SWK Credit Facility

On December 27, 2023, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with SWK. The Credit Agreement provides for a term loan facility (the “Credit Facility”) in the original principal amount of up to $20.0 million. On the closing date of the facility, the Company drew $15.0 million. On June 26, 2024, the Company drew the remaining $5.0 million under the Credit Facility. On July 9, 2024, the Company entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement with SWK. The Amendment increased the original principal amount of the Credit Facility from $20.0 million to $25.0 million. The $5.0 million of additional principal added in the Amendment was contractually required to be drawn upon FDA approval of Emrosi, subject to the Company receiving approval on or before June 30, 2025. The Company received FDA approval for Emrosi on November 1, 2024 and the Company drew on the remaining $5.0 million on November 25, 2024.

Term loans under the Credit Facility (“Term Loans”) mature on December 27, 2027, accrue interest which is payable quarterly in arrears and bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the three-month term SOFR (subject to a SOFR floor of 5%) plus 7.75%. The interest rate resets quarterly.

Beginning in February 2026, the Company is required to repay a portion of the outstanding principal of the Term Loans quarterly in an amount equal to 7.5% of the principal amount of funded Term Loans, with any remaining principal balance due on the maturity date. If the total revenue of the Company, measured on a trailing twelve-month basis, is greater than $70.0 million as of December 31, 2025, the principal repayment start date is extended from February 2026 to February 2027, at which point the Company is required to repay a portion of the outstanding principal of the Term Loans quarterly in an amount equal to 15% of the principal amount of funded Term Loans, with any remaining principal balance due on the maturity date.

The Company may at any time prepay the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loans in whole or in part. Prepayment of the Term Loans is subject to payment of a prepayment premium equal to (i) 1% of the Term Loans prepaid if the Term Loans are prepaid on or after the first anniversary of the Closing Date but prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, or (ii) 0% if prepaid thereafter.

Upon repayment in full of the Term Loans, the Company will pay an exit fee equal to 5% of the original principal amount of the Term Loans. Additionally, the Company paid an origination fee of $0.2 million on the closing date of the Credit Facility and incurred issuance costs of $0.2 million, both of which have been recorded as a debt discount. The Company is accreting the carrying value of the Term Loans to the original principal balance plus the exit fee over the term of the loan using the effective interest method. The amortization of the discount is accounted for as interest expense. The effective interest rate on the Term Loans as of March 31, 2025 was 14.6%. The fair value of the debt approximates its carrying value.

The Credit Facility also includes both revenue and liquidity covenants, restrictions as to payment of dividends, and is secured by substantially all assets of the Company. As of March 31, 2025, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants under the Credit Facility.

As of March 31, 2025, the contractual maturities of the long-term debt, including the payment of the exit fee, are as follows (dollars in thousands):
