Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On March 24, 2005, Cytokinetics, Incorporated (the “Company”) and General Electric Capital Corporation (“GE”) entered into Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”), which amends certain provisions of the Master Security Agreement, by and among the Company and GE, dated as of February 2, 2001 (the “MSA”).
Under the MSA, funds borrowed by the Company from GE, and other obligations of the Company to GE, are secured by property and equipment of the Company purchased by such borrowed funds and other collateral agreed to by the Company.
The Amendment adds certain provisions into the default section of the MSA that provide for the Company to be in default under the MSA in the event of material adverse changes with respect to the Company and its business and material defaults by the Company of any of the following that the Company is required to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission: debt agreements, agreements calling for deferred purchase price payments for real property and real property lease agreements. In exchange for the change of terms to the MSA under the Amendment, GE is extending the funding period for the January 2004 $4.5 million line of credit between the Company and GE to December 31, 2005, which would allow the Company to make additional draws on amounts available under such line of credit until such date.
