Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
On March 10, 2023, Alphatec Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) became aware that the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) issued a press release stating that Silicon Valley Bank, Santa Clara, California (“SVB”) was closed by the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation, which appointed the FDIC as receiver. On March 12, 2023, the Company became aware that the U.S. Treasury Department, the Federal Reserve and the FDIC jointly announced enabling actions that fully protect all depositors of SVB and that such depositors will have access to all of their funds starting Monday, March 13, 2023.
The Company maintains deposit accounts with SVB of approximately $14.0 million that are used for its day-to-day operations. The Company also holds cash and cash equivalents in accounts with other financial institutions, including money market investment accounts through SVB as agent. These money market investment accounts are comprised primarily of U.S. government backed securities of the highest investment grade and are intended to provide short-term liquidity to the Company. These accounts are not considered deposits with SVB, are not considered part of the FDIC receivership, and are considered separate property of the Company. In addition, as disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 28, 2023, the Company holds a $50.0 million revolving credit facility with MidCap Financial Trust (and affiliated entities) of which $35.0 million was drawn as of December 31, 2022. Further, as disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on January 9, 2023, the Company also holds a fully-funded term loan with Braidwell Transaction Holdings LLC – Series 1 (and affiliated entities) (“Braidwell”), as set forth more fully therein, in the amount of $100.0 million, which is held in accounts with other (non-SVB) financial institutions, and a delayed draw term loan facility with Braidwell in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $50.0 million.
The Company affirms its expectation that its cash and cash equivalents held outside of SVB will be sufficient to operate the Company’s business and meet its cash requirements for the foreseeable future.
The information in this Current Report on Form 8-K is being furnished pursuant to Item 7.01 and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section. This Current Report on Form 8-K will not be deemed an admission as to the materiality of any information herein.
