Journey Medical Corporation (the “Company”) and its subsidiary, JG Pharma, Inc. (“JGP”), are party to that certain Loan and Security Agreement, dated March 31, 2021 (as amended, the “EWB Facility”), with East West Bank (“EWB”) under which EWB originally made a $7.5 million line of credit available to the Company. On January 12, 2022, the EWB Facility was amended to increase the borrowing capacity of the revolving line of credit to $10.0 million and add a term loan not to exceed $20.0 million. The Company subsequently borrowed the full $20 million under the term loan. On May 16, 2023, the Company entered into the Fifth Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement with EWB and JGP (the “2023 Amendment”). Under the 2023 Amendment, the Company agreed to pay off $10 million of the term loan upon the closing of the 2023 Amendment. The term loan previously had an interest-only payment period through January 12, 2024, after which the outstanding balance of the term loan was to have been payable in equal monthly installments of principal, plus all accrued interest, through the term loan maturity date. The 2023 Amendment revises the maturity date of the term loan from January 12, 2026 to July 1, 2024 and provides that the Company is no longer required to make monthly installments of principal of the term loan, and instead, is required to make interest-only payments until the maturity date, at which time all principal and all accrued but unpaid interest will be due. The Company may elect to prepay all or any part of the term loan without penalty or premium, but the Company may not re-borrow any amount, once repaid. The 2023 Amendment removed the revolving line of credit as of the effective date of the 2023 Amendment. There were no amounts outstanding under the revolving line of credit as of such date. The EWB Facility included customary financial covenants such as collateral ratios and minimum liquidity provisions. Upon the effectiveness of the 2023 Amendment, all of these financial covenants were removed, except for the minimum liquidity ratio, and certain other nonfinancial covenants were added. To ensure compliance with the minimum liquidity ratio, the Company is now required to maintain $8.75 million in deposit accounts at EWB that are subject to assignment to EWB until August 31 2023, when this amount increases to $10 million.

On May 22, 2023, the Company issued a press release to provide a corporate update and to announce its financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2023. A copy of such press release is being furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.
