The SVB Loan Facility

 

On June 18, 2021, the Company entered into a $10 million loan facility (the “SVB Loan Facility”) with Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”). Celsion immediately used $6 million from the SVB Loan Facility to retire all outstanding indebtedness with Horizon Technology Finance Corporation as further discussed below. Concurrently with this transaction, the Company used $6.0 million of other available funds to establish a restricted cash account which serves as security for the SVB Loan Facility. The remaining $4 million will be available to be drawn down up to 12 months after closing and will be used for working capital and to fund the advancement of the Company’s product pipeline, including GEN-1 for the treatment of newly diagnosed advanced ovarian cancer, as well as other strategic initiatives intended to broaden its product pipeline.

 

 

The SVB Loan Facility is in the form of money market secured indebtedness bearing interest at a calculated WSJ Prime-based variable rate (currently 3.25%). A final payment equal to 3% of the total $10 million commitment amount is due upon maturity or prepayment of the SVB Loan Facility. There was no facility commitment fee and no stock or warrants were issued to SVB. Payments under the loan agreement are interest only for the first 24 months after loan closing, followed by a 24-month amortization period of principal and interest through the scheduled maturity date.

 

In connection with the SVB Loan Facility, the Company incurred financing fees and expenses totalling $243,370 which is recorded and classified as debt discount and are being amortized as interest expense using the effective interest method over the life of the loan. Also, in connection with the SVB Loan Facility, the Company is required to pay an end-of-term fee equal to 3.0% of the original loan amount at time of maturity. Therefore, these amounts totalling $300,000 are being amortized as interest expense using the effective interest method over the life of the loan. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2022, the Company incurred interest expense of $49,375 and amortized $45,315 as interest expense for debt discounts and end-of-term fee in connection with the SVB Financing Facility.

 

Following is a schedule of future principal payments, net of unamortized debt discounts and amortized end-of-term fee, due on the SVB Loan Facility:

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 “Horizon Amendment”) whereby Celsion repaid $5 million of the loan’s principal with $5 million of the loan remaining outstanding.

 

On June 18, 2021, as a condition of entering into the SVB Loan Facility, the Company paid the remaining outstanding principal balance, an early termination fee and the end of term charges in full satisfaction of the Horizon Credit Agreement, as amended. Following is a schedule of the amounts paid to Horizon on June 18, 2021.

 

      
Principal balance at June 18, 2021  $5,000,000 
Early termination fees   150,000 
End of term charges   275,000 
Total  $5,425,000 

 

As an initial fee in connection with the Horizon Credit Agreement, Celsion issued Horizon warrants exercisable for a total of 12,674 shares of Celsion’s common stock (the “Existing Warrants”) at a per share exercise price of $39.45. The Existing 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. Pursuant to the Horizon Amendment, one-half of the aggregate Existing Warrants, exercisable for a total of 6,337 shares of Celsion’s common stock, were canceled, and Celsion issued Horizon new warrants exercisable at a per share exercise price equal to $15.15 for a total of 16,501 shares of Celsion’s common stock (the “New Warrants”). The New 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 remaining 6,337 Existing Warrants issued in connection with the Horizon Credit Agreement remain outstanding at a per share exercise price of $39.45.

 

The Company valued the warrants issued to Horizon using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and recorded as of the respective issuance dates a total of $507,116 for the Existing Warrants and $247,548 for the New Warrants as a direct deduction from the debt liability, consistent with the presentation of debt discounts, which was amortized as interest expense using the effective interest method over the life of the loan until the loan was terminated on June 18, 2021.

 

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.
