Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On November 7, 2024, the Company, as borrower, and its U.S. subsidiaries entered into a $275 million secured credit agreement (the “New Credit Agreement”) with Oxford Finance LLC, as administrative agent and as collateral agent (“Oxford”) and certain lenders party thereto, including Oxford and K2 Healthventures LLC. Certain of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are expected to join the New Credit Agreement as guarantors shortly after the signing date. The New Credit Agreement provides for a $160 million senior secured term loan (the “Initial Term Loan”), and a $65 million senior secured delayed draw term loan facility (the “Term B Loan”). Draws under the Term B Loan are at the Company’s option from January 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026, subject to, among other conditions, the Company’s continuing compliance with a pro-forma total debt-to-EBITDA leverage ratio of less than 4.0x. EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure which represents earnings before interest income (expense), income taxes, depreciation, amortization, and other negotiated addbacks and adjustments. In addition, at Oxford's discretion, an additional $50 million of draw capacity is available to the Company, through January 1, 2029 (the “Term C Loan” and, together with the Term B Loan, the “Delayed Draw Term Loans” and collectively with the Initial Term Loan, the “Credit Facilities”). The Initial Term Loan and Delayed Draw Term Loans, to the extent ultimately drawn, will each mature in November 2029, following an interest-only payment period ending in December 2028, and monthly amortization of principal and accrued interest between January 2029 and November 2029.

The Credit Facilities will be secured by a perfected first priority lien, or the equivalent security interest in each applicable jurisdiction, on substantially all of the assets of the Company and the applicable guarantors (subject to customary carveouts), including their respective U.S. intellectual property assets.

Borrowings under the Credit Facilities bear interest at a percentage rate equal to the greater of 8.75% or 5.75% plus the one-month term SOFR rate. A facility fee equal to 1.5% of each applicable funded loan tranche is due at the time of funding of such respective tranche, and a 0.5% unused line fee is payable annually on the Term B Loan.

The New Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including limitations on the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ ability to incur additional debt, grant or permit additional liens, make certain investments and acquisitions, merge or consolidate with others, dispose of certain assets, pay dividends and distributions, pay subordinated indebtedness, and enter into affiliate transactions, as well as financial covenants that the Company (i) possess at least $45 million of unrestricted cash at the time the Initial Term Loan is funded and thereafter maintain $15 million of unrestricted cash in U.S.-based accounts, and (ii) maintain a maximum total debt-to-EBITDA leverage ratio no greater than 4.0x during the term of the facility.

The New Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties of the Company and the Guarantors. These representations and warranties have been made solely for the benefit of the Agent and the lenders party to the New Credit Agreement and such representations and warranties should not be relied on by any other person, including investors. In addition, such representations and warranties (i) have been qualified by disclosures made to the Agent and the lenders in connection with the agreement, (ii) are subject to the materiality standards contained in the agreement which may differ from what may be viewed as material by investors and (iii) were made only as of the date of the agreement or such other date as is specified in the agreement.

The foregoing description does not constitute a complete summary of the terms of the New Credit Agreement and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Financing Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference

Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.
