ClearPoint Neuro, Inc. Debt Disclosure
In January 2020, the Company completed a financing transaction with two investors (the “2020 Convertible Noteholders”), whereby the Company issued an aggregate principal amount of $17.5 million of secured convertible notes (the “First Closing Notes”) pursuant to the SPA, which, unless earlier converted or redeemed, were to mature on January 29, 2025, and bore interest at a rate equal to the sum of (i) the greater of (a) the three (3)-month Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) and (b) two percent (2%), plus (ii) a margin of 2% on the outstanding balance of the First Closing Notes, payable quarterly on the first business day of each calendar quarter. The First Closing Notes were convertible at a price of $6.00 per share, subject to certain adjustments set forth in the SPA and the note agreement and could not be prepaid without the consent of the noteholder. In May 2021, one of the 2020 Convertible Noteholders (the “Converting Noteholder”) converted the entire $7.5 million principal amount of such Converting Noteholder’s First Closing Note, and related accrued interest of approximately $0.04 million, into 1,256,143 shares of the Company’s common stock.
In December 2020, the Company issued the Second Closing Note (as defined in the SPA) to one of the 2020 Convertible Noteholders in an aggregate principal amount of $7.5 million. In November 2021, the holder of the Second Closing Note converted the entire $7.5 million principal amount of such note, along with related accrued and payment in-kind interest aggregating $0.3 million, into 773,446 shares of the Company's common stock.
On August 23, 2024, the Company repaid all amounts owing under the remaining First Closing Note, which included the principal amount of $10.0 million, and related accrued interest of $0.1 million. In connection with the prepayment, the noteholder waived all prohibitions on prepayment of the note, and all collateral securing the note was released.
The estimated fair value of the First Closing Note, developed based on inputs classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy, was approximately $12.5 million as of December 31, 2023.

About Debt Disclosures
Debt disclosures detail a company's borrowing structure — the types of instruments, interest rates, maturity schedule, and covenant restrictions that define its financial obligations and flexibility. This section is essential for assessing refinancing risk, interest rate exposure, and the margin of safety against financial distress.
Key signals: the maturity schedule reveals concentration risk — large maturities within 1-2 years during tight credit markets can force dilutive refinancing or asset sales. Compare the fair value of debt against carrying amount to gauge whether the market views the company's credit risk differently than the balance sheet suggests. Watch covenant compliance disclosures for tightening cushions, especially leverage and interest coverage ratios. Variable-rate debt exposure quantifies sensitivity to interest rate changes. Secured versus unsecured mix affects recovery rates and future borrowing capacity. Compare net debt-to-EBITDA against industry peers and covenant limits to assess financial health.
