Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On October 30, 2023 (the “Effective Date”), Sientra, Inc. a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) entered into a Temporary Waiver and Exchange Agreement (the “Temporary Waiver and Exchange Agreement”) under that certain Amended and Restated Facility Agreement, dated as of October 12, 2022 (as so amended and restated, and as the same may be further amended, modified, restated or otherwise supplemented from time to time from time to time, the “Facility Agreement”) by and among the Company as borrower, certain of the Company’s subsidiaries from time to time party thereto as guarantors and Deerfield Partners, L.P., as agent and lender (“Deerfield”). Pursuant to the Facility Agreement, the Company issued and sold to Deerfield on October 12, 2022 an Original Loan Convertible Note, with an outstanding aggregate principal amount of $50 million (the “Note”). In addition, pursuant to the Facility Agreement, Deerfield holds a Disbursement Loan Convertible Note issued by the Company on October 12, 2022, with an aggregate principal amount of $23 million.

 

The Temporary Waiver and Exchange Agreement, among other matters, provides:

 

(i)for a temporary waiver of the event of default that has occurred and is continuing under Section 7.1(b) of the Facility Agreement as a result of the Company’s failure to satisfy the minimum revenue financial covenant for the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2023 (the “Specified Event of Default”) set forth in Section 6.10 of the Facility Agreement until the earliest to occur of (A) the first date following the Effective Date on which an Event of Default (as defined in the Facility Agreement) has occurred, other than the Specified Event of Default, (B) the failure of the Company, or the failure of the Company’s subsidiaries party to the Facility Agreement, to comply with any term, condition or covenant set forth in the Temporary Waiver and Exchange Agreement and (C) January 15, 2024 (the “Waiver Period”);

 

(ii)for the exchange by Deerfield of $1.2 million of principal amount of the Note into a pre-funded warrant (a “Pre-Funded Warrant”) to purchase 886,635 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), based upon 105.75% of the aggregate principal amount of the Note exchanged, plus the amount of accrued and unpaid interest thereon at an exchange rate equal to the Nasdaq official closing price of the Common Stock as of the Effective Date; and

 

(iii)on or before January 15, 2024, Deerfield may (in its sole discretion) elect for the Company to convert up to an additional $18.8 million in aggregate of the principal amount of the Note into one or more Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase additional shares of the Company’s Common Stock, based upon 105.75% of the aggregate principal amount of the Note to be converted, plus the amount of accrued and unpaid interest thereon at an conversion rate equal to the Nasdaq official closing price of the Common Stock as of the Effective Date.

 

The Pre-Funded Warrants have an exercise price of $0.01 per share and are exercisable at any time after issuance until such Pre-Funded Warrants have been fully exercised in accordance with their terms. The Pre-Funded Warrants are subject to a limitation on the ability to exercise if the Deerfield’s beneficial ownership of Common Stock (together with its affiliates and certain attribution parties) would exceed 4.985% of the outstanding Common Stock.

 

In addition, during the Waiver Period, for purposes of determining whether or not certain actions are permitted to be taken by or on behalf of the Company or any other loan party upon the satisfaction of any term, condition or requirement in the Facility Agreement or any other Facility Document (as defined in the Facility Agreement) that a default or event of default shall not have occurred and be continuing, the Specified Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred and be continuing in respect of any such term, condition or requirement, except as set forth in the Temporary Waiver and Exchange Agreement.

Exhibit 4.1

 

PRE-FUNDED WARRANT
TO PURCHASE
SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
OF

SIENTRA, INC.

 

Original Issue Date: [___]

No. [__]

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, Sientra, Inc., a Delaware corporation (together with its successors and assigns, the “Company”), hereby certifies that Deerfield Partners, L.P. or any transferee, assignee or other subsequent holder hereof (the “Holder”) is entitled to subscribe for and purchase, at the Exercise Price per share, the Warrant Share Number of duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”). This Warrant is issued pursuant to that certain [Amended and Restated Convertible Note, originally issued on March 11, 2020, and amended and restated on October 12, 2022 (the “Note”), as modified by that certain]1 Temporary Waiver and Exchange Agreement, dated as of October 30, 2023, between the Company, the other Loan Parties and Deerfield Partners, L.P., in its capacity as Agent for itself as a lender and as lender (as may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, the “Exchange Agreement”). The Common Shares (as defined below) issuable hereunder (the “Warrant Shares”) are entitled to the benefits of the Registration Rights Agreement (as defined below). Capitalized terms used in this Warrant and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings specified in Section 8 hereof or, if not specified in Section 8 hereof, the respective meanings ascribed thereto in the Exchange Agreement or the Facility Agreement, as applicable.

 

1. Term. The right to subscribe for and purchase Warrant Shares represented hereby commences on the Original Issue Date and shall expire at such time as this Warrant shall have been exercised in full (such period being the “Term”).

 

2. Method of Exercise; Payment; Issuance of New Warrant; Transfer and Exchange.

 

(a) Exercise of Warrant. The purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part at any time and from time to time during the Term by delivering to the Company (by electronic mail or otherwise in accordance with Section 11) written notice of such exercise in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (each, an “Exercise Form”) and the applicable Exercise Price, which may be satisfied by a Cash Exercise or a Cashless Exercise (as each is defined below), for each Warrant Share as to which this Warrant is being exercised. The “Exercise Date” in respect of each exercise of this Warrant shall be defined as the date that the Exercise Form in respect of such exercise is delivered to the Company in accordance with the terms hereof. In the event that this Warrant has not been exercised in full as of the last Business Day during the Term, the Holder shall be deemed to have exercised the purchase rights represented by this Warrant in full as a Cashless Exercise as of 4:59 p.m. (New York City time) on such last Business Day (and such last Business Day shall be deemed the Exercise Date for purposes of such exercise).

 

 

1NTD: Bracketed language will be included in Additional Warrants, but not the Exchange Warrant.

 

 

 

 

(b) Cash Exercise. The Holder may pay the Exercise Price in respect of any Warrant Share(s) in cash (a “Cash Exercise”). In the case of a Cash Exercise, within two (2) Trading Days (or, if less, the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period on the Exercise Date) following the Exercise Date as aforesaid, the Holder shall deliver the aggregate Exercise Price for the Warrant Shares specified in the applicable Exercise Form by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank.

 

(c) Net Issue Exercise. In lieu of paying the Exercise Price in respect of any Warrant Share(s) in cash, the Holder, at its option, may exercise this Warrant (in whole or in part) on a cashless basis by making appropriate notation on the applicable Exercise Form, in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder a number of Warrant Shares computed using the following formula (a “Cashless Exercise”):

 

X= Y(A - B)  
   A  

 

Where:

X

= the number of the Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder.
  Y = the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which the Warrant is exercised.
  A = the fair market value of one share of Common Stock on the Exercise Date.
  B = the Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation).

 

For purposes of this Section 2(c), the “fair market value” of one share of Common Stock on the date of determination shall mean:

 

(i) if the Market Price can be calculated in accordance with the definitions of “Market Price” and “Volume Weighted Average Price,” the Market Price per share of Common Stock as of the Exercise Date; and

 

(ii) if the Common Stock cannot be calculated in accordance with the definitions of “Market Price” and “Volume Weighted Average Price,” the fair market value of a share of Common Stock shall be such fair market value as determined in good faith by the Company in reliance on an opinion of a nationally recognized independent investment banking firm retained by the Company for this purpose; provided that the Holder shall have a right to receive from the Company the calculations performed to arrive at such fair market value and a copy of the opinion of such investment banking firm and any report prepared by such investment banking firm and delivered to the Company in connection therewith.

 

The date of determination for purposes of this Section 2(c) shall be the date the Exercise Form is delivered by the Holder to the Company.

 

(d) Issuance of Warrant Shares and New Warrant. In the event of any exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant in accordance with the terms hereof, the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise shall be delivered by the Company, (i) in the case of an exercise at a time when any of the Unrestricted Conditions is met as of the Exercise Date in respect of such Warrant Shares, by causing the Company’s designated transfer agent (“Transfer Agent”) to electronically transmit the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s prime broker with The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian (“DWAC”) system, as specified in the relevant Exercise Form, no later than the later of (x) two (2) Trading Days (or, if less, the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period) after the relevant Exercise Date and, (y) in the case of a Cash Exercise, one (1) Trading Day after the date the applicable aggregate Exercise Price is received by the Company, or (ii) in the case of an exercise at a time when the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise are required to bear a restrictive legend pursuant to Section 2(f)(ii) because none of the Unrestricted Conditions is met in respect thereof, issue and dispatch by overnight courier to the address as specified in the Exercise Form, a certificate, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise, within five (5) Trading Days after the relevant Exercise Date. Upon the exercise of this Warrant or any part hereof, the Company shall, at its own cost and expense, take all necessary action, including obtaining and delivering an opinion of counsel, if applicable, as shall be necessary to enable the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder in accordance with this Section 2(d) the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise. The Company warrants that no instructions other than these instructions have been or will be given to the Transfer Agent in respect of the Warrant Shares and that the Warrant Shares will not contain any legend or be subject to any stop transfer or similar instruction if any of the Unrestricted Conditions is met in respect thereof. Upon the delivery of an Exercise Form in accordance with Section 2(a), the Holder shall be deemed for all purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date such Warrant Shares are credited to the Holder’s or its designee’s DTC account or the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares, as the case may be. The Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company. Execution and delivery of an Exercise Form with respect to a partial exercise shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original Warrant and issuance of a new Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the remaining number of Warrant Shares. The Holder and any assignee of the Holder, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledges and agrees that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the Warrant Share Number (and, therefore, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder) at any given time may be less than the amount stated herein.

 

2

 

 

(e) Transferability of Warrant. Subject to Section 2(f)(iii), this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, by the Holder without charge to the Holder, upon surrender of this Warrant to the Company at its then principal executive offices with a properly completed and duly executed Assignment Form in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B. Within three (3) Trading Days of such surrender and delivery (the “Transfer Delivery Period”), the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees and in the denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant, if any, not so assigned and this Warrant shall promptly thereafter be cancelled. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new Holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares immediately upon such assignment without having a new Warrant issued. The Holder shall pay any Transfer Taxes (as such term is defined in Section 5(b) below) imposed in connection with such transfer or assignment (if any).

 

(f) Restrictive Legend.

 

(i) The Holder understands that until such time as the Warrant Shares have been registered under the Securities Act or otherwise may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 or an exemption from registration under the Securities Act without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, the Warrant Shares may bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order consistent therewith may be placed against transfer of the certificates for such securities) (the “Securities Law Legend”):

 

“THE OFFER AND SALE OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, INCLUDING PURSUANT TO RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO A PRIVATE SALE EFFECTED UNDER SECTION 4(a)(7) OF THE SECURITIES ACT OR APPLICABLE FORMAL OR INFORMAL SEC INTERPRETATION OR GUIDANCE, SUCH AS A SO-CALLED “4[(a)](1) AND A HALF SALE.” NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN OR FINANCING ARRANGEMENT SECURED BY THE SECURITIES.

 

3

 

 

(ii) This Warrant and Warrant Shares (and any certificates or electronic book entries evidencing the Warrant Shares) shall not contain or be subject to (and Holder shall be entitled to removal of) any legend (or stop transfer or similar instruction) restricting the transfer thereof (including the Securities Law Legend): (A) while a registration statement (including a Registration Statement, as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) covering the sale or resale of such securities is effective under the Securities Act, or (B) if the Holder provides customary certifications to the effect that it has sold, or is selling substantially contemporaneously with the delivery of such certifications, such securities pursuant to such a registration statement or Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or (C) if such securities are eligible for sale under Rule 144(b)(1) under the Securities Act as set forth in customary, non-affiliate certifications provided by the Holder, or (D) if at any time on or after the date hereof that the Holder certifies that it is not a Rule 144 Affiliate and that the Holder’s holding period for purposes of Rule 144 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, subsection (d)(3)(ii) thereof) of at least six (6) months, or (E) if such legend is not otherwise required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the SEC) as determined in good faith by counsel to the Company or as set forth in a legal opinion delivered by Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP or other nationally recognized counsel to the Holder (collectively, the “Unrestricted Conditions”). The Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Transfer Agent, promptly after the Original Issue Date, or at such other time as any of the Unrestricted Conditions has been satisfied, if required by the Transfer Agent to effect the issuance of this Warrant or the Warrant Shares, as applicable, without a restrictive legend or removal of the legend hereunder. If any of the Unrestricted Conditions is met at the time of issuance of the Warrant Shares then such Warrant Shares shall be issued free of all legends and stop-transfer instructions. The Company agrees that following the Original Issue Date or at such other time as any of the Unrestricted Conditions is met or such legend is otherwise no longer required under this Section 2(f), it will, no later than the earlier of (x) two (2) Trading Days and (y) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period following the delivery by the Holder to the Company or the Transfer Agent of the Warrant Shares issued with a restrictive legend, deliver or cause to be delivered to the Holder or its designee the Warrant Shares free from all restrictive and other legends (or similar notations) by crediting the account of the Holder’s prime broker with DTC, through its DWAC system. The Company acknowledges and agrees that, if the Holder delivers a certification that it is not an “affiliate” of the Company (as such term is used under Rule 144 under the Securities Act) and has not been an Affiliate for a period of three months, then from and after the delivery thereof, the Holder shall be deemed to have certified that it is not an “affiliate” of the Company (as such term is used under Rule 144 under the Securities Act) upon each delivery of an Exercise Form, unless the Holder otherwise advises the Company in writing. For purposes of Rule 144 under the Securities Act and subsection (d)(3)(ii) thereof, it is intended, understood and acknowledged that (X) this Warrant shall be deemed to have been acquired, and the holding period thereof shall be deemed to have commenced, on March 11, 2020 (i.e., the date of issuance of the Note in respect of which this Warrant was issued), and (Y) the Warrant Shares issuable upon any exercise of this Warrant pursuant to a Cashless Exercise shall be deemed to have been acquired, and the holding period thereof shall be deemed to have commenced, on such date. The Holder, by acceptance hereof, acknowledges and agrees that the removal of any restrictive legends from any securities as set forth in this Section 2(f)(ii) is predicated upon the Company’s reliance that the Holder will sell such securities pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom, and that if such securities are sold pursuant to a registration statement, they will be sold while such registration statement is effective and available for resales of such securities, in compliance with the plan of distribution set forth therein.

 

4

 

 

(iii) The Holder covenants that it will not sell or otherwise transfer any Warrants or Warrant Shares except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or pursuant to an exemption from the registration and prospectus-delivery requirements of the Securities Act.

 

(g) No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional Warrant Shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. If pursuant to an exercise of this Warrant the Holder would be entitled to a fractional Common Share, then either (i) the number of Common Shares issuable upon such exercise shall be rounded up to the next higher whole number of Common Shares or (ii) the Company will pay, in lieu of delivering such fractional share, a cash amount equal to the product of the related fraction and the Volume Weighted Average Price per share of Common Stock on the trading day immediately before the related Exercise Date.

 

(h) Replacement of Warrant. On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, on delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Company or, in the case of mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company shall execute and deliver, in lieu of this Warrant, a new Warrant of like tenor and amount.

 

(i) No Rights of Stockholders. Except as otherwise provided herein, including in Section 4(b), the Holder shall not be entitled to vote or be otherwise deemed the holder of Common Shares or any other securities of the Company that may at any time be issuable on the exercise hereof for any purpose under this Agreement, nor shall anything contained herein be construed to confer upon the Holder, as such, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter submitted to stockholders at any meeting thereof, or to give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether upon any recapitalization, issuance of stock, reclassification of stock, change of par value, or change of stock to no par value, consolidation, merger, conveyance, or otherwise) or to receive notice of meetings.

 

5

 

 

(j) Holder’s Exercise Limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant (or issue any Warrant Shares thereupon), and the Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant or acquire Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(c) or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise as contemplated by the applicable Exercise Form, the number of Common Shares then beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and any other Persons whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the Holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act (including shares held by any “group” of which the Holder is a member, but excluding shares beneficially owned by virtue of the ownership of securities or rights to acquire securities that have limitations on the right to convert, exercise or purchase similar to the limitation set forth herein), would exceed 4.985% of the total number of Common Shares issued (excluding treasury shares) (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”); provided, however, that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation shall only apply to the extent that the Common Stock is deemed to constitute an “equity security” pursuant to Rule 13d-1(i) promulgated under the Exchange Act. For purposes hereof, “group” has the meaning set forth in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and applicable regulations of the SEC, and the percentage beneficially owned by the Holder shall be determined in a manner consistent with the provisions of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. For purposes hereof, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding Common Shares as set forth in the Company’s most recent annual report filed with the SEC, or any report filed by the Company with the SEC subsequent thereto, in each case, unless the Company has confirmed to the Holder the number of Common Shares outstanding as provided in the next sentence (in which case the Holder may rely upon such confirmation); provided, that the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock for such purposes shall be determined after giving effect to the exercise or conversion of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, any other warrants and any convertible notes, by the Holder and its Affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. Upon the written request of the Holder, the Company shall, within two (2) Trading Days, confirm in writing to the Holder the number of Common Shares then outstanding. Each delivery of an Exercise Form by the Holder will constitute a representation by the Holder that it has evaluated the limitation set forth in this paragraph and determined that the issuance of the full number of Common Shares requested in such Exercise Form is permitted under this paragraph.

(k) Cash Damages for Failure to Timely Issue Warrant Shares. If by the first (1st) Trading Day following the expiration of the Delivery Period, the Company shall fail to issue and deliver a certificate to the Holder for, or, if as required by Section 2(d) hereof the Transfer Agent shall fail to credit the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC with, the applicable number of Warrant Shares (in each case, free of any restrictive legend, provided that any Unrestricted Condition is satisfied), then, in addition to all other available remedies that the Holder may pursue hereunder and under the Exchange Agreement or otherwise at law or in equity, the Company shall pay additional damages to the Holder, in cash, for each thirty (30) day period after the Delivery Period such exercise is not timely effected in an amount equal to (prorated for any partial period) one and one-half percent (1.5%) of the product of (I) the number of Warrant Shares not issued and delivered to the Holder (in each case, free of any restrictive legend, provided, that any Unrestricted Condition is satisfied) or its designee prior to the expiration of the Delivery Period and to which the Holder is entitled and (II) the Volume Weighted Average Price of a share of Common Stock on the last day of the Delivery Period. Alternatively, in lieu of foregoing damages but in addition to any other rights or remedies available to the Holder under this Warrant or the Exchange Agreement or otherwise at law or in equity, at the written election of the Holder made in the Holder’s sole discretion, if, on or after the last day of the Delivery Period in respect of such Exercise, the Holder or its brokerage firm purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares that the Holder was entitled to receive upon such exercise (such purchased shares, “Buy-In Shares”), the Company shall (1) be obligated to promptly pay to the Holder (in addition to all other available remedies that the Holder may otherwise have), 105% of the amount by which (A) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for such Buy-In Shares exceeds (B) the net proceeds received by the Holder from the sale of a number of shares equal to up to the number of Warrant Shares such Holder was entitled to receive but had not received on or before the last day of such Delivery Period Date, and (2) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of this Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored (and refund the Exercise Price therefor, to the extent paid by Holder), or deliver to the Holder the number of Common Shares that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. If the Company fails to pay the additional damages set forth in this Section 2(k) within five (5) Trading Days of the date incurred, then the Holder shall have the right at any time, so long as the Company continues to fail to make such payments, to require the Company, upon written notice, to immediately issue, in lieu of such cash damages, the number of Common Shares equal to the quotient of (X) the aggregate amount of the damages payments described herein divided by (Y) the Exercise Price applicable to the exercise of the Warrant to which the additional damages relate. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver the Common Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

(l) Void Exercise Form. If for any reason the Holder has not received all of the Warrant Shares (free of any restrictive legend, provided that any Unrestricted Condition is satisfied) prior to the fifteenth (15th) Business Day after the expiration of the Delivery Period with respect to an exercise of this Warrant in accordance with Section 2(d), then the Holder, upon written notice to the Company by facsimile or electronic mail (a “Void Exercise Notice”), may void its Exercise Form with respect to, and retain or have returned, as the case may be, any portion of this Warrant with respect to which Warrant Shares have not been delivered pursuant to the Holder’s Exercise Form; provided, that the voiding of the Holder’s Exercise Form shall not affect the Company’s obligations to make any payments that have accrued prior to the date of such Void Conversion Notice pursuant to Section 2(k).

3. Certain Representations and Agreements. The Company represents, covenants and agrees:

 

(a) This Warrant is, and any Warrant issued in substitution for or replacement of this Warrant shall be, upon issuance, duly authorized and validly issued.

 

(b) All Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of, or otherwise pursuant to, this Warrant pursuant to the terms hereof shall be, upon issuance, and the Company shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that such Warrant Shares are, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, issued without violation of any preemptive or similar rights of any stockholder of the Company, and free from all taxes, liens and charges. As of the Original Issue Date, the Company has reserved from its authorized and unissued Common Shares, exclusively for issuance upon exercise of this Warrant, and from and after the Original Issue Date the Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Common Shares solely for the purpose of effecting exercises of this Warrant, such number of Common Shares as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the exercise of this Warrant in full for cash (without giving effect to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation); and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued Common Shares shall not be sufficient to effect the exercise of this Warrant in full, the Company will use reasonable best efforts to take such corporate action as may be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued Common Shares to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose, including, without limitation, calling a special meeting of stockholders and/or any other relevant corporate body to amend the Company’s charter increasing the authorized share capital of the sufficiently high to meet the Company’s obligations under this Section 3(b).

 

(c) The Company shall take all such actions as may be necessary to ensure that all Warrant Shares are issued without violation of any applicable law or governmental regulation or any requirements of any securities exchange upon which shares of the Company’s capital stock may be listed at the time of such exercise.

 

(d) The Company will procure, subject to issuance or notice of issuance, the listing of any Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant on the principal stock exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed or traded.

4. Adjustments and Other Rights. The Exercise Price and Warrant Share Number shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows; provided, that no single event shall cause an adjustment or distribution under more than one subsection of this Section 4 so as to result in duplication.

 

(a) Stock Splits, Subdivisions, Reclassifications or Combinations. If the Company shall at any time or from time to time (i) pay or make a dividend or make a distribution on its Common Stock in Common Shares, (ii) split, subdivide or reclassify the outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of shares or (iii) combine or reclassify the outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of shares, the Warrant Share Number at the time of the record date for such dividend or distribution or the effective date of such split, subdivision, combination or reclassification shall be proportionately adjusted so that the Holder immediately after such record date or effective date, as the case may be, shall be entitled to purchase the number of Common Shares which such Holder would have owned or been entitled to receive in respect of the Common Shares subject to this Warrant after such date had such Holder held a number of Common Shares equal to the Warrant Share Number immediately prior to such record date or effective date, as the case may be. In the event of such adjustment, the Exercise Price in effect at the time of the record date for such dividend or distribution or the effective date of such split, subdivision, combination or reclassification shall be immediately adjusted to the number obtained by dividing (x) the product of (1) the Warrant Share Number before the adjustment determined pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence and (2) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the record or effective date, as the case may be, for the dividend, distribution, split, subdivision, combination or reclassification giving rise to such adjustment by (y) the new Warrant Share Number determined pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.

 

(b) Distributions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Section 2(i)), the Holder, as the holder of this Warrant, shall be entitled to receive, and shall be paid by the Company, any dividend paid or distribution of any kind made to the holders of Common Stock, other than a dividend or distribution resulting in an adjustment pursuant to Section 4(a), to the same extent as if the Holder had exercised this Warrant in full in a Cash Exercise (without regard to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation or any other limitations on exercise herein or elsewhere and without regard to whether or not a sufficient number of shares are authorized, reserved and available to effect any such exercise and issuance) and had held such Warrant Shares on the record date for such dividend or distribution (or, if there is no record date therefor, on the date of such dividend or distribution). Payments or distributions under this Section 4(b) shall be made concurrently with the dividend or distribution to holders of the Common Stock. For the avoidance of doubt, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any options, convertible securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of its capital stock (the “Purchase Rights”), and such grant, issuance or sale does not result in a dividend or distribution resulting in an adjustment pursuant to Section 4(a), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights that the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon exercise in full of this Warrant (without regard to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation or any other limitations on exercise herein or elsewhere and without regard to whether or not a sufficient number of shares are authorized, reserved and available to effect any such exercise and issuance) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.

(c) Organic Change.

 

(i) If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding an Organic Change is consummated or otherwise occurs, then, upon exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall be entitled to receive in lieu of (or in addition to, as the case may be) the Warrant Shares, the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property of the Company or the Successor Entity, as the case may be, resulting from such Organic Change, which a Holder of the Warrant Share Number (at the time of such Organic Change and, for the avoidance of doubt, without regard to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation or any other restriction or limitation on exercise) of Warrant Shares would have been entitled to receive upon consummation of such Organic Change if such Warrant Shares had been outstanding immediately prior to such Organic Change; and in any such case, if applicable, the provisions set forth herein with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Holder shall be appropriately adjusted (pursuant to a written agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Required Holders) so as to be applicable, as nearly as may reasonably be, to the Holder’s right to exercise this Warrant in exchange for any shares of stock or other securities or property pursuant to this paragraph. If holders of Common Shares are given any choice as to the kind and/or amount of stock and/or other securities or property (including cash) to be received in an Organic Change, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Organic Change.

 

(ii) The Company shall cause any acquiring, surviving or successor entity in an Organic Change in which the Company does not survive as the parent entity (the “Successor Entity”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the Registration Rights Agreement in accordance with the provisions hereof and thereof pursuant to written agreements in form and substance approved by the Required Holders (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), including agreements to deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant. Upon the occurrence of any such Organic Change in which there is a Successor Entity, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Organic Change, the provisions of this Warrant referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the Registration Rights Agreement with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein and therein.

 

(d) Other Events. If any event of the type contemplated by the provisions of Section 4(a), 4(b), or 4(c) or any other provision hereof that provides for an adjustment of Exercise Price, the Warrant Share Number, or the number and class of shares of capital stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, but not expressly provided for by any such provision occurs, then the Company shall make an appropriate adjustment in the Exercise Price, the Warrant Share Number and/or number and class of shares of capital stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant so as to protect the rights of the Holder in a manner consistent with such provisions; provided, that no such adjustment shall increase the Exercise Price or decrease the Warrant Share Number except as otherwise determined pursuant to the express provisions of Section 4(a).

 

10

 

 

(e) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 4 shall be made to the nearest one-hundredth (1/100th) of a cent or to the nearest one-tenth (l/10th) of a share, as the case may be.

 

(f) Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the Exercise Price or the Warrant Share Number shall be adjusted as provided in this Section 4, the Company shall as promptly as practicable prepare and make available to the Holder a statement showing in reasonable detail the facts requiring such adjustment and the Exercise Price and Warrant Share Number that shall be in effect after such adjustment.

 

(g) Adjustment Rules. Any adjustments pursuant to this Section 4 shall be made successively whenever an event referred to herein shall occur. If an adjustment in Exercise Price made hereunder would reduce the Exercise Price to an amount below par value of the Common Stock, then such adjustment in Exercise Price made hereunder shall reduce the Exercise Price to the par value of the Common Stock.

 

(h) Proceedings Prior to any Action Requiring Adjustment. As a condition precedent to the taking of any action which would require an adjustment pursuant to this Section 4, the Company shall take such actions as are necessary, which may include obtaining regulatory, stock exchange or stockholder approvals or exemptions, in order that the Company may thereafter validly and legally issue as fully paid and nonassessable Common Shares (and any other securities, if applicable) that the Holder is entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant pursuant to this Section 4.

 

5. Taxes; HSR.

 

(a) Taxes. The Company shall be responsible for paying all present or future stamp, court or documentary, intangible, recording, filing or similar taxes that arise from the issuance of this Warrant and any payment or issuance made under, from the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or otherwise with respect to, this Warrant, including upon the issuance of Warrant Shares or other securities issued upon the exercise hereof.

 

(b) HSR Submissions.  If the Holder determines in good faith that the exercise of this Warrant is subject to notification under the Hart-Scott Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and the related rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (collectively, the “HSR Act”), each of the Company and the Holder agrees to (i) cooperate with the other party in the other party’s preparing and making such submission and any responses to inquiries of the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) and/or Department of Justice (“DOJ”); and (ii) prepare and make any submission required to be filed by the Company or the Holder, as applicable, under the HSR Act and respond to inquiries of the FTC and DOJ in connection therewith. The Company shall pay, or reimburse the Holder for, the costs of any required filing fees for any submissions under the HSR Act. Where the Holder notifies the Company that, pursuant to this section, the Holder has determined that an HSR filing is required, the Company shall not issue Warrant Shares until the expiration or early termination of the applicable waiting period under the HSR Act.

6. Dispute Resolution. In the case of a dispute between the Company and the Holder as to the determination of the Exercise Price, Market Price or Volume Weighted Average Price, the Company shall issue, or instruct the Transfer Agent to issue, as applicable, to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares that is not disputed and shall transmit an explanation of the disputed determinations or arithmetic calculations to the Holder via email within two (2) Business Days of receipt or deemed receipt of the Holder’s Exercise Form or other date of determination. If the Holder and the Company are unable to agree upon the determination of the Exercise Price, Market Price or Volume Weighted Average Price within one (1) Business Day of such disputed determination or arithmetic calculation being transmitted to the Holder, then the Company shall promptly (and in any event within two (2) Business Days) submit via email (A) the disputed determination of the Exercise Price, Market Price or Volume Weighted Average Price, as applicable, to an independent, reputable investment banking firm selected by the Company and subject to the approval of the Required Holders (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), or (B) in the case of a dispute as to the arithmetic calculation of the Exercise Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Volume Weighted Average Price, to an independent registered public accounting firm selected by the Company and, if not the Company’s auditors, subject to the approval of the Required Holders, as the case may be. The Company shall direct the investment bank or the accounting firm, as the case may be, to perform the determinations or calculations and notify the Company and the Holder of the results no later than two (2) Business Days from the time it receives the disputed determinations or calculations. Such investment bank’s or accounting firm’s determination or calculation, as the case may be, shall be binding upon all parties absent manifest error. Neither the Holder nor the Company shall have the right to dispute any determination pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6 unless such party notifies the other party of such dispute in writing no later than two (2) Business Days after the other party notifies the Holder or the Company, as applicable, in writing of such determination.

 

7. Frustration of Purpose. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of its certificate of incorporation, bylaws or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, and will at all times in good faith carry out all the provisions of this Warrant and take all action as may be required to protect the rights of the Holder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) shall not increase the par value of any Common Shares receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the Exercise Price then in effect, (ii) shall not issue any preferred stock (or other capital stock) that contains, or provides any holder thereof with, any redemption rights or obligations (or similar features) or any liquidation preference (other than on an as-converted to Common Stock basis or a de minimis preference necessary to comply with the Delaware General Corporation Law), is convertible into Common Stock at a rate that “floats” or varies based upon the trading price of the Common Stock or otherwise contains rights or other terms in priority to the rights and terms of the Common Stock, and (iii) shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Common Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant. Nothing in this Section 7 shall be deemed to limit or otherwise affect the Company’s ability to issue or sell Common Stock.

13. Modification and Severability. The provisions of this Warrant will be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof. To the fullest extent permitted by law, if any provision of this Warrant, or the application thereof to any Person or circumstance, is invalid or unenforceable, (a) a suitable and equitable provision will be substituted therefor in order to carry out, so far as may be valid and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid or unenforceable provision, and (b) the remainder of this Warrant and the application of such provision to other Persons, entities or circumstances will not be affected by such invalidity or unenforceability.

Without derogating from the immediately previous sentence, in the event that the Company believes that any notice delivered to the Holder contains material nonpublic information relating to the Company, the Company shall so indicate to the Holder prior to the delivery of such notice, and such indication shall provide the Holder the means to refuse to receive such notice; and in the absence of any such indication, the Holder shall be allowed to presume that all matters relating to such notice do not constitute material nonpublic information relating to the Company. The provisions of this Section 14 are in addition to, and shall in no way limit, the provisions of Section 5.18 of the Facility Agreement.

 

15. Interpretation.

TEMPORARY WAIVER AND EXCHANGE AGREEMENT

 

This TEMPORARY WAIVER AND EXCHANGE AGREEMENT (including the schedules, annexes and exhibits hereto, this “Agreement”), dated as of October 30, 2023 (the “Effective Date”), is by and among Sientra, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower” or the “Company” as applicable), the other Loan Parties (as defined in the Facility Agreement (as defined below)) signatory hereto, and Deerfield Partners, L.P., in its capacity as Agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, the “Agent”) and as a lender (the “Lender”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the respective meanings given to them in the Facility Agreement.

 

RECITALS:

 

A. The Borrower, the other Loan Parties signatory hereto and the Lender are parties to that certain Amended and Restated Facility Agreement, dated as of October 12, 2022 (as so amended and restated, and as the same may be further amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Facility Agreement”).

 

B. The Lender holds an Original Loan Convertible Note issued by the Borrower to the Lender on October 12, 2022 in the initial principal amount of $50,000,000 (including any Original Loan Convertible Note issued in exchange, transfer or replacement thereof, and as the same has been or may hereafter be amended, modified, restated or otherwise supplemented from time to time, the “Note”). As of the date hereof, the outstanding Principal (as used herein, as defined in the Note) of the Note is $50,000,000. In addition, the Lender holds a Disbursement Loan Convertible Note issued by the Borrower to the Lender on October 12, 2022 in the initial principal amount of $23,000,000. As of the date hereof, the outstanding principal amount of such Disbursement Loan Convertible Note is $23,000,000.

 

C. Certain Defaults and Events of Default have (or, in the case of clause (ii) of this paragraph, may have) occurred and are continuing (i) under Section 7.1(b) of the Facility Agreement as a result of the Borrower’s failure to satisfy the minimum revenue financial covenant set forth in Section 6.10 of the Facility Agreement for the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2023, resulting in an Event of Default under Section 7.1(b) of the Facility Agreement (the “Specified Event of Default”) and (ii) under Section 7.1(c) of the Facility Agreement (or otherwise) as a result of any representation or warranty made or deemed made prior to the Effective Date by any Loan Party in the Facility Agreement, any other Facility Document or any document required to be delivered in connection with any Facility Document, being incorrect, false or misleading in any material respect (except to the extent that such representation or warranty is qualified by reference to materiality or Material Adverse Effect, to which extent it shall have been incorrect, false or misleading in any respect) as of the date it was made or deemed made solely due to the existence of (x) the Specified Event of Default (prior to the Effective Date) or (y) any action taken that was prohibited at the time taken solely due to the existence of the Specified Event of Default(together with the Specified Event of Default, the “Existing Events of Default”). For the avoidance of doubt, no Event of Default resulting from any action taken (or omitted to be taken) on or after the Effective Date shall constitute an Existing Event of Default.

 

 

 

 

D. The Borrower has requested that the Lender, being the sole “Lender” within the meaning of the Facility Agreement and constituting the Required Lenders, temporarily waive the Existing Events of Default and, upon the terms and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth in this Agreement (including the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 6.01 of this Agreement), and in reliance on the agreements and covenants set forth herein, the Lender is willing to temporarily waive the Existing Events of Default for the period of time determined in accordance with this Agreement.

 

E. The Borrower and the Lender have also agreed (i) to exchange, in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and otherwise upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, $1,220,000 of Principal (the “Exchanged Principal Amount”), together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon and an amount (the “Premium Amount”) equal to five hundred and seventy-five basis points (5.75%) of the Exchanged Principal Amount (which is less than the Make Whole Amount that would be payable in respect of a prepayment or redemption of the Exchanged Principal Amount), for a pre-funded warrant to purchase 886,635 shares of Common Stock in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (a “Pre-Funded Warrant”); and (ii) to provide for the subsequent conversion, at the election of the Holder (as defined in the Note), of up to $18,800,000 of Principal (or any portion thereof), into Pre-Funded Warrants at any time and from time to time prior to January 15, 2024. For the avoidance of doubt, neither the Disbursement Loan Convertible Note nor any Obligations thereunder are being exchanged or modified in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

 

Article I.

exchange; CERTAIN CONVERSIONS

 

Section 1.01. Exchange. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, effective as of the Effective Time (as defined below), the Lender and the Borrower hereby agree to exchange the Exchanged Principal Amount of the Note, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon and the Premium Amount, for the issuance and delivery by the Borrower to the Lender of a Pre-Funded Warrant to purchase 886,635 shares of Common Stock (the “Exchange Warrant”). The exchange contemplated by this Section 1.01 is referred to herein as the “Exchange.”

 

Section 1.02. Exchange Settlement.

 

(a) Subject to the satisfaction (or waiver) of all of the conditions to the Exchange set forth in Section 6.01, the Exchange shall be consummated and become effective upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement (the time of such effectiveness, the “Effective Time”).

 

2

 

 

(b) Upon the Effective Time, the Lender shall be deemed for all purposes to have become the legal, beneficial and record holder of the Exchange Warrant and, upon the issuance to the Lender of the Exchange Warrant, the Principal under the Note shall be deemed to have been reduced by the Exchanged Principal Amount.

 

(c) If requested by the Lender, promptly following such request, the Borrower shall deliver to the Lender in replacement of the Note an Original Loan Convertible Note in a principal amount that gives effect to the Exchange. As promptly as reasonably practicable thereafter, the Lender shall deliver the Note for cancellation. For the avoidance of doubt, the Exchange shall not be conditioned upon, or be subject to, the delivery of any such Original Loan Convertible Note by the Borrower or delivery of the existing Note by the Lender.

 

Section 1.03. Conversion Terms.

 

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Note, upon each conversion of the Note, or any portion thereof, pursuant to a Conversion Notice (as defined in the Note) delivered by any holder of the Note (a “Holder”) during the Modified Conversion Period (as defined below):

 

(i) the “Conversion Amount” (within the meaning of the Note) shall be 105.75% of the Principal to be converted, plus the amount of accrued and unpaid interest on such Principal (the “Converted Interest Amount”), and the “Conversion Price” (within the meaning of the Note) shall be $1.46 per share of Common Stock, subject to adjustment as provided herein and subject to appropriate adjustment to reflect any subdivision of outstanding Common Stock (by any stock split, share or stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) or combination of outstanding Common Stock (by consolidation, combination, reverse stock split or otherwise), repayment or reduction of capital or other event giving rise to an adjustment of the nominal amount of such Common Stock hereafter; and

 

(ii) in lieu of delivering Conversion Shares and paying the Converted Interest Amount in cash, the Borrower shall, promptly and in any event within one (1) Trading Day following delivery of such Conversion Notice, execute and deliver to such Holder a Pre-Funded Warrant exercisable for the number of Conversion Shares otherwise issuable upon such conversion (after giving effect to the provisions of Section 1.03(a), and disregarding for such purpose the Beneficial Ownership Cap (as defined in the Note)) (each such Pre-Funded Warrant, an “Additional Warrant”).

 

(b) In connection with any Conversion Notice delivered during the Modified Conversion Period, each Additional Warrant shall be deemed to have been issued, and the Person entitled to receive such Additional Warrant shall be treated for all purposes as the legal and record holder of such Additional Warrant upon delivery of the Conversion Notice via facsimile, electronic mail or otherwise in accordance with the terms of the Note. Without limiting the foregoing, (i) the Person entitled to receive each Additional Warrant shall have the right to exercise such Additional Warrant, and to deliver an Exercise Form in substantially the form attached to the form of Pre-Funded Warrant, immediately following its delivery of such Conversion Notice (and in the case of contemporaneous delivery of a Conversion Notice and Exercise Form, the Exercise Form shall be deemed to have been delivered immediately following delivery of the Conversion Notice), and (ii) an Exercise Form delivered in respect of an Additional Warrant shall be effective and, in accordance with the terms of the Pre-Funded Warrant, upon the delivery of an Exercise Form, the Holder shall be deemed for all purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares (as defined in the Pre-Funded Warrant) with respect to which such Additional Warrant is being exercised, in each case, regardless of whether or when such Additional Warrant is executed or delivered (or required to be executed or delivered) to such Holder.

 

3

 

 

(c) For purposes hereof, the term “Modified Conversion Period” means the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending upon the earlier to occur of (i) 11:59 p.m. (New York time) on January 15, 2024 and (ii) such time as the aggregate principal amount of the Note converted in accordance with this Section 1.03 equals $18,800,000.

 

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained herein shall be deemed to affect any other rights of a Holder under the Note, including, but not limited to, the right to receive Additional Conversion Shares (as defined in the Note) upon a conversion of the Note in connection with a Major Transaction (as used herein, as defined in the Note) and any other rights of a Holder in respect of a Major Transaction.

 

Section 1.04. Intended Tax Treatment. The parties hereto agree that for federal (and applicable state and local) income tax purposes, it is intended that (a) the Exchange and the modifications to the Note pursuant to Section 1.03, respectively, be treated as made pursuant to a recapitalization within the meaning of section 368(a)(1)(E) of the Code (and any similar provision of state or local law), and (b) each Pre-Funded Warrant be treated as exercised upon issuance (the foregoing, the “Intended Tax Treatment”). The parties hereto agree to (and agree to cause their Affiliates to) file their income tax returns consistent with the Intended Tax Treatment (including by adopting a plan of reorganization and making filings under Treasury Regulations section 1.368–3 that are required to support such treatment, as applicable), except as otherwise required by applicable law.

 

Article II.

TEMPORARY waiver

 

Section 2.01. Temporary Waiver.

 

(a) Subject to the satisfaction (or waiver in writing by the Agent) of, and effective upon the conditions set forth in, Section 6.01 (the date upon which such conditions are satisfied (or waived in writing by the Agent), the “Waiver Effective Date”), the Lender (in its capacities as Agent and the sole lender under the Facility Agreement) hereby temporarily waives the Existing Events of Default solely during the Waiver Period. The “Waiver Period” means the period beginning on the Waiver Effective Date and ending on the earlier to occur of (i) January 15, 2024, (ii) any date prior to January 15, 2024 on which any Event of Default (other than the Existing Events of Default) occurs and (iii) the failure of any Loan Party to comply with any term, condition or covenant set forth in this Agreement (such earlier date, the “Waiver Termination Date”). The waiver contained in this Section 2.01(a) is a limited and temporary waiver and (i) shall only be relied upon and used for the specific purpose set forth herein, (ii) shall not constitute nor be deemed to constitute a waiver, or alter or impair the obligations or any of the rights or remedies of the Lender (in its capacities as Agent and lender and in any other capacity) under the Facility Documents at law or in equity, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, of (A) any Default or Event of Default (other than the Existing Events of Default during the Waiver Period) or (B) any term or condition of the Facility Agreement and the other Facility Documents, (iii) shall not constitute nor be deemed to constitute a consent by the Lender to anything other than the specific purpose set forth herein and (iv) shall not constitute a custom or course of dealing among the parties hereto. Without limiting the foregoing, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that immediately following the Waiver Termination Date, none of the Existing Events of Default shall be subject to the waiver contained herein and the Lender (in its capacities as Agent and a lender) shall be entitled to exercise all of its rights and remedies with respect thereto in accordance with the Facility Documents.

 

4

 

 

(b) Notwithstanding the temporary limited waiver set forth in Section 2.01(a) above or anything to the contrary contained herein, in the Facility Agreement or in the other Facility Documents, each of the Borrower and each other Loan Party hereby acknowledges and agrees that, for purposes of determining whether or not certain actions are permitted to be taken by or on behalf of the Borrower or any other Loan Party upon the satisfaction of any term, condition or requirement in the Facility Agreement or any other Facility Document that a Default or Event of Default shall not have occurred and be continuing, the Existing Events of Default shall be deemed to have occurred and be continuing in respect of any such term, condition or requirement, and the Borrower and the other Loan Parties shall not be permitted to take, or cause to be taken, any such action, other than with respect to actions taken under Section 6.5 of the Facility Agreement for which the Existing Events of Default shall not be taken into consideration in determining if such action is permitted thereunder. Accordingly, any actions taken, or caused to be taken by the Borrower or any other Loan Party in violation of this Section 2.01(b) shall automatically constitute additional Events of Default under the Facility Agreement.

 

Article III.

(e) Exemption. As of the Effective Time, the Lender shall have held the Note of record and beneficially for a period of at least one (1) year for purposes of Rule 144 under the Securities Act and is not, and during the three-month period prior to the date hereof has not been, an “affiliate” (as such term is used in Rule 144 under the Securities Act) of the Borrower.

(g) Accredited Investor. The Lender is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act. The Lender understands the economic risk of its investment in the Securities, and has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Securities.

The Lender acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Lender has had the opportunity to review the Borrower’s SEC Reports (as defined below) and this Agreement (including the exhibits hereto), (ii) the Lender has had an opportunity to submit questions to the Borrower concerning the Borrower, its business, operations, financial performance, financial condition and prospects, and the terms and conditions of the Exchange and has all information that it considers necessary in making an informed investment decision, (iii) the Lender has had the opportunity to consult with its accounting, tax, financial and legal advisors to be able to evaluate the risks involved in the Exchange and to make an informed investment decision with respect to the Exchange. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, neither any such review nor any due diligence investigation conducted by the Lender or its advisors, if any, or its representatives shall modify, amend or otherwise affect the Lender’s right to rely on the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Borrower contained in, or otherwise affect the rights and remedies available to the Lender under, this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

 

Section 3.02. Representations and Warranties of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties. The Borrower and each other Loan Party, jointly and severally, hereby represent and warrant to the Lender as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Effective Time as follows:

 

(a) Organization and Good Standing. Each Loan Party (i) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization, as applicable and (ii) has all powers to (A) own its assets and has powers and all Permits necessary in the operation of its business as presently conducted or as proposed to be conducted, except where the failure to have such Permits could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(b) Authority. Each Loan Party has all powers to enter into, execute, deliver and perform its obligations under, this Agreement, the Exchange Warrant, any Additional Warrant(s), the Facility Agreement, each other Facility Document and each other document or instrument delivered by it in connection with any of the foregoing, whether or not specifically mentioned herein or therein, in each case, as amended from time to time in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof (collectively, the “Transaction Documents” and each a “Transaction Document”) and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution and delivery by the Borrower and each other Loan Party signatory thereto of this Agreement, the Exchange Warrant, any Additional Warrants and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Borrower and such Loan Party, and no further action of the Borrower or such Loan Party, its board of directors, managers, members or stockholders, as applicable, is required in connection herewith or therewith.

 

7

 

 

(c) Consents. Neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party is required to obtain any consent from, authorization or order of, or make any filing or registration with any governmental authority or any regulatory or self-regulatory agency or any other Person in order for it to execute, deliver or perform any of its respective obligations under or contemplated by this Agreement, the Exchange Warrant, any Additional Warrants, the Facility Agreement and other Transaction Documents (in each case, to the extent such Loan Party is a signatory thereto), in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof, other than filing the Announcing 8-K Filing (as defined below). None of the Securities will be issued in violation of, any preemptive or similar rights of any Person, or otherwise subject to any preemptive or similar rights of any Person that have not been validly waived, nor will the issuance of any of the Securities trigger any “anti-dilution” or similar adjustment. No vote or approval of the Company’s stockholders is required in connection with this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or the Exchange, including, for the avoidance of doubt, the issuance of the Securities, under the Organizational Documents of the Borrower, the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended, the rules and regulations of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC or otherwise.

 

(d) Binding Effect. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Borrower and the other Loan Parties, and constitutes, and upon the execution and delivery each Loan Party signatory thereto of, the Exchange Warrant, any Additional Warrants, the Facility Agreement and each other Transaction Document being executed or amended in connection herewith or therewith will constitute, a valid and binding agreement or instrument of such Loan Party, enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with its respective terms, except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar laws relating to the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles.

 

(e) Non-Contravention. The execution, delivery and performance by each Loan Party of this Agreement, the Exchange Warrant, any Additional Warrants, the Facility Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which it is party, do not and will not (with or without notice, the passage of time or both) (i) violate, conflict with or cause a breach or a default under (A) any Law applicable to any Loan Party, (B) any of the Organizational Documents of any Loan Party, or (C) any agreement or instrument binding upon it, except for such violations, conflicts, breaches or defaults which, with respect to this clause (C), would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any part of the properties or assets of the Borrower or any other Loan Party.

 

(f) Issuance of Exercise Shares. The Initial Exercise Shares issuable upon exercise of the Exchange Warrant, and the Additional Exercise Shares issuable upon exercise of any Additional Warrants, are duly authorized, and when issued in accordance with the Exchange Warrant or Additional Warrants, as applicable, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free and clear of all Liens imposed by the Borrower, and will not be issued in violation of, or subject to, any preemptive or similar rights of any person. The Borrower has reserved from its duly authorized capital stock a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock for issuance hereafter upon exercise of the Exchange Warrant and any Additional Warrants (plus any additional shares of Common Stock that may be issuable as a result of the anti-dilution provisions of the Exchange Warrant or any Additional Warrants), in each case, free and clear of preemptive or similar rights. As of the date hereof, the authorized shares of capital stock of the Borrower consists of 200,000,000 shares of Common Stock, of which 11,264,850 shares are issued and outstanding as of August 8, 2023, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, none of which are issued and outstanding.

 

(g) Brokers. No broker, finder or other intermediary has brought about the obtaining, making or closing of the transactions contemplated by this agreement or any other Transaction Document, and no Loan Party has or will have any obligation to any Person in respect of any finder’s or brokerage fees, commissions or other expenses in connection herewith.

 

8

 

 

(h) SEC Reports. The Borrower has filed all reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, including pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) thereof, for the two years preceding the date hereof (the foregoing materials, including the exhibits thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein, being collectively referred to herein as the “SEC Reports”). None of the SEC Reports, when filed, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact (and the Registration Statement, when filed, did not and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact and did not and will not omit to state a material fact) required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The consolidated financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Reports comply in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission” or “SEC” as applicable) with respect thereto as in effect at the time of filing and fairly present in all material respects the financial position of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of and for the dates thereof and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended, subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal, year-end audit adjustments, and such consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved (“GAAP”) (except as may be disclosed therein or in the notes thereto, and except that the unaudited financial statements may not contain all footnotes required by GAAP).

 

(i) Exemption from Registration; Nasdaq. No registration under the Securities Act or any state securities laws is or will be required for the offer and issuance of the Exchange Warrant by the Borrower to the Lender as contemplated hereby or for the offer and issuance of the Initial Exercise Shares or any Additional Exercise Shares by the Borrower to the Lender as contemplated hereby and by the Exchange Warrant and the Additional Warrants. The transactions contemplated hereby or entered into in connection herewith, including the issuance of the Exchange Warrant and any Additional Warrants hereunder and the issuance and sale of the Initial Exercise Shares and Additional Exercise Shares pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Warrant and any Additional Warrants do not and will not contravene, or require stockholder approval under the rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market, any securities exchange or otherwise. The Company acknowledges and agrees that, for purposes of Rule 144 under the Securities Act, the Lender’s holding period for the Exchange Warrant and any Additional Warrants shall be deemed to have commenced on the date the Lender acquired the Note. Assuming the Lender is not as of the date of issuance, and for a period of three (3) months prior to the date of issuance has not been, an “affiliate” (as such term is used in Rule 144 under the Securities Act) of the Borrower (which the Borrower shall assume (and the Lender shall be deemed to represent) unless the Lender has otherwise advised the Borrower in writing) and in reliance on the Lender’s representations contained in Section 3.01(e) hereof, the Exchange Warrant, any Additional Warrant and, in the case of a cashless exercise of the Exchange Warrant or any Additional Warrant, the Initial Exercise Shares and the Additional Exercise Shares, will be freely tradeable by the Lender without restriction or limitation (including volume limitation), pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, and will not contain or be subject to any legend or stop transfer instructions restricting the sale or transferability thereof. The Borrower is not, and never has been, a “shell company” (as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act) and is not an issuer of a type identified in, or subject to, Rule 144(i)(1) under the Securities Act. The Borrower has submitted to The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC a Listing of Additional Shares Notification Form with respect to the Initial Exercise Shares and the Additional Exercise Shares and The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC has not objected to the issuance of the Initial Exercise Shares and the Additional Exercise Shares.

(j) No Integrated Offering. Neither the Borrower, nor any of its affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf has, directly or indirectly, made, or will make, any offers or sales of any security or solicited, or will solicit, any offers to buy any security, under circumstances that would cause the offering and issuance of the Securities to be integrated with prior or contemporaneous offerings by the Borrower (i) for purposes of the Securities Act and which would require the registration of any such Securities under the Securities Act or (ii) for purposes of any applicable stockholder approval provisions of The Nasdaq Stock Market that would require stockholder approval for the issuance of the Exchange Warrant, any Additional Warrant, any Initial Exercise Shares or any Additional Exercise Shares.

 

(k) No Bad Actor Disqualification. None of the Loan Parties, any of its predecessors, any director, executive officer, other officer of any Loan Party participating in the offering of the Securities, any beneficial owner (as that term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of 20% or more of any Loan Party’s outstanding voting equity securities, calculated on the basis of voting power, any “promoter” (as that term is defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) connected with any Loan Party at the time this representation is made, any placement agent or dealer participating in the offering of the Securities and any of such agents’ or dealer’s directors, executive officers, other officers participating in the offering of the Securities (each, a “Covered Person”) is subject to any of the “Bad Actor” disqualifications described in Rule 506(d)(1)(i) to (viii) under the Securities Act (a “Disqualification Event”). The Borrower has exercised reasonable care to determine (i) the identity of each person that is a Covered Person and (ii) whether any Covered Person is subject to a Disqualification Event. Each Loan Party has complied in all material respects, to the extent applicable, with its disclosure obligations under Rule 506(e).

 

(l) No Unlawful Payments. Neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party, nor to the knowledge of the Borrower, any of its and their directors or officers or any employee, agent, affiliate, representative of or other person associated with or acting on behalf of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, has (a) used any corporate funds for any unlawful contribution, gift, entertainment or other unlawful expense relating to political activity, (b) made any direct or indirect unlawful payment to any foreign or domestic government official or employee from corporate funds, (c) violated or is in violation of any provision of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, or (d) made any bribe, unlawful rebate, payoff, influence payment, kickback or other unlawful payment.

 

(m) Application of Takeover Protections. The Borrower and its board of directors have taken all necessary action, if any, in order to render inapplicable the Borrower’s issuance of the Securities, and the Lender’s ownership of the Securities from the provisions of any control share acquisition, interested stockholder, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement) or other similar anti-takeover provision under the organizational documents of the Borrower or the laws of the state of its incorporation which is applicable to the Lender as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Borrower’s issuance of the Securities.

 

10

 

 

(n) Financial Information. All information delivered to Agent and pertaining to the financial condition of any Loan Party fairly presents in all material respects the financial position of such Loan Party as of such respective date in conformity with GAAP (and as to unaudited financial statements, subject to normal year-end adjustments and the absence of footnote disclosures). Since September 30, 2023, there has been no material adverse change in the business, operations, properties or condition (financial or otherwise) of any Loan Party.

 

(o) Litigation. Except as has been disclosed to Agent in writing prior to the date hereof, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, there is no Litigation pending against, or to such Loan Party’s knowledge, threatened in writing against or affecting, any Loan Party or, to the best of such Loan Party’s knowledge, any party to any Facility Document other than a Loan Party involving more than, individually or in the aggregate, Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000). There is no Litigation pending in which an adverse decision would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or which in any manner draws into question the validity of any of the Facility Documents.

 

(p) Regulated Entities. No Loan Party is an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company” or a “subsidiary” of an “investment company,” all within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940.

 

(q) Listing; Registration. The Common Stock is listed on the Principal Market. During the last twelve months, trading in the Common Stock has not been suspended by the SEC or the Principal Market. As of the date of this Agreement, other than as disclosed in the SEC Documents, neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any communication, written or oral, from the SEC or the Principal Market regarding the suspension or termination of trading of the Common Stock on the Principal Market. The Common Stock is registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act, and neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has taken, or presently intend to take, any action designed to terminate, or that is likely to have the effect of terminating, the registration of the Common Stock under the Exchange Act; nor has the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries received any notification that the SEC is contemplating terminating such registration. The Common Stock is eligible for clearing through DTC, through its Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian (DWAC) system, and the Borrower is eligible for and participating in the Direct Registration System (DRS) of DTC with respect to the Common Stock. The transfer agent for the Common Stock is a participant in, and the Common Stock is eligible for transfer pursuant to, DTC’s Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program. The Common Stock is not, and has not at any time been, subject to any DTC “chill,” “freeze” or similar restriction with respect to any DTC services, including the clearing of transactions in shares of Common Stock through DTC.

 

(r) No Default. Except for (x) the Existing Events of Default and (y) any alleged Event of Default resulting from, or related to, the Borrower’s failure to timely file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, no Event of Default, or to such Loan Party’s knowledge, Default, has occurred and is continuing. No Loan Party is in breach or default under or with respect to any contract, agreement, lease or other instrument to which it is a party or by which its property is bound or affected, which breach or default would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

11

 

 

(s) Full Disclosure. Except for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or disclosed in the Announcing Form 8-K, no event, liability, development or circumstance has occurred or exists, or is contemplated to occur with respect to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any of its or their business, properties, prospects, operations or financial condition, that, under applicable securities laws, is required to have been, or be, publicly disclosed by the Borrower (on SEC Form 8-K otherwise) prior to, on or within four (4) Business Days after the date this representation is made, and, in either case, that has not been publicly disclosed by the Borrower at least one (1) Business Day prior to the date this representation is made. None of the written information (financial or otherwise) furnished by or on behalf of any Loan Party to Agent or any Lender in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Facility Documents, contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made.

Sientra Reports Preliminary Unaudited Third Quarter 2023 Financial

Results and Provides Update on Outlook

 

IRVINE, Calif., October. 30, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sientra, Inc. (NASDAQ: SIEN) (“Sientra” or the “Company”), a surgical aesthetics company delivering the safest and most innovative solutions for the best outcomes, today announced preliminary unaudited financial results for the fiscal third quarter ended September 30, 2023.

 

Total unaudited revenue for the third quarter of 2023 is expected to be in the range of $19.2 million to $19.7 million, compared to total revenue of $22.6 million in the prior year period. Third quarter results were adversely affected by overall softness in the market as well as more pronounced seasonal headwinds that led to a reduced number of augmentation and reconstruction cases during the third quarter, particularly in July and August.

 

As a result of the preliminary third quarter financial performance and based on the Company’s expectations that a volatile operating environment will continue in the fourth quarter due to the macroeconomic and geopolitical factors, the Company is withdrawing its fiscal year 2023 guidance.

 

Unaudited net cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2023, are expected to be in the range of $14.7 to $15.2 million, compared to $26.1 million on December 31, 2022, and $18.6 million on June 30, 2023.

 

Sientra and its advisors continue to find ways to improve the Company’s balance sheet and, together with its financial partners, are exploring strategic alternatives to provide the strongest path forward for continued success. Throughout this process, it remains business as usual and Sientra will continue to deliver for its customers, patients, employees, and partners seamlessly.

 

“We remain focused on delivering the safest and most innovative solutions for the best aesthetic outcomes,” said Ron Menezes, President and CEO of Sientra. “While we continue to see softness in the augmentation market, we are encouraged by our growth in breast reconstruction as we gain momentum from new products such as Viality and SimpliDerm. We are also committed to enhancing our financial footing to position Sientra as a partner of choice for plastic surgeons.”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

Sientra has supplemented its U.S. GAAP net income (loss) with a non-GAAP measure of adjusted EBITDA, U.S. GAAP gross profit and gross margin with a non-GAAP measure of adjusted gross profit and gross margin, U.S. GAAP operating expenses with a non-GAAP measure of non-GAAP operating expenses, and U.S. GAAP cash flow from operating activities with a non-GAAP measure of free cash flow. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information to management and investors regarding the performance of the Company, facilitate a more meaningful comparison of results for current periods with previous operating results, and assist management in analyzing future trends, making strategic and business decisions and establishing internal budgets and forecasts. Reconciliations of non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP adjusted gross profit and gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, and free cash flow to U.S. GAAP net income (loss), U.S. GAAP operating expenses and U.S. GAAP cash flow from operating activities, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures, are provided in the schedules below. There are limitations in using these non-GAAP financial measures because they are not prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for U.S. GAAP financial measures. Investors and potential investors should consider non-GAAP financial measures only in conjunction with Sientra’s financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and the reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures provided in the schedules below.
