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. | Creation
of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant |
On December 21, 2023, the Company entered into the Loan Agreements, the
Note A, and the Note B as described under Item 1.01 above. The description of the Loan Agreements, the Note A, and the Note B under Item
1.01 above is incorporated into this Item 2.03 by reference.
