Notes Payable |
The Company and its subsidiaries are party to a number of loans with affiliates and unrelated parties. At September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, notes payable consisted of the following:
Notes Payable – Third Parties
On September 15, 2016, the Company entered into an agreement with two investors whereby the Company sold to the investors convertible notes in the aggregate principal amount of $0.4 million (the “September 2016 Notes”). The September 2016 Notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $0.25 per share. In conjunction with the sale of the September 2016 Notes, the Company issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2 million shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.40 per share. Based on the allocation of the net proceeds from the September 2016 Notes to the fair value of the warrants, and the resulting beneficial conversion features, the Company recognized a discount for the entire face value of the September 2016 Notes, which is being accreted through the notes’ maturity date of March 15, 2017. The Company has determined that the warrants issued in this transaction do not qualify for equity treatment in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. As a result, the Company recognized a derivative liability associated with these warrants in the amount of $0.3 million as of September 30, 2016.
On March 31, 2016, the Company entered into an agreement to pledge certain of its accounts receivable as collateral against a prepaid forward purchase contract whereby the Company received consideration in the amount of $5.0 million. The receivables had an estimated collectable value of $8.7 million which had been adjusted down to approximately $4.3 million on the Company’s balance sheet as of March 31, 2016. As of September 30, 2016, the carrying value of these receivables was $0.2 million. In exchange for the consideration received, the counterparty received the right to: (i) a 20% per annum investment return from the Company on the consideration, with a minimum repayment term of six months and minimum return of $0.5 million, (ii) all payments recovered from the accounts receivable up to $5.25 million, if paid in full within six months, or $5.5 million, if not paid in full within six months, and (iii) 20% of all payments of the accounts receivable in excess of amounts received in (i) and (ii). On March 31, 2017, to the extent that the counterparty has not been paid $6.0 million, the Company is required to pay the difference. Christopher Diamantis, a director of the Company, guaranteed the Company's payment obligation of up to $6.0 million. For providing the guarantee, and to the extent that the counterparty receives amounts payable under clause (ii) above exceeding $5.0 million, Mr. Diamantis will be paid a fee by the counterparty equal to the amount by which the amount received under clause (ii) above exceeds $5.0 million ($250,000 or $500,000, depending on the timing of payment). In addition, the Company agreed to pay Mr. Diamantis $0.5 million in connection with his providing the guarantee. This amount was settled in August of 2016 with the issuance of shares of the Company’s common stock and warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock (see note 5).
The Company did not make the monthly principal and interest payments due under the TCA Debenture for October, 2016 and November, 2016, and currently does not have the financial resources to satisfy this obligation. The Company is currently negotiating a forbearance agreement with the lender.
The Company had been negotiating with the holders of the Tegal Notes to exchange their notes for equity securities of the Company. In connection with such negotiations, the Company did not make the principal payments that were due on July 12, 2016. As a result, the entire amounts outstanding as of September 30, 2016 are reflected in current liabilities in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The Company and the holders of the Tegal Notes have not reached an agreement on an exchange and on October 14, 2016 the Company received a letter from the holders demanding payment of the amounts that were due on July 12, 2016, and that the holders reserved the right to declare an event of default under the terms of the notes in the event the amounts due were not paid. To date, the Company has not received further communication from the holders of the Tegal Notes and the entire amount due remains outstanding.
Notes Payable – Related Parties
On December 31, 2014, the Company borrowed $3.0 million from D&D Funding II, LLC (“D&D”) and issued the D&D Debenture. Christopher Diamantis, a director of the Company, is the manager and 50% owner of D&D. In January 2016, the Company temporarily repaid the $3.0 million due under the D&D Debenture. In addition to the principal amount, the Company paid $0.3 million in cash for interest for 2015. In March 2016, the Company re-borrowed 100% of the principal amount repaid in January 2016, repaid $2.25 million in April 2016 using the proceeds from the accounts receivable pledge agreement described above, and repaid the remaining $750,000 in July 2016. The D&D Debenture was convertible into the Company’s Common Stock at a 25% discount to the trailing ten-day average closing price at any time prior to the repayment. In the event of conversion, the holder of the D&D Debenture was also entitled to receive a number of warrants to purchase the Company’s Common Stock equal to the number of shares issued upon conversion with exercise prices equal to the trailing ten-day average closing price of our Common Stock. These two features are derivative instruments that are re-valued quarterly and are reflected in the table above. As a result of the repayment of the D&D Debenture in 2016, the associated derivative liability has been reclassified into stockholders’ equity.
On February 3, 2015, the Company borrowed $3.0 million from Alcimede LLC (“Alcimede”). Seamus Lagan, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, is the sole manager of Alcimede. The note has an interest rate of 6% and was originally due on February 2, 2016. On June 29, 2015, Alcimede exercised options granted in October 2012 to purchase one million shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $2.50 per share, and the loan outstanding was reduced in satisfaction of the aggregate exercise price of $2.5 million. In February 2016, Alcimede agreed to extend the maturity date of the loan to February 2, 2017. In August of 2016, $0.3 million was repaid by the Company through the issuance of shares of common stock (see note 5), and the remaining balance due on this loan as of September 30, 2016 was $0.2 million.
In the fourth quarter of 2015, the Company borrowed $1.6 million from Mr. Diamantis, which was due January 7, 2016. In January 2016, the Company repaid the $1.6 million due Mr. Diamantis, along with $0.1 million in cash for interest. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company received additional short-term advances from Mr. Diamantis aggregating to $4.2 million, $3.7 million of which was repaid during the period. In connection with these advances, the Company agreed to pay Mr. Diamantis interest in the amount of $0.4 million, which is reflected in accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2016. Also during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company received short-term advances from two principal stockholders aggregating to approximately $1.0 million, of which approximately $0.4 million was repaid during the period. These advances are payable on demand. |
