Centogene N.V.

 

On May 12, 2024, Centogene N.V. (the “Company”) entered into a series of related transactions with Pharmaceutical Investment Company (“PIC” or “Lifera”), a closed joint stock company incorporated pursuant to the laws of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (“KSA”), and Oxford Finance LLC (“Oxford”), the Company’s senior lender. Pursuant to such transactions, the Company is entitled to receive (i) up to $15,000,000 in tranched cash payments pursuant to an accounts receivable financing with PIC (subject to satisfaction of specified conditions), $5,000,000 of which was paid to the Company on or about May 13, 2024, and (ii) twenty million Saudi Arabian Riyals (SAR 20,000,000) (or approximately $5.3 million, based on the currency exchange rate as of the date of this Form 6-K) in cash in exchange for modifications to the arrangements relating to the Company’s previously announced joint venture with PIC, which amount is expected to be received by the Company in mid-May 2024. The Company intends to use such cash payments for working capital purposes. In connection with the foregoing, the Company and Oxford agreed to certain modifications to existing agreements between them. Such transaction are described further below.

 

KSA Receivables Transfer Agreement

 

On May 12, 2024, the Company completed an accounts receivable financing transaction (the “PIC AR Financing”) with PIC. The terms of the PIC AR Financing are set forth in the KSA Receivables Transfer Agreement, which became effective as of May 12, 2024 (the “KSA Receivables Transfer Agreement”), and the accompanying Variation Agreement (the “KSA Receivables Variation Agreement,” and together with the KSA Receivables Transfer Agreement, the “Receivables Agreement”) between Centogene GmbH (“Centogene Germany”), the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, and PIC dated as of May 12, 2024.

 

Pursuant to the Receivables Agreement, PIC agreed to purchase rights to certain of Centogene Germany’s accounts receivable in the KSA (each, a “KSA Receivable”) for an aggregate purchase price of $15,000,000 (the “AR Purchase Price”). The AR Purchase Price is payable by PIC in three equal tranches of $5,000,000 (each, a “Tranche Payment”), with the first Tranche Payment having been paid on May 13, 2024 and the remaining two Tranche Payments to be paid on or about May 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024 (or, in each case, such other date agreed upon by the parties), subject to the satisfaction by the Company of certain conditions precedent set forth in the Receivables Agreement.

 

Centogene Germany shall be required to pay PIC an amount equal to the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the affected KSA Receivable if Centogene Germany breaches any representations, warranties or undertakings contained in the Receivables Agreement. Additionally, if the value of any KSA Receivable is subject to a downward adjustment arising from, among other things, Centogene Germany’s failure to perform any agreement underlying such KSA Receivable or any set-off in respect of a claim by any person, then Centogene Germany shall be obligated to pay PIC an amount equal to such dilution in value.

 

The foregoing descriptions are qualified in their entirety by reference to the KSA Receivables Transfer Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein, and the KSA Receivables Variation Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 99.2 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.

The Company has retained a 4% equity position in the JV. The JV was formed by the Company and PIC pursuant to the previously announced joint venture agreement (the “Joint Venture Agreement”) entered into between the Company and PIC on June 26, 2023, as amended by the variation agreement (the “JV Variation Agreement”) between the Company and PIC on October 23, 2023.

 

 

The closing of the transactions contemplated by the Share Purchase Agreement is conditioned on the making of certain customary filings with the KSA Saudi Business Center and the KSA Ministry of Commerce, among other customary conditions. Under the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement, during the 24-month period following the six-month anniversary of the closing date of the share purchase, the Company shall have an option to purchase a number of shares in the JV equal to 16% of the aggregate number of shares outstanding at the time of exercise of such option (the “Call Option Shares”) for a total purchase price (expressed in Saudi Riyals) equal to 20% multiplied by the total share capital of the JV contributed by the Company and PIC as shareholders of the JV. In connection with the Share Purchase Agreement, the Company relinquished its right appoint a manager to the JV’s board of managers and waived certain management rights in the JV held by the Company set forth in the Joint Venture Agreement. The Company has retained its right under the Joint Venture Agreement to appoint a board observer to the board of managers of the JV.

 

The Share Purchase Agreement contains representations and warranties, other covenants, indemnification provisions and other terms and conditions customary for transactions of the type contemplated by the Share Purchase Agreement.

 

The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Share Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 99.3 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.

Pursuant to the Consultancy Variation Agreement, the first operational milestone fee payable to the Company under the Consultancy Agreement was reduced from twenty million Saudi Arabian Riyals (SAR 20,000,000) (or approximately $5.3 million, based on the currency exchange rate as of the date of this Form 6-K) to ten million Saudi Arabian Riyals (SAR 10,000,000) (or approximately $2.6 million, based on the currency exchange rate as of the date of this Form 6-K).

 

Also, on May 12, 2024, the Company and the JV entered into a variation agreement (the “IP License Variation Agreement”) to the Technology Transfer and Intellectual Property License Agreement (the “IP License Agreement”) between the Company and the JV, which was entered into on November 27, 2023 in connection with the formation of the JV.

The Second Loan Amendment also adjusted the conversion price of the First Amount from $2.20 to $0.79 per common share (the “First Conversion”). The Second Amount shall continue to convert at the existing conversion price of $2.20 per common share (the “Second Conversion”). The Second Loan Amendment provides that in no event shall the number of Company common shares issued pursuant to any loan conversion pursuant to the Lifera Loan Agreement result in PIC holding in excess of 49% of the outstanding common shares of the Company, and the conversion price applicable to the Second Amount shall be increased to the extent required to ensure compliance with the foregoing. Following the First Conversion, and subject to PIC maintaining certain equity position thresholds in the Company (the “Nomination Right Condition”), PIC shall have the right to nominate a number of members of the supervisory board of the Company. The number of supervisory board members so nominated by PIC shall be equal to the nearest whole number arrived at by multiplying (x) the percentage of the Company’s outstanding common shares then held by PIC and its permitted transferees by (y) the total number of supervisory board members (including the number of PIC nominees). Following the Second Conversion, PIC may be entitled to nominate additional members of the supervisory board using the same calculation, provide that in no event shall the number of supervisory board members nominated by PIC equal or exceed a majority of the members serving on the supervisory board. The Second Loan Amendment shall become effective upon, among other things, the Company’s receipt of the Share Purchase Consideration under the Share Purchase Agreement.

 

 

The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Second Loan Amendment, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 99.6 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.

On May 12, 2024, the Company and PIC entered into an amendment (the “Registration Rights Amendment”) to the Second Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) dated October 26, 2023. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Amendment, the Company shall not be required to file a registration statement usable for the resale or other transfer of the Company’s common shares to be issued upon conversion of the loan pursuant to the Lifera Loan Agreement until the date that is fifteen (15) days following the receipt of CFIUS Clearance (the “Registration Statement Effectiveness Deadline Date”). Additionally, if at the time of receipt of CFIUS Clearance the Company is not required to file reports under Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, then the Registration Statement Effectiveness Deadline Date shall be fifteen (15) days following the date on which the Company becomes required to file such reports.

 

The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Registration Rights Amendment, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 99.7 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.

On May 12, 2024, the Company and Oxford entered into a success fee agreement (the “Success Fee Agreement”). The Success Fee Agreement provides that, upon a trigger event, the Company shall pay Oxford a fee for each term loan advanced by the lenders under the Loan and Security Agreement, which shall be equal to 2% multiplied by the original principal amount of such term loan. The trigger events under the Success Fee Agreement, include, but are not limited to, the Company’s market capitalization exceeding $125,000,000 for ten (10) consecutive trading days or the Company consummating a change of control transaction or series of related transactions.

Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have meanings assigned to such terms in the Loan Agreement.

 

AS INDUCEMENT FOR LENDERS TO ENTER INTO THE FOURTH AMENDMENT AND FOR OTHER GOOD AND VALUABLE CONSIDERATION, THE RECEIPT OF WHICH IS HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGED, the parties agree as follows:

 

1.

Upon the occurrence of a Trigger Event, Borrower agrees and promises to pay to Collateral Agent, to be shared between Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares, the Success Fee. The Success Fee in respect of the Term Loans advanced by the Lenders prior to a Trigger Event, shall be fully earned and paid concurrently with the occurrence of a Trigger Event; provided, however, in the case of a Trigger Event pursuant to clause (b) of such defined term, Borrower shall pay the Success Fee not later than two (2) Business Days after the reporting deadline of such Trigger Event. The Success Fee in respect of any Term Loans advanced by Lenders after the occurrence of a Trigger Event shall be fully earned and due and payable on the Funding Date of such Term Loans.

 

2.

A “Trigger Event” is the first to occur after the Effective Date of any of the following: (a) if the Market Capitalization for Parent exceeds One Hundred Twenty-Five Million Dollars ($125,000,000.00) for ten (10) consecutive trading days, (b) any transaction or series of related transactions, whether by sale of securities, merger or otherwise, in which any Person acquires, directly or indirectly, beneficially or of record, shares of Parent constituting more than fifty percent (50%) of the aggregate ordinary voting power represented by the issued and outstanding equity interests of Parent, (c) any transaction or series of related, whether by sale of securities, merger or otherwise, in which stockholders (other than Parent) own more than forty-nine percent (49%) of the voting stock of Centogene Germany, (d) a sale or other disposition by Parent (or any corporate successor) or any of its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, of all or substantially all of its assets, (e) the first underwritten public offering of capital stock of Borrower (other than Parent) (or any corporate successor), one of its Subsidiaries or any direct or indirect parent that is an Affiliate of Borrower (other than Parent) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any foreign equivalent, (f) a direct listing on the New York Stock Exchange, the NASDAQ Stock Market or other US or foreign trading market involving the capital stock of Borrower (other than Parent) (or any corporate successor), one of its Subsidiaries or any direct or indirect parent that is an Affiliate of Borrower (other than Parent) without an underwriter pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any foreign equivalent, or (g) any merger, acquisition, contribution, equity purchase or similar reorganization transaction or series of transactions resulting in the combination of Borrower (other than Parent) (or any corporate successor), one of its Subsidiaries or any direct or indirect parent that is an Affiliate of Borrower (other than Parent) with another Person (including, without limitation, any SPAC) where the capital stock of the surviving Person or any direct or indirect parent thereof are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any foreign equivalent. “Market Capitalization” means, as of any date of determination, the product of (a) the number of Parent’s shares of common stock on such date of determination and (b) the closing price of such shares as quoted on www.nasdaq.com (or other exchange where such shares are listed for trading), or if such page is not available, any other commercially available source providing quotations of such closing price as reasonably selected by Parent, on such date of determination. “SPAC” is a company with no commercial operations that is formed for the purpose of raising capital through an initial public offering of its shares to finance the future acquisition of an existing operating company.
