On April 30, 2020, Pluristem Therapeutics Inc., or the Company, Pluristem Ltd., the Company’s Israeli subsidiary, and Pluristem GmBH, the Company’s German subsidiary, or the Borrower, entered into a Finance Contract, or the Finance Contract, with the European Investment Bank, or the Bank, pursuant to which the Borrower obtained a loan in the amount of €50 million, or the Loan, payable in tranches, subject to the achievement of certain clinical, regulatory and scale up milestones. Each of the Company and Pluristem Ltd. are guarantors under the Finance Contract.
Pursuant to the terms of the Finance Contract, the Borrower is required to use the funds provided by the Loan for the development of (i) PLX-PAD for the treatment of critical limb ischemia, or CLI, muscle regeneration following hip fracture, intermittent claudication and chronic graft-versus-host-disease; (ii) PLX-R18 for the treatment of acute radiation syndrome and incomplete hematopoietic recovery following hematopoietic cell transplantation; and (iii) PLX cells being tested under compassionate use programs or any other clinical program for complications caused by COVID-19, or collectively the Investment. The Finance Contract provides that the Loan amount will not exceed 50% of the cost of the Investment and further provides that a maximum of €10 million may be used for therapies targeting COVID-19, unless a successful compassionate study completed in any European county indicates positive results.
The Loan is not secured and will be disbursed in three tranches consisting of one tranche of €20 million, or the First Tranche, a second tranche of €18 million, or the Second Tranche, and a third tranche of €12 million, or the Third Tranche, each as may be requested by the Borrower, subject to the achievement of clinical, regulatory and scale up milestones.
In conjunction with the Finance Contract, the Borrower also agreed to pay the Bank a penalty of 1% of the Loan in the event no disbursement of the Loan is made within 6 months of the execution of the Finance Contract, unless the Company has not achieved the milestones that allow the disbursement.
The Tranches will be treated independently, each with its own interest rate and maturity period. The fixed interest rate is 0% per annum for the First Tranche and 1.00% for each of the Second Tranche and Third Tranche. The deferred interest rate is 4% per annum for the First Tranche, 3% for the Second Tranche and 2% for the Third Tranche.
The Borrower is required to repay the First Tranche and the Second Tranche, with all other amounts owed thereunder, in a single installment on the maturity date of that tranche, following the five-year anniversaries from each of the First Tranche and the Second Tranche disbursements. The Borrower is required to repay the Third Tranche, with all other amounts owed thereunder, in two equal installments, with the first such payment following the fourth anniversary of the disbursement date and the last repayment on a date not later than five years from the disbursement date. In addition, any early prepayment of the Loan is subject to certain prepayment penalties as specified in the Finance Contract.
In addition to any interest payable on the Loan, the Bank is also entitled to royalty payments, pro-rated to the amount disbursed from the Loan, on the Company’s consolidated revenues beginning in the fiscal year 2024 up to and including its fiscal year 2030, in an amount equal to up to 2.3% of the Company’s consolidated revenues below $350 million, 1.2% of the Company’s consolidated revenues between $350 million and $500 million and 0.2% of the Company’s consolidated revenues exceeding $500 million.
| Item 7.01. | Regulation FD Disclosure. |
On April 30, 2020, the Company held an Investor & Analyst Call pursuant to which it shared a presentation relating to the Bank Loan. The presentation is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
In accordance with General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information furnished pursuant to this Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

| Item 8.01. | Other Events. |
On April 30, 2020, the Company held an Investor & Analyst Call pursuant to which the Company updated participants that, as of April 30, 2020, it has cash and deposits of approximately $44 million, and assuming the full receipt of the Loan, such amount is expected to total $100 million as compared to approximately $17 million on December 31, 2019, and is expected to fund the Company’s operations for the next 3 years.
In addition, the Company updated that it has filed an Investigational New Drug (IND) application with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, and a Clinical Trial Authorization application has been submitted in Europe, starting with Germany and Italy. The Company further updated that it intends to commence Phase II studies of PLX cell therapy in the treatment of complications arising from COVID-19 as soon as it receives clearance from regulators in the U.S. and Europe. Anticipating responses in the next few weeks, the Company’s goal is to complete enrollment and treatment in a few months, by utilizing its logistical and technological competitive advantages to support effective enrollment. In parallel, the Company plans to conduct an Expanded Access Program in both the U.S. and Europe. The Company believes the clinical development of this indication will be expedited as a result of the Loan.
The Company also provided updates on the critical limb ischemia, or CLI, Phase III study and its Phase III study on muscle regeneration following hip fracture. With respect to the CLI Phase III study, the Company advised that it is advancing with more than 80% patients enrolled, that enrollment has slowed in April, 2020, and that the Company is now finalizing discussions with the FDA and European Medicines Agency regarding the data readout, confirming understandings on endpoint, timing, and procedures for cleaning data during COVID-19 limitations. The Company expects the announcement of the interim readout top line results to be delayed to the beginning of the fourth quarter of calendar year 2020. The Company is and will continue to closely follow the guidelines that will enable access to the clinical sites to clean the data prior to data lock. With respect to the Phase III study on muscle regeneration following hip fracture, the Company advised that the study is more than 60% enrolled, and that enrollment has slowed in April, 2020. The Company advised that it has been working to secure Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) data capture, working with the sites on home monitoring. The Company intends to provide guidelines for expected end of enrollment for both studies once it has greater clarity of the impact of COVID-19 on the enrollment rates in each respective study.

Warning Concerning Forward Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and federal securities laws. For example, the Company is using forward-looking statements when it discuss the intended use of proceeds of the Loan from the Bank to support its research and development to further advance its regenerative cell therapy product candidates, with a special focus on the treatment of complications associated with COVID-19, the belief that its financial resources are expected to fund its operations for the next three years, the expected timing of interim data readouts, patient enrollments and the timing of public announcements of its clinical trials, and the timing of enrollment of certain studies, and the expected response from regulators, with respect to its IND application for the use of its PLX cells for the treatment of complications associated with COVID-19. These forward-looking statements and their implications are based on the current expectations of the management of the registrant only, and are subject to a number of factors and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements: changes in technology and market requirements; Pluristem may encounter delays or obstacles in launching and/or successfully completing its clinical trials; Pluristem’s products may not be approved by regulatory agencies; Pluristem’s technology may not be validated as it progresses further and its methods may not be accepted by the scientific community; Pluristem may be unable to retain or attract key employees whose knowledge is essential to the development of its products; unforeseen scientific difficulties may develop with Pluristem’s process; Pluristem’s products may wind up being more expensive than it anticipates; results in the laboratory may not translate to equally good results in real clinical settings; results of preclinical studies may not correlate with the results of human clinical trials; Pluristem’s patents may not be sufficient; Pluristem products may harm recipients; changes in legislation; inability to timely develop and introduce new technologies, products and applications and; loss of market share and pressure on pricing resulting from competition, which could cause Pluristem’s actual results or performance to differ materially from those contemplated in such forward-looking statements. In addition, historic results of scientific research do not guarantee that the conclusions of future research would not suggest different conclusions or that historic results would not be interpreted differently in light of additional research or otherwise. Except as otherwise required by law, the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly release any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. For a more detailed description of the risks and uncertainties affecting the registrant, reference is made to the Company’s reports filed from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
