Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On December 21, 2023, Biofrontera, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into (a) a Business Loan and Security Agreement (the “Agreement A”) pursuant to which the lender (“Lender A”) has made a term loan to the Company in the principal amount of $2,000,000 (“Loan A”), evidenced by a Secured Promissory Note, effective as of December 21, 2023 (“Note A”), made by the Company in favor of Lender A; and (b) a Business Loan and Security Agreement (“Agreement B” and together with the Agreement A, the “Loan Agreements”) pursuant to which the lender (“Lender B”) has made a term loan to the Company in the principal amount of $2,000,000 (the “Loan B” and together with the Loan A, the “Loans”), evidenced by a Secured Promissory Note, effective as of December 21, 2023 (“Note B”), made by the Company in favor of Lender B.

Each of the Loans requires the Company to make weekly payments of principal and interest in the amount of approximately $102,857 during their respective terms, which will result in total interest payments of approximately $880,000 under each of the Loans, assuming all scheduled payments of principal and interest are made on time. Each of the Loans will mature on July 5, 2024. Each of the Loans is secured by a security interest in substantially all of the Company’s assets (the “Collateral”).

Each of the Loan Agreements includes limitations on the Company’s ability to sell, lease, transfer, or otherwise dispose of its assets outside the ordinary course of its business; or to create, incur, allow or suffer to exist any lien on any of its assets other than liens in favor of Lender A and Lender B and certain other permitted liens. Each of the Loan Agreements also contains customary representations and warranties and customary events of default, upon the occurrence of which, after any applicable grace period, the applicable lender would have the ability to accelerate its loan and exercise remedies with respect to the Collateral.

This description of the Agreement A, the Note A, the Agreement B, and the Note B does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Agreement A, Note A, Agreement B, and the Note B, each of which will be attached as an exhibit to an amendment to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01 .

Item 1.02

Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement

In connection with entering into the Agreement A and Agreement B, the Company is in the process of voluntarily terminating the revolving line of credit between the Company and MidCap Business Credit LLC that provided for maximum borrowings of $6.5 million, subject to a borrowing base and an availability block. Once such termination is finalized, the Company will amend this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Item 2.03.
