Jaguar Health and its Subsidiary, Napo Pharmaceuticals, Enter into Third Amendment to the Accounts Receivable Purchase Agreement with Oasis Capital, LLC, Dated May 12, 2020

 

The Fourth Tranche Accounts Receivable has a gross value of $2,329,662.72, representing customer billings over a 24-day period

 

SAN FRANCISCO, CA / September 10, 2020 / Jaguar Health, Inc. (NASDAQ:JAGX) today announced that Jaguar and its wholly owned subsidiary, Napo Pharmaceuticals, Inc., (collectively, the “Company”) have jointly entered into a third amendment to the accounts receivable purchase agreement with Oasis Capital, LLC (“Oasis”), dated May 12, 2020, pursuant to which Oasis agreed to purchase additional accounts receivable of the Company related to the sales of the Company’s Mytesi® drug product to Cardinal Health for the period of August 11, 2020 through September 3, 2020 (the “Fourth Tranche Accounts Receivable”). The Fourth Tranche Accounts Receivable has a gross value of $2,329,662.72, representing customer billings over a 24-day period.

 

“We are happy to enter into this additional amendment with Oasis. Based on the success of the first three tranches of accounts receivable financing and the strength of our growing sales of Mytesi, we have been able to further our strategy of bringing in non-dilutive capital and striving to become a stable, cash flow positive commercial business,” said Lisa Conte, Jaguar’s president and CEO.

 

Per the terms of the agreement, Oasis will receive a fee of 5.45% (the “Fee”) of the $2,329,662.72 Fourth Tranche Accounts Receivable following their purchase of the Fourth Tranche Accounts Receivable for $990,106.65, an increased percentage of the gross accounts receivable compared to the April 2020 purchase (the “Purchase Price”). As with prior accounts receivable sales to Oasis, Oasis will return to the Company any amount that exceeds the sum of the Purchase Price and the Fee. As with all Mytesi gross sales, the Fourth Tranche Accounts Receivable will be reduced by Medicare, ADAP 340B chargebacks, returns, and wholesale distribution fees based on historical trends to determine net sales.

 

Under the amendment, Oasis is entitled to a one-time transaction fee of $5,000.

About Mytesi®

 

Mytesi (crofelemer) is an antidiarrheal indicated for the symptomatic relief of noninfectious diarrhea in adult patients with HIV/AIDS on antiretroviral therapy (ART). Mytesi is not indicated for the treatment of infectious diarrhea. Rule out infectious etiologies of diarrhea before starting Mytesi. If infectious etiologies are not considered, there is a risk that patients with infectious etiologies will not receive the appropriate therapy and their disease may worsen. In clinical studies, the most common adverse reactions occurring at a rate greater than placebo were upper respiratory tract infection (5.7%), bronchitis (3.9%), cough (3.5%), flatulence (3.1%), and increased bilirubin (3.1%).

 

See full Prescribing Information at Mytesi.com. Crofelemer, the active ingredient in Mytesi, is a botanical (plant-based) drug extracted and purified from the red bark sap of the medicinal Croton lechleri tree in the Amazon Rainforest. Napo has established a sustainable harvesting program for crofelemer to ensure a high degree of quality and ecological integrity.
