Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
Perceptive Credit Facility
On March 2, 2026 (the "Closing Date"), Pulmonx Corporation (the "Company") entered into a Credit Agreement and Guaranty (the "Credit Agreement") and a Security Agreement (the "Security Agreement"), with Perceptive Credit Holdings V, LP ("Perceptive"), as the initial lender, administrative agent and collateral agent. The Perceptive Credit Agreement provides for a senior secured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $60.0 million (the "Loan Facility").
On the Closing Date, the Company borrowed an initial loan under the Credit Agreement in an aggregate principal amount of $40.0 million. The Loan Facility permits the Company to borrow up to an additional $20 million, in two additional equal tranches. The first $10.0 million tranche becomes available if the Company reaches at least $92.5 million in revenue for any trailing twelve-monthperiod ending as of the end of last day of any fiscal quarter through, and including, the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2027, and the second $10.0 million tranche becomes available if the Company reaches at least $100.0 million in revenue for any trailing twelve-monthperiod ending as of the end of last day of any fiscal quarter through, and including, the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2027.
The Loan Facility has a maturity date of March 2, 2031 (the "Maturity Date"). The Loan Facility accrues interest, payable monthly in arrears, at an annual rate equal to the sum of (a) an applicable margin of 7.00% (the "Applicable Margin") plus (b) the greater of (i) one-monthterm SOFR and (ii) 3.75%. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default under the Credit Agreement, the Applicable Margin will increase by an additional 3.00% per annum at Perceptive's election (retroactive to the date of such event of default), or automatically in the case of a payment or bankruptcy event of default.
For a period of 36 months following the Closing Date, at the Company's option with respect to each interest payment date, up to 2.00% per annum of the Applicable Margin will be paid-in-kindand added to the outstanding principal balance of the Loan Facility on such interest payment date.
Prior to the Maturity Date, there will be no scheduled principal payments under the Loan Facility. On the Maturity Date, the Company is required to pay Perceptive the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the loans thereunder and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon. The loans under the Loan Facility may be prepaid at any time, subject to a prepayment premium ranging from 2% to 10% if such prepayment occurs on or prior to the fourth anniversary of the Closing Date.
On the Closing Date, the Company paid an upfront fee of $750,000, which is equal to 1.25% of the aggregate principal amount of the Loan Facility. On each date when any outstanding principal under the Loan Facility is repaid or required to be repaid (including but not limited to, on the Maturity Date, or upon prepayment either by means of voluntary prepayment, mandatory prepayment, or acceleration in connection with an event of default), the Company will be required to pay an exit fee equal to 1.50% of such principal amount.
The Company's obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by Pulmonx International Sàrl, the Company's wholly-owned Swiss subsidiary, and will be guaranteed by all subsidiaries of the Company organized in the United States or Switzerland, and any other material subsidiaries. Pursuant to the Security Agreement, the Company's obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by a first priority perfected security interest on substantially all of the existing and after-acquired assets of the Company and subsidiary guarantors, subject to customary exceptions.
The Credit Agreement contains certain representations and warranties, affirmative covenants, negative covenants, and events of default that are customarily required for similar financings. In addition, the Credit Agreement contains financial covenants requiring the Company to (i) at all times prior to the Maturity Date, maintain minimum Liquidity (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of at least $4.0 million and (ii) as of each calculation date set forth in the Credit Agreement, maintain Revenue (as defined in the Credit Agreement) that is not less than the amounts specified in the Credit Agreement. The occurrence of an event of default under the Credit Agreement could result in, among other things, the declaration that all outstanding principal and interest thereunder are immediately due and payable in whole or in part.
Perceptive Warrants
On the Closing Date, the Company issued to Perceptive a warrant to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.001 per share, with an exercise price of $1.92 per share, which is a 25% premium to the 10-dayvolume weighted average price of the common stock for the period ending on the business day immediately preceding the Closing Date.
On the date of the funding of each delayed draw term loan under the Credit Agreement, the Company will issue to Perceptive additional warrants to purchase a number of shares of common stock equal to 0.025 times the dollar amount of delayed draw term loans funded on such date (which number of shares will be adjusted for any stock splits, stock combinations and the like that take place after the Closing Date and prior to the applicable funding date), with an exercise price equal to a 25% premium to the 10-dayvolume weighted average price of the common stock for the period ending on the business day immediately preceding such date.
All the warrants, regardless of issuance date, will have an expiration date of March 2, 2033, may be exercised on a cashless or "net" basis, are freely transferable, and will be automatically exercised, on a cashless basis, prior to their expiration if the value of the shares underlying the respective warrant is greater than the then-applicable exercise price. The warrant exercise prices are subject to adjustment for certain recapitalization events, as further described in the warrants.
The warrants were, and the additional warrants will be, issued in reliance upon an exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act. The warrants and the shares of common stock issuable thereunder may not be offered, sold, pledged or otherwise transferred in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements under the Securities Act.
