10. MAIN STREET TERM LOAN
On December 8, 2020, the Company executed the MSLP Loan Agreement, the MSLP Note, and related documents for a loan in the aggregate amount of $50,000 for which CNB will serve as a lender pursuant to the MSLP Loan. On December 9, 2020, the MSLP Loan had been funded and the transaction was closed. The MSLP Note has a term of years and bears interest at a rate per annum equal to 30-day LIBOR plus 3%. On December 8, 2023 and December 8, 2024, the Company must make an annual payment of principal plus accrued but unpaid interest in an amount equal to fifteen percent (15%) of the outstanding principal balance of the MSLP Note (inclusive of accrued but unpaid interest). The entire outstanding principal balance of the MSLP Note at maturity, together with all accrued and unpaid interest is due and payable in full on December 8, 2025. The Company may prepay the MSLP Loan at any time without incurring any prepayment penalties. The MSLP Note provides for customary events of default, including, among others, those relating to a failure to make payment, bankruptcy, breaches of representations and covenants, and the occurrence of certain events. In addition, the MSLP Loan Agreement and MSLP Note contain various covenants that limit the Company’s ability to engage in specified types of transactions. Subject to limited exceptions, these covenants limit the Company’s ability, without CNB’s consent, to, among other things, sell, lease, transfer, exclusively license or dispose of the Company’s assets, incur, create, or permit to exist additional indebtedness, or liens, to make dividends and other restricted payments, and to make certain changes to its ownership structure.

The Madryn Credit Agreement was terminated effective December 9, 2020 upon the funding and closing of the MSLP Loan and the issuance of the Notes.
On October 4, 2023, the Company entered into the 2023 Exchange Agreement with the Madryn Noteholders. Pursuant to the 2023 Exchange Agreement, the Madryn Noteholders agreed to exchange (the "Exchange") $26.695 million in aggregate principal amount of outstanding secured convertible notes of the Company for (i) secured subordinated convertible notes in aggregate principal amount of $22.792 million (the “New Convertible Notes”) and (ii) 248,755 shares of newly-created convertible preferred stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share designated as "Series X Convertible Preferred Stock" (the "Series X Preferred Stock"). The Series X Preferred Stock is priced at $221.10 per share, being equal to the "Minimum Price" as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d), multiplied by 0.9091. The New Convertible Notes accrue interest at a rate of 3-month adjusted term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus 8.50% per annum. In the case of an event of default under the New Convertible Notes, the then-applicable interest rate will increase by four percent (4.00%) per annum. Interest is payable in kind in arrears on the last business day of each calendar quarter of each year after the original issuance date, beginning on December 31, 2023. The New Convertible Notes mature on , unless earlier redeemed or converted. As part of the extinguishment of principal, the Company recognized a $2.0 million loss.
On May 24, 2024, as required by the 2024 Exchange Agreement (Note 10), the New Convertible Notes were amended to, among other things, align the covenant protections in favor of the Madryn Noteholders with the MSLP Loan Agreement, as amended by the MSLP Loan Amendment.
As of December 31, 2024, the Company had approximately $27.1 million principal and interest of New Convertible Notes and Notes outstanding that were issued pursuant to the 2024 Exchange Agreement.
In connection with the New Convertible Notes and Notes, the Company recognized interest expense of $3,502 and $2,438 during the years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The conversion feature, providing the Madryn Noteholders with a right to receive the Company’s shares upon conversion of the New Convertible Notes and Notes, was qualified for a scope exception in ASC 815-10-15 and did not require bifurcation. The New Convertible Notes and Notes also contained embedded redemption features that provided multiple redemption alternatives. Certain redemption features provided the Madryn Noteholders with a right to receive cash and a variable number of shares upon change of control and an event of default (as defined in the New Notes and Notes). The Company evaluated redemption upon change of control and an event of default under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and determined that these two redemption features required bifurcation. These embedded derivatives were accounted for as liabilities at their estimated fair value as of the date of issuance, and then subsequently remeasured to fair value as of each balance sheet date, with the related remeasurement adjustment being recognized as a component of change in fair value of derivative liabilities in the consolidated statements of operations.
The scheduled payments, inclusive of principal and interest, on the outstanding borrowings of the Notes and New Convertible Notes as of December 31, 2024 totals $35,176 and are due in 2026. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company did make any principal repayments.
