TORONTO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Acerus Pharmaceuticals Corporation (“Acerus” or the “Company”) (TSX: ASP, OTCQB: ASPCF) today announced that the Company has received a waiver letter from SWK Funding LLC (“SWK”) related to the required Revenue Covenant for the third quarter of fiscal 2020 in its existing credit facility.
“While we expect third quarter revenue to be higher than both the first and second quarters of 2020, certain elements in the calculation of revenue cannot be determined with accuracy until shortly after the end of the quarter,” said Bob Motz, Chief Financial Officer of Acerus. “To be prudent, we requested, and received from SWK, a waiver of this covenant in our credit facility prior to the end of the quarter.”
All other terms and conditions in the SWK loan agreement remain unchanged.
