eyenovia amends loan agreement, limits stock conversion option

Eyenovia, Inc. (NASDAQ:EYEN), a pharmaceutical company currently valued at $6.91 million and trading below its InvestingPro Fair Value, has entered into a third amendment to its loan and security agreement with Avenue Capital Management II, L.P., as administrative and collateral agent, and Avenue Venture Opportunities Fund, L.P., and Avenue Venture Opportunities Fund II, L.P., as lenders. This amendment, dated May 30, 2025, modifies the original agreement established on November 22, 2022.

The original loan agreement, supplemented previously, allowed for term loans up to $15 million, with a conversion option enabling lenders to convert up to $10 million into Eyenovia’s common stock at $1.68 per share. With a current ratio of 0.34 and total debt of $11.15 million, InvestingPro data indicates the company operates with significant debt burden and short-term obligations exceeding liquid assets.

The new amendment restricts any lender from exercising this conversion option if it would result in the lender, along with its affiliates, owning more than 9.99% of Eyenovia’s outstanding common stock post-conversion. Lenders can adjust this threshold up to 19.99% with written notice, effective 61 days after notice.

Additionally, the amendment states that if Eyenovia undergoes a fundamental transaction, such as a merger or significant asset sale, while the conversion option is outstanding, lenders can convert their loans into the same type of securities or cash they would have received if the conversion had occurred before the transaction.

This information is based on a press release statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
