Long-Term Debt and Other Financings | 8. Long-Term Debt and Other Financings Novartis Note In May 2005, the Company executed a secured note agreement (the “Note Agreement”) with Novartis, which was due and payable in full in June 2015. Under the Note Agreement, the Company borrowed semi-annually to fund up to 75% of the Company’s research and development and commercialization costs under its collaboration arrangement with Novartis, not to exceed $50.0 million in aggregate principal amount. Interest on the principal amount of the loan accrues at six-month London Interbank Offered Rate plus 2%, which was equal to 3.81% at December 31, 2017, and is payable semi-annually in June and December of each year. Additionally, the interest rate resets in June and December of each year. At the Company’s election, the semi-annual interest payments could be added to the outstanding principal amount, in lieu of a cash payment, as long as the aggregate principal amount does not exceed $50.0 million. The Company made this election for all interest payments. Accrued interest of $0.3 million, $0.4 million and $0.3 million was added to the principal balance of the note for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015, respectively. Loans under the Note Agreement were secured by the Company’s interest in its collaboration with Novartis, including any payments owed to it thereunder. On September 30, 2015, concurrent with the execution of the License Agreement with Novartis International as discussed in Note 4, XOMA and NIBR, who assumed the rights to the note from NVDI, executed an amendment to the Note Agreement (the “Secured Note Amendment”) under which the parties extended the maturity date of the note from September 30, 2015 to September 30, 2020, and eliminated the mandatory prepayment previously required to be made with certain proceeds of pre-tax profits and royalties. In addition, upon achievement of a specified development and regulatory milestone, the then-outstanding principal amount of the note will be reduced by $7.3 million rather than the Company receiving such amount as a cash payment. On September 22, 2017, in connection with the XOMA-052 License Agreement with Novartis, the Company and NIBR executed an amendment to the Secured Note Amendment under which the parties further extended the maturity date of the Secured Note Amendment from September 30, 2020 to September 30, 2022. All other terms of the Secured Note Amendment and original Note Agreement remain unchanged. The Company determined that the amendment resulted in a debt modification. As a result, the Secured Note Amendment will continue to be accounted for using the effective interest method, with a new effective interest rate based on revised cash flows calculated on a prospective basis upon the execution of the amendment. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the outstanding principal balance under this Secured Note Amendment was $14.6 million and $14.1 million, respectively, and was included in interest bearing obligations – non-current in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Servier Loan Agreement In December 2010, in connection with the Collaboration Agreement entered into with Servier, the Company executed a loan agreement with Servier (the “Servier Loan Agreement”), which provided for an advance of €15.0 million, which converted to approximately $19.5 million at that time. The loan was secured by an interest in the Company’s intellectual property rights to all gevokizumab indications worldwide, excluding certain rights in the U.S. and Japan. Interest was calculated at a floating rate based on a Euro Inter-Bank Offered Rate and subject to a cap. The interest rate was reset semi-annually in January and July of each year. On January 9, 2015, Servier and the Company entered into Amendment No. 2 (“Loan Amendment”) to the Servier Loan Agreement to extend the maturity date of the loan from January 13, 2016 to three tranches of principal to be repaid as follows: €3.0 million on January 15, 2016, €5.0 million on January 15, 2017, and €7.0 million on January 15, 2018. All other terms of the Servier Loan Agreement remained unchanged. The loan would be immediately due and payable upon certain customary events of default. In January 2016, the Company made payments of €3.0 million in principal and €0.2 million in accrued interest to Servier. In January 2017, the Company entered into Amendment No. 3 to the Servier Loan Agreement (the “Amendment No. 3”) which extended the maturity date of the portion of the loan equal to €5.0 million due on January 15, 2017 to July 15, 2017. The other terms of the Servier Loan Agreement remained unchanged. The Company determined that Amendment No. 3 resulted in a debt modification. As a result, the Company continued to account for the loan using the effective interest method, with a new effective interest rate based on revised cash flows calculated on a prospective basis upon the execution of the Amendment No. 3. Upon initial issuance, the loan had a stated interest rate lower than the market rate based on comparable loans held by similar companies, which represented additional value to the Company. The Company recorded this additional value as a discount to the carrying value of the loan amount, at its fair value of $8.9 million. The loan discount was amortized to interest expense under the effective interest method over the remaining life of the loan. The Company recorded non-cash interest expense resulting from the amortization of the loan discount of $0.4 million, $0.6 million and $0.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015, respectively. At December 31, 2016, the net carrying value of the loan was $12.2 million. For the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company recorded an unrealized foreign exchange gain of $5,000 and an unrealized foreign exchange loss of $0.2 million, respectively, related to the re-measurement of the loan discount. The outstanding principal balance under this loan was $12.6 million using a euro to US dollar exchange rate of 1.052, as of December 31, 2016. The Company recognized unrealized foreign exchange gains of $0.5 million and $1.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2016, and 2015, related to the re-measurement of the loan. On August 25, 2017, NIBR settled the Servier Loan in cash by paying directly to Servier $14.3 million, which represented the outstanding balance of the loan based on a euro to dollar exchange rate of 1.1932. The funds that NIBR paid directly to Servier were a portion of the upfront payment due to XOMA under the XOMA-052 License Agreement (see Note 4). As a result of the debt being fully paid, the intellectual property securing the Servier Loan Agreement was released back to the Company. A loss on extinguishment of $0.1 million from the payoff of the loan was recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss) during the year ended December 31, 2017. Hercules Term Loan On February 27, 2015 (“Closing Date”), the Company entered into a loan and security agreement with Hercules Technology Growth Capital, Inc. (the “Hercules Term Loan”). The Hercules Term Loan had a variable interest rate that is the greater of either (i) 9.40% plus the prime rate as reported from time to time in The Wall Street Journal minus 7.25%, or (ii) 9.40%. The payments under the Hercules Term Loan were interest only until June 1, 2016 . The interest-only period was followed by equal monthly payments of principal and interest amortized over a 30-month schedule through the scheduled maturity date of September 1, 2018. As security for its obligations under the Hercules Term Loan, the Company granted a security interest in substantially all of its existing and after-acquired assets, excluding its intellectual property assets. The Hercules Term Loan included certain affirmative and restrictive covenants, but did not include any financial covenants, and also included standard events of default, including payment defaults. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, a default interest rate of an additional 5% may have been applied to the outstanding loan balances, and Hercules may have declared all outstanding obligations immediately due and payable, and taken such other actions as set forth in the Hercules Term Loan. The Company incurred debt issuance costs of $0.5 million in connection with the Hercules Term Loan. The Company was required to pay a final payment fee equal to $1.2 million on the maturity date, or such earlier date as the term loan was paid in full. The debt issuance costs and final payment fee were being amortized and accreted, respectively, to interest expense over the term of the term loan using the effective interest method. The Company recorded non-cash interest expense resulting from the amortization of the debt issuance costs and accretion of the final payment of $0.2 million, $0.7 million and $0.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. As of December 31, 2016, the outstanding principal balance of the Hercules Term Loan was $17.5 million, and the net carrying value was $16.9 million. On December 21, 2016, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) to the Hercules Term Loan. Under the Amendment, Hercules agreed to release its security interest in the assets subject to the Acquisition Agreements described in Note 4 above. In turn, in January 2017, the Company paid $10.0 million of the outstanding principal balance owed to Hercules. This amount was included in current interest-bearing obligations as of December 31, 2016. All other terms of the Hercules Term Loan remained unchanged. On March 21, 2017, the remaining balance of the Hercules Term Loan was paid in full and the Company was not required to pay the 1% prepayment charge due pursuant to the terms of the loan. A loss on extinguishment of $0.5 million from the payoff of the Hercules Term Loan was recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss) during the year ended December 31, 2017. In connection with the Hercules Term Loan, the Company issued unregistered warrants that entitle Hercules to purchase up to an aggregate of 9,063 unregistered shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price equal to $66.20 per share. These warrants are exercisable immediately and have a five-year term expiring in February 2020. The Company allocated the aggregate proceeds of the Hercules Term Loan between the warrants and the debt obligation. The fair value of the warrants of $0.5 million, which was determined using the Black-Scholes Model, was recorded as a discount to the debt obligation. The debt discount was amortized over the term of the loan using the effective interest method. The warrants are classified in stockholders’ equity (deficit) on the consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2017, all of these warrants were outstanding. Interest Expense Amortization of debt issuance costs and discounts are included in interest expense. Interest expense in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015, relates to the following debt instruments (in thousands):
