Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On December 21, 2007, Exelixis, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into Amendment No. 8 (“Amendment No. 8”) to the Loan and Security Agreement, dated May 22, 2002 (as amended, the “Loan Agreement”), between the Company and Silicon Valley Bank (the “Bank”).
Amendment No. 8 provides for a new equipment loan facility in the amount of up to $30,000,000 (“Facility D”). The Company may draw advances under the equipment loan facility beginning December 21, 2007 through December 31, 2009. Each equipment advance under Facility D must be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000. Each advance must be repaid by the Company beginning on the last business day of the month following the date of funding of the advance in 48 equal, monthly installments of principal, plus accrued interest, at an annual rate of 0.75% fixed.
Facility D is secured by the Company’s obligation to maintain at all times, in a non-interest bearing certificate of deposit account with the Bank, a cash balance equal to at least 100% of the outstanding principal balance of the financial obligations the Company owes to the Bank, including the amount of requested credit extensions. The Company also granted a first priority security interest in such deposit account to the Bank.
A copy of Amendment No. 8 is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1. A copy of the Loan and Security Agreement, dated May 22, 2002, was filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2002, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 6, 2002. The description of Amendment No. 8 and the Loan Agreement in this Report do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the complete copy of the Loan Agreement, including all amendments and modifications attached hereto and previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
