Oaktree Note

On August 27, 2020 (the “Closing Date”), Fortress, as borrower, entered into a $60.0 million senior secured credit agreement with Oaktree (the “Oaktree Agreement” and the debt thereunder, the “Oaktree Note”).  The Oaktree Note bears interest at a fixed annual rate of 11.0%, payable quarterly and maturing on the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date, August 27, 2025, (the “Maturity Date”). The Company is required to make quarterly interest-only payments until the Maturity Date, at which point the outstanding principal amount is due. The Company may voluntarily prepay the Oaktree Note at any time subject to a Prepayment Fee, the mechanics of which are set forth therein. The Company is required to make mandatory prepayments of the Oaktree Note under various circumstances set forth in the Oaktree Agreement. No amounts paid or prepaid may be reborrowed without Oaktree consent.

Pursuant to the terms of the Oaktree Agreement on the Closing Date the Company paid Oaktree an upfront commitment fee equal to 3% of the $60.0 million, or $1.8 million.  In addition, the Company paid a $35,000 agency fee to the Oaktree administrative agent entity, which was due on the Closing Date and will be due annually, together with $2.5 million, in fees that were due to third parties involved in the transaction.  

In connection with the Oaktree Note, the Company issued warrants to Oaktree and certain of its affiliates to purchase up to 1,749,450 shares of common stock (see Note 15) with a relative fair value of $4.4 million.

The Company recorded the fees totaling $8.7 million ($1.8 million to Oaktree, $2.5 million of expenses paid to third-parties and $4.4 million representing the relative fair value of the Oaktree Warrants) to debt discount.  These costs are being amortized over the term of the Oaktree Note.

AstraZeneca’s notification of its intent to acquire Caelum, received on September 28, 2021, is defined in the Oaktree Agreement as a monetization event and as such, triggered a $10 million prepayment and an applicable prepayment fee of $0.5 million.  Accordingly, as of September 30, 2021, the prepayment amount and the fee were classified as short-term on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet.  The prepayment fee of $0.5 million was included in interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2021.  The Company paid the $10.5 million on October 12, 2021.
