Apollo Endosurgery, Inc. (NASDAQ:APEN) Files An 8-K Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On June 20, 2019, Apollo Endosurgery, Inc. and its lender, Solar Capital, Ltd. (“Solar”), entered into the First Amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”).

Specifically, the Amendment (i) adjusts the trailing six-month endo-bariatric revenue requirements for the periods ending June 30, July 31, and August 31 and (ii) increases the minimum liquidity covenant to $12.5 million from $10.0 million while stipulating that the minimum liquidity covenant will revert back to $10.0 million if certain year-end revenue and cash milestones are achieved.

The description of the Amendment included herein is not complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

Our previous revenue guidance for 2019 remains unchanged from that provided during our fourth quarter earnings call on March 18, 2019. Specifically, endo-bariatric revenue growth of 15% for the full year 2019 with growth lower than 15% in the first half of 2019 and higher than 15% in the second half of 2019.

The Amendment requires minimum endo-bariatric revenue of $22 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2019. For our quarter ended March 31, 2019, we reported endo-bariatric revenue of $10.8 million which makes $11.2 million our minimum endo-bariatric revenue requirement for the quarter ended June 30, 2019. We currently estimate endo-bariatric revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 will fall within the range of $11.5 million to $11.8 million, representing an increase of 6.5% to 9.3% over the second quarter of 2018.

These estimates are forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause results to be materially different than expectations. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include: reports of adverse events related to our products, outcomes of clinical studies, developments in medical technology, regulatory approvals and extensive regulatory oversight by the FDA or other regulatory bodies, unfavorable media coverage related to our products or related procedures, reimbursement decisions by private or government payors, physician adoption and recommendations of procedures utilizing our products and other factors detailed from time to time in the reports Apollo files with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March, 31, 2019. Copies of reports filed with the SEC are posted on Apollo’s website and are available from Apollo without charge. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and speak only as of the date hereof, and, except as required by law, Apollo disclaims any obligation to update these forward-looking statements to reflect future events or circumstances.
