ITEM 1.01.

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
|
On July 17, 2024, OPKO Health, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with certain purchasers party thereto from time to time, its wholly-owned subsidiaries OPKO Biologics Limited (“OBL”) and EirGen Pharma Ltd. (“EirGen”) as guarantors (OBL and EirGen collectively, the “Guarantors”), and HCR Injection SPV, LLC as agent (“Agent”), pursuant to which the Company issued senior secured notes (“Notes”) in aggregate initial principal amount of Two Hundred Fifty Million Dollars ($250,000,000). The Notes mature on July 17, 2044 and bear interest at the 3-month Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) subject to a 4.0% per annum floor, plus 7.5% per annum. Interest is payable on the Notes on a quarterly basis determined by profit share payments received by EirGen pursuant to the profit share arrangement with Pfizer, Inc. (the “Royalty Payments”). In the event that the aggregate amount of the Royalty Payments received by EirGen during the quarter preceding any quarterly interest payment date are less than the accrued and unpaid interest payable on such date, the excess interest payable on such date shall be paid-in-kind and added to the outstanding principal amount of the Notes. Prior to July 17, 2028, the Company will not be required to make any principal payments on the Notes. Thereafter, principal payments will also be payable from the Royalty Payments until the principal amount is fully repaid at which time, all future Royalty Payments will be retained by the Company. The Company will be required to pay the purchasers a 3% exit fee in connection with any repayment in full of the Notes, whether at maturity or otherwise. In addition, in the event that the Company repays the Notes in full prior to the maturity date, the Company will be required to pay the purchasers a make whole payment in an amount necessary such that the purchasers shall have received aggregate payments of principal, interest and fees in respect of the Notes equal to at least 150% of the initial principal amount of the Notes, in the event that such prepayment shall occur on or prior to the fifth anniversary of the issuance of the Notes, or 200% of the initial principal amount of the Notes, in the event that such prepayment shall occur following the fifth anniversary of the issuance of the Notes. If the Notes have not been fully repaid by the Maturity Date, the Company may elect to either repay the unpaid balance of the principal amount in full, together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon and the 3% exit fee, or elect to transfer 80% of all future Royalty Payments to the Agent and the purchasers in satisfaction of the outstanding Notes. The Company may authorize up to an additional Fifty Million ($50,000,000) in additional notes to the purchasers on the same terms and conditions of the initial notes.
The Notes are secured by the Royalty Payments paid to EirGen. The Guarantors have guaranteed the obligations under the Notes by granting a security interest in certain assets of the Guarantors.
The Agreement contains customary terms and covenants, including negative covenants, such as limitations on indebtedness, liens, amendments to certain material contracts and disposition of assets. The Agreement also contains financial covenants, customary events of default, including defaults related to payment compliance, material inaccuracy of representations and warranties, covenant compliance, bankruptcy and insolvency proceedings, and cross-payment defaults related to certain other material indebtedness agreements.
The issuance of the Notes was conducted in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and by Rule 144, and on similar exemptions under applicable state laws. Each purchaser party to the Agreement has represented that it is an “accredited investor” (as defined in Regulation D of the Securities Act) or a “qualified institutional buyer” and that it is acquiring the Notes for investment only and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof, and appropriate legends will be affixed to the Notes.
The foregoing description of the Notes and the Agreement is only a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of Note and the Agreement, which the Company will file as an exhibit to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 and incorporated by reference herein.

Exhibit 99.1
OPKO Health and HealthCare Royalty Enter into $250 Million Note Purchase Agreement Secured by NGENLA’s Profit Share Payments
MIAMI (July 17, 2024) – OPKO Health, Inc. (NASDAQ: OPK) announces it has entered into a $250 million non-dilutive note purchase agreement with HealthCare Royalty (HCRx) secured by OPKO’s profit share payments from Pfizer received pursuant to its license agreement relating of NGENLA™, a once-weekly treatment currently marketed to treat pediatric growth hormone deficiency.
“This transaction with HCRx allows OPKO to retain a significant portion of NGENLA’s profit share payments in the near term and provides upside over the long term. It also permits OPKO to maintain the full benefit of the $100 million of remaining potential milestone payments from Pfizer,” said Phillip Frost, M.D., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of OPKO. “Additionally, it provides non-dilutive capital and financial flexibility to advance our research and development activities including our multispecific antibody programs, as well as potentially to repurchase shares of our common stock and convertible notes.”
The $250 million note issued under the Note Purchase Agreement bears interest at the 3-month Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) subject to a 4.0% per annum floor, plus 7.5% per annum. The note has a final maturity date of July 2044 with the first four years requiring interest-only payments.

These forward-looking statements may be identified by words such as “expects,” “plans,” “projects,” “will,” “may,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “should,” “intends,” “estimates,” and other words of similar meaning. These statements are based on management’s current expectations and are subject to uncertainty and changes in circumstances.

These factors include those described in the Company’s Annual Reports on Form 10-K filed and to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and under the heading “Risk Factors” in the Company’s other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as the continuation and success of the Company’s relationship with the Company’s commercial partners, liquidity issues and the risks inherent in funding, developing and obtaining regulatory approvals of new, commercially-viable and competitive products and treatments. In addition, forward-looking statements may also be adversely affected by general market factors, competitive product development, product availability, federal and state regulations and legislation, the regulatory process for new products and indications, manufacturing issues that may arise, patent positions and litigation, among other factors.
