Senseonics Holdings, Inc. Enters into Term Loan Agreement with Oxford Finance LLC and Silicon Valley Bank

GERMANTOWN, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Senseonics Holdings, Inc. (NYSE-MKT:SENS), a medical technology company focused on the development and commercialization of a long-term, implantable continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) system for people with diabetes, today announced that it has entered into a term loan agreement with Oxford Finance LLC (Oxford), Silicon Valley Bank (SVB), and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Senseonics, Incorporated. The agreement provides Senseonics with up to $30 million of potential borrowing capacity.

"Together with the capital we have raised through our recent public offering, the agreement with Oxford and SVB provides capital on attractive terms that can support our continued efforts to pursue our business plan aggressively," stated Tim Goodnow, Chief Executive Officer of Senseonics. “The optional borrowing amounts, which are available upon achievement of certain milestones, provide added flexibility to fund other growth initiatives as opportunities arise.”

Under the terms of the agreement, Oxford and SVB has initially provided an aggregate of $15 million to Senseonics, of which Senseonics used $11 million to retire existing loans with Oxford, including a final payment fee of $1 million. The agreement also permits Senseonics to borrow up to an additional $15 million upon the achievement of specified milestones, and the funding of specific tranches under the agreement, through the end of 2017.

The agreement provides for monthly payments of interest only for a period of 12 months, followed by an amortization period of 36 months. However, if Senseonics satisfies certain milestones and borrows an additional $10 million under the agreement, the interest only period will be extended by an additional six months and the amortization period will be 30 months. .
