Item 8.01Other Events

On September 23, 2021, BioDelivery Sciences International, Inc., (the “Company”) elected to repay $20 million plus accrued interest, representing a portion of the first tranche of its previously disclosed loan agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with BPCR LIMITED PARTNERSHIP (as successor-in-interest to BioPharma Credit plc), dated May 23, 2019. The loan agreement includes the option for the Company to paydown up to $20M of tranche A without incurring any prepayment penalties after the 24 month anniversary of the loan. As a result, no prepayment penalty was incurred in connection with this prepayment. The loan matures in May 2025, and the Company will save approximately $4.4 million in interest payments over the remaining term of the loan as a result of the prepayment.

The description of the Loan Agreement in Item 1.01 of the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 28, 2019 is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Loan Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Loan Agreement, which is filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2019.
