Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On May 16, 2016, Omeros Corporation (“Omeros”) entered into a First Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement (the “Amendment”) with Oxford Finance LLC, as a lender and as collateral agent (“Oxford”), and East West Bank, as a lender (“EWB,” and together with Oxford in its capacity as a lender, the “Lenders”), which amended the Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of December 30, 2015, among Omeros and the Lenders (the “Loan Agreement”). Pursuant to the Amendment, among other things, (1) the Lenders agreed to fund the remaining $20.0 million contemplated by the Loan Agreement, consisting of two $10.0 million tranches (collectively, the “Additional Loans”) without requiring Omeros to satisfy the net product revenue requirements in the Loan Agreement, and (2) the final payment fee rate applicable to the Additional Loans was increased from 5.25% to 6.25% (as modified, the “Final Payment Percentage”) reflecting the accelerated draw-down of the Additional Loans. On May 18, 2016, the Lenders funded the Additional Loans and Omeros issued the Warrants (described below) to the Lenders.

Interest on the Additional Loans accrues at an annual fixed rate of 9.25%. Payments on the Additional Loans are interest only, payable monthly, in arrears, through July 1, 2017. Beginning August 1, 2017, Omeros will be obligated to make 30 monthly payments of principal and interest. All unpaid principal and accrued and unpaid interest will be due and payable on January 1, 2020 (the “Maturity Date”). Omeros is required to pay the Lenders the Final Payment Percentage with respect to the amount of the Additional Loans that is repaid (i.e., $1.25 million in aggregate), upon the earliest to occur of (1) the Maturity Date, (2) the acceleration of any amount outstanding under the Agreement or (3) the prepayment of all or a portion of the Additional Loans. Omeros may prepay all or a portion of the outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest on the Additional Loans at any time upon prior notice to the Lenders and the payment of a fee equal to 1.00% of the prepaid principal amount in addition to the pro rata portion of the Final Payment Percentage attributable to the prepaid principal amount.

In connection with the funding of the Additional Loans, Omeros issued to the Lenders warrants to purchase an aggregate of 100,602 shares of Omeros common stock (the “Warrants”). The Warrants are exercisable for seven years at an exercise price per share of $9.94, which was the closing price of Omeros’ common stock on May 16, 2016. The Warrants were issued to the Lenders under the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

The foregoing description of the Amendment and the Warrants is only a summary of their respective material terms and does not purport to be complete. Copies of the Amendment, the form of Secured Promissory Note issued to each Lender and the form of Warrant issued to each Lender are attached as Exhibit 10.1, Exhibit 10.2 and Exhibit 10.3, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.

Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

The information set forth in Item 1.01 above with respect to the Amendment is incorporated herein by reference.
