Loan Payable to Silicon Valley Bank

9. Loan Payable to Silicon Valley Bank

 

On February 21, 2017, Oncocyte entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Silicon Valley Bank (the “Bank”) pursuant to which Oncocyte borrowed $2.0 million. Payments of interest only on the principal balance were due monthly from the loan funding date, March 23, 2017, through October 31, 2017, and, beginning on November 1, 2017, monthly payments of principal of approximately $67,000 plus interest are due and payable.

 

The outstanding principal amount plus accrued interest was due and payable to the Bank at maturity on April 1, 2020, but was paid off through a loan refinancing completed in October 2019, including a payment of a $116,000 final payment fee due under the terms of the Loan Agreement. The Bank waived a 1.0% prepayment fee in connection with the refinancing of the loan.

 

Amended Loan Agreement

 

On October 17, 2019, Oncocyte entered into a First Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement (the “Amended Loan Agreement”) with the Bank pursuant to which Oncocyte obtained a new $3 million secured credit facility (“Tranche 1”), a portion of which was used to repay the remaining balance of approximately $400,000 on outstanding loans from the Bank, plus a final payment of $116,000, under the February 21, 2017 Loan Agreement. The credit line under the Amended Loan Agreement may be increased by an additional $2 million (“Tranche 2”) if Oncocyte obtains at least $20 million of additional equity capital, as was the case with the original Loan Agreement, and a positive final coverage determination is received from CMS for DetermaRx at a specified minimum price point per test (the “Tranche 2 Milestone”), and Oncocyte is not in default under the Amended Loan Agreement.

 

Payments of interest only on the principal balance were due monthly from the draw date through March 31, 2020, followed by 24 monthly payments of principal and interest, but the Bank has agreed to a deferral of principal payments, as discussed below. The outstanding principal balance of the loan will bear interest at a stated floating annual interest equal to the greater of (a) the prime rate or (b) 5% per annum. As of March 31, 2021, the latest published prime rate was 3.25% per annum.

 

On April 2, 2020, as part of the Bank’s COVID-19 pandemic relief program, Oncocyte and the Bank entered into a Loan Deferral Agreement (“Loan Deferral”) with respect to the Amended Loan Agreement. Under the Loan Deferral Agreement, the Bank agreed to (i) extend the scheduled maturity date of the Amended Loan Agreement from March 31, 2022 to September 30, 2022, and (ii) deferred the principal payments by an additional 6 months whereby payments of interest only on the Bank loan principal balance will be due monthly from May 1, 2020 through October 1, 2020, followed by 23 monthly payments of principal and interest beginning on November 1, 2020, all provided at no additional fees to Oncocyte. No other terms of the Amended Loan Agreement were changed or modified. The Loan Deferral was accounted for as a modification of debt in accordance with ASC 470-50, Debt – Modifications and Extinguishments, thus there was no gain or loss recognized on the transaction.

 

At maturity of the loan, Oncocyte will also pay the Bank an additional final payment fee of $200,000, which was recorded as a deferred financing charge in October 2019 and is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the loan using the effective interest method. As of March 31, 2021, the unamortized deferred financing cost was $50,000.

 

Oncocyte may prepay in full the outstanding principal balance at any time, subject to a prepayment fee equal to 2.0% of the outstanding principal balance if prepaid more than one year but less than two years after October 17, 2019, or 1.0% of the outstanding principal balance if prepaid two years or more after October 17, 2019. Any amounts borrowed and repaid may not be reborrowed.

 

The outstanding principal amount of the loan, with interest accrued, the final payment fee, and the prepayment fee may become due and payable prior to the applicable maturity date if an “Event of Default” as defined in the Amended Loan Agreement occurs. Oncocyte was in compliance with the Amended Loan Agreement as of the filing date of this Report.

 

Bank Warrants

 

In 2017, in connection with the Loan Agreement, Oncocyte issued common stock purchase warrants to the Bank (the “2017 Bank Warrants”) entitling the Bank to purchase shares of Oncocyte common stock in tranches related to the loan tranches under the Loan Agreement. In conjunction with the availability of the loan, the Bank was issued warrants to purchase 8,247 shares of Oncocyte common stock at an exercise price of $4.85 per share, through February 21, 2027. On March 23, 2017, the Bank was issued warrants to purchase an additional 7,321 shares at an exercise price of $5.46 per share, through March 23, 2027. The Bank may elect to exercise the 2017 Bank Warrants on a “cashless exercise” basis and receive a number of shares determined by multiplying the number of shares for which the applicable tranche is being exercised by (A) the excess of the fair market value of the common stock over the applicable exercise price, divided by (B) the fair market value of the common stock. The fair market value of the common stock will be the last closing or sale price on a national securities exchange, interdealer quotation system, or over-the-counter market.

 

On October 17, 2019, in conjunction with Tranche 1 becoming available under the Amended Loan Agreement, Oncocyte issued a common stock purchase warrant to the Bank (the “2019 Bank Warrant”) entitling the Bank to purchase 98,574 shares of Oncocyte common stock at the initial “Warrant Price” of $1.69 per share through October 17, 2029. The number of shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the 2019 Bank Warrant will increase on the date of each draw, if any, on Tranche 2. The number of additional shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the 2019 Bank Warrant will be equal to 0.02% of Oncocyte’s fully diluted equity outstanding for each $1 million draw under Tranche 2. The Warrant Price for Tranche 2 warrant shares will be determined upon each draw of Tranche 2 funds and will be closing price of Oncocyte common stock on the NYSE American or other applicable market on the date immediately before the applicable date on which Oncocyte borrows funds under Tranche 2. The Bank may elect to exercise the 2019 Bank Warrant on a “cashless exercise” basis and receive a number of shares determined by multiplying the number of shares for which the 2019 Bank Warrant is being exercised by (A) the excess of the fair market value of the common stock over the applicable Warrant Price, divided by (B) the fair market value of the common stock. The fair market value of the common stock will be last closing or sale price on a national securities exchange, interdealer quotation system, or over-the-counter market.

 

Paycheck Protection Program Loan

 

On April 23, 2020, Oncocyte obtained a PPP loan from the Bank in the principal amount of $1,140,930. The PPP loan bears interest at a rate of 1% per annum and matures on April 23, 2022. Under the provisions of the PPP loan, the principal amount and accrued interest is subject to forgiveness by the Bank through the SBA. Oncocyte’s loan forgiveness application with the SBA is pending as of the date of this Report. Although Oncocyte was obligated to make monthly payments of principal and interest commencing on November 23, 2020, each in such equal amount required to fully amortize the principal amount outstanding on the PPP loan by the maturity date, Oncocyte has not been billed or charged for any repayment amounts on the PPP loan because of its loan forgiveness application pending status. Oncocyte continues to accrue interest on the PPP loan and there can be no assurance that any part of the PPP loan will be forgiven.

 

The PPP loan promissory note contains customary borrower default provisions and lender remedies, including the right of the Bank to require immediate repayment in full the outstanding principal balance of the PPP loan with accrued interest.
