SLR Credit Facilities

In November 2022, the Company entered into two senior secured credit facilities, which collectively provided for borrowings of up to $300.0 million as follows: (i) up to a $250.0 million term loan facility pursuant to a loan and security agreement (the SLR Loan Agreement) among SLR Investment Corp., as collateral agent (SLR Agent), the lenders from time to time party thereto (the Term Loan Lenders) and the Company (the SLR Term Loan Facility), and (ii) up to a $50.0 million asset-based revolving credit facility pursuant to a credit agreement (the SLR Revolving Credit Agreement, together with the SLR Loan Agreement, the SLR Credit Facility Agreements) among Gemino Healthcare Finance, LLC d/b/a SLR Healthcare ABL, as lender, and the Company (the SLR Revolver, together with the SLR Term Loan Facility, the SLR Credit Facilities).

As of December 31, 2024, $200.0 million was outstanding under the SLR Term Loan Facility and no amounts were outstanding under the SLR Revolver. On January 3, 2025, the Company terminated the SLR Credit Facility Agreements and repaid in full all amounts due, including a final payment of $7.5 million and a termination fee of $0.1 million, using the proceeds from the Perceptive Term Loan as described below, together with cash on hand. The repayment of the SLR Credit Facilities was accounted for as a debt extinguishment, which resulted in a loss on extinguishment of $7.7 million recorded in the accompanying statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Perceptive Term Loan

On January 3, 2025, the Company entered into a senior secured credit facility for borrowings up to an aggregate principal amount of $125.0 million pursuant to the Perceptive Credit Agreement with Perceptive Credit Holdings IV, LP (who also participated in the Private Placement). Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Perceptive Credit Agreement, the lenders agreed to extend term loans to the Company in an aggregate principal amount of up to $125.0 million, comprised of (i) a term loan of $100.0 million (the Initial Term Loan), which was funded on January 8, 2025 (the Closing Date), and (ii) a delayed draw term loan of up to $25.0 million (the Delayed Draw Loan). The Initial Term Loan and the Delayed Draw Loan are referred to collectively as the Perceptive Term Loan. The Delayed Draw Loan is available for funding until July 14, 2027, subject to the achievement of certain revenue milestone and other customary conditions.

The principal amount outstanding under the Loans will accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to (i) the greater of (a) one-month term SOFR or (b) 4.00% per annum, plus (ii) an applicable margin of 8.00%, payable monthly in arrears. During the first two years after the Closing Date, a portion of the accrued interest equal to 1.50% per annum will be paid in kind and added to the principal amount of the Loans on each monthly interest payment date. The outstanding principal amount of the Loans will be due and payable on the five year anniversary of the Closing Date (the Maturity Date).

The Company paid the lenders a non-refundable closing fee in the amount of $1.0 million in respect of the Initial Term Loan on the Closing Date. The Company is obligated to pay the lenders a non-refundable closing fee in the amount of $250,000 in respect of the Delayed Draw Loan, to be due and payable upon the funding of the Delayed Draw Loan.

On the Closing Date, the Company issued to Perceptive Credit Holdings IV, LP as the initial lender a warrant to purchase 375,000 of shares of the Company’s common stock (the Closing Date Warrant), at an exercise price equal to $12.00 per share. If the Company draws the Delayed Draw Loan, the Company is required to issue additional warrant(s) to the lenders to purchase 94,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the Delayed Draw Warrant), at an exercise price equal to the average closing price of the Company’s common stock for the 5 trading days immediately preceding the issuance date of the Delayed Draw Warrant. Both the Closing Date Warrant and the Delayed Draw Warrant, if issued, are exercisable during the seven years after the date of issuance.

The fair value of the Closing Date Warrant of $4.4 million and the debt issuance costs paid directly to Perceptive Credit Holdings IV, LP along with other debt issuance costs amounting to $6.5 million were accounted for as a direct deduction from the term loan balance on the balance sheets and are being recognized as non-cash interest expense over the term of the loan using the effective interest method.

The Company may voluntarily prepay the outstanding loan(s), subject to a prepayment premium of (i) 10.0% of the principal amount of the prepaid loan(s), if prepaid prior to or on the first anniversary of the Closing Date, (ii) 8.0% of the principal amount of the prepaid Loans, if prepaid after the first anniversary of the Closing Date through and including the second anniversary of the Closing Date, (iii) 4.0% of the principal amount of the prepaid loan(s), if prepaid after the second anniversary of the Closing Date through and including the third anniversary of the Closing Date, (iv) 2.0% of the principal amount of the prepaid Loans, if prepaid after the third anniversary of the Closing Date through and including the fourth anniversary of the Closing Date, and (v) 0.00% of the principal amount of the prepaid loan(s), if prepaid after the fourth anniversary of the Closing Date.

The Perceptive Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and customary affirmative and negative covenants, including, among others, requirements as to financial reporting and insurance and restrictions on the Company’s ability to dispose of its business or property, to change its line of business, to liquidate or dissolve, to enter into any change in control transaction, to merge or consolidate with any other entity or to acquire all or substantially all the capital stock or property of another entity, to incur additional indebtedness, to incur liens on its property or to pay any dividends or other distributions on capital stock, in each case with certain exceptions. The Company has also agreed to certain financial covenants that require the Company to (i) maintain a minimum cash balance of at least $10.0 million in accounts subject to control agreements in favor of Agent, and (ii) achieve certain trailing twelve-month net revenue targets as set forth in the Perceptive Credit Agreement.

In addition, the Perceptive Credit Agreement contains customary events of default that entitle the Agent to cause the Company’s indebtedness under the Perceptive Credit Agreement to become immediately due and payable, and to exercise remedies against the Company and the collateral securing the obligations owed under the Perceptive Credit Agreement. Under the Perceptive Credit Agreement, an event of default will occur if, among other things, the Company fails to make payments under the Perceptive Credit Agreement, the Company breaches certain covenants under the Perceptive Credit Agreement, subject to specified cure periods with respect to certain breaches, a material adverse change or a material regulatory event has occurred under the Perceptive Credit Agreement, or the Company or its assets become subject to certain legal proceedings, such as bankruptcy proceedings. Upon the occurrence and for the duration of an event of default, an additional default interest rate equal to 4.0% per annum will apply to all obligations owed under the Perceptive Credit Agreement.

The annual principal annual payments, excluding interest payments and the final fee, due on the term loan as of December 31, 2025 were as follows (in thousands):

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.
