The Credit Agreement

In connection with the PSA, iBio CDMO entered into a Credit Agreement, dated November 1, 2021, with Woodforest pursuant to which Woodforest provided iBio CDMO a $22,375,000 Term Loan to purchase the Facility, which Term Loan is evidenced by a term note (the “Term Note”) (for a complete description of the transaction please see Note 6 – Significant Transactions). The Term Loan was advanced in full on the closing date. The Term Loan bore interest at a rate of 3.25%, with higher interest rates upon an event of default, which interest is payable monthly beginning November 5, 2021. Principal on the Term Loan was originally payable on November 1, 2023, subject to early termination upon events of default. The Term Loan provides that it may be prepaid by iBio CDMO at any time and provides for mandatory prepayment upon certain circumstances.

On October 11, 2022, iBio CDMO and Woodforest amended the Credit Agreement to: (i) include a payment of $5,500,000 of the outstanding principal balance owed under the Credit Agreement on the date of the amendment, (ii) include a payment of $5,100,000 of the outstanding principal balance owed under the Credit Agreement within two (2) business days upon the Company’s receipt of such amount owed to the Company by Fraunhofer as part of its legal settlement with them (the “Fraunhofer Settlement Funds”) (see Note 19 – Fraunhofer Settlement for more information), (iii) include principal payments of $250,000 per month in debt amortization for a six-month period commencing the date of the amendment through March 2023, (iv) include an amendment fee of $22,375 and all costs and expenses, (v) require delivery of a report detailing cash flow expenditures every two (2) weeks for the period prior to the delivery of the last report and a monthly 12-month forecast, (vi) reduce the liquidity covenant (the “Liquidity Covenant”) in the Guaranty (as defined in the Credit Agreement) from $10 million to $7.5 million with the ability to lower the liquidity covenant to $5.0 million upon the occurrence of a specific milestone in the Credit Agreement, and (vii) change the annual filing requirement solely for the Fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, such that the filing is acceptable with or without a “going concern” designation.  In addition, Woodforest cancelled the irrevocable letter of credit issued by JPMorgan Chase Bank upon closing of the amendment.

In January 2023, the Company’s unrestricted cash decreased below the required $7,500,000, which created an event of default under the Credit Agreement and Guaranty as a result of not complying with the Liquidity Covenant. As a result, on February 9, 2023, iBio CDMO and Woodforest entered into a second amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “Second Amendment”), which amended, among other things, added a milestone that had to be met by a specified date, the failure of which would be an event of default. In addition, on February 9, 2023, the Company, as guarantor, entered into a second amendment to the Guaranty, which amended, among other things, allowed the Company to account for the Fraunhofer Settlement Funds in determining whether the Company is in compliance with the Liquidity Covenant until a specified period dependent upon the occurrence of a specific milestone in the Credit Agreement.

On February 20, 2023, iBio CDMO entered into a third amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “Third Amendment”), which removed the added milestone specified in the Second Amendment, the failure of which would be an event of default.  In addition, the Guaranty was amended to allow the Company until February 28, 2023, to account for the Fraunhofer Settlement Funds in determining whether the Company is in compliance with the Liquidity Covenant without being dependent upon a specified milestone. In addition, the Company agreed that each time it consummates an at-the-market issuance of Equity Interests (as defined within the Credit Agreement), no later than five (5) days following such issuance of Equity Interests, it will (i) pay to Woodforest in immediately available cash funds, without setoff or counterclaim of any kind, forty percent (40%) of the Net Proceeds (as defined within the Credit Agreement) received by the Company for such issuance of Equity Interests; provided, any such payment would cease upon payment obligations in full and (ii) provide Woodforest with a detailed accounting of each such issuance of Equity Interests.

On March 24, 2023, iBio CDMO and Woodforest entered into a fourth amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “Fourth Amendment”), which within the Fourth Amendment Woodforest agreed to (i) reduce the percentage of any payment to Woodforest the Company is required to make from the proceeds of sales of its common stock under its at-the-market facility from 40% to 20%, (ii) reduce the percentage of any payment to Woodforest the Company is required to make from the proceeds of sales of its equipment from 40% to 20%, and (iii) allowed the Company to retain $2,000,000 of the $5,100,000 that the Company received from the Fraunhofer Settlement Funds, with the remaining $3,000,000 being held in a Company account at Woodforest. In addition, the Company was obligated to (y) deliver to Woodforest an executed copy of a purchase agreement (the “Woodforest Purchase Agreement”) for the sale of the Facility, no later than April 14, 2023, and (z) pay to Woodforest a fee in the amount of $75,000 on the earlier of the date of the closing of the

Woodforest Purchase Agreement, or the Maturity Date (as defined in the Credit Agreement).  In addition, on March 24, 2023, the Company, as guarantor, entered into a fourth amendment to the Guaranty, which reduced the Liquidity Covenant from $7,500,000 to $1,000,000.  

On May 10, 2023, iBio CDMO and Woodforest entered into a fifth amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “Fifth Amendment”), which within the Fifth Amendment Woodforest agreed to: (i) waive the Company’s obligation to deliver to Woodforest an executed copy of a Woodforest Purchase Agreement for the sale of the Facility no later than April 14, 2023 and, (ii) release $500,000 of the $3.0 million being held in a Company account at Woodforest when the outstanding principal amount is reduced to $10.0 million and for each additional $2.5 million reduction of the outstanding principal amount, an additional $750,000 will be released from the Company account at Woodforest. In addition, starting on the effective date of the Fifth Amendment, the interest on the Term Loan increased to 5.25%, and the Term Loan further accrued interest, payable in kind and added to the balance of the outstanding principal amount at a fixed rate per annum equal to (a) 1.00%, if the Facility is sold on or before June 30, 2023, (b) 2.00% if the Facility is sold after June 2023, but on or before September 30, 2023, or (c) 3.00%, if the Facility is sold after September 30, 2023, or not sold prior to the maturity date. The Company also agreed to pay Woodforest a fee in the amount of (x) $75,000 if the Facility is sold on or before June 30, 2023, (y) $100,000 if the Facility is sold after June 2023, but on or before September 30, 2023, or (z) $125,000, if the Facility is sold after September 30, 2023, or not sold prior to the maturity date.

Credit and Security Agreement

​

On January 16, 2024, the Company entered into a credit and security agreement (the “Credit and Security Agreement”) with Loeb Term Solutions LLC, an Illinois limited liability company (“Lender”), for a term loan or equipment line of credit loan (the “Loan”) pursuant to which the Company issued to Lender a term promissory note in the principal amount of $1,071,572 (the “2024 Term Note”) bearing interest at the Prime Rate, as quoted in the Wall Street Journal plus 8.5% (the “Effective Rate”), for proceeds of $1,027,455 after payment of $42,863 to Lender as an origination fee, $1,173 for appraisal costs, and $75.00 for bank wire fees.

The 2024 Term Note provides for monthly payments of principal and interest based on a four-year amortization period, with a balloon payment of all principal, accrued interest and any other amounts due on the two year anniversary of the 2024 Term Note. The Credit and Security Agreement granted to Lender a security interest in substantially all of the Company’s assets other than any intellectual property related to any of the Company’s filed patents (the “Loeb Collateral”) to secure the Company’s obligations under the 2024 Term Note. The 2024 Term Note is subject to a prepayment fee of: 4% of the principal amount being prepaid if the 2024 Term Note is prepaid during the first 12 months from its issuance, and 3% of the principal amount being prepaid if the 2024 Term Note is prepaid during the second 12 months from its issuance date.  

The Credit and Security Agreement provides that the Company may request that Lender make further loan advances to the Company subject to certain conditions, including that the Company is not otherwise in default under the Credit and Security Agreement and its obligations and liabilities to Lender do not exceed a borrowing base equal to the lesser of: (a) eighty percent (80.0%) of the forced liquidation value of the Company’s Eligible Equipment as determined by Lender in its sole reasonable discretion, or (b) a monthly dollar amount. The Credit and Security Agreement defines “Eligible Equipment” as equipment that (a) is owned by the Company free of any title defect or any lien or interest of any person except the lien in favor of the Lender; (b) is located at locations permitted by the Credit and Security Agreement; (c) in the Lender’s reasonable opinion, is not obsolete, unsalable, damaged or unfit for further use; (d) is appraised by an appraiser satisfactory to the Lender; (e) complies with any representation or warranty with respect to equipment contained in the Credit and Security Agreement; and (f) is otherwise acceptable to the Lender in its reasonable discretion.

The Company’s obligations to Lender under the 2024 Term Note and Credit Security Agreement are further secured by an validity guarantee, dated January 16, 2024 (the “Validity Guarantee”), executed by Dr. Martin Brenner and Felipe Duran in their individual capacity (the “Indemnitors”) for the benefit of Lender. The Validity Guarantee provides that the Indemnitors will indemnify the Lender from any loss or damage, including any actual, consequential or incidental loss or damage, suffered by Lender as a result of, or arising out of, among other things, any willful or intentional misrepresentation or gross negligence by the Company in connection with the Loan and any acts of fraud, conversion, misappropriation or misapplication of funds or proceeds of any Loeb Collateral by the Company or the Indemnitors.

The Credit and Security Agreement contains customary events of default. If an event of default occurs, the 2024 Term Note provides that regardless of whether the Lender elects to accelerate the maturity of the 2024 Term Note, the entire principal remaining unpaid hereunder shall thereafter bear interest at the rate equal to the Effective Rate plus 6% per annum.

​

The financing is payable in monthly installments of $30,710 through December 2025 and a balloon payment of $652,060 in January 2026.
