On February 13, 2024, Codexis, Inc.

Funding of the first $30.0 million tranche was completed on February 13, 2024. The Company will be eligible to draw on a second tranche of $10.0 million upon achievement of certain milestones, including the achievement of certain trailing twelve month net product revenue and certain ratio of Indebtedness (as defined in the Loan Agreement) to its then Market Capitalization (as defined in the Loan Agreement).

The Company is entitled to make interest-only payments for thirty-sixmonths, or up to forty-eight months if certain conditions are met.

The Loan Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and covenants, subject to customary carve outs, and includes financial covenants related to liquidity and net product revenue, with the latter beginning with the period ending September 30, 2024.

In connection with the Term Loans, the Company is required to issue to Innovatus a warrant (the "Warrants") to purchase an aggregate of 424,028 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $2.83 per share. The Warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis, and are immediately exercisable through the 10th anniversary of the initial funding date. The number of shares of common stock for which each Warrant is exercisable and the associated exercise price are subject to certain proportional adjustments as set forth in such Warrant.
