WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution of an asset purchase agreement (the “APA”) between TetraLogic Pharmaceuticals Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), and Medivir AB, a company organized under the laws of Sweden (“Medivir”), for the sale of substantially all of the Issuer’s assets relating to the birinapant and SHP-141 (remetinostat) lead molecules to Medivir (the “Medivir Sale”) and as a condition and inducement to its willingness to enter into the APA, the Company has requested that each Noteholder set forth in Schedule I hereto (each, a “Noteholder”) agree, and each of the Noteholders has agreed, to enter into this Term Sheet;

 

WHEREAS, each Noteholder signatory to this Term Sheet currently owns, beneficially or of record, the aggregate principal amount of 8.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2019 (the “Notes”) of the Issuer set forth on Schedule I hereto next to such Noteholder’s name, and all rights to interest thereon;

 

WHEREAS, the Notes listed on Schedule I hereto collectively represent 100% of all issued and outstanding principal amount of the Notes on the date hereof;

 

WHEREAS, this Term Sheet will become effective only when agreed to, and executed, by holders of 100% in aggregate principal amount of Notes;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and the mutual promises hereinafter set forth, the Company and each Noteholder hereby agree as follows:

 

Note Exchange

 

To the exchange (the “Exchange”) of $2,200,000 in aggregate principal amount of issued and outstanding Notes (the “Aggregate Converted Amount”) for 12,222,222 newly issued shares of convertible participating preferred stock series A of the Issuer (the “Preferred Stock”), having a liquidation preference of $0.18 per share of Preferred Stock (the “Liquidation Preference”).

 

Following the Exchange, there will remain $41,550,000 in aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding (the “Remaining Notes”) plus accrued but unpaid interest thereon. As of October 31, 2016, there is $$1,322,222.49 of accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes.

 

The specific Aggregate Converted Amount and Remaining Notes of each holder Notes will be as set forth in Schedule I hereto.

 

Upon issuance of the Preferred Stock, the Aggregate Converted

 



 

 

 

Amount surrendered for Exchange will be deemed paid in full and canceled.

 

As soon as practicable following the date hereof and no later than November 14, 2016, the Noteholders shall execute and deliver an Exchange and Consent Agreement (the “Exchange and Consent Agreement”) substantially in the form attached as Exhibit A hereto.

 

 

 

Remaining Notes

 

The Remaining Notes will remain issued and outstanding in accordance with their terms and governed by the indenture dated June 23, 2014 (the “Indenture”), subject to such amendments and modifications as may be agreed upon by the Noteholders as set forth in and evidenced by a supplemental indenture to become effective on the date of closing of the Medivir Sale (see “Exchange Timing and Mechanics / Supplemental Indenture” below).

 

Upon the consummation of the Medivir Sale, $12,000,000 (the “Closing Cash Amount”) shall be promptly distributed in cash to the holders of Remaining Notes in partial redemption of $12,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of such Remaining Notes and in priority to any payments to the holders of Preferred Stock or Junior Stock (as defined below).

 

 

 

Restrictions on Transfers of Remaining Notes

 

Until the consummation of the Medivir Sale, holders of Remaining Notes shall not transfer, directly or indirectly, any such Remaining Notes except to other persons who have agreed to be bound by the terms set forth in this Term Sheet and in the Exchange and Consent Agreement.

 

 

 

Preferred Dividends

 

The Preferred Stock will entitle its holders to a preferred dividend when, as and if declared by the board of directors of the Issuer (the “Board”), at a rate of 8%. Dividends shall be cumulative, whether or not declared by the Board and shall accrue semi-annually from the date of issuance of the Preferred Stock or from the most recent date on which dividends were paid or provided for.

 

Dividends on the Preferred Stock shall be payable prior to and in preference to any payment of any dividend or other distribution on stock which ranks junior to the Preferred Stock, including the common stock (collectively, the “Junior Stock”). No dividends or other distributions shall be made on Junior Stock prior to all payments on the Preferred Stock having been made in full.

 

After all accrued but unpaid dividends have been paid on the

Preferred Stock, the holders of Preferred Stock shall also be entitled to any additional dividends or other distributions paid on the common stock by the Issuer in an amount per share of Preferred Stock equal to the amount paid or distributed per share of common stock as if the Preferred Stock had been converted into common stock as provided under “Conversion Rights” below.

Upon (i) a liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Issuer, whether voluntary or involuntary, (ii) a merger or consolidation of the Issuer, (iii) a sale, lease or other transfer or disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Issuer and/or its subsidiaries (including the Medivir Sale) or (iv) a change of control or other direct or indirect transfer of the Issuer’s securities such that after such transfer a person or group of related persons (other than holders of Notes and their affiliates) would own directly or indirectly 50% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the Issuer (each, a “Liquidation Event”), after (i) taking into account other costs of liquidation and after (ii) all payments on the Remaining Notes have been made in full as provided above, but before (iii) any payment or distribution is made to the holders of Junior Stock, the holders of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Issuer legally available for distribution an amount per share of Preferred Stock equal to the sum of the aggregate Liquidation Preference of the Preferred Stock plus any accrued but unpaid dividends per share of Preferred Stock as provided under “Preferred Dividends” above (the “Liquidation Amount”).

 

If, upon consummation of such Liquidation Event, the assets of the Issuer and its subsidiaries are insufficient to make payment in full of the Liquidation Amount to all holders of Preferred Stock, then such assets shall be distributed pro rata among the holders of Preferred Stock based on their respective Liquidation Amount.

 

If, in any Liquidation Event, the amount of consideration received by the Issuer or its subsidiaries in such Liquidation Event is in the form of milestone payments or earn-outs, such amounts (net of costs of liquidation) shall be promptly distributed to the holders of Preferred Stock as and when received by the Issuer or its subsidiaries until the Liquidation Amount owed to such holders is paid in full.

 

After the Liquidation Amount has been paid in full on the

 

3



 

 

 

Preferred Stock, the holders of Preferred Stock shall also be entitled to any additional dividends or other distributions paid on the common stock by the Issuer in an amount per share equal to the amount paid or distributed per share of common stock as if the Preferred Stock had been converted into common stock as provided under “Conversion Rights” below.

 

 

 

Conversion Rights

 

Each outstanding share of Preferred Stock shall be convertible at any time at the option of the holder thereof and without payment of additional consideration into fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock.

Voting Rights

 

The holders of Preferred Stock will vote on all matters submitted to a vote of the holders of stock of the Issuer, including any vote submitted to a vote of the holders of common stock of the Issuer, in which case they will hold the number of votes equal to the number of shares of common stock into which such shares of Preferred Stock would be converted into if converted as provided under “Conversion Rights” above.

 

 

 

Redemption Rights

 

There will be no redemption rights on the Preferred Stock.

 

 

 

Covenants

·                  Incur any indebtedness

·                  Issue any Junior Stock or other equity securities that would be pari passu or senior in right of payment, upon liquidation or otherwise, to the Preferred Stock

·                  Enter into any contract for the consummation of any event above

Exchange Timing and Mechanics / Supplemental Indenture

 

Each Noteholder hereby agrees to: (i) the Exchange upon the individual terms set forth for each such holder on Schedule I, (ii) the consummation of the Medivir Sale (including voting their shares of Preferred Stock in favor of such Medivir Sale), and (iii) the Company’s use of all the Closing Cash Amount received from the Medivir Sale, to pay the outstanding amounts due under the Remaining Notes in the first instance.

 

Each Noteholder further conditionally agrees to (a) waive any put right for their Notes related to the Medivir Sale or a delisting or suspension of trading of the Issuer’s common stock, (b) waive any right to receive current cash payment of interest on the Remaining Notes on the interest payment date under the Indenture and agree that any interest will continue to accrue until paid, (c) waive any public reporting and other rights under the Indenture, in each case as may be necessary or advisable to give effect to the terms set forth in this Term Sheet and in the Exchange and Consent Agreement, (d) extend the maturity of the Remaining Notes until June 15, 2024, and (e) to execute and/or deliver such other documents and agreements and take such other actions as are customary and reasonably necessary to effectuate the partial redemption of the Remaining Notes contemplated by this Term Sheet, including consenting to any amendment or supplement to the Indenture to permit such partial redemption. The waivers and extensions set forth in clauses (a) through (e) above shall automatically terminate and be of no further force and effect as if they had never been provided if the APA is terminated or the Medivir Sale is not consummated for any reason. Upon the closing of the Medivir Sale, the Noteholders and the Company will enter into a supplement to the Indenture to permanently waive or otherwise amend the Indenture to reflect the matters identified in clauses (a) through (e) above.

 

Holders of Notes will agree to withdraw the Aggregate Converted Amount of Notes from the facilities of The Depository Trust Company and perform all acts requested by the Issuer or its counsel in connection with the Exchange and other transactions contemplated in this Term Sheet.

In no event shall the Closing Cash Amount be used by the Issuer to pay such unsecured liabilities. In no event shall the holders of Notes take any action to restrict the payment by the Issuer of such unsecured liabilities with the Issuer’s current available cash on hand.
