Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement
On February 18, 2022, Inhibrx, Inc. (the “Company”) and Oxford Finance LLC (“Oxford”) entered into a fourth amendment (the “Fourth Amendment”) to the Loan and Security Agreement between the Company and Oxford, dated as of July 15, 2020, as amended by the First Amendment dated November 12, 2020, the Second Amendment dated December 15, 2020, and the Third Amendment dated June 18, 2021 (collectively, the “Oxford Loan Agreement”).

The Fourth Amendment provides for the funding of an additional $130.0 million in gross proceeds, $40.0 million of which was funded upon execution of the amendment, with the remaining $90.0 million to be funded in three separate tranches upon future milestone events. The outstanding term loans will mature on January 1, 2027 and bear interest at (1) 8.19% plus (2) the greater of (i) the 30-day U.S. Dollar LIBOR rate reported in the Wall Street Journal or (ii) 0.11%. The repayment schedule provides for interest-only payments through February 1, 2025, with principal payments beginning on March 1, 2025. The interest-only payments may be extended by 12 months through February 2026, with principal payments beginning on March 1, 2026, if the Company raises at least $100.0 million in upfront licensing or partnership proceeds by February 2025. The interest-only period is followed by 23 months of equal payments of principal plus interest, or if the interest-only period is extended, by 11 months of equal payments of principal plus interest. In accordance with the Fourth Amendment, the Company paid a one-time amendment fee of $1.1 million, which is equal to the amount accreted for the final payment on the existing tranches at the time of the amendment.

Upon the maturity date of January 1, 2027, a final payment of 9.0% of the total principal amount will be due to Oxford. The Company has the option to prepay the outstanding balance of the term loan in full prior to maturity, subject to a prepayment fee ranging from 1.0% to 3.0%, depending on the timing of the prepayment. The Company granted Oxford a first priority lien against all of its assets with a positive lien on intellectual property. Further, the Company issued to Oxford warrants to purchase 40,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a strike price of $45.00 per share.

Except as noted above, the material terms of the Oxford Loan Agreement remain substantially unchanged.

The foregoing description of the Fourth Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Fourth Amendment attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

Inhibrx Announces Amended Loan Agreement with Oxford

San Diego, CA, February 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Inhibrx, Inc. (Nasdaq: INBX), a biotechnology company with four clinical programs in development and a strong emerging pipeline, today announced that it has amended its loan and security agreement with Oxford Finance LLC (“Oxford”).

“This amendment further strengthens our balance sheet in a volatile equity market and provides us with additional non-dilutive capital and flexibility as we continue to advance our pipeline and prepare for potential commercialization,” said Kelly Deck, Chief Financial Officer of Inhibrx. “Oxford has been a supportive partner throughout our evolution and transformation as a company and we are pleased to expand the relationship.”

The amendment provides for four additional tranches of term loans for up to an additional $130 million as follows:
$40 million principal amount funded upon the closing of the amendment;
$30 million, funded upon initiation of Part 4 of the Phase 1 clinical trial of INBRX-105, our PD-L1x4-1BB tetravalent conditional agonist;
$30 million, funded upon the receipt of positive topline data from the Phase 1 clinical trial of INBRX-101, our AAT-Fc fusion protein for the treatment of Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, or AATD; and
$30 million, funded upon the initiation of a potential registration-enabling clinical trial of INBRX-101.
The terms of the three existing tranches under the loan agreement were modified to align with the four additional tranches. The outstanding term loans will mature in January 2027 and bear interest at 8.19% plus the greater of (i) the 30-day U.S. Dollar LIBOR rate reported in the Wall Street Journal or (ii) 0.11%. The repayment schedule provides for interest-only payments until March 2025 with a potential 12-month extension as defined in the agreement. A final payment of 9.0% of the total principal amount will be due to Oxford.

In accordance with the amendment, Inhibrx paid a one-time amendment fee of $1.1 million, which is equal to the amount accreted for the final payment on the existing tranches at the time of the amendment. Inhibrx also issued to Oxford warrants to purchase 40,000 shares of Inhibrx’s common stock at a strike price of $45.00 per share. All other terms remain outstanding.
