(Impel), a late-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of transformative therapies for patients living with central nervous system (CNS) diseases with high unmet medical needs, today announced the closing of a $50 million debt facility with Oxford Finance LLC and Silicon Valley Bank, of which the first $20 million was funded at closing.
"This strategic debt financing, coupled with our current cash, increases our balance sheet strength and firmly positions us to execute upon the potential launch and commercialization of TRUDHESA™ for the treatment of patients with acute migraine," said Adrian Adams, chairman and chief executive officer of Impel NeuroPharma. "The TRUDHESA NDA was accepted for review by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in January of this year and has a Prescription Drug User Fee Act target action date of September 6, 2021."
The initial $20 million tranche extends Impel's expected cash runway through the 4th quarter of 2022. Under the terms of the debt facility, the second $10 million tranche is available through September 30, 2021 upon the approval of TRUDHESA™. The third $20 million tranche is available through December 31, 2022, upon the achievement of certain revenue milestones and other specified conditions. The debt facility will mature on July 1, 2026 and requires interest only payments until September 1, 2023, subject to potential extension with achievement of certain revenue milestones.
"Oxford and SVB are pleased to provide Impel with access to this growth capital term loan facility as the Company prepares to commercially launch TRUDHESA™ and continues to develop its proprietary POD® technology, which has demonstrated successful results in multiple clinical trials to date," said Christopher Herr, Senior Managing Director at Oxford.
Cowen acted as the Company's sole financial adviser in connection with the debt facility.

– Completed successful IPO raising approximately $80.0 million in gross proceeds –
– NDA for TRUDHESA for treatment of acute migraine accepted for review by FDA; PDUFA date of September 6, 2021 –
– Strengthened commercial capabilities with expanded management team and strategic collaboration with Veeva Systems –SEATTLE, June 07, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Impel NeuroPharma, Inc. (NASDAQ:IMPL), a late-stage pharmaceutical company focused on utilizing its proprietary POD® technology to develop and commercialize transformative therapies for patients suffering from diseases with high unmet medical needs, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2021 and produced a recent business update.
"The past quarter and recent months were marked by significant financial and clinical milestones for Impel as we execute on what we believe will be a transformational year for the Company. With the completion of a successful IPO, we are well-financed as we approach the potential launch of TRUDHESA, a treatment option for patients with migraines, later this year," said Adrian Adams, chairman and chief executive officer of Impel NeuroPharma. "Additionally, we have continued the disciplined build-out of our commercial infrastructure, by the addition of key, experienced hires with considerable track records of success, in addition to engaging in a strategic collaboration with Veeva to broaden our commercial capabilities."
First Quarter and Recent Business Highlights
- Completed initial public offering (IPO), raising approximately $80.0 million in gross proceeds. In April, Impel announced it had closed its initial public offering of 5,333,334 common shares at a price to the public of $15.00 per share. With completion of the IPO, the Company believes it has sufficient financial resources to fund operations through mid-2022.
- FDA PDUFA date set for September 6, 2021. In January 2021, U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) accepted for review the Company's 505(b)(2) New Drug Application (NDA) for TRUDHESA for the acute treatment of migraine headaches with or without aura in adults. The FDA has set a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) target action date of September 6, 2021. The NDA submission for TRUDHESA is supported by safety results from the pivotal Phase 3 STOP 301 study, which met its primary objectives, with no new safety signals or concerning trends in nasal safety findings observed for TRUDHESA. TRUDHESA, if approved by the FDA, will become the first and only therapy to utilize the POD technology, a novel delivery system that specifically targets the vascular-rich upper nasal space.
- Expanded management team with key, experienced hires to further enhance commercial execution, infrastructure, and market access capabilities as Company advances toward commercialization. In March 2021, the Company appointed Leonard S. Paolillo as Chief Commercial Officer, and Gerald F. Penn as Vice President, Market Access and Trade. Mr. Paolillo and Mr. Penn bring a wealth of commercial strategy and product launch experience in competitive and complex markets.
- Engaged in strategic collaboration with Veeva to build integrated, digital-first commercial foundation. In February 2021, Impel announced a collaboration on key pre-launch preparations for TRUDHESA with Veeva Commercial Cloud, which will provide a complete commercial suite of data, software, and consulting services to drive its strategy and accelerate field engagement. This collaboration will help design and implement customer-centric strategies that will enable Impel sales professionals to increase the value of their targeted interactions with healthcare professionals.
First Quarter 2021 Financial Results:
- Research and Development (R&D) Expenses: Research and development expenses for the first quarter of 2021 were $4.1 million, which compares with $6.4 million for the first quarter of 2020. The decrease in R&D spending was due primarily to a decrease in clinical costs post the completion of the TRUDHESA Phase 3 trial.
- General and Administrative (G&A) Expenses: General and administrative expenses for the first quarter of 2021 were $5.8 million, which compares with $3.5 million for the first quarter of 2020. The increase in G&A was due primarily to the ramp up of commercial related activity in preparation for the potential approval (and subsequent launch) of TRUDHESA.
- Net Loss: For the first quarter of 2021, Impel reported a net loss of $11.4 million, compared to a net loss of $9.9 million for the same period in 2020.
- Non-GAAP Net Loss Per Share: Non-GAAP Net Loss Per Share was $0.54 for the first quarter of 2021, and $0.54 for the first quarter of 2020. Non-GAAP Pro Forma Net Loss Per Share gives effect to our reverse stock split, the shares of common stock issued in our IPO, and the conversion of our convertible preferred stock and our convertible notes into shares of common stock as if such conversions occurred at the beginning of each period presented. Non-GAAP Net Loss Per Share excludes the effect of accretion on our redeemable convertible preferred stock and interest expense on our convertible notes, all of which converted to shares of common stock in our April 2021 IPO. Please refer to the section in this press release titled "Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results" for details.
- GAAP Net Loss Per Share: GAAP Net Loss Per Share totaled $15.09 per share in the first quarter of 2021 and $27.40 in the first quarter of 2020. The weighted average share count used in our GAAP net loss per share calculations does not reflect the issuance of 5.3 million shares of common stock in our IPO, 0.6 million shares upon the April 2021 conversion of our convertible notes, 0.05 million shares upon conversion of net exercised warrants, and 12.6 million shares upon the April 2021 conversion of our preferred stock.
- Cash Balance: As of March 31, 2021, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $4.4 million, and the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $71.1m as of April 30, 2021, post the April IPO.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We have provided in this press release certain financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). Our management uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing our financial results and believes that use of these non-GAAP financial measures is useful to investors as an additional tool to evaluate ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing our financial results with other companies in our industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP and should be read only in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of our historical non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures has been provided in the financial statement tables included in this press release, and investors are encouraged to review these reconciliations.
About TRUDHESA™:
TRUDHESA™, the Company's lead product candidate, aims to optimize dihydroergotamine mesylate (DHE) for fast and lasting whole migraine relief, regardless of when in the migraine attack it is administered, without an injection. Importantly, TRUDHESA™ is designed to deliver a lower dose of DHE compared to other nasally administered, FDA-approved and investigational products. This may enable patients to benefit from the established efficacy of DHE, without the undesired side effects that may be experienced with delivery to the lower nasal space.
TRUDHESA™ utilizes Impel's propellant-enabled POD technology to conveniently and consistently deliver optimal doses of DHE directly into the vascular rich upper nasal space, an ideal target for efficient drug administration. This may be particularly important for many patients with migraine who experience nausea and/or vomiting during an attack, which presents limitations for the use of oral therapies, including triptans, CGRP inhibitors and ditans as well as other non-specific medications used for the acute treatment of migraine.
