Amendment to the East West Bank Working Capital Line of Credit

On January 12, 2022, the Company entered into a third amendment (the “Amendment”) of its loan and security agreement with East West Bank, which increased the borrowing capacity of the Company’s revolving line of credit to $10.0 million, from $7.5 million, and added a term loan not to exceed $20.0 million. Both the revolving line of credit and the term loan mature on January 12, 2026. The term loan includes two tranches, the first of which is a$15.0 million term loan and the second of which is a $5.0 million term loan. On January 12, 2022, the Company borrowed $15.0 million against the first tranche of the term loan to facilitate the VYNE Product Acquisition. The term loan bears interest on its outstanding daily balance at a floating rate equal to 1.73% above the prime rate and is payable monthly, on the first calendar day each month. The term loans contain an interest only payment period through January 12, 2024, with an extension through July 12, 2024 if certain covenants are met, after which the outstanding balance of each term loan is payable in equal monthly installments of principal, plus all accrued interest, through the term loan maturity date. The Company may prepay all or any part of the term loan without penalty or premium, but may not re-borrow any amount, once repaid. Any outstanding borrowing against the revolving line of credit bears interest at a floating rate equal to 0.70% above the prime rate. The Amendment includes customary financial covenants such as collateral ratios and minimum liquidity provisions as well as audit provisions.
