Establishment Labs Announces Amended Credit Facility with Oaktree

- Amendment of commercial and regulatory milestones for $50 million of additional non-dilutive capital to support launch of Motiva Implants^® in U.S.

Establishment Labs Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: ESTA), a medical technology company focused on women’s health, initially in the breast aesthetics and reconstruction market, today announced that it has amended its $225 million term loan facility with funds managed by Oaktree Capital Management, L.P. (“Oaktree”).

The terms on the two tranches already drawn under the facility, which total $175 million, are unchanged. The remaining two $25 million tranches are amended as follows:

• Tranche C of $25 million available before December 31, 2024 and upon FDA approval of Motiva Implants^® in the U.S.
• Tranche D of $25 million available before June 30, 2025 and upon both Tranche C being drawn and trailing twelve-month sales exceeding $195 million.
• Interest will accrue on Tranches C and D at a fixed rate of 10.0% per annum.

“This amended facility provides access to additional capital, should we need it, to ensure our successful launch of Motiva Implants in the United States,” said Juan José Chacón-Quirós, CEO and Founder of Establishment Labs. “Even with this access to additional capital, we are focused on getting our current business to EBITDA positive in 2024 and cash flow positive in 2025, and our timeline for US market entry remains unchanged. Oaktree has proven to be a valuable partner in our journey to transform breast aesthetics and reconstruction, and we thank them for their continued confidence.”

“In the two years since we partnered with Establishment Labs, the company has achieved a number of key milestones on their path to global leadership in this industry,” added Aman Kumar, Co-Portfolio Manager of Life Sciences Lending at Oaktree. “The pending launch of Motiva Implants into the United States is perhaps the most significant of them all. We look forward to continuing our long-term relationship with Establishment Labs and are excited for what lies ahead.”

A Form 8-K outlining the full terms of the credit facility will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Any statements that refer to expectations regarding the private placement, such as its closing date and use of proceeds, as well as the Company’s projections of our future financial or operating performance are forward-looking statements. We claim the protection of the safe harbor contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. We caution investors that any forward-looking statements presented in this report, or that we may make orally or in writing from time to time, are expressions of our beliefs and expectations based on currently available information at the time such statements are made. Such statements are based on assumptions, and the actual outcome will be affected by known and unknown risks, trends, uncertainties, and factors that are beyond our control. Although we believe that our assumptions are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future performance, and some will inevitably prove to be incorrect. As a result, our actual future results and the timing of events may differ from our expectations, and those differences may be material. Factors, among others, that could cause actual results and events to differ materially from those described in any forward-looking statements include risks and uncertainties relating to: our ability to successfully, timely and cost-effectively develop, seek and obtain regulatory clearance for and commercialize our product offerings; the rate of adoption of our products by healthcare providers or other customers; the success of our marketing initiatives; the safe and effective use of our products; our ability to protect our intellectual property; our future expansion plans and capital allocation; our ability to expand upon and/or secure sources of credit or capital; our ability to develop and maintain relationships with qualified suppliers to avoid a significant interruption in our supply chains; our ability to attract and retain key personnel; our ability to scale our operations to meet market demands; the effect on our business of existing and new regulatory requirements; and other economic and competitive factors. These and other factors that could cause or contribute to actual results differing materially from our expectations include, among others, those risks and uncertainties discussed in the company’s annual report on Form 10-K filed on March 1, 2023 and discussed in the Company's quarterly report on Form 10-Q filed on November 8, 2023, which risks and uncertainties may be updated in the future in other filings made by the company with the SEC. The risks included in those documents are not exhaustive, and additional factors could adversely affect our business and financial performance. We operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risk factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all such risk factors, nor can we assess the impact of all such risk factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. We are not undertaking any obligation to update any forward-looking statements. Accordingly, investors should use caution in relying on past forward-looking statements, which are based on known results and trends at the time they are made, to anticipate future results or trends.
