Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On October 4, 2016, Oxford Immunotec Global PLC (the “Company”) entered into a Credit, Security and Guaranty Agreement (Term Loan) (the “Term Loan Agreement”) and a Credit, Security and Guaranty Agreement (Revolving Loan) (the “Revolving Loan Agreement” and, together with the Term Loan Agreement, the “Credit Agreements”), in each case, among the Company, Oxford Immunotec, Inc., a Delaware corporation and indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Oxford Inc.”), Oxford Immunotec Limited, a company formed under the laws of England and Wales and direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Oxford Ltd”), the lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”) and MidCap Financial Trust, individually as a Lender and as administrative agent (“Agent”).

 

The Term Loan Agreement provides for a borrowing by Oxford Inc. of a senior secured term loan of $30.0 million available on October 4, 2016 (the “Closing Date”), with a second tranche of $10.0 million available to Oxford Inc. at the Lenders’ discretion (the “Term Loans”). The Term Loans mature five years from the Closing Date and accrue interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 7.60%, with interest-only payments for the first 24 months and the ability to extend the interest-only period to 48 months subject to certain conditions.

 

The Revolving Loan Agreement provides for senior secured revolving loans in the maximum amount of $10.0 million, which may increase to up to $20.0 million upon request of Oxford Inc. and at the Lenders’ discretion (the “Revolving Loans”). Availability under the Revolving Loans is subject to a borrowing base, which is based on certain eligible accounts receivable, inventory and equipment of Oxford Inc., and Oxford Inc. is required to maintain a minimum drawn balance of no less than 30% of the available amount under the Revolving Loans (or pay fees to the Lenders to make up any foregone interest payments if such minimum is not met). The Revolving Loans mature five years from the Closing Date and accrue interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 4.45%.

 

The Company and Oxford Ltd have agreed to guarantee the obligations of Oxford Inc. under the Credit Agreements, and their collective obligations thereunder are secured by first priority security interests in substantially all assets of Oxford Inc., the Company and Oxford Ltd, subject to certain exceptions. The Credit Agreements contain customary representations and warranties, covenants (including minimum net revenue covenants), mandatory prepayments, and events of default under which the Company’s payment obligations may be accelerated.

 

The foregoing description of the Credit Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereby is only a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Credit Agreements, which are filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 hereto and are incorporated herein by reference.
