Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On September 15, 2020, Antares Pharma, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Second Amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to its Loan and Security Agreement dated June 6, 2017 (the “Original Loan Agreement”), as amended by the First Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement dated June 26, 2019 (the “First Amendment” and, the Original Loan Agreement, as amended by the First Amendment, the “Loan Agreement”), with Hercules Capital, Inc., as a lender and agent for the several banks and other financial institutions or entities from time to time party thereto.

Under the Loan Agreement, the first tranche of $25.0 million was funded upon execution of the Original Loan Agreement in June 2017, and an additional $15.0 million tranche loan (the “Tranche II Loan”) was funded in June 2019 upon the signing of the First Amendment. In addition, the Company may, but is not obligated to, request one or more additional advances of at least $5.0 million, not to exceed $10.0 million in the aggregate (the “Tranche III Loan”), during the period between January 1, 2020 and September 15, 2020. The maturity date for the existing term loan under the Loan Agreement is July 1, 2022, which may be extended to July 1, 2024 contingent upon satisfaction of a certain loan extension milestone.

The sole change under the Second Amendment is to extend the period during which the Company may request advances under the Tranche III Loan to October 31, 2020.

The foregoing description of the Second Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Second Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.  

Item 2.03.Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation of a Registrant.

The information set forth in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K pertaining to the Loan Agreement and the Second Amendment is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03.
