Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Revolving Credit Agreement
As previously disclosed as being contemplated, on March 20, 2019 (the “Closing Date”), Egalet Corporation (the “Company”) entered into a credit agreement (the “Revolving Credit Agreement”) with Cantor Fitzgerald Securities as administrative agent and collateral agent (in such capacities, the “Agent”) and certain funds managed by Highbridge Capital Management, LLC, as lenders (collectively, the “Lenders”), which Revolving Credit Agreement consists of a $20.0 million revolving line of credit. The Company drew $5.0 million on the Closing Date and must maintain at least 25% of the commitment amount outstanding at all times. The Company will use the proceeds of the loans under the Revolving Credit Agreement for working capital purposes and to pay costs and expenses incurred by the Revolving Credit Agreement and related transactions.
Advances under the Revolving Credit Agreement bear interest at the Company’s option at either the LIBOR Rate (as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement) plus 5.00% or the Base Rate (as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement) plus 4.00%. The Revolving Credit Agreement matures on March 20, 2022.
The obligations of the Company under the Revolving Credit Agreement are unconditionally guaranteed on a senior secured basis by the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, Egalet US Inc. and Egalet Ltd. (collectively, the “Guarantors”). As security for the Company’s obligations under the Revolving Credit Agreement, the Company and the Guarantors have granted to the Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders and other secured parties, a first priority lien on substantially all of their tangible and intangible personal property (other than certain specified excluded assets), including proceeds and accounts related to this property and the capital stock of the Guarantors, pursuant to the terms of that certain Collateral Agreement, dated as of the Closing Date (the “Collateral Agreement”), among the Company and the Guarantors in favor of the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders and other secured parties. The Revolving Credit Agreement will (i) be equal in right of payment to all existing and future pari passu indebtedness of the Company, (ii) be senior in right of payment to the obligations of the Company pursuant to that certain Indenture, dated as of January 31, 2019 (the “Indenture”), among the Company, the Guarantors and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee and collateral agent, and (iii) be senior in right of payment to all existing and future subordinated indebtedness of the Company.
The Company may terminate the commitments under the Revolving Credit Agreement at its option, in whole or in part from time to time, subject to a termination fee equal to (x) 1.0% from the Closing Date through March 20, 2020 and (y) 0.50% from March 20, 2020 through March 20, 2021.
Pursuant to the Revolving Credit Agreement, the Company and its subsidiaries must also comply with certain customary affirmative covenants, such as furnishing financial statements to the Lenders, and negative covenants, including limitations on the following: incurring debt; issuing preferred and/or disqualified stock; paying dividends, repurchasing shares and, under certain conditions, making certain other restricted payments; prepaying, redeeming or purchasing subordinated debt; conducting a merger or consolidation involving the Company; engaging in certain transactions with affiliates; disposing of assets under certain circumstances; and making certain investments, in each
case, other than those permitted by the Revolving Credit Agreement. In addition, commencing with the fiscal quarter ending on December 31, 2019, the Company must maintain a minimum level of consolidated liquidity, based on unrestricted cash on hand and availability under any revolving credit facility, equal to the greater of (1) the quotient of the outstanding principal amount of the senior secured notes issued pursuant to the Indenture divided by 9.5 and (2) $7,500,000.
The Revolving Credit Agreement contains customary events of default (including the Company’s failure to make any payment of principal or interest when due and payable, the failure to comply with the minimum consolidated liquidity covenant or other covenants described above, or upon a Change of Control (as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement)), and, upon such events of default occurring and continuing, the Lenders may accelerate the loans. In the event of certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization involving the Company or its subsidiaries, the obligations under the Revolving Credit Agreement will automatically become due and payable. With respect to any event of default due to the Company’s non-compliance with the minimum liquidity covenant (described above), the Company may, within ten business days, cure such default through the issuance of equity securities, subordinated debt securities or certain other capital contributions.
The description of the Revolving Credit Agreement contained herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Revolving Credit Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
Collateral Agreement
On the Closing Date and in connection with its entry into of the Revolving Credit Agreement, the Company and the Guarantors entered into the Collateral Agreement, which granted a first priority lien on substantially all of the Company’s and the Guarantors’ assets, in each case subject to certain existing liens and other exclusions.
The description of the Collateral Agreement contained herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Collateral Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
