Lines of Credit

Pacific Mercantile Bank

On October 28, 2019, the Company entered into a loan and security agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Pacific Mercantile Bank, as lender (the “Lender”), which provides for a revolving line of credit (the “PMB Loan”) in a maximum principal amount not to exceed the lesser of (i) $3 million or (ii) the sum of 90% of the Eligible Accounts (as defined in the Loan Agreement) plus 75% of the Eligible Inventory (as defined in the Loan Agreement, and subject to certain limitations set forth therein); provided that the maximum principal amount of the PMB Loan may be reduced from time to time in the Lender’s good faith business judgment as set forth in the Loan Agreement. Borrowings under the PMB Loan may be used for working capital. The PMB Loan matures on October 28, 2021, unless earlier terminated.

The Company’s obligations under the Loan Agreement are secured by a security interest in substantially all of the Company’s property. No borrowings may be made under the Loan Agreement unless and until Exim Bank agrees to guarantee the PMB Loan and the Company has entered into a borrower agreement with Exim Bank.

Borrowings under the PMB Loan bear interest at a daily rate equal to the prime rate published in the Wall Street Journal, plus 1.5% per annum; provided, that the interest rate in effect on any day shall not be less than 6.0% per annum. Additionally, the Company was required to pay an initial fee and is required to pay an annual fee of $52,500 as well as a termination fee equal to $30,000 in the event the Loan Agreement is terminated on or prior to October 28, 2020.

The Loan Agreement requires the Company to maintain unrestricted cash at the Lender plus unused availability under the PMB Loan in an amount equal to at least the Burn Rate. “Burn Rate” means the Company’s net profit/net loss plus depreciation plus amortization plus stock-based compensation, measured on a trailing three month basis. In addition, the Loan Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants for financings of its type (subject to customary exceptions).

In April, 2020, the Company drew $3.0 million under the PMB Loan and repaid the balance in full during the second quarter.  Interest incurred on the loan was not material. In May 2020 it was determined that the Company was not in compliance with the minimum unrestricted cash requirement under the PMB Loan’s existing covenants as of March 31, 2020. In July, 2020, the Company obtained a waiver for the covenant violation and entered into the First Amendment to the Loan and Security Agreement (the “First Amendment”). Under the First Amendment to the PMB Loan, the Company obtained a forbearance waiving non-compliance through August 1, 2020 subject to certain conditions. In addition, the First Amendment to the PMB Loan the loan covenants were modified to include (a) on or before July 31, 2020, the Borrower has received net cash proceeds in the amount of at least $8.0 million from the issuance of equity securities and those funds are deposited into accounts maintained by PMB and (b) the Company maintains unrestricted cash at PMB in an aggregate amount of $1.5 million.

As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had no borrowings outstanding and unused availability under this credit facility of approximately $1.0 million and $2.7 million, respectively

Term Loan

On November 9, 2018, the Company entered into a five-year secured Credit Agreement with SWK Funding LLC (“SWK”), pursuant to which the Company has borrowed $12.5 million (“SWK Loan”). The Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets. Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, repayment of the loan is interest-only for the first two years, paid quarterly with the option to extend the interest-only period. Principal repayments will begin in the first quarter of 2021 and will be approximately $0.7 million quarterly until the loan matures in the fourth quarter of 2023. The loan bears interest at the London Interbank Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 10% or another index that approximates LIBOR as close as possible if and when LIBOR no longer exists. Approximately $0.9 million of the proceeds from the SWK Loan were used to pay off all amounts owed to Western Alliance Bank under the business financing agreement entered into in 2018.

The Credit Agreement contains financial and non-financial covenants requiring the Company to, among other things, (i) maintain unencumbered liquid assets of (A) no less than $1.5 million or (B) the sum of aggregate cash flow from operations less capital expenditures, (ii) achieve certain revenue and EBITDA levels during the first two years of the loan, (iii) limit future borrowing, investments and dividends, and (iv) submit monthly and quarterly financial reporting.

In connection with the SWK Loan, the Company paid approximately $1.0 million in debt issuance costs, including a $0.2 million loan origination fee, a $0.4 million finder’s fee, and $0.4 million in legal and other fees. These costs were recognized as a discount on the SWK Loan and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the loan term which approximates the effective-interest method.

As of March 31, 2019, the Company was not in compliance with certain covenants in the Credit Agreement and in May 2019, SWK granted the Company a waiver of such covenants. On May 7, 2019, the Company and SWK agreed to amend the Credit Agreement (the “First Amendment) to increase the total commitment from $12.5 million to $15.0 million, and to revise the financial covenants to (a) adjust minimum revenue and EBITDA levels, (b) require the Company to have a shelf registration statement declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission before September 30, 2019, with a proposed maximum aggregate offering price of at least $10.0 million if the Company did not reach set minimum revenue levels for the three-month period ended September 30, 2019, and (c) require minimum liquidity of $1.5 million at all times. The First Amendment provided that if aggregate minimum revenue and EBITDA levels were not achieved by September 30, 2019, the minimum liquidity requirement would be increased to $3.0 million, until the Company has obtained additional equity or debt funding of no less than $5.0 million. In 2019, the Company obtained additional equity financing greater than $5.0 million. The Company borrowed the additional $2.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2019.

In connection with the amendment, the Company paid to SWK loan origination and other fees of approximately $0.1 million payable in cash and approximately $0.2 million in additional SWK Warrants (as defined below) to purchase the Company’s common stock. The Company paid an additional finder’s fee to Deal Partners Group (“DPG”) of approximately $0.1 million in cash and $0.1 million in additional DPG Warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock. The Company accounted for the First Amendment as a modification to existing debt and as a result, recognized the amounts paid to SWK in cash and warrants as additional debt issuance costs.

On September 30, 2019, BIOLASE, Inc entered into the Second Amendment to Credit Agreement (the “Second Amendment”) with SWK, in connection with that certain Credit Agreement, by and among the Company, SWK, and the lender parties thereto.  The Second Amendment amended the Credit Agreement to provide for a permitted inventory and accounts receivable revolving loan facility, secured by a first lien security interest in the Company’s inventory and accounts receivable, with a maximum principal amount of $5 million and with such other material terms and conditions acceptable to SWK in its commercially reasonable discretion. In addition, SWK agreed to waive the effect of the Company’s non-compliance with certain unencumbered liquid assets financial operating covenants as set forth in the Credit Agreement, and SWK agreed to forbear from exercising rights and remedies otherwise available to it in the event of such non-compliance through October 31, 2019, or earlier in the event that an additional equity or subordinated debt financing is consummated with gross proceeds of not less than $5 million, or in the event of a default under the Credit Agreement.

On November 6, 2019, the Company agreed to further amend the Credit Agreement. Pursuant to the Third Amendment, SWK granted the Company a waiver of the Company’s non-compliance with certain financial covenants in the Credit Agreement. Also pursuant to the Third Amendment, the Company and SWK agreed to (i) revise financial covenants to adjust minimum revenue and EBITDA levels and (ii) remove the automatic increase of the minimum liquidity requirement based on certain aggregate minimum revenue and EBITDA levels as of September 30, 2019 (which was added pursuant to the First Amendment). In connection with the Third Amendment, the Company consolidated the SWK Warrants issued to SWK on November 9, 2018 and May 7, 2019. The price was adjusted to $1.00 and the impact of this was de minimis.

As of December 31, 2019, the Company was not in compliance with the covenants under the Credit Agreement, as amended, and on March 25, 2020, the Company agreed to further amend the Credit Agreement (“Fourth Amendment”). Pursuant to the Fourth Amendment to the Credit Agreement, SWK granted the Company a waiver of the Company’s non-compliance with certain financial covenants contained in the Credit Agreement through March 31, 2020. Also pursuant to the Fourth Amendment, the Company and SWK agreed to (i) revise financial covenants to adjust minimum revenue and EBITDA levels and (ii) revise the financial covenant with respect to required unencumbered liquid assets.

On May 15, 2020, the Company entered into the Fifth Amendment to its Credit Agreement with SWK (the “Fifth Amendment”). The Fifth Amendment amended the Credit Agreement by providing for minimum consolidated unencumbered liquid assets of $1.5 million prior to June 30, 2020 and $3.0 million on or after June 30, 2020; providing for a minimum aggregate revenue target of $41.0 million for the twelve month period ending June 30, 2020, a related waiver of such minimum revenue target in the event that the Company raises equity capital or issues subordinated debt of not less than $10.0 million on or prior to June 30, 2020, and quarterly revenue targets; and providing for a minimum EBITDA target of ($7.0 million) for the twelve month period ended June 30, 2020, a related waiver of such minimum EBIDTA target in the event that the Company raises equity capital or issues subordinated debt of not less than $10.0 million on or prior to June 30, 2020, and quarterly EBITDA targets. The Fifth Amendment contains representations, warranties, covenants, releases, and conditions customary for a credit agreement amendment of this type. On June 8, 2020, SWK agreed to extend the deadline by which the Company is required to raise not less than $10.0 million in equity capital or subordinated debt to July 31, 2020 and agreed that the $6.9 million in proceeds from the offering completed on June 10, 2020 shall be counted toward the $10.0 million requirement On July 22, 2020, the Company consummated the public offering of 18,000 units, each consisting of one share of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Series F Convertible Preferred Stock”) and 2,500 warrants, each to purchase one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.40 per share, for which it raised gross proceeds of $18.0 million before the payment of dealer-manager fees and associated offering expenses. Based on the extension of the compliance deadline to July 31, 2020, the Company was in compliance with or received a waiver for debt  covenants as of June 30, 2020.

The Company does not anticipate it will regain compliance with the financial covenants under the Credit Agreement by September 30, 2020 due to the uncertainty surrounding the impact of COVID-19 on its business. Therefore the Term Loan is classified as a current liability in the unaudited consolidated balance sheets.

The Company recognized approximately $0.6 million and $0.5 million and $1.2 million and $1.0 million in interest expense for the three and six months ending June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.  The weighted-average interest rate as of June 30, 2020 was 12.25%.  

Paycheck Protection Program Loan

On April 14, 2020, Biolase, Inc., was granted a loan from Pacific Mercantile Bank in the aggregate amount of $2,980,000.00, pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program under Division A, Title I of the CARES Act, which was enacted March 27, 2020.

The PPP Loan, which was in the form of a Note dated April 13, 2020 issued by the Company, matures on April 13, 2022 and bears interest at a rate of 1.0% per annum. Interest is payable monthly commencing on November 1, 2020. The Note may be prepaid by the Company at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties. Funds from the PPP Loan may only be used for payroll costs, costs used to continue group health care benefits, mortgage payments, rent, utilities, and interest on other debt obligations incurred before February 15, 2020. The Company intends to use the entire PPP Loan amount for qualifying expenses. Under the terms of the PPP, certain amounts of the PPP Loan may be forgiven if they are used for qualifying expenses as described in the CARES Act. However, there can be no assurance that such PPP loan will be forgiven.

The application for these funds requires the Company to, in good faith, certify that the current economic uncertainty made the loan request necessary to support the ongoing operations of the Company. This certification further requires the Company to take into account our current business activity and our ability to access other sources of liquidity sufficient to support ongoing operations in a manner that is not significantly detrimental to the business.

The Company recorded the principal amount of approximately $3.0 million due on the PPP Loan in Non current term loans in the unaudited consolidated balance sheet.  Interest on the PPP Loan was not material.

In July 2020, the Company amended the terms of the PPP Loan. Details of the amendment are discussed in Note 15 to these unaudited consolidated financial statements.

EIDL Loan

On May 22, 2020, the Company executed the standard loan documents required for securing a loan (the “EIDL Loan”) from the United States Small Business Administration (the “SBA”) under its Economic Injury Disaster Loan assistance program in light of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business. The principal amount of the EIDL Loan is $150,000, with proceeds to be used for working capital purposes. Interest on the EIDL Loan accrues at the rate of 3.75% per annum and installment payments, including principal and interest, are due monthly beginning twelve months from the date of the EIDL Loan in the amount of $731 dollars. The balance of principal and interest is payable thirty years from the date of the promissory note. The principal amounts were recognized as Non current term loans in the consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2020. Interest on the loan was not material.

Western Alliance Warrants

On March 6, 2018, the Company issued to Western Alliance warrants (the “Original Western Alliance Warrants”) to purchase up to the number of shares of common stock equal to $120,000 divided by the applicable exercise price at the time such warrants are exercised. The Original Western Alliance Warrants are fully vested and exercisable. The Original Western Alliance Warrants may be exercised with a cash payment from Western Alliance, or, in lieu of a cash payment, Western Alliance may convert the warrants into a number of shares, in whole or in part. The initial exercise price of the warrants was $2.35 per share. On September 27, 2018, the Company entered into the Second Modification Agreement to amend the Original Business Financing Agreement. In connection with the Second Modification Agreement, the Original Western Alliance Warrants were terminated, and the Company issued new warrants (the “Western Alliance Warrants”) to purchase up to the number of shares of common stock equal to $120,000 divided by the exercise price of $2.13, which was the closing price of the Company’s common stock on September 27, 2018. The Western Alliance Warrants are immediately exercisable and expire on September 27, 2028. These warrants contain down-round features that require the Company to adjust the exercise price proportionately should the Company issue shares at a price per share less than the exercise price.  The sale of common stock in the second quarter of 2020 triggered an adjustment to the exercise price to approximately $0.60 per share.  The impact of the adjustment to the exercise price was not material.

SWK Warrants

In connection with the Credit Agreement, the Company issued warrants to SWK (the “SWK Warrants”) on November 9, 2018, to purchase up to 372,023 shares of the Company’s common stock. The SWK Warrants are immediately exercisable and expire on November 9, 2026. The exercise price of the SWK Warrants is $1.34, which was the average closing price of the Company’s common stock for the ten trading days immediately preceding November 9, 2018. These warrants contain down-round features that require the Company to adjust the exercise price proportionately should the Company issue shares at a price per share less than the exercise price. The fair value of the SWK Warrants was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions: expected term of 8 years; volatility of 81.79%; annual dividend per share of $0.00; and risk-free interest rate of 3.13%; and resulted in an estimated fair value of $0.4 million.  

In November 2019, these warrants were consolidated and the strike price was adjusted to $1.00, and in March 2020, the strike price was adjusted a second time to $0.49.  The impact of both reprice events was de minimis to the unaudited consolidated financial statements. In connection with the Fifth Amendment, the Company entered into a Third Amendment to the SWK Warrant Agreement. Under this amendment, the Company granted to SWK 63,779 additional common stock warrants at an exercise price of approximately $0.39198. All other terms and conditions to the additional warrants were the same as those previously granted. The Company also revised the exercise price of the 487,198 common stock warrants held by SWK to $0.39198. The Company measured the fair value of the 63,779 warrants granted using the black-Scholes. The fair value of the additional warrants and the aggregate impact of the strike price adjustments in previous amendments to the Warrant Agreement were less than $0.1 million and not material to the unaudited consolidated financial statements. Due to the repricing that occurred in the second quarter of 2020, the down round features of these warrants was not triggered by the Company’s June 2020, sale of common stock.

DPG Warrants

In connection with the SWK Loan, the Company paid a finder’s fee to Deal Partners Group of $0.4 million cash and issued warrants to purchase up to 279,851 shares of common stock (the “DPG Warrants”). The DPG Warrants were issued on November 14, 2018, were exercisable immediately, and expire on November 9, 2026. The exercise price of the DPG Warrants is $1.34 which was the average closing price of the Company’s common stock for the ten trading days immediately preceding November 9, 2018. These warrants contain down-round features that require the Company to adjust the exercise price proportionately should the Company issue shares at a price per share less than the exercise price. The fair value of the DPG Warrants of $0.3 million was estimated using the Black Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: expected term of 8 years; volatility of 81.79%; annual dividend per share of $0.00; and risk-free interest rate of 3.13%. In November 2019, the exercise price of the DPG Warrants issued on November 9, 2018 was adjusted from $1.34 per share to $0.8767 per share and the exercise price of the DPG Warrants issued on May, 2019 was adjusted from $2.17 per share to $1.4197 per share. The impact of the reprice was de minimis to the unaudited consolidated financial statements. The June 2020 sale of common stock triggered the down round features of these warrants and in August 2020, the Company adjusted the exercise price of these warrants to $0.62 and $0.38 per share the impact of this reprice was not material.

The value of both the SWK Warrants and the DPG Warrants was recognized as a discount on the SWK Loan and are being amortized on a straight-line basis which approximates the effective-interest method, over the loan term of five years. Additionally, based on the adoption of ASU 2017-11 in the fourth quarter of 2018, these warrants are classified as equity in the consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2020.

The future minimum principal and interest payments as of June 30, 2020 are as follows (in thousands):
