Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On February 26, 2018, Invitae Corporation (“Invitae”), together with its subsidiaries PatientCrossroads, Inc., Good Start Genetics, Inc., Ommdom Inc., Combimatrix Corporation and Combimatrix Molecular Diagnostics, Inc., entered into a First Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement (the “2018 Amendment”) with Oxford Finance LLC (the “Lender”) which amended that certain Loan and Security Agreement entered into as of March 15, 2017 between Invitae, PatientCrossroads, Inc. and the Lender (the “2017 Loan Agreement”). Pursuant to the 2017 Loan Agreement, Invitae borrowed an initial term loan of $40 million and, subject to certain conditions, Invitae is eligible to borrow a second term loan of $20 million during the first quarter of 2018. As amended by the 2018 Amendment, Invitae is eligible under the 2017 Loan Agreement to borrow an additional term loan of up to $20 million during the second quarter of 2018, subject to certain conditions, and subsidiaries of Invitae (Good Start Genetics, Inc., Ommdom Inc., Combimatrix Corporation and Combimatrix Molecular Diagnostics, Inc.) are added to the 2017 Loan Agreement as additional borrowers (together with Invitae, the “Borrowers”).

Term loans under the 2017 Loan Agreement as amended by the 2018 Amendment bear interest at a floating rate equal to an index rate plus 7.73%, where the index rate is the greater of 0.77% or the 30-day U.S. Dollar London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) as reported in the Wall Street Journal, with the floating rate resetting monthly subject to a floor of 8.5%. The Borrowers can make monthly interest-only payments until May 1, 2019 (or, subject to certain conditions, May 1, 2020), and thereafter monthly payments of principal and interest are required to fully amortize the borrowed amount by a final maturity date of March 1, 2022. A fee of 5% of each funded draw is due at the earlier of prepayment or loan maturity, a facility fee of 0.5% is due upon funding for each draw, a prepayment fee of between 1% and 3% of the outstanding balance will apply in the event of a prepayment, and a non-utilization fee of 1% is due on June 29, 2018 with respect to any portion of the $20 million in available term loan during the second quarter of 2018 which is not borrowed. Concurrent with each term loan, Invitae will grant to the Lender a warrant to acquire shares of Invitae’s common stock equal to the quotient of 3% of the funded amount divided by a per share exercise price equal to the lower of the average closing price for the previous ten days of trading (calculated on the day prior to funding) or the closing price on the day prior to funding. In connection with the initial term loan, Invitae granted the Lender a warrant to purchase 116,845 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $10.27 per share. The warrants have a term of ten years from the date of issuance and include a cashless exercise provision.

Obligations of the Borrowers under the 2017 Loan Agreement as amended by the 2018 Amendment are subject to quarterly covenants to achieve certain revenue levels and accessioned test volumes as well as additional covenants, including limits on the ability of Borrowers to dispose of assets, undergo a change in control, merge with or acquire other entities, incur debt, incur liens, pay dividends or other distributions to holders of Invitae’s capital stock, repurchase stock and make investments, in each case subject to certain exceptions. Obligations of the Borrowers under the 2017 Loan Agreement as amended by the 2018 Amendment are secured by a security interest on substantially all of the assets of the Borrowers, excluding intellectual property.

The foregoing description of the 2017 Loan Agreement, the 2018 Amendment and the warrants is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the 2017 Loan Agreement, the 2018 Amendment and the Form of Warrant to Purchase Common Stock, copies of which are filed (or incorporated by reference) as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3, respectively, to this report.
