Knoxville, Tenn., Aug. 1 - Bacterin International Holdings, Inc. negotiated a $15 million credit facility with MidCap Funding III, LLC and Silicon Valley Bank on July 29, according to an 8-K filed Monday with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The facility matures in 42 months and bears interest at one-month Libor plus 750 basis points, with a Libor floor rate of 3%.

MidCap will also receive 7% warrant coverage. The warrants will be exercisable at $2.55 for seven years. The strike price is a 9.44% premium to the July 28 closing share price of $2.33.

Bacterin received a first tranche of $7 million at closing to retire its debt with Bridge Bank and Western Technology Investments, with the remaining proceeds of about $1.4 million to be used for working capital. A second tranche of $8 million will be used for potential acquisitions. In connection with the financing, Bacterin will reduce its debt service payments through April 30, 2012 by roughly $60,000 per month from current levels.
