Financial Obligation (Form 8-K)
Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
On June 29, 2026, Ardelyx, Inc. (the "Company") received $50.0 million of funding (the "Term F Loan") pursuant to the loan and security agreement entered into in February 2022 by and between the Company and SLR Investment Corp., as collateral agent (the "Agent") and the lenders listed in the agreement (collectively, the "Lenders"), as amended in August 2022, February 2023, October 2023, October 2024, June 2025 and April 2026 (collectively, the "Loan Agreement"). The Company elected to draw down the Term F Loan for general corporate purposes and to enhance flexibility to support its ongoing strategic initiatives, in line with the Company's capital allocation strategy.
In accordance with the Loan Agreement, the Term F Loan maturity date is July 1, 2030, and bears an interest rate of the sum of 4.55% plus the greater of (a) the 1-month SOFR reference rate or (b) 3.5%. The Company is permitted to make interest-only payments on the Term F Loan until July 1, 2030.
In addition, the Loan Agreement contains customary events of default that entitle the Agent to cause the Company's indebtedness under the Loan Agreement to become immediately due and payable, and to exercise remedies against the Company and the collateral securing Term F Loan, including the Company's cash. Under the Loan Agreement, an event of default will occur if, among other things, the Company fails to make payments under the Loan Agreement, the Company breaches any of its covenants under the Loan Agreement, subject to specified cure periods with respect to certain breaches, certain Lenders determine that a material adverse change has occurred, the Company or its assets become subject to certain legal proceedings, such as bankruptcy proceedings, the Company is unable to pay its debts as they become due or the Company defaults on contracts with third parties which would permit the holder of indebtedness to accelerate the maturity of such indebtedness or that could have a material adverse change on the Company. Upon the occurrence and for the duration of an event of default, an additional default interest rate equal to 4.0% per annum will apply to all obligations owed under the Loan Agreement.
