Conformis, Inc. (NASDAQ:CFMS) Files An 8-K Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
Item 1.01

New Credit Agreement
On June 25, 2019, Conformis, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a new loan and security agreement (the “New Credit Agreement”) with Innovatus Life Sciences Lending Fund I, LP (“Innovatus”), as a collateral agent and lender, East West Bank (the “Bank”) and the other lenders party thereto from time to time (collectively, the “Lenders”), to which the Lenders agreed to make term loans and a revolving credit facility to the Company to repay existing indebtedness, for working capital and general business purposes, in a principal amount of up to $30 million.
The term loan facility established under the New Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all of the Company’s and its U.S. subsidiaries’ properties, rights and assets.
The term loan under the New Credit Agreement bears interest at a floating annual rate calculated at the greater of the variable rate of interest as most recently announced by the Bank as prime or 5.50%, plus 3.75% (“Term Loan Basic Interest Rate”). The Company is required to make monthly interest only payments in arrears on the term loan for four years; provided that the Company has elected to pay 2.50% per annum of such Term Loan Basic Interest Rate in-kind by adding an amount equal to 2.50% per annum of the outstanding principal amount to the then outstanding principal balance on a monthly basis until the third anniversary of the New Credit Agreement.>Commencing on July 1, 2023, and continuing on the payment date of each month thereafter, the Company is required to make consecutive equal monthly payments of principal of the term loan, together with accrued interest, in arrears, to the Lenders. All unpaid principal, accrued and unpaid interest with respect to the term loan, and a final fee in the amount of 5.0% of the term loan commitment, is due and payable in full on the term loan maturity date of June 1, 2024. Under the New Credit Agreement, the Bank will make loans of up to $10,000,000 from time to time outstanding, subject to availability based on a borrowing base equal to (i) 85.00% of eligible accounts, subject to a maximum of 2.50% dilution based upon collections, minus (ii) the Company’s foreign accounts receivable credit insurance’s outstanding co-payment and minimum annual deductible (that has not been used at the applicable time). Advances under the revolving credit facility bear interest at a rate of 0.50% above the Bank’s prime rate. Interest on the revolving advances is payable monthly in arrears and the principal is due in full on June 1, 2024.
>At the Company’s option, the Company may prepay all, but not less than all, of the term loans advanced by the Lenders under the term loan facility after the first year, subject to a prepayment fee and an amount equal to the sum of all outstanding principal of the term loans plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the prepayment date, a final fee, plus all other amounts that are due and payable, including the Lenders’ expenses and interest at the default rate with respect to any past due amounts.
The New Credit Agreement also includes customary representations, affirmative and negative covenants, including a trailing six months revenue test, a liquidity covenant and a revolving line liquidity covenant. Additionally, the New Credit Agreement includes events of default, the occurrence and continuation of which could cause interest to be charged at the rate that is otherwise applicable plus 5.0% and would provide Innovatus, as collateral agent, with the right to exercise remedies against the Company and the collateral securing the credit facility, including foreclosure against assets securing the credit facilities, including the Company’s cash. These events of default include, among other things, the Company’s failure to pay any amounts due under the credit facility,
a breach of covenants under the credit facility, the Company’s insolvency, a material adverse change, the occurrence of any default under certain other indebtedness in an amount greater than $250,000, one or more judgments against us in an amount greater than $500,000, changes with respect to governmental approvals and FDA actions.
The term loan under the New Credit Agreement replaces the Company’s prior credit facility established under the Loan and Security Agreement with Oxford Finance LLC, as a collateral agent, and the lenders party thereto from time to time, dated as of January 6, 2017, as amended by that certain First Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement dated as of March 9, 2017, that certain Second Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement dated as of June 30, 2017, that certain Third Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement dated as of December 18, 2017, that certain Fourth Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement dated as of July 31, 2018 and that Fifth Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement dated as of December 13, 2018.
Investment Agreement
On June 25, 2019, the Company entered into an investment agreement (the “Investment Agreement”) with Innovatus, Innovatus Life Sciences Offshore Fund I, LP and Innovatus Life Sciences Offshore Fund I-A, LP (collectively, the “Investors”), to which the Company agreed to issue and sell to the Investors an aggregate of 775,194 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Shares”), in a private placement (the “Private Placement”).

Registration Rights Agreement
Also on June 25, 2019, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with the Investors, to which the Company agreed to register for resale the Shares held by the Investors under certain circumstances. Under the Registration Rights Agreement, in the event that the Company receives a written request from the Investors that the Company file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a registration statement covering the resale of all of the Shares, the Company shall promptly but no later than 120 days after the date of such request prepare and file with the SEC such registration statement. The Investors have agreed to use best efforts not to make such a request, including by effecting any planned sales of Shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Company has agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective and to keep such registration statement effective until the date the Shares covered by such registration statement have been sold or may be resold to Rule 144 without restriction. The Company has agreed to be responsible for all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the registration of the Shares.
The Company has granted the Investors customary indemnification rights in connection with the registration statement. The Investors have also granted the Company customary indemnification rights in connection with the registration statement.

The sale of the securities will not involve a public offering and will be made without general solicitation or general advertising. The Investors represented that they are accredited investors, as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act, and that they are acquiring the Shares for investment purposes only and not with a view to any resale, distribution or other disposition of the Shares in violation of the United States federal securities laws.
