On August 28, 2023, the Issuer entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain institutional and accredited investors, each as listed as signatories to the Purchase Agreement (the “Purchasers”), including Nant Capital, LLC (“Nant Capital”), an affiliate of Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong, the Chief Executive Officer, a director and a significant stockholder of the Company, to issue and sell up to an aggregate of 24,896,248 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), in a private placement (the “Private Placement”). In the Private Placement, Nant Capital purchased (a) 15,384,616 shares of Common Stock at a price per share


of $0.39, which is equal to the most recent quoted price of the Issuer’s Common Stock on the OTCQB Venture Market (the “OTCQB”) on August 25, 2023, and (b) 537,272 shares of Common Stock in exchange for $10.0 million aggregate principal amount of the demand promissory note, dated January 4, 2016, as amended and restated on May 9, 2016 and April 27, 2021, respectively, by and between the Company and Nant Capital (the “Subordinated Nant Capital Promissory Note”), at an exchange price per share of $18.61255, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Subordinated Nant Capital Promissory Note. The source of funds for the transaction was capital contributions to the Issuer from Nant Capital and other investors.

On March 2, 2023, the Issuer and certain of the Issuer’s subsidiaries as guarantors (the “Subsidiary Guarantors,” and together with the Issuer, the “Obligors”), entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Nant Capital and Highbridge Tactical Credit Master Fund, L.P. and Highbridge Convertible Dislocation Fund, L.P. (collectively, “Highbridge”), as the lenders, GLAS USA, LLC, as administrative agent, and GLAS Americas, LLC, as collateral agent (collectively, “Agent”). The Credit Agreement provides for a senior secured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $22.5 million in a single drawdown made by the Company at closing (the “Term Loan Facility”).

The maturity date of the Term Loan Facility is December 15, 2023 (the “Term Loan Maturity Date”) and accrues interest at an annual rate of 13% per annum with a 1% original issue discount. The Issuer’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Subsidiary Guarantors and are secured by a security interest in, and lien on, substantially all property (subject to certain exceptions) of the Obligors. The Issuer will have the right to prepay the Term Loan Facility at any time or from time to time on or after the Existing Convertible Senior Notes Security Date (as defined in the Credit Agreement), subject to a prepayment premium consisting of (i) the excess (if any) of (A) the present value as of such date of all interest that would have accrued on such amount of the Term Loan Facility being prepaid or repaid from such date through the Term Loan Maturity Date, plus the present value as of such date of the principal amount of such Term Loan Facility being prepaid or repaid, assuming a prepayment or repayment date of the Term Loan Maturity Date, in each case computed using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 50 basis points over (B) the principal amount of such Term Loan Facility being prepaid or repaid and (ii) a prepayment fee in an amount equal to 1.0% of the principal balance of the Term Loan Facility being repaid or prepaid.

The Credit Agreement includes conditions precedent, representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants and post-closing conditions customary for financings of this type and size, such as, among other things, limitations on indebtedness, a minimum liquidity requirement of cash and cash equivalents of not less than $5 million at any time, liens, fundamental changes, asset sales, investments and other matters customarily restricted in such agreements. The Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default, after which the Term Loan Facility may be due and payable immediately, including, without limitation, payment defaults, material inaccuracy of representations and warranties, covenant defaults, bankruptcy and insolvency proceedings, cross-defaults to certain other agreements, judgments against the Issuer and its subsidiaries, change in control and lien priority.

Concurrently with the execution of, and pursuant to, the Credit Agreement, the Company also entered into (1) a subordination agreement (the “Subordination Agreement”) with Nant Capital and Airstrip Technologies, Inc. (collectively, the “Affiliated Lenders”), who are holders of certain affiliated debt of the Company, and (2) a letter agreement (the “Letter Agreement”) with certain entities affiliated with Highbridge and Nant Capital, who are holders of the Company’s 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”) issued pursuant to the Indenture, dated as of April 27, 2021, by and among the Company, NaviNet, Inc. and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association (as successor in interest to U.S. Bank National Association) (the “Indenture”). The Subordination Agreement provides, among other things, that any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on certain subordinated debt held by the Affiliated Lenders shall be subordinated and subject in right of payment to the prior payment of the full Term Loan Facility, whether outstanding as of the date hereof or thereafter incurred. The Letter Agreement provides that, among other things, (1) the holders of the 2026 Notes shall waive compliance with certain provisions of the Indenture, including, but not limited to, restrictions on borrowings from an affiliate lender of the Company and any current or future Default or Event of Default (as each term is defined in the Indenture) pursuant to any breach of Section 4.10 of the Indenture arising from any borrowing made by the affiliated lender to the Company, each such waiver is solely in connection with the Term Loan Facility, (2) prohibit the holders of the 2026 Notes from exercising any right to require the Company to repurchase any or all of the 2026 Notes upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Change (as defined in the Indenture) solely in connection with the Company’s common stock being delisted from the Nasdaq Global Select Market or similar securities exchange for a period beginning on the Closing Date (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and ending on the date that is five (5) months after the Closing Date, and (3) restricting the holders of the 2026 Notes from disposing of or otherwise transferring the 2026 Notes to any person other than an affiliate of such holder, until the approval of the Indenture Consent (as defined in the Letter Agreement).


On April 13, 2021, the Issuer entered into a note purchase agreement (the “Note Purchase Agreement”) with NaviNet, Inc. (the “Guarantor”) and each of the investors listed on the Schedule of Buyers thereto (the “Investors”), including Nant Capital, to issue and sell $137.5 million in aggregate principal amount of its 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”) in a private placement pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) afforded by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The 2026 Notes were issued on April 27, 2021.

The 2026 Notes bear interest at 4.50% per annum, payable semi-annually on April 15 and October 15 of each year beginning on October 15, 2021. The outstanding principal amount and any accrued and unpaid interest are due on April 15, 2026, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted. Holders of the 2026 Notes may convert all or a portion of their 2026 Notes, in multiples of $1,000 principal amount, at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the maturity date. Upon conversion, the 2026 Notes will be settled in cash, shares of the Issuer’s common stock or any combination thereof at the Issuer’s option.

Upon the occurrence of a fundamental change (as defined in that certain Indenture between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee, dated as of April 27, 2021, and amended and restated as of May 17, 2023, and as may be further amended or modified from time to time), holders may require the Company to purchase all or a portion of the 2026 Notes in principal amounts of $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof, for cash at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2026 Notes to be purchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change purchase date.

The Issuer may prepay the outstanding promissory note, at any time, in whole or in part, without penalty. The noteholder may convert the balance of the convertible promissory note and accrued interest in whole at its option following the Conversion Price Date, which is the trading day prior to the opening of the next open trading window, as determined by the company’s board of directors in accordance with the company’s Insider Trading Policy. The conversion price is equal to the greater of (i) the NASDAQ Official Closing Price and (ii) the consolidated closing bid price of the company’s common stock on the Conversion Price Date. There is no floor on the conversion price for this convertible note, therefore, as of March 31, 2023 we cannot determine the total number of shares issuable upon conversion that may occur in the future. On May 12, 2023, the conversion price of the shares subject to the promissory note became fixed at $2.28 per share.

On April 13, 2021, the Issuer entered into a transaction with Cambridge to exchange $5.0 million of its $10.0 million in existing 5.5% convertible senior notes due 2021 for shares of Common Stock, pursuant to the Exchange Agreement.
