The Company entered into the Term Loan on March 4, 2022. Under the Term Loan, $30.0 million of the $75.0 million loan was funded on the Closing Date, with the remaining $45.0 million fundable if the Company achieved certain predetermined milestones.

The Term Loan accrued interest at a variable annual rate equal to 8.75% plus the greater of (i) 0.50% and (ii) the three month LIBOR Rate for U.S. dollar deposits or the rate otherwise reasonably determined by the Lender to be the rate at which U.S. dollar deposits with a term of three months would be offered by banks in London, England to major banks in the London or other offshore interbank market  (the “Applicable Rate”); provided that the Applicable Rate would not be less than 9.25%. On December 7, 2022, the Company entered into the First Amendment (the “First Amendment”) to the Loan Agreement by and between the Company and Runway. The First Amendment amended certain definitions and other provisions of the Loan Agreement to replace LIBOR-based benchmark rates applicable to loans outstanding under the Loan Agreement with SOFR-based rates, subject to adjustments as specified in the First Amendment. The Applicable Rate at March 31, 2023 was 13.77%. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company made interest payments of $1.0 million recorded in interest expense in the Unaudited Statements of Operations.

Amortization of the debt discount associated with the Term Loan was approximately $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, and was recorded in interest expense in the Unaudited Statements of Operations.

In addition, the Term Loan was secured by a lien on substantially all of the Company’s assets other than certain intellectual property assets and certain other excluded collateral, and it contained a minimum liquidity covenant and other covenants that included among other items: (i) limits on indebtedness, and (ii) repurchase of stock from employees, officers and directors.
