Item
1.01 – Entry in Material Definitive Agreement.
On
February 10, 2021, we entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”)
of our Loan Facility Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”), dated as of
August 13, 2019, with Juvenescence Limited (“Juvenescence”). The
Amendment extends the maturity date of loans under the Loan
Agreement to February 14, 2022 and increases the amount of the loan
facility from $2 million to $6 million, of which we have previously
borrowed $2 million. All loans in excess of the initial $2 million
that we previously borrowed are subject to Juvenescence’s
discretion. Additional loans, if made, will be in denominations of
$1 million.
The
Amendment also grants Juvenescence the right to convert the
principal amount of outstanding loans under the Loan Agreement, as
amended, into shares of AgeX common stock at the Market Price as
defined in the Amendment. The Amendment places certain limits on
the number of shares that may be issued upon conversion of
outstanding loan amounts by Juvenescence, or by AgeX under AgeX’s
loan conversion rights, if under the rules of the NYSE American or
any other national securities exchange on which AgeX common stock
may be listed, approval by AgeX stockholders would be required in
connection with the issuance of the shares. Under those limits (a)
the number of shares of common stock that may be issued upon
conversion of any loan advance, at a conversion price that is lower
than the market price of AgeX common stock at the time of funding
the applicable advance being converted, may not exceed 19.9% of the
shares outstanding at August 13, 2019, and (b) no advances may be
converted into common stock in an amount that would cause
Juvenescence’s ownership of AgeX common stock to equal or exceed
50% of the number of shares of AgeX common stock then
outstanding.
AgeX
will pay Juvenescence an Origination Fee in the amount of $160,000
upon the earlier of the repayment of the loan by AgeX or the
conversion of the loan balance into AgeX common stock by
Juvenescence or by AgeX. The Origination Fee will be paid in shares
of AgeX common stock rather than cash if AgeX exercises its right
to convert the Loan into shares of common stock, or if Juvenescence
elects to convert the loan in shares of common stock and elects to
receive the Origination Fee in AgeX common stock.
In
connection with the Amendment, AgeX entered into Amendment No. 2 to
its Registration Rights Agreement with Juvenescence to include
among the shares of AgeX common stock to which Juvenescence has
registration rights any shares of common stock that may be issued
to Juvenescence upon conversion of the loans under the Loan
Agreement, as amended, or under our March 30, 2020 Secured
Convertible Facility Agreement, as amended, with Juvenescence (the
“2020 Loan Agreement). Under the Registration Rights Agreement, as
amended, we have agreed to register for resale under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, shares of AgeX common stock that we issued
to Juvenescence pursuant to the Loan Agreement or the 2020 Loan
Agreement, or that may be acquired by Juvenescence upon conversion
of the loans into common stock, or upon exercise of certain common
stock purchase warrants that we issued to Juvenescence pursuant to
the Loan Agreement and the 2020 Loan Agreement.
The
foregoing descriptions of the Amendment of the Loan Agreement and
Amendment No. 2 to the Registration Rights Agreement are summaries
only and are qualified in all respects by reference to the full
text of such documents which have been filed as Exhibit 10.1 and
Exhibit 10.2, respectively, to this Report.
