Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Second Amendment, the parties thereto agreed to, among other things: (1) acknowledge that the Company’s prior prepayment made with certain cash proceeds received in connection with that certain License, Development and Commercialization Agreement, dated as of May 11, 2022, by and among Navire Pharma, Inc., the Company and Bristol-Myers Squibb Company satisfied the mandatory prepayment requirement under the Amended Loan Agreement, on the terms and conditions specified in the Amended Loan Agreement, (2) permit certain budgeted expenses to be excluded from the definition of cash proceeds subject to Borrower’s mandatory prepayment obligations, on the terms and conditions specified in the Amended Loan Agreement, (3) remove certain threshold amounts applicable to certain prepayment events and (4) terminate the Lenders’ tranche 2 commitments.
