Amendment to Loan Agreement
On May 11, 2020, the Issuer entered into a Consent and Amendment No. 9 (the “Amendment”) to its Term Loan Agreement, dated as of March 4, 2015, as amended by the Omnibus Amendment Agreement, dated as of April 2, 2015, Amendment 2, dated as of August 6, 2015, Amendment 3, dated as of December 31, 2015, Amendment 4, dated as of April 7, 2016, Amendment 5, dated as of October 12, 2017, Amendment 6, dated as of April 4, 2018, Amendment 7, dated as of November 12, 2018, and Amendment 8, dated as of October 4, 2019, by and among the Issuer, certain of its subsidiaries from time to time party thereto as guarantors and the Funds as lenders (the “Loan Agreement”). The Amendment provides for the Funds’ consent to the transactions contemplated in connection with that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Issuer, Accelmed Partners II LP, a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership (“Buyer”), and Accelmed Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Buyer (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into the Issuer (the “Merger”).
Pursuant to the Amendment and related Trigger Exchange Agreement described below, the Issuer prepaid on the Amendment effective date $694,417.68 in aggregate principal of the loans outstanding under the Loan Agreement by issuing to the Funds an aggregate 11,850,131 shares of Common Stock in exchange for and satisfaction of such partial principal prepayment.
The Amendment also provides for, among others, the following additional amendments to the Loan Agreement to become effective upon the consummation of the Merger, the contribution of $17 million to the Issuer from Buyer and satisfaction of the other conditions set forth in the Amendment (the “Accelmed Closing Date”):
•
The Issuer would make a $5 million partial prepayment of the outstanding loans under the Loan Agreement.
•
During the first two years until approximately two years after the date of the Amendment, the outstanding loans under the amended Loan Agreement would not amortize but would continue to accrue interest (the “Interest Only Period”). Following the Interest Only Period, the loans would amortize in eight equal quarterly payments.
•
The existing interest rate on the loans would be reduced from thirteen percent (13%) per annum to eight percent (8%) per annum, which the Issuer may choose to pay in cash or in kind during the Interest Only Period.
•
The maturity date of the loans under the Loan Agreement would be extended to a four (4) year maturity.
•
The Issuer would be allowed to prepay the loans at any time without any prepayment penalties.
•
The existing minimum revenue covenant would be deleted, together with the related right to cure breaches of such minimum revenue covenant with limited equity contributions.
•
The minimum liquidity covenant would be reduced from $3 million to $1 million.
•
The lenders under the Loan Agreement would continue to be able to designate a board observer during any time that the lenders have not designated a director on the Issuer’s board of directors.
•
The definition of a “change of control” would be amended to take the Issuer’s new ownership into account, so that the lenders and/or Accelmed and their respective affiliates owning more than 50% of the Issuer would not constitute a change of control under the Loan Agreement.
•
A new event of default would be added to the Loan Agreement as follows: if the Issuer or any of its subsidiary guarantors breach in any material respect the Merger Agreement, the Trigger Exchange Agreement or any other material agreement contemplated by the Accelmed Transactions referred to in the Amendment, subject to a thirty day cure period so long as the Issuer is using commercially reasonable efforts to remedy such breach.
On May 12, 2020, the Funds and certain other stockholders of the Issuer executed and delivered to Issuer a written consent (the “Written Consent”) approving the Merger and the Merger Agreement.
The foregoing summary of the Amendment and the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in their entirety by, the full text of the Amendment (including the form of amended Loan Agreement attached thereto) and the Merger Agreement, respectively, attached hereto as Exhibits 1 and 2, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference.
Trigger Exchange Agreement
On May 11, 2020, the Issuer entered into a Trigger Exchange Agreement (the “Trigger Exchange Agreement”) with the Funds. Immediately following the signing of the Merger Agreement, pursuant to the Trigger Exchange Agreement, the Issuer prepaid $694,417.68 in aggregate principal of the loans outstanding under the Loan Agreement by issuing to the Funds an aggregate 11,850,131 shares of Common Stock in exchange for and satisfaction of such partial principal prepayment, at a price per share equal to $0.0586.
The foregoing summary of the Trigger Exchange Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Trigger Exchange Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 3 and incorporated herein by reference.

$TEAR - Huge multi day run and no one posting on the board. Quiet Runner. Would've been great to have caught this a couple days ago. The downside risk is it drops to the 400 SMA @ 0.07 to test support. Looks like possible climax spike today. Has to break 0.22 to head higher. RSI @ 89 signals it's very frothy. EMA 4 is at 0.10, so could pull back into the Bands to test support. As long as it holds the strong push higher should continue. A drop below EMA 4 could lead to a 400 day simple moving average support test.
21 mil traded between 1.85 and 3.11 2 years ago and hardly any volume since.

INTL now up to .12. I wonder if ASCM gets the call today. Great move
TEAR heading to .12c then shes goes nuts...FDA news could come anytime
Ya never know. This was a big board stock not so long ago
INTL on the bid...this is big!!
1 000 000 market cap look out above
TEAR is blowing up...super low floater going here!!
Tiny o/s and float, very minimal dilution in past 2 years, $319K dollar Market Cap, and they have $9.3M in cash alone, not to mention a nice catalyst in potential FDA approval of their MMP-9 Test...does not look bad at all for this price IMO.
As someone on the board here mentioned last time they submitted their 510(k) in 2018...'sky will be the limit'...if they get FDA approval.
Looks good bought some as well !! thanks for the heads up bb !! great dd as usual !!
Grabbed some, looks undervalued. Resubmitted their 510(k) application for FDA clearance of the TearLab Discovery MMP-9 Test a few days ago.....if it gets approval this time, could see a nice pop here with only 12M o/s IMO.

Not to mention the $$$$ spent. Is it just to keep a nice paying job and benefits while planning escape route to new business track, raise funds and string SH along. If legit this is a great buy point.
Very interesting... The big question remains, why go down this path w/ the FDA if you do not have something concrete? At the very least, a massive waste of time and energy. Worst case, a total misrepresentation of the company. Paramount to the worst bluff in history.
This part of the transcript was the most interesting. Were they not knowledgeable on how to submit the findings or just don't have the results.
Could be a great buying opportunity.
We understand the FDA’s position and are encouraged by the clear guidance they have provided. We are working diligently to compile the additional information necessary to achieve a 510(k) clearance,” said Seph Jensen, TearLab’s Chief Executive Officer. “We maintain o ur belief that TearLab Discovery represents a breakthrough technology capable of providing clinically efficient, cost-effective, point-of-care diagnostic tests. We will continue working with the FDA to provide additional data for a new MMP-9 submission and remain committed to securing its 510(k) clearance.”
Is it time to buy or put a fork in it? Why submit something to FDA if you have no real benefit.
This isn't going to help
On October 10, 2018, TearLab Corporation (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) has determined that the TearLab Discovery TM MMP-9 test, has not met the criteria for substantial equivalence based upon data and information submitted by TearLab in its 510(k) submission. A copy of this press release is attached thereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is hereby incorporated by reference herein.
I am watching closely too! I like so far
Yes. Charts suggest this could move up fast.
reversal enroute, just need tad little catalyst
We definitely took out .18 -.19 level. Volume increase, along with macd rsi bullish candlesticks, blew thru the 50ma. Would to see the 200ma .34 get crossed Those of us who bought at .12-135 are loving this. If it goes above .24 watch out.
I love the way the chart looks here with increasing volume. Accumulation before the big breakout.
Starting to turn around might have some extended upside. The deal from the 8k with MiniFab demonstrates confidence in the product imo.
On August 9, 2018, TearLab Corporation (the “Company” or “TearLab”) entered into a manufacturing, supply and development agreement (the “Agreement”) with MiniFAB (Aust) Pty Ltd (“MiniFAB”). Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, MiniFAB will manufacture and supply test cards for the Company’s next generation platform, the TearLab Discovery™ System. The Agreement is exclusive through the first term of 10 years and automatically renews for an additional term of 5 years unless either party cancels. TearLab will pay for 65% of the capital expenditures under the Agreement (“capex”) as incurred and MiniFAB will pay for the remaining 35% of capex, which will be recoverable from TearLab through an amortized cost component in the price for the product charged to TearLab once the monthly card volumes reach 200,000 per month. The capex amounts are limited to an aggregate of $1.0 million AUD for the initial development and production phase (“Phase 1”) and anticipated to be in the vicinity of $3.0 million AUD for further investment of production capacity (“Phase 2”). In addition, TearLab will be responsible for the payment or reimbursement of all non-recurrent expenditure and tooling, limited to $1.2 million AUD for Phase 1 and estimated at $2.0 million AUD for Phase 2.
The foregoing description of the Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the Agreement, the form of which will be attached as an exhibit to the Company’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ending September 30, 2018.
This needs to get past .18 or else it continues to burn thru cash and will rs the shares.
With Cash position of $7.4 million and now new market in Brazilian.. anouth reserve to get approval from FDA. Must survive!

"2018 is an important year for TearLab, as we work to achieve FDA clearance for the TearLab Discovery™ System in the U.S. and execute against our new business model,” said Seph Jensen, TearLab’s Chief Executive Officer. “In the first quarter of 2018, we grew our customer base while significantly reducing operating expenses, which demonstrates the health of our core business.
