OncoCyte amended its loan and security agreement with Silicon Valley Bank pursuant to which Oncocyte obtained a new $3 million secured credit facility, a portion of which was used to repay the remaining balance of approximately $400,000 on outstanding loans from the bank, plus a final payment of $116,000, under the February 21, 2017 loan agreement with the bank.
According to the related 8-K filing, the credit line under the amended loan agreement may be increased by an additional $2 million if OncoCyte obtains at least $20 million of additional equity capital, as was the case with the original loan agreement, and a positive final coverage determination is received from the Centers for Medicate and Medicaid Services for the Razor lung cancer test at a specified minimum price point per test and OncoCyte is not in default under the amended loan agreement.
