CareDx secures $20 million through 5.25% two-tranche credit facility

East West Bank loan replaces facility with Oxford Finnce, Silicon Valley

By Devika Patel

Knoxville, Tenn., Feb. 3 – CareDx, Inc. said it arranged a $20 million credit facility with East West Bank. The deal will settle in two tranches of $16 million and $4 million and replaces a $10 million credit facility with Oxford Finance and Silicon Valley Bank that was set to expire in 2016.

The loan initially bears interest at 5.25%, but the coupon floats with the Prime rate.

The investor also will receive 34,483 warrants. The warrants are each exercisable at $6.96 for five years. The strike price reflects a 1.28% discount to the Feb. 2 closing share price of $7.05.

The Brisbane, Calif., company has developed a blood-based test used to monitor heart transplant recipients for acute cellular rejection.
