Item 1.01.                                         Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On December 23, 2015 (the “Effective Date”), Trevena, Inc. (the “Company”) amended (the “Second Amendment”) its existing loan and security agreement dated September 19, 2014 (the “Original Agreement”) with Oxford Finance LLC, as collateral agent and lender (“Oxford”) and Pacific Western Bank (as the successor to Square 1 Bank), as lender (and together with Oxford, the “Lenders”). The Original Agreement was previously amended on April 13, 2015 (the “First Amendment” and the Original Agreement, as amended by the First Amendment and the Second Amendment, the “Loan Agreement”).

 

Under Second Amendment, the Lenders and the Company:

 

·                   Modified the time period applicable to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent to permit the Company to exercise its option to draw on the final $16.5 million tranche (“Term Loan C”) from no later than March 31, 2016 to no later than December 31, 2016.  In addition, the parties added a requirement that, to draw down on Term Loan C, the 30-day U.S. LIBOR rate must be equal to or less than 0.50% on the proposed Term Loan C funding date.

·                   Modified the period during which the Company is permitted to make payments to the Lenders of interest only from April 1, 2016 to January 1, 2017.  In addition, the parties agreed that if the Company meets the conditions to draw Term Loan C under the Agreement on or before December 31, 2016, then the date until which the Company is permitted to make payments of interest only will be further modified to January 1, 2018.

·                   Modified the maturity date of the Loan Agreement from December 1, 2018 to March 1, 2020.  In addition, if the Company (i) meets the condition to draw Term Loan C on or before December 31, 2016 and (ii) has received net cash proceeds of at least $50.0 million from its existing strategic partnership and collaborative license option agreement with Allergan or another strategic partnership in form and substance satisfactory to the Lenders, the maturity date will be further extended to December 1, 2020.

·                   Issued an aggregate of 34,961 warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock to the Lenders and the placement agent in the transaction, Three Point Capital, LLC, at a per share exercise price of $10.6190 (the “Warrants”) in connection with the Company’s draw down of the second, $16.5 million tranche (“Term Loan B”) on the Effective Date.  The exercise price of the Warrants was determined based on the closing price per share of the Company’s common stock for the period December 8, 2015 through December 21, 2015. Prior to the Second Amendment, the Company had been obligated to issue to the Lenders and placement agent 63,342 warrants at an exercise price of $5.8610 per share upon the drawdown of Term Loan B.

·                   Modified the prepayment fee calculation.  As amended, if the Company repays the $2.0 million tranche drawn in September 2014 (“Term Loan A”) and Term Loan B prior to the applicable maturity date, it will pay the Lenders a prepayment fee of 3.00% of the total amount prepaid if the prepayment occurs prior to the first anniversary of the Effective Date, 2.00% percent of the total amount prepaid if the prepayment occurs between the first and second anniversary of the Effective Date, and 1.00% percent of the total amount prepaid if the prepayment occurs on or after the second anniversary of the Effective Date.

 

The descriptions contained herein of the Second Amendment, the Warrants, and the Loan Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Second Amendment and form of Warrant, attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1 and 4.1, respectively, and the First Amendment and the Original Agreement, which were previously filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 13, 2015 and September 19, 2014.

This Warrant to Purchase Stock (“ Warrant ”) is issued in connection with that certain Loan and Security Agreement of even date herewith among Oxford Finance LLC, as Lender and Collateral Agent, the Lenders from time to time party thereto, including Pacific Western Bank (as successor in interest by merger with Square 1 Bank) and the Company (as modified, amended and/or restated from time to time, the “ Loan Agreement ”).

 

THIS WARRANT CERTIFIES THAT, for good and valuable consideration, [PACIFIC WESTERN BANK] [OXFORD FINANCE LLC] [THREE POINT CAPITAL, LLC] ([“ Pacific ”][“ Bank ”] [“ Three Point ”]and, together with any successor or permitted assignee or transferee of this Warrant or of any shares issued upon exercise hereof, “ Holder ”) is entitled to purchase the number of fully paid and non-assessable shares (the “ Shares ”) of the above-stated Type/Series of Stock (the “ Class ”) of the above-named company (the “ Company ”) at the above-stated Warrant Price, all as set forth above and as adjusted pursuant to Section 2 of this Warrant, subject to the provisions and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Warrant.

 

SECTION 1.         EXERCISE.

 

1.1          Method of Exercise .  Holder may at any time and from time to time prior to the Expiration Date exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, by delivering to the Company the original of this Warrant together with a duly executed Notice of Exercise in substantially the form attached hereto as Appendix 1 and, unless Holder is exercising this Warrant pursuant to a cashless exercise set forth in Section 1.2, a check, wire transfer of same-day funds (to an account designated by the Company), or other form of payment acceptable to the Company for the aggregate Warrant Price for the Shares being purchased.

 

1.2          Cashless Exercise .  On any exercise of this Warrant, in lieu of payment of the aggregate Warrant Price in the manner as specified in Section 1.1 above, but otherwise in accordance with the requirements of Section 1.1, Holder may elect to receive Shares equal to the value of this Warrant, or portion hereof as to which this Warrant is being exercised.  Thereupon, the Company shall issue to the Holder such number of fully paid and non-assessable Shares as are computed using the following formula:

 

X = Y(A-B)/A

 

where:

 

X =                              the number of Shares to be issued to the Holder;

 

Y =                              the number of Shares with respect to which this Warrant is being exercised (inclusive of the Shares surrendered to the Company in payment of the aggregate Warrant Price);

 



 

A =                              the Fair Market Value (as determined pursuant to Section 1.3 below) of one Share; and

 

B =                              the Warrant Price.

 

1.3          Fair Market Value .  If the Company’s common stock is then traded or quoted on a nationally recognized securities exchange, inter-dealer quotation system or over-the-counter market (a “ Trading Market ”), the fair market value of a Share shall be the closing price or last sale price of a share of common stock reported for the Business Day immediately before the date on which Holder delivers this Warrant together with its Notice of Exercise to the Company.  If the Company’s common stock is not traded in a Trading Market, the Board of Directors of the Company shall determine the fair market value of a Share in its reasonable good faith judgment.

 

1.4          Delivery of Certificate and New Warrant .  Within a reasonable time after Holder exercises this Warrant in the manner set forth in Section 1.1 or 1.2 above, the Company or its agent shall deliver to Holder a certificate representing (or reflect in book entry form with the Company’s transfer agent and registrar) the Shares issued to Holder upon such exercise and, if this Warrant has not been fully exercised and has not expired, a new warrant of like tenor representing the Shares not so acquired.

 

1.5          Replacement of Warrant .  On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, on delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form, substance and amount to the Company or, in the case of mutilation, on surrender of this Warrant to the Company for cancellation, the Company shall, within a reasonable time, execute and deliver to Holder, in lieu of this Warrant, a new warrant of like tenor and amount.

 

1.6          Treatment of Warrant Upon Acquisition of Company .

 

(a)           Acquisition .  For the purpose of this Warrant, “ Acquisition ” means any transaction or series of related transactions involving: (i) the sale, lease, exclusive license, or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (ii) any merger or consolidation of the Company into or with another person or entity (other than a merger or consolidation effected exclusively to change the Company’s domicile), or any other corporate reorganization, in which the stockholders of the Company in their capacity as such immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or reorganization, own shares representing less than a majority of the Company’s (or the surviving or successor entity’s) outstanding voting power immediately after such merger, consolidation or reorganization (or, if such Company stockholders beneficially own a majority of the outstanding voting power of the surviving or successor entity as of immediately after such merger, consolidation or reorganization, such surviving or successor entity is not the Company); or (iii) any sale or other transfer by the stockholders of the Company of shares representing at least a majority of the Company’s then-total outstanding combined voting power.

 

(b)           Treatment of Warrant at Acquisition .  In the event of an Acquisition in which the consideration to be received by the Company’s stockholders consists solely of cash, solely of Marketable Securities (as defined below) or a combination of cash and Marketable Securities (a “ Cash/Public Acquisition ”), either (i) Holder shall exercise this Warrant pursuant to Section 1.1 and/or 1.2 and such exercise will be deemed effective immediately prior to and contingent upon the consummation of such Acquisition or (ii) if Holder elects not to exercise the Warrant, this Warrant will expire immediately prior to the consummation of such Acquisition.

 

(c)           The Company shall provide Holder with written notice of its request relating to the Cash/Public Acquisition (together with such reasonable information as Holder may reasonably require regarding the treatment of this Warrant in connection with such contemplated Cash/Public Acquisition giving rise to such notice), which is to be delivered to Holder not less than seven (7) Business Days prior to the closing of the proposed Cash/Public Acquisition.  In the event the Company does not provide such notice, then if, immediately prior to the Cash/Public Acquisition, the fair market value of one Share (or other security issuable upon the exercise hereof) as determined in accordance with Section 1.3 above would be greater than the Warrant Price in effect on such date, then this Warrant shall automatically be deemed on and as of such date to be exercised pursuant to Section 1.2 above as to all Shares (or such other securities) for which it shall not previously have been exercised, and the Company shall promptly notify the Holder of the number of Shares (or such other securities) issued upon such exercise to the

 



 

Holder and Holder shall be deemed to have restated each of the representations and warranties in Section 4 of the Warrant as the date thereof.

 

(d)           Upon the closing of any Acquisition other than a Cash/Public Acquisition defined above, the acquiring, surviving or successor entity shall assume the obligations of this Warrant, and this Warrant shall thereafter be exercisable for the same securities and/or other property as would have been paid for the Shares issuable upon exercise of the unexercised portion of this Warrant as if such Shares were outstanding on and as of the closing of such Acquisition, subject to further adjustment from time to time in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant.

 

(e)           As used in this Warrant, “ Marketable Securities ” means securities meeting all of the following requirements: (i) the issuer thereof is then subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “ Exchange Act ”), and is then current in its filing of all required reports and other information under the Act and the Exchange Act; (ii) the class and series of shares or other security of the issuer that would be received by Holder in connection with the Acquisition were Holder to exercise this Warrant on or prior to the closing thereof is then traded in a Trading Market, and (iii) following the closing of such Acquisition, Holder would not be restricted from publicly re-selling all of the issuer’s shares and/or other securities that would be received by Holder in such Acquisition were Holder to exercise or convert this Warrant in full on or prior to the closing of such Acquisition, except to the extent that any such restriction (x) arises solely under federal or state securities laws, rules or regulations, and (y) does not extend beyond six (6) months from the closing of such Acquisition.

 

SECTION 2.         ADJUSTMENTS TO THE SHARES AND WARRANT PRICE.

 

2.1          Stock Dividends, Splits, Etc .  If the Company declares or pays a dividend or distribution on the outstanding shares of the Class payable in common stock or other securities or property (other than cash), then upon exercise of this Warrant, for each Share acquired, Holder shall receive, without additional cost to Holder, the total number and kind of securities and property which Holder would have received had Holder owned the Shares of record as of the date the dividend or distribution occurred.  If the Company subdivides the outstanding shares of the Class by reclassification or otherwise into a greater number of shares, the number of Shares purchasable hereunder shall be proportionately increased and the Warrant Price shall be proportionately decreased.  If the outstanding shares of the Class are combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares, the Warrant Price shall be proportionately increased and the number of Shares shall be proportionately decreased.

 

2.2          Reclassification, Exchange, Combinations or Substitution .  Upon any event whereby all of the outstanding shares of the Class are reclassified, exchanged, combined, substituted, or replaced for, into, with or by Company securities of a different class and/or series, then from and after the consummation of such event, this Warrant will be exercisable for the number, class and series of Company securities that Holder would have received had the Shares been outstanding on and as of the consummation of such event, and subject to further adjustment thereafter from time to time in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant.  The provisions of this Section 2.2 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, exchanges, combinations substitutions, replacements or other similar events.

 

2.3          No Fractional Share .  No fractional Share shall be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant and the number of Shares to be issued shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Share.  If a fractional Share interest arises upon any exercise of the Warrant, the Company shall eliminate such fractional Share interest by paying Holder in cash the amount computed by multiplying the fractional interest by (i) the fair market value (as determined in accordance with Section 1.3 above) of a full Share, less (ii) the then-effective Warrant Price.

 

2.4          Notice/Certificate as to Adjustments .  Upon each adjustment of the Warrant Price and/or number of Shares, the Company or its agent, at the Company’s expense, shall notify Holder in writing within a reasonable time setting forth the adjustments to the Warrant Price and/or number of Shares and facts upon which such adjustment is based.  The Company or its agent shall, upon written request from Holder, furnish Holder with a certificate of an officer of the Company, including computations of such adjustment and the Warrant Price and number of Shares in effect upon the date of such adjustment.

 



 

SECTION 3.         REPRESENTATIONS AND COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY.

 

3.1          Representations and Warranties .  The Company represents and warrants to, and agrees with, the Holder as follows:

 

(a)           All Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant shall, upon issuance, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and free of any liens and encumbrances except for restrictions on transfer provided for herein or under applicable federal and state securities laws.  The Company covenants that it shall at all times cause to be reserved and kept available out of its authorized and unissued capital stock such number of shares of the Class and other securities as will be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of this Warrant.

 

3.2          Notice of Certain Events .  If the Company proposes at any time to:

 

(a)           declare any dividend or distribution upon the outstanding shares of the Class or common stock, whether in cash, property, stock, or other securities and whether or not a regular cash dividend;

 

(b)           offer for subscription or sale pro rata to the holders of the outstanding shares of the Class any additional shares of any class or series of the Company’s stock (other than pursuant to contractual pre-emptive rights);

 

(c)           effect any reclassification, exchange, combination, substitution, reorganization or recapitalization of the outstanding shares of the Class; or

 

(d)           effect an Acquisition or to liquidate, dissolve or wind up;

 

then, in connection with each such event, the Company shall give Holder:

 

(1)           at least seven (7) Business Days prior written notice of the date on which a record will be taken for such dividend, distribution, or subscription rights (and specifying the date on which the holders of outstanding shares of the Class will be entitled thereto) or for determining rights to vote, if any, in respect of the matters referred to in (a) and (b) above; and

 

(2)           in the case of the matters referred to in (c) and (d) above at least seven (7) Business Days prior written notice of the date when the same will take place (and specifying the date on which the holders of outstanding shares of the Class will be entitled to exchange their shares for the securities or other property deliverable upon the occurrence of such event).

 

Reference is made to Section 1.6(c) whereby this Warrant will be deemed to be exercised pursuant to Section 1.2 hereof if the Company does not give written notice to Holder of a Cash/Public Acquisition as required by the terms hereof.  Company will also provide information requested by Holder that is reasonably necessary to enable Holder to comply with Holder’s accounting or reporting requirements.

4.3          Investment Experience .  Holder understands that the purchase of this Warrant and its underlying securities involves substantial risk.  Holder has experience as an investor in securities of companies in the development stage and acknowledges that Holder can bear the economic risk of such Holder’s investment in this Warrant and its underlying securities and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that Holder is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in this Warrant and its underlying securities and/or has a preexisting personal or business relationship with the Company and certain of its officers, directors or controlling persons of a nature and duration that enables Holder to be aware of the character, business acumen and financial circumstances of such persons.

4.5          The Act .  Holder understands that this Warrant and the Shares issuable upon exercise hereof have not been registered under the Act in reliance upon a specific exemption therefrom, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the Holder’s investment intent as expressed herein.  Holder understands that this Warrant and the Shares issued upon any exercise hereof must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Act and qualified under applicable state securities laws, or unless exemption from such registration and qualification are otherwise available.  Holder is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Act.
