CREDIT FACILITY AGREEMENTS
In April 2024, the Company executed the 2024 Credit Facility with Pharmakon with maturity in April 2029. The 2024 Credit Facility is collateralized by substantially all of the Company’s presently existing and subsequently acquired assets. Upon execution, the Company made a $75.0 million draw from the initial tranche of the 2024 Credit Facility, a portion of which was utilized to repay all outstanding indebtedness on the Credit Facility with Hercules and SVB (the “2022 Credit Facility”), resulting in total net proceeds of $39.6 million. The 2024 Credit Facility provided for three potential additional term loan tranches in principal amounts up to $25.0 million, $50.0 million, and $50.0 million, respectively, subject to customary conditions to funding and, in the case of the last two tranches, achieving minimum net product sales milestones, which were met. The Company did not draw on any of the three additional tranches of $25.0 million, $50.0 million and $50.0 million, respectively, each of which expired on December 31, 2024, June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2025.
Under the 2024 Credit Facility, the outstanding principal draws accrue interest at a floating rate based upon the secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”), plus a margin of 6.75% per annum. The SOFR is subject to a 3.75% floor. At the extinguishment date of the 2022 Credit Facility, the outstanding principal was accruing interest at the aggregate cap of 11.45%.
The Company was required to pay a specified fee upon the earlier of (i) February 2, 2027 or (ii) the date the Company prepays, in full or in part, the outstanding principal balance of the 2022 Credit Facility (“End of Term Charge”). Upon the signing of the 2024 Credit Facility, the End of Term Charge of $1.4 million was paid in full in April 2024, which was derived by multiplying 4.75% by the $30.0 million outstanding principal balance. Prior to being paid, the End of Term Charge was accreted to interest expense over the expected maturity date. The Company recognized a loss on debt extinguishment of $1.9 million in the Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss for the year ended December 31, 2024.
As of December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the effective interest rates for the full term of the Credit Facilities was 11.99%, 12.61%, and 11.96%, respectively. The Company recognized interest expense in the accompanying Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss in connection with the Credit Facilities as follows:
