Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On September 10, 2019, T2 Biosystems, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into Amendment No. 5 to Term Loan Agreement (the “Fifth Amendment”), with CRG Servicing LLC as administrative agent and collateral agent (in such capacities, “Administrative Agent”) and the lenders listed on the signature pages thereto (the “Lenders”) to modify certain terms of that certain Term Loan Agreement , dated as of December 30, 2016, by and among the Company, the Administrative Agent and the lenders party thereto (such Term Loan Agreement, as amended or modified prior to the Fifth Amendment, the “Loan Agreement”).

The Fifth Amendment extends the interest-only payment period from December 31, 2020 to December 31, 2021 and reduces the annual product revenue target (i) for 2019 from $9,000,000 to $4,000,000, (ii) for the twenty-four month period beginning on January 1, 2019 from $95,000,000 to $15,000,000 and (iii) for the twenty-four month period beginning on January 1, 2020 from $140,000,000 to $43,000,000 (each of the foregoing clauses (i) – (iii), the “Minimum Required Revenue”). In the event that the Company does not meet the Minimum Required Revenue, the Company can satisfy such requirement by paying to the Lenders within ninety days of the end of the respective calendar year an amount equal to (x) two multiplied by the (y) Minimum Required Revenue minus the Company’s actual annual revenue, and such amount shall be used to prepay the outstanding loans. The final payment fee was also increased from 8% to 10% of the principal amount of all loans made by Lenders under the Loan Agreement, including any PIK loans.

In connection with the execution of the Fifth Amendment the Company also issued to the Lenders additional warrants (the “New Warrants”) to purchase a total of 568,291 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $1.55, with typical provisions for termination upon a change of control or a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company. The Company also reduced the exercise price for the four warrants previously issued to the Lenders (the “Existing Warrants” and, together with the New Warrants, the “Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 528,958 shares of the Company’s common stock to $1.55. All of the New Warrants are exercisable any time prior to September 9, 2029, and all of the Existing Warrants are exercisable any time prior to December 30, 2026. The exercise of the Warrants could have a dilutive effect to the Company’s common stock to the extent that the market price per share of the Company’s common stock, as measured under the terms of the Warrants, exceeds the exercise price of the Warrants.

The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Fifth Amendment, a copy of which will be attached as an exhibit to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ending September 30, 2019.
