Horizon Credit Agreement

 

On June 27, 2018, the Company entered into a loan agreement with Horizon Technology Finance Corporation (“Horizon”) that provided $10 million in new capital (the “Horizon Credit Agreement”). The Company drew down $10 million upon closing of the Horizon Credit Agreement on June 27, 2018. On August 28, 2020, Horizon and the Company amended the Horizon Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”) whereby Celsion repaid $5 million of the $10 million loan and $0.2 million in related end of term charges, and the remaining $5 million in obligations were restructured as set forth below.

 

Pursuant to the Amendment, the remaining $5 million in obligations of Celsion under the Horizon Credit Agreement are secured by a first-priority security interest in substantially all assets of Celsion other than intellectual property assets. The obligations bear interest at a rate calculated based an amount by which the one-month LIBOR exceeds 2% plus 7.625%. In no event shall the interest rate be less than 9.625%. Payments pursuant to the Amendment are interest only for the first twelve (12) months after August 1, 2020, followed by a 21-month amortization period of principal and interest through the scheduled maturity date on April 1, 2023. In addition, the remaining $5 million in obligations is subject to an end of term fee equal, in the aggregate, to $275,000, which amount shall be payable upon the maturity of the obligations or upon the date of final payment or default, as applicable. In connection with the Amendment, Celsion agreed to a liquidity covenant which provides that, at all times, Celsion shall maintain unrestricted cash and/or cash equivalents on deposit in accounts over which the applicable Lenders maintain an account control agreement in an amount not less than $2.5 million. In addition, pursuant to the Amendment, Celsion agreed to provide evidence to Horizon on or before March 31, 2021, that it received aggregate cash proceeds of not less than $5 million from the sale of equity, debt, its New Jersey net operating losses, or a combination thereof, subsequent to the date of the Amendment. The Company met this requirement during the fourth quarter of 2020.

 

In connection with the Horizon Credit Agreement, the Company incurred financing fees and expenses totaling $175,000 which were recorded and classified as debt discount. In addition, the Company paid loan origination fees of $100,000 which were recorded and classified as debt discount. These debt discount amounts totaling $782,116 were being amortized as interest expense using the effective interest method over the life of the loan. Also, in connection with each of the Horizon Credit Agreement, the Company is required to pay an end of term charge equal to 4.0% of the original loan amount at time of maturity. Therefore, these amounts totaling $400,000 were being amortized as interest expense using the effective interest method over the life of the loan.

 

As a fee in connection with the Horizon Credit Agreement, Celsion issued Horizon warrants exercisable for a total of 190,114 shares of Celsion’s common stock (the “Existing Warrants”) at a per share exercise price of $2.63. The Horizon Warrants were immediately exercisable for cash or by net exercise from the date of grant and will expire after ten years from the date of grant. The Company valued the Horizon Warrants issued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and recorded a total of $507,116 as a direct deduction from the debt liability, consistent with the presentation of debt discounts, and are being amortized as interest expense using the effective interest method over the life of the loan. Pursuant to the Amendment, one-half of the aggregate Existing Warrants, exercisable for a total of 95,057 shares of Celsion’s common stock, have been canceled, and, in connection with the Amendment, Celsion issued Horizon new warrants exercisable at a per share exercise price equal to $1.01 for a total of 247,525 shares of Celsion’s common stock (the “New Warrants” and, together with the Existing Warrants, the “Warrants”). The remaining 95,057 Existing Warrants issued in connection with the Horizon Credit Agreement remain outstanding at a per share exercise price of $2.63.

 

The New Warrants are immediately exercisable for cash or by net exercise from the date of grant and will expire after ten years from the date of grant. Effective October 27, 2020. The Horizon Credit Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and affirmative and negative covenants including, among other things, covenants that limit or restrict Celsion’s ability to grant liens, incur indebtedness, make certain restricted payments, merge, or consolidate and make dispositions of assets.

 

The Amendment was evaluated in accordance with FASB ASC 470-50, Debt-Modifications and Extinguishments, for debt modification and extinguishment accounting. We accounted for the $5 million we repaid as a debt extinguishment thereby reducing the principal obligations accordingly. Also, in connection with the $5 million repayment, we recognized as interest expense, approximately $0.2 million of unamortized debt discount, deferred financing and end of term fees related to the repaid obligation in August 2020.

 

We accounted for the remaining $5 million of obligation under the Amendment as a debt modification to the initial agreement with respect to the minor changes in cash flows. Also, in connection with the $5 million remaining obligations, we recorded $5,000 of financing fees and the New Warrant fair value of $247,548 as additional debt discount on the $5 million remaining obligation. Therefore, approximately $109,706 of unamortized debt discount will be amortized over the remaining life of the new obligations. The $275,000 of end of term fees, net of previously amortized end of term fees totaling $142,605 previously accrued on the original note associated with the $5 million remaining obligation, will be amortized as interest expense over the remaining life of the new obligations.

 

During the three-month period ended March 31, 2021, the Company incurred $120,313 in interest expense and amortized $37,301 as interest expense for debt discounts and end of term charges in connection with the Horizon Credit Agreement. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2020, the Company incurred $243,299 in interest expense and amortized $96,066 as interest expense for debt discounts and end of term charges in connection with the Horizon Credit Agreement.
