Debt Facility

On October 27, 2022 (the “Closing Date”), the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) for fundings of up to $950.0 million consisting of a committed loan facility of $450.0 million and further contemplating the potential for up to $500.0 million of additional financing, to the extent that the Company requests such additional financing and subject to the Lenders’ agreement to provide such additional financing and to mutual agreement on terms, among the Company, certain subsidiaries of the Company (together with the Company, the “Loan Parties”) and funds and other affiliated entities advised or managed by Blackstone Life Sciences Advisors L.L.C. and Blackstone Alternative Credit Advisors LP (collectively, “Blackstone”, and such lenders, together with their permitted assignees, the “Lenders” and each a “Lender”) and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as the administrative agent for the Lenders.  

The Credit Agreement provides for a senior secured term loan facility funded on the Closing Date in the aggregate principal amount of $300.0 million (the “Initial Loans”) and a committed delayed draw term loan facility of up to $150.0 million (the “Delayed Draw Loans” and, together with the Initial Loans, the “Loans”) to be funded at the Company’s request within 18 months of the Closing Date subject to specified conditions.  In addition, the Credit Agreement contemplates the potential for further financings by Blackstone, by providing for incremental discretionary uncommitted further financings of up to $500.0 million.

The Loans mature on the date that is seven years from the Closing Date. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a variable rate equal to, at the Company’s option, either an adjusted Term SOFR rate plus seven and a quarter percent (7.25%) or the Base Rate plus six and a quarter percent (6.25%), subject to a floor of one percent (1%) and two percent (2%) with respect to Term SOFR rate and Base Rate (each as defined in the Credit Agreement), respectively.

Prepayments of the Loans will be subject to the following premiums, in each case, from the date the applicable Loan is funded (such date, the “Funding Date”).

In addition, the Company will be required under conditions specified in the Credit Agreement to fund a reserve account up to certain amounts specified therein. The funds in the reserve account are available to prepay the Loans at any time at the Company’s option, and are, if funded, subject to release upon certain further conditions. Upon any such release, such funds are freely available for use by the Company subject to the generally applicable terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement contains certain customary representations and warranties, affirmative covenants and provisions relating to events of default.
