i) 15% if the Debentures were prepaid on or prior to March 1, 2018, (ii) 8% if the Debentures were prepaid after March 1, 2018 but prior to March 1, 2019, and (iii) 5% if the Debentures were prepaid on or after March 1, 2019.

The Company’s obligations under the Debentures could have been accelerated upon the occurrence of certain events of default as specified in the agreement.  In the event of default and acceleration of the Company’s obligations, the Company would have been required to pay (i) 115% of all amounts of principal and interest then outstanding under the Debentures in cash if the Debentures were accelerated prior to March 1, 2018, (ii) 108% of all amounts of principal and interest then outstanding under the Debentures in cash if the Debentures were accelerated after March 1, 2018, but prior to March 1, 2019, and (iii) 105% of all amounts of principal and interest then outstanding under the Debentures in cash if the Debentures were accelerated after March 1, 2019.  The Company’s obligations under the Debentures were secured under a Security Agreement by a senior lien on all of the Company’s assets, other than its interest in CareDx International AB (formerly known as Allenex AB), which was subject to a negative pledge prohibiting the incurrence of additional or replacement debt.

The Debentures contained customary affirmative and restrictive covenants and representations and warranties, including financial reporting obligations, a restriction on the Company’s ability to pay cash dividends on its common stock and limitations on indebtedness, liens, investments, distributions, transfers, corporate changes, deposit accounts and subsidiaries.  The Company was also required to maintain a minimum cash amount at all times, achieve commercialization of AlloSure by a certain date and achieve certain gross profit targets for sales of its AlloMap product.

In connection with the Financing, on March 15, 2017, the Company and the Purchasers entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) pursuant to which, among other things, the Company agreed to prepare and file one or more registration statements with the SEC for the purpose of registering for resale any shares of Common Stock that may be issued by the Company upon the conversion or redemption of the Debentures or the exercise of the JGB Warrants.

The Debentures included certain embedded derivatives that required bifurcation, including settlement and penalty provisions.  The compound embedded derivatives were remeasured at each reporting period and the change in fair value was recognized in the consolidated statements of operations. See also Note 4, “Fair Value Measurements”.

As a result of the issuance of 1,022,544 shares of the Company’s common stock issued at a price per share equal to $1.12 pursuant to the amendments to the Conditional Share Purchase Agreements, the conversion price of the Debentures decreased from $4.56 per share to $4.40 per share, effective July 3, 2017.

As a result of the 2017 Public Offering in accordance with the anti-dilution provisions in the Debentures, effective October 5, 2017, the conversion price of the Debentures decreased from $4.40 to $4.34 per share.  On October 5, 2017, JGB elected to convert $1.25 million of outstanding principal under the Debentures into shares of common stock. Accordingly, the Company issued 288,022 shares of common stock to JGB at a price per share of $4.34.  As a result of the sale of the 651,240 shares of common stock pursuant to the underwriters’ full exercise of their option to purchase additional shares in accordance with the anti-dilution provisions in the Debentures, effective October 10, 2017, the conversion price of the Debentures were decreased from $4.34 per share to $4.33 per share.  As of December 31, 2017, the JGB debt had an outstanding principal balance of $26.5 million.

On March 1, 2018, the Company notified JGB of its intent to prepay on April 13, 2018 in full the outstanding principal and interest under the Debentures. Pursuant to the terms of the Debentures, on April 13, 2018, the Company would have been obligated to pay the full amount of the outstanding principal balance of the Debentures, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon and a prepayment premium equal to 8% of the outstanding principal balance in cash.  In February and March 31, 2018, JGB converted the remaining $26.7 million of principal and accrued interest of the JGB debt into an aggregate of 6,161,331 shares of the Company’s common stock.  In connection with these conversions in the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company recognized $6,000 to common stock and $38.8 million to additional paid in capital; the unamortized debt discount of $2.7 million was extinguished; and the compound derivative liability of $12.1 million was also extinguished.  The JGB Debt conversion resulted in a $2.8 million loss on debt extinguishment that was included in other expense, net  in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Danske Bank Term Loan and Credit Facility

On June 25, 2013, Allenex entered into a term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”) with Danske in an aggregate principal amount of up to SEK 71,000,000 (approximately $8.8 million).  The Term Loan Facility was available for utilization in advances of a minimum of SEK 5,000,000 (approximately $0.6 million) and if more, integral multiples of SEK 1,000,000 (approximately $0.1 million). The interest rate applicable to each advance was the percentage rate per annum calculated as the aggregate of (i) Stockholm Interbank Offered Rate (“STIBOR”) (as defined in the Term Loan Facility) and (ii) the Margin (as described in the Term Loan Facility) at 3% conditional on the fulfillment of certain criteria.  In March 2015, Allenex entered into a first amendment to the Term Loan Facility, pursuant to which additional loans were granted.  In August 2015, Allenex entered into a second amendment to the Term Loan Facility, pursuant to which the term of the Term Loan Facility was extended.  In December 2015, Allenex entered into a waiver and amendment agreement relating to the Term Loan Facility, pursuant to which the change of control provision was waived and amended.  In March 2016, Allenex entered into another amendment to the Term Loan Facility, which modified the repayment schedule for advances under the Term Loan Facility. Under this Term Loan Facility, SEK 47,000,000 (approximately $5.6 million) was outstanding as of March 31, 2018 and was due on June 30, 2018.  This was classified as a current debt as of March 31, 2018.

A quarterly debt covenant in the Term Loan Facility with Danske was violated on March 31, 2017, June 30, 2017, and September 30, 2017.  The Company obtained a waiver for these violations.  The waiver was conditional upon, among other things, the Company making a principal repayment of SEK 6,000,000 (approximately $0.7 million) by October 31, 2017.  This amount was paid on October 31, 2017.
