Titan Medical Announces Development and License Agreements With Medtronic and Senior Secured Loan

TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 4, 2020--Titan Medical Inc. (“Titan” or “Titan Medical”) (TSX: TMD) (Nasdaq: TMDI), a medical device company focused on the design and development of single-port robotic surgical technologies, announces that it has entered into a development and license agreement with Medtronic plc (“Medtronic”) (NYSE: MDT) to further the development of robotic assisted surgical technologies, as well as a separate license agreement with Medtronic in respect of certain intellectual property of Titan.

The development and license agreement provides for the development of robotic assisted surgical technologies for use by both Titan and Medtronic in their respective businesses. Titan will receive a series of payments totaling up to U.S. $31 million for Medtronic’s license to such technologies, as technology milestones are completed and verified. A steering committee comprised of representatives from Titan and Medtronic will be established to provide oversight regarding the work toward achievement of the milestones. One of the milestones of the agreement is for Titan to raise an additional U.S. $18 million of capital within four months of the development start date, which is expected to occur in June 2020.

To support development, Titan has received a senior secured loan of U.S. $1.5 million from Medtronic which was announced on April 29, 2020. The loan, which will be increased by an amount equal to certain legal, transaction and intellectual property related expenses pursuant to the definitive agreements, will be evidenced by an amended and restated promissory note, and will bear interest at the rate of 8% per annum. The loan is repayable on June 4, 2023, or upon the earlier completion of the last milestone under the development and license agreement or a Change of Control of Titan (as defined in the note). Until repayment of the loan, Medtronic may have one non-voting observer attend meetings of Titan’s Board of Directors. The loan will be secured by way of a security agreement entered into by Titan and pursuant to which Titan has granted a security interest in favor of Medtronic in all of Titan’s present and future property including all personal property, inventory, equipment and intellectual property.

Under the terms of the separate license agreement, Medtronic has licensed certain robotic assisted surgical technologies from Titan for an upfront payment of U.S. $10 million. Titan retains the rights to continue to develop and commercialize those technologies for its own business.

“These agreements with Medtronic will allow Titan to continue to develop its single-port robotic surgical technologies while sharing our expertise and technologies with Medtronic,” said David McNally, President and CEO of Titan Medical. “We are very excited about the opportunity to continue Titan’s pioneering work to bring new single-port surgical options to the market.”

Following unanimous approval by Titan’s Board of Directors of the agreements with Medtronic, Charles Federico, who has served as Titan’s Chairman since May 2019, and John Schellhorn, who has served as a Director since June 2017, have decided to retire from Titan’s board in order to dedicate more time for their respective personal and professional endeavors. David McNally, Titan’s President and CEO, has been appointed Chairman of the Board of Directors. Mr. McNally said “I would like to thank Charlie and John for their many contributions to our Board, and for their guidance in securing this important strategic relationship. We wish them continued success.” The Board will consist of three members, including, in addition to David McNally, John Barker, an independent director, and Stephen Randall, Titan’s Chief Financial Officer, while a search for additional independent directors is conducted.


For clarity, these agreements are between Medtronic and Titan Medical Inc. Titan Medical is not affiliated with Titan Spine, which Medtronic acquired in 2019.

THIS NOTE (AS DEFINED BELOW) HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (AS AMENDED) OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE NOR QUALIFIED BY A PROSPECTUS UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT (ONTARIO) (AS AMENDED) OR ANY OTHER APPLICABLE PROVINCIAL SECURITIES LAWS. THIS NOTE MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT OR PROSPECTUS THEREUNDER OR AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM. THE ISSUER OF THIS NOTE MAY REQUIRE AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER THAT SUCH OFFER, SALE, TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR HYPOTHECATION COMPLIES WITH ANY APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS.
AMENDED AND RESTATED PROMISSORY NOTE
In the initial amount of US$1,632,000.00 June 3, 2020
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Titan Medical Inc., a corporation organized under the Laws of Ontario (“Borrower”), promises to pay to the order of Covidien Group S.a.r.l., Neuhausen am Rheinfall Branch (“Lender”), in lawful money of the United States of America, the principal sum equal to the Principal Amount, together with accrued interest thereon, as set forth herein. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Note have the meanings set forth in Annex A attached hereto.

Section 1.   Advances.
(a)  On April 28, 2020 Lender advanced US$1,500,000 to Borrower (the “First Advance”) pursuant to the Original Note, receipt of which on such date is hereby acknowledged.
(b)  Lender promises to pay, on behalf and for the benefit of Borrower, to the applicable payees an aggregate amount equal to US$132,000, for certain transaction expenses (the “Transaction Expenses”) incurred by Lender which Borrower has agreed to bear (the “Second Advance”, such amount being deemed to have been advanced to Borrower by Lender on the date of issuance of this Note). For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything in this Note to the contrary, in no event will the aggregate principal amount advanced under this Note exceed the Principal Amount.
(c)  As a condition to the funding of the Second Advance, the following conditions must be satisfied, as determined by Lender in its reasonable discretion, as of the date of this Note:
(i)  no Event of Default exists, and no event has occurred which, with the giving of notice to Borrower or lapse of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default;
(ii)  the representations and warranties of Borrower in this Note are true and correct; and
(iii)  Borrower has entered into the Definitive Agreements.
The foregoing conditions are referred to collectively herein as the “Advance Conditions.” Upon the issuance of this Note, Borrower shall deliver to Lender a certificate duly executed by the Chief Executive Officer of Borrower certifying that the Advance Conditions have been satisfied.


Section 2.   Payment of Interest and Principal.

(a) Interest shall accrue daily on the unpaid principal balance under this Note at an interest rate of eight percent (8%) per annum (the “Interest Rate”), commencing on the respective dates of the Advances or increases of the Principal Amount contemplated herein, as applicable, and continuing until repaid in full, and shall be compounded annually. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal balance under this Note at an interest rate equal to the Interest Rate plus two percent (2%) per annum. All interest accruing hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a 365-day year for the actual number of days elapsed. For greater certainty, interest on the Specified Expenses shall accrue from the date such Specified Expenses become subject to reimbursement by Borrower in accordance with the Development and License Agreement.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note, if during any period for which interest is computed hereunder, the amount of interest computed on the basis provided for in this Note, together with all fees, charges and other payments which are treated as interest under applicable Law, as provided for herein or in any other document executed in connection herewith, would exceed the amount of such interest computed on the basis of the Highest Lawful Rate, Borrower shall not be obligated to pay, and Lender shall not be entitled to charge, collect, receive, reserve or take interest together with all fees, charges and other payments which are treated as interest under applicable Law in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, and during any such period the interest payable hereunder, together with all fees, charges and other payments which are treated as interest under applicable Law, shall be computed on the basis of the lower of the Interest Rate and the Highest Lawful Rate.
(c) The unpaid principal balance owing hereunder, together with any accrued and unpaid interest and all other unpaid obligations hereunder (the sum of such amounts, at the applicable time, the “Balance”), shall be due and payable in full on the earliest to occur of: (i) the three (3)-year anniversary of the issuance of this Note, (ii) a Change of Control, or (iii) the Licensing Fee becoming due and payable by Lender pursuant to the Development and License Agreement. Borrower may prepay this Note at any time, in whole or in part, without fee or penalty. Borrower may not reborrow previously repaid amounts hereunder.
(d) Any and all payments by Borrower under this Note shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Indemnifiable Taxes except as required by applicable Laws, in which case the sum payable by Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after all such deductions or withholdings for Indemnifiable Taxes have been made Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings had been made.
(e) For purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), (i) whenever any interest is calculated using a rate based on a period that is less than a calendar year, the rate determined pursuant to such calculation, when expressed as an annual rate, is equivalent to (x) the applicable rate based on the period that is less than a calendar year, (y) multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the period for which such interest is payable (or compounded) ends, and (z) divided by the period that is less than a calendar year, (ii) the principle of deemed reinvestment of interest does not apply to any interest calculation under this Agreement, and (iii) the rates of interest stipulated in this Agreement are intended to be nominal rates and not effective rates or yields.
(f) In the event that the Balance becomes due and payable to Lender pursuant to Section 2(c)(iii) above, Lender or its applicable affiliate is hereby irrevocably instructed by Borrower to retain from payment of the Licensing Fee to Borrower an amount equal to the Balance and to apply such amount in satisfaction of all amounts owed to Lender hereunder.

Section 3.   Manner of Payments.

Payments of principal of, and interest on, this Note, and all fees, expenses and other obligations hereunder, shall be made without set-off or counterclaim in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m., Central Standard Time, on the date(s) due, via wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account of Lender in cash in United States Dollars pursuant to instructions to be provided to Borrower prior to the payment date. Funds received on any day after such time shall be deemed to have been received on the next Business Day. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of any interest or fees.
Section 4.   Application of Payments.

Any payment hereunder shall be applied first to any unpaid fees and expenses due hereunder, then to unpaid and accrued interest under this Note and then to the reduction of principal balance of this Note.
Section 5.   Use of Proceeds.

Subject to the other terms, conditions and limitations set forth in this Note, the proceeds of this Note shall be used by Borrower to fund the activities contemplated to be performed by Borrower pursuant to the Definitive Agreements, to fund the continued development of its robotics system, to make payments to suppliers, vendors and consultants in the ordinary course of business (including payments [Redacted] as contemplated by their Creditor Agreements), to pay transaction expenses related to the Definitive Agreements and for the ongoing general corporate and working capital purposes of Borrower.

Section 8.   Covenants of Borrower.

Borrower hereby agrees that, for so long as any Balance remains outstanding, unless Lender shall otherwise expressly consent in writing:
(a) Corporate Existence. Borrower will maintain its existence in good standing under the Laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation and its qualification and authorization to transact business in each jurisdiction in which the character of the properties owned, leased or operated by it, or the business conducted by it, makes such qualification necessary.
(b) Books and Records. Borrower will maintain books and records that are accurate and complete in all material respects. Promptly upon request (but no later than (i) thirty (30) days after the end of a month, or (ii) forty-five (45) days after the end of a financial quarter, in which a request by Lender is made), Borrower shall deliver to Lender unaudited financial information in sufficient detail to determine Borrower’s general financial and cash position in a form of presentation reasonably acceptable to Lender. Lender shall treat any confidential information of Borrower provided pursuant to this Section 8(b) as Confidential Information under Section 11.
(c) Compliance. Borrower will comply in all material respects with the requirements of all applicable Laws, and of all orders, writs, judgments, injunctions, decrees or awards to which it may be subject.
(d) Liens. Borrower will not grant or suffer to exist any Lien on any of its personal property other than Permitted Liens.
5

(e) Notices. Borrower will promptly provide written notice to Lender of (i) any actual or anticipated Event of Default, or any action, event, fact, change occurrence or circumstance that would reasonably be expected to cause an Event of Default, describing the nature thereof and what action Borrower proposes to take with respect thereto and (ii) any threatened or filed claims, lawsuits, actions or other similar proceedings against Borrower or involving its assets before any Governmental Entity or arbitrator that would reasonably be expected to (a) impair Borrower’s ability to perform its obligations under the Note Documents, or (b) result in judgement or award against Borrower in excess of US$100,000, as well as, in each case, notice of any material developments with respect thereto.
(f) Other Agreements. Borrower (i) will comply with all of its liabilities and obligations under the Creditor Agreements in accordance with their respective terms as and when due, and (ii) will not amend, modify or supplement any provisions of the Creditor Agreements in any material respect, agree or consent to any such material amendment, modification or supplement, terminate any of the Creditor Agreements, agree or consent to any such termination, fail to promptly enforce any material right of Borrower under any of the Creditor Agreements or waive any material obligation of any third party under the Creditor Agreements, in each case without the prior written consent of Lender, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. Borrower will not enter into any agreement, bond, note or other instrument with or for the benefit of any Person (other than Lender) which would be violated or breached in any material respect by Borrower’s receipt or use of the proceeds of this Note or by Borrower’s performance of its obligations under the Loan Documents.
(g) Corporate Changes. Borrower shall not make any change in its name, jurisdiction of incorporation, governing corporate statute or principal place of business without providing Lender with prior written notice thereof of not less than ten (10) days.
(h) Board Observer. For so long as any Balance remains outstanding, Borrower shall ensure that the Lender Designee (i) is invited and permitted to attend (for the purpose of observing in a non-voting capacity) all meetings of the board of directors of Borrower and its committees and (ii) receives all notices, information and other materials provided to Borrower’s directors or other committee members in connection with such meetings at the same time and in the same manner as provided to such directors or committee members.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower may, by giving prior or concurrent written notice to Lender, exclude the Lender Designee from attending any meeting of the board of directors and its committees, or relevant portion thereof, and/or from receiving any such notices, information and other materials provided to Borrower’s directors and committee members (as applicable), if and to the extent that, in the reasonable opinion of Borrower and Borrower’s counsel (i) such attendance or receipt of such information or materials would jeopardize or infringe any attorney-client privilege, attorney work product or other similar privilege or protection belonging to Borrower, (ii) the topic of such meeting or content of such information or materials (or, in each case, relevant portion thereof) relates to a matter in which the interests of Lender and Borrower are in conflict with each other (including, without limitation, with respect to any actual, threatened or potential dispute between Lender and Borrower arising under or relating to the Note Documents or the Definitive Agreements); or (iii) permitting such attendance or disclosure of information or materials would breach Borrower’s duty of confidentiality to any other Person, provided that such duty was not undertaken for the purpose of excluding the Lender Designee and that, if requested by Lender in writing for a legitimate business purpose, Borrower takes commercially reasonable efforts to seek a waiver of such duty (such efforts not to require Borrower to pay any amount to the Person(s) to whom such duty is owed).
(i) Government Regulation. Borrower will not (i) be or become subject at any time to any Law or list of any Governmental Entity (including, without limitation, the U.S. Office of Foreign Asset Control list) that prohibits or limits Lender from making any advance or extension of credit to Borrower or from otherwise conducting business with Borrower, or (ii) fail to provide documentary and other evidence of Borrower’s identity as may be reasonably requested by Lender at any time to enable Lender to verify Borrower’s identity or to comply with any applicable Law, including, without limitation, Section 326 of the USA Patriot Act of 2001, 31 U.S.C. Section 5318.
6

(j) Payment of Taxes. Borrower will file all Tax returns which are required by Law to be filed by it and pay before they become delinquent all Taxes shown to be due on such Tax returns and all other Taxes imposed upon it or its property which would reasonably be expected to result in the creation of a Lien for Taxes upon its property, in which case Borrower will or has paid all such Taxes that would reasonably be expected to create a Lien for Taxes; provided that the foregoing items need not be paid if they are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, and as long as its title to its property is not materially adversely affected.
Section 9.   Events of Default.

(h) A Material Adverse Effect shall have occurred.

Section 11.   Confidentiality; Public Announcements.

As the issuance of this Note is considered by Borrower to be a material event, Lender hereby consents to Borrower’s publication of a press release in the form previously approved by Lender. In all other respects, the parties hereto shall, and shall cause their respective affiliates to, hold in confidence and not disclose to any third party any information about this Note, the terms and conditions hereof or the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Confidential Information”). In the event a party is requested or required (by interrogatory, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process) to disclose any Confidential Information, it shall notify the other party promptly of the request or requirement so that such other party may seek an appropriate protective order or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section 11. If such protective order is not obtained, or if and to the extent such other party waives such prohibition, the first party may make such disclosure that, in the reasonable opinion of its counsel, is legally required to be made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) each party may disclose Confidential Information to its employees, agents, representatives and advisors who have a reasonable need to know for legitimate business purposes and who commit to an undertaking of confidentiality consistent with the terms of this Section 11 and (ii) Lender and Borrower may disclose the Confidential Information in court filings in connection with the exercise of its rights under the Note Documents.

No failure on the part of Lender to exercise and no delay in exercising any power or right under this Note shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any power or right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right. The remedies herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by Law. No notice to or demand on Borrower not required under this Note shall entitle Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the right of the holder of this Note to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand. No amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Note or consent to any departure therefrom shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Lender and Borrower, and then such amendment, modifications, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instances for which given.
Section 13.   Fees, Expenses, Costs of Collection.

6.1 Publication Approval. The Steering Committee shall determine the strategy for, and coordinate the publication and presentation of, any results or other data generated by the [Redacted] project pursuant to this Agreement.

7. Mutual Representations and Warranties. Each party represents and warrants to the other party that:
(a) as of the Effective Date, it is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing as a corporation or other entity as represented herein under the Laws and regulations of its jurisdiction of incorporation, organization, or chartering;
Page 18 of 29

(b) as of the Effective Date (i) it has the full right, power, and authority to enter into this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder, and (ii) the execution of this Agreement by a Representative whose signature is set forth at the end hereof has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of the party;
(c) as of the Effective Date, when executed and delivered by the party, this Agreement shall constitute the legal, valid, and binding obligation of that party, enforceable against that party in accordance with its terms; and
(d) as of the Effective Date, it is under no obligation to any third party that would interfere with its representations, warranties, or obligations under this Agreement.
8. Taxes.
8.1 Each party is responsible for its own taxes in connection with this Agreement. The parties shall negotiate in good faith to allocate each payment made under this Agreement to a particular class of income, in the event that any payment to be made under this Agreement is not classified for tax purposes as being a payment for the use of, or the right to use any patent or any information concerning industrial, commercial or scientific experience. If a party is required to withhold or deduct taxes, the party shall remit such taxes in the prescribed manner and within the prescribed due date to the applicable governmental taxing authority, and the party shall provide proof of such tax remittance to the other party. To the extent amounts are so withheld or deducted, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the other party. If a party anticipates that any payment under this Agreement will be subject to any withholding or deduction for taxes, then the party shall: (i) provide the other party with ten (10) Business Days written notice of such withholding taxes prior to such payment, and (ii) both parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts, including the execution and filing of tax information forms, to reduce or eliminate any such withholding tax.
8.2 Medtronic confirms that it is (i) not a resident of Canada as that term is interpreted for purposes of Part IX of the Excise Tax Act (Canada), and (ii) it is not, and at the time of payment of the fee specified under section 3.1 it will not be, registered for purposes of Part IX of the Excise Tax Act (Canada) (the “GST/HST”) and for purposes of the Act Respecting the Quebec Sales Tax. Should Medtronic ever register in the future for the Excise Tax Act (Canada) or Act Respecting Quebec Sales Tax Act, then Medtronic will immediately notify Titan, and Titan shall thereafter charge the appropriate GST/HST or Quebec sales tax which is in addition to any amount that Medtronic is required to provide Titan under this Agreement. If Canadian (including a province of Canada) sales tax legislation changes in the future, with the result that Titan would be required to commence to charge a Canadian (including a province of Canada) sales tax on the payments being earned by Titan under the Agreement, then: A) Titan shall notify Medtronic of such change in Canadian (including a province of Canada) sales tax legislation; B) the parties shall negotiate in good faith and each party shall act reasonably to implement any revisions to the Agreement that would mitigate or eliminate such Canadian (including a province of Canada) sales tax; and C) as necessary, Titan shall charge the Canadian (including a province of Canada) sales tax.

The indemnitee’s failure to perform any obligations under this shall not relieve the indemnitor of its obligation under this 10.2 except to the extent that the indemnitor can demonstrate that it has been materially prejudiced as a result of the failure. The indemnitee may participate in and observe the proceedings at its own cost and expense with counsel of its own choosing.
11. Insurance. During the Term and for a period of three (3) years after the Term, each party shall, at its sole cost and expense, obtain and maintain commercial general liability insurance in commercially reasonable amounts; provided that such amounts shall not be less than three million US Dollars (US$3,000,000), that provide all liability coverage, including, but not limited to, personal injury, physical injury, or property damage arising out of the development, manufacture, use, and sale of the [Redacted] product and contractual liability coverage for its indemnification under this Agreement.

13. Bankruptcy.
13.1 Bankruptcy Code.

13.2 Effect of Bankruptcy. Each party shall have the right to exercise all rights and elections under the Bankruptcy Code with respect to the Developed Intellectual Property.

17.7 [Redacted]

Neither party shall assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights, or delegate or otherwise transfer any of its obligations or performance, under this Agreement, in each case whether voluntarily, involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, without the other party’s prior written consent. For purposes of the preceding sentence, and without limiting its generality, any merger, consolidation, or reorganization involving a party (regardless of whether that party is a surviving or disappearing entity) shall be deemed to be a transfer of rights, obligations, or performance under this Agreement for which the other party’s prior written consent is required.

17.12   Amendment; Modification; Waiver. This Agreement may only be amended, modified, or supplemented by an agreement in writing signed by each party hereto. No waiver by any party of any of the provisions hereof shall be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and signed by the waiving party. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, no failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any rights, remedy, power, or privilege arising from this Agreement shall operate or be construed as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power, or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power, or privilege.
17.13   Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction. Upon a determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to give effect to the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

Page 27 of 29

17.15   Equitable Relief. In any claim for equitable relief, each party acknowledges that a breach by the other party of this Agreement may cause the non-breaching party irreparable harm, for which an award of damages would not be adequate compensation and, in the event of such a breach or threatened breach, the non-breaching party shall be entitled to seek equitable relief, including in the form of a restraining order, orders for preliminary or permanent injunction, specific performance, and any other relief that may be available from any court. These remedies shall not be deemed to be exclusive but shall be in addition to all other remedies available under this Agreement at law or in equity, subject to any express exclusions or limitations in this Agreement to the contrary.
17.16   Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall be deemed to be one and the same agreement. A signed copy of this Agreement delivered by facsimile, e-mail, or other means of electronic transmission (to which a PDF copy is attached) shall be deemed to have the same legal effect as delivery of an original signed copy of this Agreement.
