This Amendment No. 10 is being filed by Foris Ventures, LLC, Vallejo Ventures Trust, L. John Doerr, Ann Doerr, and Barbara Hager (collectively, the “Reporting Persons”).
The Items below amend the information disclosed under the corresponding Items of the Schedule 13D as described below. Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment No. 10 does not modify any of the information previously reported in the Schedule 13D.
ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.
Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is supplemented by the following:
Muirisc Loan Agreement
On August 2, 2023, the Company, certain of the Company’s subsidiaries (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”) and Muirisc, LLC (“Muirisc”), an affiliate of FV, as lender, entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Muirisc Loan Agreement”) to make available to the Company a secured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $20 million (the “Loan Facility”), which was drawn down in full on August 2, 2023.
The Loan Facility matures on October 31, 2024. Loans under the Loan Facility will bear interest at a rate of 12% per annum. Interest is capitalized when due, on the first business day of each calendar quarter beginning with the calendar quarter starting after the advance date of any advance.
The obligations under the Loan Facility are (i) guaranteed by the Subsidiary Guarantors, and (ii) secured by a perfected first lien security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors, in each case subject to certain limitations and exclusions.
Prepayment of the outstanding amounts under the Loan Facility will be required upon the occurrence of a change of control of the Company, as specified in the Muirisc Loan Agreement. In addition, the Company may at its option prepay the outstanding principal amount of the loans under the Loan Facility before the maturity date of such loans without the incurrence of a prepayment fee.
The representations, covenants, and events of default in the Muirisc Loan Agreement are customary for financing transactions of this nature. If any payment under the Loan Facility is not made when due, an amount equal to 3% of the past due amount shall be payable on demand. In addition, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an event of default, all principal, interest and other obligations under the Loan Facility shall bear interest at 12% per annum plus 1%. The Muirisc Loan Agreement includes customary affirmative and negative covenants relating to the operations of the Company and its subsidiaries as well as information and financial covenants and events of default. These include, without limitation, the following: (i) the Company shall provide the Lender (a) on the last business day of each week with a 13-week cash flow forecast for the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors, including consolidated balance sheets, statements of income, and cash flow forecasts, and (b) within 30 days after the end of each calendar quarter, aged listings of accounts receivable and accounts payable; (ii) as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, the Company and its consolidated entities shall have revenue (determined in accordance with GAAP) of not less than $150,000,000 on a trailing 12 month basis; (iii) on the last Business Day of each week, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall have, on a consolidated basis, liquidity calculated as (a) unrestricted, unencumbered cash and cash equivalents denominated in dollars in one or more deposit accounts located in the United States, plus (b) any additional amount of available credit, borrowings, or investments readily convertible to cash to the extent necessary, so that the sum of the amounts described in clauses (a) and (b) is not less than $2,000,000; (iv) commencing on July 17, 2023, and on a weekly basis thereafter, the Company shall, or shall cause its financial advisors to, prepare and deliver to the Lender cash flow projections, in form and methodology as previously provided to the Lender, showing that the Company and the other Subsidiary Guarantors have adequate liquidity to operate their businesses through and including the calendar year ending December 31, 2023; and (v) it will be an
event of default if all or any part of Tranche 3 (as defined in the loan agreement by and between DSM Finance B.V. and the Company) is repaid or prepaid on or before April 15, 2024 other than from proceeds of sale of (a) all of the capital stock of Amyris RealSweet, LLC, or (b) the consummation of any sale of any consumer brands from which, in the case of this clause (b), the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall receive at least $75,000,000 in gross proceeds, which must, in each case, be on terms acceptable to the Lender in its absolute discretion.
General
The Reporting Persons acquired the securities described in this Schedule for investment purposes and they intend to review their investments in the Company on a continuing basis. In addition, the Reporting Persons intend to participate in the management of the Company through representation on the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”). L. John Doerr and Ryan Panchadsaram, a partner at Foris Ventures, serve as members of the Board. Any actions the Reporting Persons might undertake will be dependent upon the Reporting Persons’ review of numerous factors, including, but not limited to: an ongoing evaluation of the Company’s business, financial condition, operations and prospects; price levels of the Company’s securities; general market, industry and economic conditions; the relative attractiveness of alternative business and investment opportunities; and other future developments.
On August 3, 2023, the Company announced that it is continuing a strategic review of all aspects of its cost structure under the direction of its Restructuring Committee of the Company’s board of directors, and in connection therewith, the Company continues to explore a range of strategic alternatives, including in or out of court restructuring of its outstanding debt, additional financing and sales of assets. The Reporting Persons have discussed the Muirisc Loan Agreement with the Company’s management and board of directors in connection with such strategic alternatives, including providing additional financing or otherwise supporting such alternatives, including in or out of court restructuring of the Company’s outstanding debt and sales of the Company’s assets, and intend to continue such discussions. The Reporting Persons may also, at any time and from time to time, acquire additional securities of the Company, or retain or sell all or a portion of the securities then held, in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. In addition, the Reporting Persons may take one or more other actions that relate to or would result in any matter referenced in items (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D, alone or with others, including other shareholders or creditors of the Company or other appropriate parties, although the Reporting Persons may change their purpose or formulate different plans or proposals with respect thereto at any time.
