12. LONG-TERM DEBT

 

On October 31, 2014, the Company and its subsidiary, Interpace LLC, entered into an agreement to acquire RedPath (the “Transaction”). In connection with the Transaction, the Company entered into a note payable (the “RedPath Note”) requiring eight equal consecutive quarterly installments beginning October 1, 2016.

 

The obligations of the Company under the RedPath Note were guaranteed by the Company and its subsidiaries pursuant to a Guarantee and Collateral Agreement (the “Subordinated Guarantee”) in favor of the RedPath Equityholder Representative. Pursuant to the Subordinated Guarantee, the Company and its subsidiaries also granted a security interest in substantially all of their assets, including intellectual property, to secure their obligations to the RedPath Equityholder Representative. Based on the Company’s incremental borrowing rate under its Credit Agreement, the fair value of the RedPath Note at the date of issuance was $7.5 million. During the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company accreted zero and approximately $0.2 million in interest expense, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company accreted approximately $0.2 million and $0.6 million into interest expense, respectively. At December 31, 2016, the fair value balance of the $9.3 million RedPath Note was approximately $7.9 million and the unamortized discount was $1.4 million. As of June 30, 2017, the Note was fully converted into the Company’s common stock (see below).

 

Debt Exchange for RedPath Note

 

On December 23, 2016 we repaid $1.33 million in principal of the RedPath Note resulting in an outstanding balance of $9.34 million. The balance of the RedPath Note was subsequently acquired by the Investor, for $8.87 million on March 22, 2017. Also on that date we and the Investor exchanged the RedPath Note for a senior secured convertible note (the “Exchanged Convertible Note”) in the aggregate principal amount of $5.32 million and a senior secured non-convertible note in the aggregate principal amount of $3.55 million. On April 18, 2017, we and the Investor exchanged the senior secured non-convertible note for $3.55 million of our senior secured convertible note (the “Senior Secured Convertible Note”). Between March 23, 2017 and April 18, 2017, the senior secured convertible notes were converted in full for 3,795,429 shares of our common stock. We no longer have any outstanding secured debt, and any security interests and liens related to our former secured debt have been fully released.

 

In connection with the conversion of the Exchanged Convertible Note, the Company recorded a loss of $4.3 million. Maxim Group LLC (“Maxim”) acted as agent in connection with the exchanges into the Exchanged Convertible Note and the Senior Secured Convertible Note. Maxim was paid a cash fee of $0.6 million representing 6.5% of the balance of the $8.85 million exchanged RedPath Note. These costs are directly related to the issuance of the Company’s shares, and as a result are recorded against equity.

 

In connection with the Exchanged Convertible Note and the Senior Secured Convertible Note, the Company determined there to be an embedded conversion option feature. Accordingly, the embedded conversion option contained in the Exchange Convertible Note was accounted for as a derivative liability at the date of issuance, and shall be adjusted to fair value through earnings at each reporting date. The fair value of the embedded conversion option derivative was determined using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model. On the initial measurement date, the fair value of the embedded conversion option derivative of $208,427 was recorded as a derivative liability and was allocated as a debt discount to the Exchanged Convertible Note. At each conversion date, subsequent to the issuance of the Exchanged Convertible Note, the embedded conversion option derivative liability would be revalued, with any changes to its fair value being recorded to earnings. At March 31, 2017, the Company also revalued the embedded conversion option derivative liability resulting in a loss from the change in fair value, and accordingly. In connection with these revaluations, the Company recorded derivative losses of zero and approximately $0.1 million for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017. The value of the derivative liability as of September 30, 2017 was zero. The Company incurred $0.5 million of debt issuance costs, for investment banking, legal and placement fee services in connection with the Exchange Agreement. These costs were treated as a debt discount and amortized to interest expense over the term of the Exchanged Notes. In connection with the conversion of the Senior Secured Convertible Note on April 18, 2017, the Company recorded a loss of $2.3 million.
