WAB and PWB Term Loans

WAB Term Loan

In December 2016, the Company entered into a loan agreement with Western Alliance Bank ("WAB loan") and received a loan in the principal amount of $7,000 that bore interest on the outstanding daily balance at a floating per annum rate equal to the 30-day U.S. LIBOR plus 5.41%. The Company was required to pay accrued interest on the WAB loan on the first day of each month through and including January 1, 2018. Commencing on February 1, 2018, the Company was required to make equal monthly payments of principal, together with accrued and unpaid interest maturing on January 1, 2021. On April 29, 2020 the Company entered into a second amendment to the December 2016 WAB loan agreement to defer principal payments for three months beginning in May 2020, with adjustments when the principal payments resumed on August 1, 2020. During the three-month deferral period the Company was required to make interest only payments.

The final payment fee, debt issuance costs, and the initial fair value of the success fee combined with the stated interest resulted in an effective interest rate for the WAB loan of 8.49% for the year ended December 31, 2020. The final payment fee, initial fair value of the success fee, and debt issuance costs were accreted/amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the life of the loan.

PWB Term Loan

In August 2020, the Company entered into a new loan agreement (the "PWB Loan Agreement") with a different lender, Pacific Western Bank, and received a loan in the principal amount of $2,000 (the "PWB Term Loan") that bears interest on the outstanding daily balance at a rate equal to the greater of: (a) 0.50% above the variable rate of interest announced by the lender as its “prime rate” then in effect; or (b) 4.50%. The PWB Loan Agreement created a first priority security interest with respect to substantially all assets of the Company, including proceeds of intellectual property, but expressly excluding intellectual property itself.

The proceeds of the PWB Term Loan were used to pay off the entire amount of the Company's indebtedness on the WAB loan which amounted to $1,512. Pursuant to the PWB Loan Agreement, the remainder of the PWB Term Loan proceeds may be used for general corporate purposes which totaled $480, net of debt discounts and issuance costs.

The Company is required to pay accrued interest on the current loan on the 13th day of each month through and including August 13, 2023. The principal balance of the PWB Term Loan matures on August 13, 2023, at which time all unpaid principal and accrued and unpaid interest shall be due and payable in full. The interest rate of the PWB Term Loan is subject to increase in the event of late payments and after occurrence of and during the continuation of an event of default. Upon maturity, all unpaid principal and accrued and unpaid interest shall be due and payable in full. The Company may elect to prepay the PWB Term Loan at any time, in whole or in part, without penalty or premium.
The PWB Loan Agreement contains a liquidity covenant, which requires that the Company maintain unrestricted cash and cash equivalents in accounts of the lender or subject to control agreements in favor of the lender in an amount equal to at least the outstanding balance of the PWB Term Loan, which was $2,000 as of December 31, 2020. On December 31, 2020, with cash on hand of $12,862, the Company was compliant with this liquidity covenant and all other covenants.

The debt issuance costs and debt discounts combined with the stated interest resulted in an effective interest rate of 4.64% for the year ended December 31, 2020. The debt issuance costs will be amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the life of the loan.

Paycheck Protection Program Loan

On April 20, 2020, the Company received an unsecured loan in the principal amount of $1,086 under the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration, or the SBA, pursuant to the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), or the PPP loan. The PPP loan provides for an interest rate of 1.00% per year, and matures two years after the date of initial disbursement. The terms of the PPP Loan were subsequently revised in accordance with the provisions of the Paycheck Protection Flexibility Act of 2020, or the PPP Flexibility Act, which was enacted on June 5, 2020. Based on management's interpretation of the the PPP Flexibility Act, the Company expects to begin making principal and interest payments on the PPP loan beginning in 2022. The overall timing of payments with respect to the amounts of principal and interest due could change based on the ultimate determination of what may or may not be forgiven. The PPP loan may be used for payroll costs, costs related to certain group health care benefits and insurance premiums, rent payments, utility payments, mortgage interest payments and interest payments on any other debt obligation that were incurred before February 15, 2020. Under the terms of the CARES Act and the PPP Flexibility Act, the Company may apply for and be granted forgiveness for all or a portion of loan granted under the PPP loan, with such forgiveness to be determined, subject to limitations (including where employees of the Company have been terminated and not re-hired by a certain date), based on the use of the loan proceeds for payment of payroll costs and any payments of mortgage interest, rent, and utilities. The terms of any forgiveness may also be subject to further requirements in regulations and guidelines adopted by the SBA. While the Company currently believes that the majority of the use of the PPP loan proceeds will meet the conditions for forgiveness under the PPP, no assurance is provided that the Company will obtain partial forgiveness of the loan. Terms of the loan may change subject to future enactments relating to the PPP.
