Item 1.02
Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.
On June 14, 2016, Chromadex Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) used a portion of the net proceeds from its June 3, 2016 registered direct offering of common stock to repay an aggregate of approximately $4,851,542 (the “Payoff Amount”) owed to Hercules Funding II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Hercules”) , under the Company’s loan and security agreement with Hercules and Hercules Capital, Inc. (formerly known as Hercules Technology Growth Capital, Inc.), a Maryland corporation, as agent, dated as of September 29, 2014 (the “Loan Agreement”). The Payoff Amount was comprised of $4,554,659 in aggregate principal amount, $15,789 in accrued
interest, $187,500 in end of term charges, $91,093 in prepayment penalties and $2,500 in other fees. Upon Hercules’ receipt of the Payoff Amount, the Loan Agreement terminated.
As previously reported, the Loan Agreement initially provided the Company with access to a term loan of up to $5 million. The first $2.5 million of the term loan was funded at the closing of the Loan Agreement, and was repayable in installments over 30 months, following an initial interest-only period of twelve months after closing. The Company drew down the remaining $2.5 million of the term loan on June 17, 2015 and the interest-only period was extended to March 31, 2016. In connection with the loan, the Company paid an aggregate of $65,000 in facility charges to Hercules
and granted Hercules first priority liens and a security interest in substantially all of its assets, exclusive of intellectual property and 35% of the capital stock of any foreign subsidiary, as collateral for the obligations under the Loan Agreement. The Loan Agreement provided for a prepayment penalty based on the date of prepayment.
In connection with the termination of the Loan Agreement, upon receipt by Hercules of the Payoff Amount, Hercules’s commitments to extend further credit to the Company terminated, all obligations, covenants, debts and liabilities of the Company under the Loan Agreement were satisfied and discharged in full, all documents entered into in connection with the Loan Agreement, other than a warrant issued pursuant to the Loan Agreement, were terminated, all liens or security interests granted to secure the obligations under the Loan Agreement terminated and all guaranties of the Company’s obligations under the Loan Agreement terminated.
