| Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On December 22, 2009, Exelixis, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into Amendment No. 9 (“Amendment No. 9”) 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. 9 provides for an extension of the term of an existing equipment loan facility under the Loan Agreement (“Facility D”). Prior to the effectiveness of Amendment No. 9, the Company could only draw advances under Facility D through December 31, 2009. As a result of Amendment No. 9, the Company may now draw advances under Facility D through June 30, 2011. In connection with the extension of the term, the size of the facility was increased to $33,621,220 from $30,000,000. This resulted in an increase in the amount of available funds under Facility D to $15,000,000 as of December 22, 2009, after giving effect to prior advances under Facility D. The Company is required to borrow advances under Facility D in a minimum amount equal to $2.5 million by each of June 30, 2010, December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2011 (each a “Minimum Advance”). In the event the Company does not borrow any Minimum Advance by the applicable required date, the Company is required to pay interest on the difference on the amount borrowed and $2.5 million.”
As of December 22, 2009, total outstanding borrowing under the Loan Agreement was $24.0 million.
The description of Amendment No. 9 and the Loan Agreement in this Report does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete copy of the Loan Agreement previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including all amendments and modifications thereto previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and Amendment No. 9, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Report.
