ADMA Biologics Announces Amendment to Credit Agreement

Reduces Nominal Interest Rate by 1%

Provides for Improved Prepayment Flexibility

Total Debt Level Unchanged

Favorable Amendment Enabled by Strengthened Financial Outlook

RAMSEY, N.J. and BOCA RATON, Fla., May 02, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ADMA Biologics, Inc. (Nasdaq: ADMA) (“ADMA” or the “Company”), an end-to-end commercial biopharmaceutical company dedicated to manufacturing, marketing, and developing specialty plasma-derived biologics, today announced the Company has amended the terms of its existing senior credit facility with Hayfin Capital Management (“Hayfin”), which matures in March 2027.

“This credit agreement amendment with Hayfin enhances the Company’s already strong financial position by reducing our interest rate as well as providing for greater prepayment flexibility as ADMA continues to explore value creating opportunities for its stockholders,” said Adam Grossman, President and Chief Executive Officer of ADMA. “We appreciate Hayfin's continued support and collaboration of our efforts as ADMA continues on its path to profitability." 

“We commend the ADMA team for their continued execution, and we are pleased to be amending the credit terms to account for the Company’s improving financial prospects on the pathway to profitability,” said Howard Rowe, Managing Director of Hayfin. “Our continued commitment to ADMA and our willingness to amend the previously underwritten terms speak to the above-expectation commercial execution.”

The amended credit agreement provides for multiple favorable changes. First, there will be a reduction of 1% in the nominal interest expense on ADMA’s current note. This will result in a lowered borrowing rate of SOFR + 8.50%. Included in this base rate, and consistent with the existing terms of the Hayfin facility, the Company may elect to pay up to 2.50% of the interest in kind, with the remaining portion of the interest payable in cash. Secondly, within the first 24 months after the amendment closing date, among other provisions, there will be a newly structured 50% waiver of the prepayment fee in connection with an acquisition of the Company or other strategic transactions. Taken together, we believe these changes will reduce ADMA’s cost of capital and provide for added financial flexibility over the near term and on an ongoing basis.

The debt financing terms disclosed in this press release are not all inclusive and, as such, the statements in this press release are qualified in their entirety by reference to the description of the debt financing further detailed in a Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filing on Form 8-K which will be filed concurrently with this press release.
