Savara (SVRA) ties extra $75M loan access to FDA OK for MOLBREEVI

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Savara Inc. entered into a First Amendment to its Loan and Security Agreement with Hercules Capital and other lenders. As amended, the agreement allows the company to borrow up to an aggregate of $105 million in term loans. The amendment resets the timing and conditions for Savara to draw up to $75 million of additional term loans, which become available only if the FDA approves its MOLBREEVI product candidate for treating aPAP. It also pushes back the initial dates for certain cash and revenue financial covenants to April 1, 2027 and September 30, 2027 if Savara’s market capitalization falls below specified thresholds, and grants lenders a first‑priority security interest in the company’s intellectual property, which can revert to a negative pledge if a related purchase agreement is terminated and unrestricted cash remains at or above $50 million.

Insights

Credit and capital structure analyst

Amended loan boosts available debt capacity but tightens IP collateral terms.

The amendment confirms that Savara Inc. can borrow up to an aggregate $105 million in term loans and restructures access to an additional $75 million that depends on FDA approval of MOLBREEVI for aPAP. This links a sizable portion of potential borrowing capacity directly to a regulatory milestone, so access to that capital hinges on approval timing and outcome.

The changes also delay when certain financial covenants start to apply, moving the unrestricted cash requirement to April 1, 2027 and the minimum trailing six‑month revenue covenant to September 30, 2027 if market capitalization falls below preset levels. That provides more runway before tighter balance sheet tests might apply, but it is paired with a first‑priority perfected security interest in the company’s intellectual property. That lien converts to a negative pledge only if the RTW purchase agreement is terminated before funds are received and unrestricted cash is at least $50 million, so ongoing collateralization of IP will depend on those specific conditions.

Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On January 26, 2026, Savara Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a First Amendment (the “First Amendment”) to the Loan and Security Agreement, dated March 26, 2025 (the “Loan Agreement”), with the lenders party thereto (the “Lenders”) and Hercules Capital, Inc., as administrative agent and collateral agent. As amended, the Loan Agreement provides for the Company to borrow up to an aggregate of $105 million of term loans.

The First Amendment reset the timing and conditions to the Company’s ability to draw up to $75 million of additional term loans under the Loan Agreement, subject in each case to FDA approval of the Company’s MOLBREEVI product candidate for the treatment of aPAP (the “Approval Milestone”).

Pursuant to the First Amendment, upon achievement of the Approval Milestone, the Company may borrow up to $75 million of additional term loans under the Loan Agreement, as follows:

• Up to $45 million through the earlier of (i) 120 days following the Approval Milestone or (ii) June 30, 2027 (the “First Post-Approval Tranche”).

• Beginning upon the earlier of the full draw or expiration of the First Post-Approval Tranche, up to $30 million through the earlier of (i) 120 days following the Approval Milestone or (ii) June 30, 2027.

The First Amendment extended the dates by which the Company may be required to comply with two financial covenants, extending the initial date for compliance with the unrestricted cash requirement to April 1, 2027, and the date for compliance with the minimum trailing six-month revenue covenant to September 30, 2027, if its market capitalization falls below the previously reported thresholds for each respective covenant.

The First Amendment grants the Lenders a first-priority perfected security interest in the Company’s intellectual property that will convert to a negative pledge if the Company terminates the Purchase and Sale Agreement dated as of October 29, 2025 with funds managed by RTW Investments, LP (the “Purchase Agreement”) prior to receiving funds under the Purchase Agreement and so long as the Company maintains $50 million or more in unrestricted cash.

The foregoing description of the First Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the First Amendment, which the Company plans to file with its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.

Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
