Loan and Security Agreement

On June 30, 2014, the Company entered into a five year loan and security agreement with Oxford Finance LLC (the “Term Loan Agreement”) to borrow up to $30.0 million in term loans in three equal tranches (the “Term Loans”). On June 30, 2014, the Company received $10.0 million from the first tranche (“Term Loan A”). The second tranche of $10.0 million (“Term Loan B”) was contingent upon the approval, by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) of the Company’s premarket approval application for either the plasma or platelet system (the “PMA Approval”), which occurred in December 2014. The availability of Term Loan B expires on June 15, 2015. The third tranche of $10.0 million (“Term Loan C”) will be available from July 1, 2015 through December 31, 2015, contingent upon the Company achieving trailing six months’ revenue at a specified threshold (the “Revenue Event”). Term Loan A bears an interest rate of 6.95%. Term Loan B and Term Loan C will bear an interest rate calculated at the greater of 6.95% or 6.72% plus the three month U.S. LIBOR rate in effect three business days prior to the applicable Term Loan funding date. All of the Term Loans mature on June 1, 2019. The Company is required to make interest only payments through December 2015 followed by forty-two months of equal principal and interest payments thereafter; however, if the Revenue Event is achieved no later than November 30, 2015, then the interest-only period may be extended through December 31, 2016, and the amortization period will be reduced to thirty months. The Company is also required to make a final payment equal to 7% of the principal amounts of the Term Loans drawn payable on the earlier to occur of maturity or prepayment. The costs associated with the final payment are recognized as interest expense over the life of the Term Loans. The Company may prepay at any time the Term Loans subject to declining prepayment fees over the term of the Term Loan Agreement. The Company paid the lender a $0.2 million commitment fee related to the Term Loan Agreement which has been recorded as a discount on the Term Loans and will be amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the life of the Term Loans. In addition, the Company paid $0.1 million of the lender legal fees, which are capitalized on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets and will be recognized using the effective interest method over the life of the Term Loans. The Company pledged all current and future assets, excluding its intellectual property and 35% of the Company’s investment in its subsidiary, Cerus Europe B.V., as security for borrowings under the Term Loan Agreement. The Term Loan Agreement contains certain nonfinancial covenants, with which the Company was in compliance at December 31, 2014.

Amended Credit Agreement

The Company entered into a loan and security agreement on September 30, 2011, as amended effective on December 13, 2011, and June 30, 2012, with Comerica Bank (collectively, the “Amended Credit Agreement”). The Amended Credit Agreement provided for a formula-based revolving line of credit (“RLOC”) of up to $7.0 million and a $5.0 million term loan. At December 31, 2013, the Company had $3.4 million outstanding under the RLOC, which was repaid in May 2014. In April 2013, the Company repaid in full the outstanding balance of the $5.0 million term loan along with all accrued interest and a scheduled final payment fee of $0.05 million, all totaling an aggregate amount of $4.2 million. The Amended Credit Agreement expired in June 2014.
