2.25% CONVERTIBLE SENIOR NOTES 2021 CREDIT FACILITY
In connection with the acquisition of Novitium on November 19, 2021, the Company, as borrower, entered into a credit agreement (the “2021 Credit Agreement”) with Truist Bank and other lenders, which provided for credit facilities consisting of (i) a senior secured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $300.0 million (the “2021 Term Facility”) and (ii) a senior secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate commitment amount of $40.0 million, which provided for revolving credit loans, swingline loans and letters of credit (the “2021 Revolving Facility,” and together with the 2021 Term Facility, the “2021 Credit Facility”).
The Company incurred $14.0 million in deferred debt issuance costs associated with the 2021 Credit Facility. Costs allocated to the 2021 Term Facility were classified as a direct reduction to the current and non-current portion of the borrowings, depending on their nature. Costs allocated to the 2021 Revolving Facility were classified as other current and other non-current assets, depending on their nature. A commitment fee of 0.5% per annum is assessed on any unused portion of the 2021 Revolving Facility.
Extinguishment of the 2021 Credit Facility
On August 13, 2024, the Company entered into an indenture with U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee, for the issuance of the 2.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2029 (as described in Note 7 “2.25% Convertible Senior Notes” to the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited)). The proceeds of the Convertible Senior Notes and cash on-hand were used to repay the 2021 Credit Facility in its entirety, approximately $294.0 million, comprised of $292.5 million of unpaid principal, $1.2 million in accrued and unpaid interest, and $0.3 million of legal fees. In connection with the issuance of the Convertible Senior Notes, the Company recorded a loss on debt extinguishment in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024, amounting to approximately $7.5 million, comprised of the write-off of unamortized deferred financing fees related to the 2021 Credit Facility as of August 13, 2024.
2024 CREDIT AGREEMENT
On August 13, 2024, the Company, as lead borrower, and ANIP Acquisition Company, as initial subsidiary borrower (“ANIP”) entered into a credit agreement (the “2024 Credit Agreement”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and the financial institutions party thereto as lenders (collectively, the “Lenders”), which provides for aggregate principal commitments consisting of (i) a senior secured delayed-draw term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $325.0 million (the “Term Loan A” or “TLA”), and (ii) a senior secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate commitment amount of $75.0 million, which may be used for revolving credit loans, swingline loans and letters of credit (the “TLA Revolver” and together with the TLA, the “2024 Credit Facility”).

On September 16, 2024 (the “2024 Credit Agreement Closing Date”), ANIP drew the full $325.0 million of Term Loan A principal, with proceeds used to finance the acquisition of Alimera, including fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with the acquisition. As of March 31, 2026, $74.9 million is available for borrowing under the TLA Revolver. The TLA and the TLA Revolver mature on September 16, 2029. The 2024 Credit Facility contains certain contingent acceleration clauses that could result in an earlier maturity date, none of which have been triggered as of March 31, 2026.

The cash interest rate and effective rate under the Term Loan A was approximately 6.28% and 6.65% per annum at March 31, 2026, respectively.

The 2024 Credit Facility is secured by a lien on substantially all of the Company’s and its principal domestic subsidiary’s assets and any future domestic subsidiary guarantors’ assets. The 2024 Credit Facility is subject to customary financial and nonfinancial covenants. As of March 31, 2026, the Company was in compliance with all covenants associated with the 2024 Credit Facility.

The Company is required to make quarterly principal payments, beginning on December 31, 2024, in the amount of (i) 0.625% of the original principal amount of the Term Loan A on each quarterly payment date on or prior to the one year anniversary of the 2024 Credit Agreement Closing Date, (ii) 1.25% of the original principal amount of the Term Loan A on each quarterly payment date following the one year anniversary of the 2024 Credit Agreement Closing Date and 1.875% of the original principal amount of the Term Loan A on each quarterly payment date following the three year anniversary of the 2024 Credit Agreement Closing Date and with the remaining unpaid principal amount due on the maturity date of the Term Loan A. A commitment fee accrues on the unutilized commitments under the TLA Revolver and, from and after the date that is two months after the closing date of the 2024 Credit Agreement, the TLA at a per annum rate equal between 0.25% and 0.40% depending on the Company’s first lien net leverage ratio.

The Company incurred $5.0 million in deferred debt issuance costs associated with the TLA, which costs are classified as a direct reduction to the current and non-current portion of debt. The Company incurred $1.1 million in deferred debt issuance costs associated with the TLA Revolver. Of the $0.8 million of unamortized deferred debt issuance costs allocated to the TLA Revolver, $0.6 million is included in other non-current assets in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, and $0.2 million is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

2.25% CONVERTIBLE SENIOR NOTES
Offering of Convertible Senior Notes
On August 7, 2024, the Company entered into a purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with the initial purchasers party thereto (the “Initial Purchasers”) relating to the issuance of the $275.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s Convertible Senior Notes due 2029 (the “Notes”). Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company granted the Initial Purchasers an option to purchase up to an additional $41.3 million aggregate principal amount of Notes (the “Option”) for settlement at any time during the 13 day period beginning on, and including, August 7, 2024, which Option was exercised in full on August 8, 2024.
On August 13, 2024 (the “Closing Date” or “Issue Date”), the Company completed an offering of $316.3 million aggregate principal amount of Notes. The Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture (the “Indenture”) dated as of August 13, 2024 between the Company and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association (the “Trustee”). The Notes are due September 1, 2029, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed, or converted. The Notes will accrue interest at a rate of 2.25% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on March 1 and September 1 of each year, beginning on March 1, 2025. After deducting the Initial Purchasers’ discounts and commissions of approximately $9.5 million, but before deducting the Company’s offering expenses, the net proceeds to the Company from the offering of the Notes were approximately $306.8 million. After payment of the cost of entering into the Capped Calls (as defined below), the Company used the remainder of the net proceeds from the Notes offering, together with cash on hand, to repay the 2021 Credit Facility in its entirety. Refer to Note 3 “2021 Credit Facility” for the details of the extinguishment of the 2021 Credit Agreement.

The Notes are the Company’s senior, unsecured obligations and are (i) equal in right of payment with the Company’s existing and future senior, unsecured indebtedness; (ii) senior in right of payment to the Company’s existing and future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated to the Notes; (iii) effectively subordinated to the Company’s existing and future secured indebtedness, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing that indebtedness; and (iv) structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities, including trade payables, and (to the extent the Company is not a holder thereof) preferred equity, if any, of the Company’s subsidiaries.

Conversion Options

Prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding June 1, 2029, holders of the Notes will have the right to convert their Notes only upon the occurrence of certain events as set forth in the Indenture. All or any portion of the Notes may be converted prior to June 1, 2029 at the holders’ option upon the occurrence of any of the following: (i) during any calendar quarter (and only during such calendar quarter) commencing after the calendar quarter ending on September 30, 2024, if the last reported sale price per share of the Company’s common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price of the Notes for each of at least 20 trading days, whether or not consecutive, during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter; (ii) during the five consecutive business days immediately after any ten consecutive trading day period (such ten consecutive trading day period, the “measurement period”) in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price per share of the Company’s common stock on such trading day and the conversion rate of the Notes on such trading day; (iii) upon the occurrence of certain corporate events or distributions on the Company’s common stock, as described in the Indenture; or (iv) if the Company calls such Notes for redemption.

On or after June 1, 2029 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date of the Notes, holders may convert all or any portion of their Notes at any time at their election. The initial conversion rate for the Notes is 13.4929 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $74.11 per share of the Company’s common stock. The conversion rate and conversion price will be subject to customary adjustments upon the occurrence of certain events. In addition, if certain corporate events that constitute a “Make-Whole Fundamental Change” (as defined in the Indenture) occur, then the conversion rate will, in certain circumstances, be increased for holders that convert their Notes in connection with such Make-Whole Fundamental Change, as described in the Indenture.

Upon conversion of the Notes, the Company will pay cash up to the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be converted and pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of the Company’s common stock or a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s common stock, at the Company’s election, in respect of the remainder, if any, of the Company’s conversion obligation.

The Notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part (subject to certain limitations described below), at the Company’s option at any time, and from time to time, on or after September 1, 2027 and on or before the 61st scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, but only if (i) the notes are “Freely Tradable” (as defined in the Indenture) as of the date the Company sends the related redemption notice and all accrued and unpaid additional interest, if any, has been paid in full as of the first interest payment date occurring on or before the date the Company sends the related redemption notice; and (ii) the last reported sale price per share of the Company’s common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price on (1) each of at least 20 trading days, whether or not consecutive, during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the trading day immediately before the date the Company sends such redemption notice; and (2) the trading day immediately before the date the Company sends such redemption notice. However, the Company may not redeem less than all of the outstanding Notes unless at least $75.0 million aggregate principal amount of Notes are outstanding and not called for redemption as of the time the Company sends the related redemption notice. The redemption price will be a cash amount equal to the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. In addition, calling any Note for redemption will constitute a Make-Whole Fundamental Change with respect to that Note, in which case the conversion rate applicable to the conversion of that Note will be increased in certain circumstances if it is converted with a conversion date that is on or after the date the Company sends the related redemption notice and on or before the second business day immediately before the related redemption date.
If certain corporate events that constitute a “Fundamental Change” (as defined in the Indenture) occur, then, subject to a limited exception for certain cash mergers, holders of the Notes may require the Company to repurchase their Notes at a cash repurchase price equal to the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date. The definition of Fundamental Change includes certain business combination transactions involving the Company and certain de-listing events with respect to the Company’s common stock.

Events of Default

The Notes include customary provisions relating to the occurrence of “Events of Default” (as defined in the Indenture), including breaches of covenants, breaches of warranty, change of control, nonpayment, bankruptcy, assignment, foreclosure, cessation of business, and defaults under ancillary documents. Certain of the Events of Default are subject to notice and cure periods. As of March 31, 2026, the Company was in compliance with all covenants associated with the Notes.

Debt issuance costs related to the Notes totaled $11.2 million at inception and were comprised of discounts and commissions payable to the Initial Purchasers and third-party offering costs and will be amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the contractual term. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the unamortized debt discount and debt issuance costs of the Notes were approximately $7.8 million and $8.3 million, respectively, on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The effective interest rate during the quarter ended March 31, 2026 was 3.01%.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2026, the Notes did not meet any of the circumstances that would allow for a conversion. The Notes were therefore not convertible as of March 31, 2026, and were classified as long-term debt on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2026.

As of March 31, 2026, the total estimated fair value (which represents a Level 2 valuation) of the Notes is approximately $385.1 million.

The Company recognized $1.8 million and $1.8 million of contractual coupon interest expense and $0.5 million and $0.5 million of interest expense related to the amortization of deferred financing costs for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Capped Call Transactions

In connection with the offering of Notes, on August 7, 2024 and August 8, 2024, the Company entered into capped call transactions with certain financial institutions (“Capped Calls”). The Capped Calls each have an initial cap price of $114.02, which represents a premium of 100% over the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock on August 7, 2024. The Company used approximately $40.6 million of the net proceeds from the offering of the Notes to pay premiums on the Capped Calls.

The Capped Calls are expected to generally reduce potential dilution to the Company’s common stock upon any conversion of the Notes and/or offset any cash payments the Company is required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted Notes. The Capped Calls cover, subject to anti-dilution adjustments, approximately 4.3 million shares of the Company’s common stock.

The Capped Calls will expire upon the maturity of the Notes. The Capped Calls are separate transactions entered into by the Company with the financial institution counterparties thereto, and are not part of the terms of the Notes. Further, the Capped Calls do not change the holders’ rights under the Notes and do not meet the criteria for separate accounting as a derivative as they meet the criteria for equity classification. The premiums on the Capped Calls are recorded as a reduction to Additional Paid-In Capital within Shareholders’ Equity, net of deferred income taxes.
