On July 5, 2023, the Company entered into Amendment No. 13 to the Senior Credit Agreement that provides for, among other things, a new $110 million Tranche D term loan facility, which may be increased up to $140 million upon the consent of the Required Lenders (as defined within Amendment No. 13). Upon the effectiveness of Amendment No. 13, $36 million was committed, including $7 million of new funding and $29 million converted from Tranche C. We have subsequently drawn $12.3million from Tranche D through August 14, 2023. The remaining, uncommitted availability under Tranche D will be made available to the Company at the sole discretion of the Required Lenders. The availability period for which the Tranche D facility can be drawn may be extended from time to time by the Administrative Agent until September 30, 2023.
Amendment No. 13 also amended (i) the Tranche A and Tranche B prepayment schedule to provide for a prepayment premium of 1.4x of the total amount of such loans being prepaid, (ii) the payment schedule for the Tranche A, Tranche B and Tranche C loans such that the applicable prepayment premium would be payable through the maturity date of those loans, and (iii) the Tranche C prepayment schedule to provide for an aggregate prepayment premium (comprised of the Tranche C priority premium and Subordinated Premium) of 2x of the total amount of loans being repaid.   All principal, interest or other amounts paid in cash upon payment of the loans will count towards the prepayment premiums for each of the Tranche A, Tranche B, Tranche C and Tranche D loans.  In addition,
Amendment No. 13 extends the outside date for which the Company is required to complete a $10 million capital raise to July 31, 2023, which was subsequently extended to August 31, 2023, and also provides that the outside date for completing a second $170 million capital raise is July 5, 2024. Amendment No. 13 also extends the deadlines for implementing certain governance and management related matters until August 31, 2023. Pursuant to Waiver No. 8, the lenders agreed to waive certain Defaults and Events of Default (each as defined under the Senior Credit Agreement), if any, arising prior to, or based on events or circumstances existing prior to, the effective date of Amendment No. 13. In connection with Amendment No. 13 and the conversion of Tranche C term loans to Tranche D term loans, certain outstanding warrants that were previously issued to the lenders were canceled and reissued as new warrants to purchase up to 10,875,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, exercisable until December 23, 2028 at an exercise price of $0.075 per share (the “Lender Warrants”). These Lender Warrants also provide for other amendments necessary to reflect a reallocation amongst the lenders of outstanding warrants, as further set forth in that certain amendment agreement, dated as of July 5, 2023, by and among the Company and the lenders party thereto with the terms of the warrants remaining unchanged. The Company has agreed to register the resale of the shares of common stock underlying the Lender Warrants pursuant to an amendment to that certain registration rights agreement, dated July 5, 2023, by and among the Company and the lenders party thereto.

 

On July 13, 2023, the Company entered into a non-exclusive license agreement with a third party to deliver camelina seed over an 18-month period for the resale to authorized growers in exchange for an advance license fee of $2.5 million, plus a fee per pound of seed delivered and royalties based on per pound of grain delivered by an authorized grower to the third party. In the event the Co
mp
any and the third party enter into a definitive agreement to form a strategic alliance relating to the commercial deployment of the camelina seed within six months of the license agreement, the advance license fee shall be credited towards any future amount owed by the third party.
