Exelixis Further Reduces Indebtedness by Repaying Silicon Valley Bank Term Loan
Exelixis (NASDAQ:EXEL)
Intraday Stock Chart
Today : Wednesday 29 March 2017
Exelixis, Inc. (Nasdaq:EXEL) today announced that it has repaid all amounts outstanding under its term loan with Silicon Valley Bank initiated in 2010 and which was due for repayment on May 31, 2017. The $80.1 million payment included $80.0 million in principal and approximately $60,000 in interest outstanding.
Exelixis also plans to eliminate another source of indebtedness later this year by retiring the Deerfield Notes, a series of Convertible Secured Notes issued to entities associated with Deerfield Management Company, L.P. due July 1, 2018. As was stated during the company’s 2016 year-end financial results conference call on February 27, 2017, Exelixis has designated the Deerfield Notes a Current Liability given its ability and intent to retire them in the July 2017 timeframe, one year ahead of their maturity date. As of December 31, 2016, the carrying balance on the Deerfield Notes was $109.1 million with the total of $124.9 million due at maturity. Retiring the Deerfield Notes one year ahead of their maturity date will provide the company a savings of approximately $12 million in interest expense, net of the termination fee.
With the early retirement of both the Silicon Valley Bank indebtedness and the Deerfield Notes this year, Exelixis will have substantially de-levered its balance sheet.
