Item 1.01.  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On February 5, 2021, in connection with Urovant Sciences Ltd.’s (“Company”) previously disclosed debt financing agreement with Sumitomo Dainippon Pharma Co., Ltd. (“Sumitomo”), as lender, dated December 27, 2019 (“Sumitomo Loan Agreement”), Sumitomo agreed to amend the Sumitomo Loan Agreement to increase the maximum principal amount of the unsecured revolving debt financing facility from $300 million to $425 million.  The proceeds of the loan will be used solely for working capital or other general corporate purposes incurred during any calendar quarter in accordance with our annual budget.

As previously disclosed, the Sumitomo Loan Agreement originally provided for a $300 million unsecured revolving debt financing facility, approximately $268 million of which is currently outstanding.  Additional funds may be drawn down by us no more than once any calendar quarter, subject to certain terms and conditions. Interest on the outstanding loans is payable quarterly, and the principal is due and payable in full on the five-year anniversary of the closing date of the Sumitomo Loan Agreement.

AGREEMENT:

In consideration of the foregoing and the mutual agreements contained in this Amendment, the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

The Borrower has requested the Lender provide it with loans in the maximum principal amount not to exceed $425,000,000 (the “Lender Commitment”).  

2.Representations.  The Borrower makes the following representations to the Lender, which representations survive the execution and delivery of this Amendment:

(d)

this Amendment has been duly executed and delivered by the Borrower;

 

(e)

the representations of the Borrower in the Loan Agreement are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date of this Amendment (or, in the case of any such
