Company context

Codexis® is a leading provider of high-performance enzymatic solutions for efficient and scalable therapeutics manufacturing. The company is currently developing its proprietary ECO Synthesis® Manufacturing Platform, an aqueous enzymatic process that may offer a scalable alternative to traditional solid phase organic synthesis of oligonucleotide manufacturing. Initially, Codexis is applying its technology to address the rapidly growing demand for RNAi therapeutics. Codexis’ unique enzymes can drive improvements such as higher yields, increased purity, reduced energy usage and waste generation, stereoisomer control of siRNA, and improved overall capacity in manufacturing at substantially lower capital requirements, all of which may lead to greater efficiency and reduced costs. In addition, the company supplies high-performance enzymes through its BioCatalysis business that are used in the manufacture of multiple commercially available small molecule therapeutics.

Item 1.01Item 1.01 - Entry into Material Agreement
Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. Loan and Security Agreement On November 5, 2026 (the “Closing Date”), Codexis, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Codexis Mayflower Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (together with the Company, the “Borrowers”) entered into that certain Loan and Security Agreement (the “LSA”) with the lenders party thereto from time to time (the “Lenders”) and Trinity Capital Inc., as administrative agent and collateral agent for the Lenders (the “Agent”). The LSA provides for term loans in an aggregate principal amount of up to $60.0 million, available in three tranches: (a) a term loan of $42.5 million, which was funded on the Closing Date (the “Tranche A Loan”); (b) a term loan of $7.5 million, available at the Borrowers’ request through December 15, 2027, subject to customary conditions and to the ratio of the outstanding principal amount of the Loans (after giving pro forma effect to such loan) to the Company’s market capitalization, as defined in the LSA, not exceeding 20% (the “Tranche B Loan”); and (c) a term loan of $10.0 million, available through the end of the Interest Only Period (as defined below), subject to approval by the Lenders in their sole discretion (the “Tranche C Loan” and, together with the Tranche A Loan and the Tranche B Loan, the “Loans”). The Borrowers are required to pay a commitment fee equal to 1.00% of the principal amount of each Loan funded. The Loans bear interest at a variable rate per annum equal to the greater of (i) 10.50% and (ii) the sum of (x) the lesser of The Wall Street Journal prime rate and 8.00%, plus (y) 3.75%. The Borrowers are required to make monthly payments of interest only until November 1, 2030 (such period, the “Interest Only Period”), after which the Loans amortize in equal monthly installments of principal and interest through the maturity date of November 1, 2031 (the “Maturity Date”). If no event of default or potential event of default has occurred on or prior to the last day of the Interest Only Period, the Interest Only Period will extend to the Maturity Date. At maturity or upon earlier prepayment or acceleration, the Borrowers are required to pay an end of term payment equal to 5.00% of the original principal amount of the Loans funded. The Borrowers may prepay the Loans in whole at any time, subject to a prepayment premium equal to 3.00% of the principal amount prepaid if prepaid on or before the first anniversary of the Closing Date, 2.00% if prepaid after the first anniversary and on or before the second anniversary of the Closing Date, and 1.00% thereafter. The Borrowers are required to prepay the Loans, together with the applicable prepayment premium and other amounts then due, upon a change of control or the acceleration of the Loans following an event of default. The Borrowers’ obligations under the LSA are secured by substantially all of their assets, including intellectual property, subject to customary exceptions. The LSA contains customary representations and warranties and affirmative and negative covenants, including restrictions on the incurrence of additional indebtedness, liens, investments, dispositions, mergers and acquisitions, dividends and other distributions, and transactions with affiliates, in each case subject to certain exceptions. The LSA also contains a financial covenant requiring the Borrowers, at any time the Company’s market capitalization is less than $400.0 million, to maintain liquidity, as defined in the LSA, of not less than the then-outstanding principal amount of the Loans, subject to a 60-day cure right that may be exercised no more than twice in any trailing 12-month period and that is not available if liquidity falls below 90% of the then-outstanding principal amount of the Loans. The LSA contains customary events of default, including, among others, payment defaults, breaches of covenants, material inaccuracies of representations and warranties, cross-defaults to other indebtedness in excess of $500,000, insolvency events, judgments in excess of $750,000, the occurrence of a material adverse change, a change of control, the delisting of the Company’s common stock and a decline of 95% or more in the price of the Company’s common stock from the price on the Closing Date that continues for 30 consecutive days. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default, the Agent may declare all outstanding obligations immediately due and payable, and the interest rate on the Loans may be increased by 4.00% per annum. Lender Warrants On the Closing Date, in connection with the LSA, the Company issued to the Lenders warrants (the “Lender Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,666,668 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), at an exercise price of $1.08 per share. The Lender Warrants vest and become exercisable in tranches upon the funding of each of the Tranche A Loan, the Tranche B Loan and the Tranche C Loan, with respect to a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 3.0% of the principal amount of the applicable Loan funded by the applicable Lender divided by the exercise price. Shares that have vested will not be forfeited upon any repayment, prepayment, refinancing or acceleration of the Loans or the termination of the LSA. Upon the funding of the Tranche A Loan on the Closing Date, the Lender Warrants vested with respect to 1,180,556 shares of Common Stock. The Lender Warrants expire on November 5, 2036 and may be exercised on a cashless basis. The foregoing descriptions of the LSA and the Lender Warrants do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the LSA and the form of Lender Warrant, which are filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 4.1, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.
Item 1.02Item 1.02 - Termination of Material Agreement
Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement. On the Closing Date, in connection with entry into the LSA, the Company used the proceeds of the Tranche A Loan, together with cash on hand, to repay in full all outstanding obligations under the Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of February 13, 2024, by and among the Company, Innovatus Life Sciences Lending Fund I, LP, as collateral agent, and the lenders party thereto (as amended, the “Innovatus Loan Agreement”). The Company paid an aggregate of approximately $43.6 million (the “Payoff Amount”), consisting of outstanding principal, accrued and unpaid interest, a prepayment fee and a final payment fee, together with other fees and expenses. Upon receipt of the Payoff Amount, all of the Company’s obligations under the Innovatus Loan Agreement were satisfied and discharged in full, all liens and security interests securing such obligations were released, and the Innovatus Loan Agreement was terminated. The warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock previously issued to Innovatus in connection with the Innovatus Loan Agreement remain outstanding in accordance with their terms.
Item 2.03Item 2.03 - Creation of Direct Financial Obligation
Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant. The information set forth in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K under the heading “Loan and Security Agreement” is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03.
Item 3.02Item 3.02 - Unregistered Sales of Equity
Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities. The information set forth in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K under the heading “Lender Warrants” is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02. The Lender Warrants were issued in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder, as transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering. Each Lender represented in its Lender Warrant that it is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act and is acquiring the Lender Warrant for investment for its own account and not with a view to the public resale or distribution thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act. Neither the Lender Warrants nor the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise thereof have been registered under the Securities Act, and they may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.
