ITEM 4.

PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is supplemented by the following:

Bankruptcy Petition; DIP Credit Agreement

On August 9, 2023 (the Petition Date), the Company and certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries (collectively, the Company Parties or the Debtors) filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (the Bankruptcy Code) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the Bankruptcy Court), thereby commencing Chapter 11 cases for the Company Parties (the Chapter 11 Cases). On the Petition Date, the Company Parties filed a motion with the Bankruptcy Court seeking to jointly administer the Chapter 11 Cases under the caption In re: Amyris, et al.

The Company Parties are seeking approval of various first day motions with the Bankruptcy Court, requesting customary relief intended to enable them to continue their ordinary course operations and facilitate an orderly transition of their operations into Chapter 11. In addition, the Company Parties filed with the Bankruptcy Court a motion seeking approval (Interim DIP Order) of debtor-in-possession financing (DIP Financing) in the form of the DIP Credit Agreement (as defined and described below).

As discussed above, the Company Parties have sought an order authorizing the Company, Amyris Clean Beauty, Inc., and Aprinnova, LLC, in their capacity as borrowers (collectively, the Borrowers), to obtain post-petition financing, and for each of the other Debtors and certain other non-Debtor subsidiaries (the Guarantors) to guarantee unconditionally on a joint and several basis, the Borrowers obligations in connection with a senior secured super-priority multiple-draw term loan facility (the DIP Facility) in the aggregate principal amount of up to $190 million, subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in that certain Senior Secured Super Priority Debtor In Possession Loan Agreement, dated as of August 9, 2023 (the DIP Credit Agreement), by and among the Borrowers, the Guarantors, Euagore, LLC, an affiliate of Foris Ventures, LLC (and such other lenders from time to time party thereto, the Lenders), and Euagore, LLC, as Administrative Agent (the Administrative Agent). The proceeds of the proposed DIP Facility may be used for, among other things, post-petition working capital for the Company and its subsidiaries, payment of costs to administer the Chapter 11 Cases, payment of expenses and fees of the transactions contemplated by the Chapter 11 Cases and payment of other costs, in each case, subject to an approved budget and such other purposes permitted under the DIP Credit Agreement and the Interim DIP Order.

The DIP Credit Agreement includes certain required milestones with respect to the Chapter 11 Cases, including, but not limited to, a requirement that no later than thirty-five (35) days after the Petition Date, the Debtors shall have executed a plan support agreement (the Plan Support Agreement), by and among the Debtors, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the other pre-petition secured lenders of the Company and certain other parties, which is acceptable to the Lenders and such other pre-petition secured lenders of the Company that are affiliates of FV, in their sole discretion (such milestone, the Plan Support Agreement Milestone). If the Plan Support Agreement Milestone is not satisfied on or prior to the applicable deadline, the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, may elect to require the Debtors to initiate a process to market and sell all of the Companys assets.

The DIP Credit Agreement is subject to approval by the Bankruptcy Court. The Company disclosed that it has requested authorization from the Bankruptcy Court, upon entry of the Interim DIP Order, for no more than two draws prior to the entry of a final order approving the DIP Financing (the Final DIP Order), in the aggregate principal amount of up to $70 million; and upon entry of the Final DIP Order, multiple additional draws in the aggregate principal amount not to exceed $120 million. The Company further disclosed that it has requested a hearing on or before August 11, 2023, to consider entry of the Interim DIP Order and stated that it anticipates that the DIP Credit Agreement will become effective promptly following entry of the Interim DIP Order by the Bankruptcy Court.

The Company disclosed that it cannot be certain that holders of the Companys Common Stock will receive any payment or other distribution on account of those shares following the Chapter 11 Cases. The Company further stated that it expects to receive a notice from The Nasdaq Stock Market (Nasdaq) that the Common Stock is no longer suitable for listing pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5110(b) as a result of the Chapter 11 Cases. If the Company receives such notice, the Company stated that it does not intend to appeal Nasdaqs determination and, therefore, the Company expects that the Common Stock will be delisted.

Default under Existing Debt Arrangements

The commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases described above constitutes an event of default that accelerated the Companys obligations under certain debt instruments by and between the Company, certain subsidiaries of the Company and the Reporting Parties (or affiliates of the Reporting Parties), among other debt instruments issued by the Company, including but not limited to:

 

the 2019 LSA;

 

the 2022 LSA;

 

the Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of March 10, 2023, by and among the Company, certain other Company Parties and Perrara Ventures, LLC;

 

the Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of June 5, 2023, by and among the Company, certain other Company Parties and Anesma Group, LLC;

 

the Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of June 29, 2023, by and among the Company, certain other Company Parties and Anjo Ventures, LLC; and

 

the Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of August 2, 2023, by and among the Company, certain other Company Parties and Muirisc, LLC;

each as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time (collectively, the Debt Instruments).

The Debt Instruments provide that as a result of the Chapter 11 Cases, the principal and interest due thereunder shall be immediately due and payable, among other things. Any efforts to enforce such payment obligations under the Debt Instruments are automatically stayed as a result of the Chapter 11 Cases, and the creditors rights of enforcement in respect of the Debt Instruments are subject to the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.

General

The Reporting Persons acquired the securities described in this Schedule for investment purposes and they intend to review their investments in the Company on a continuing basis. In addition, the Reporting Persons intend to participate in the management of the Company through representation on the Companys board of directors (the Board). L. John Doerr and Ryan Panchadsaram, a partner at Foris Ventures, serve as members of the Board.

The Reporting Persons may take positions with respect to potential changes in the operations, management, Board composition, ownership, capital structure, strategy and future plans of the Company. In addition to its role with respect to the DIP Credit Agreement, the Reporting Persons may consider participating in transactions that are part of the Chapter 11 Cases, including as part of the Companys reorganization efforts and/or sales of significant Company assets. The Reporting Persons may also, at any time and from time to time, acquire additional securities of the Company, or retain or sell all or a portion of the securities then held, in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. In addition to the items described above in this Item 4, the Reporting Persons may take one or more other actions that relate to or would result in any other matter referenced in items (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D, alone or with others, including other shareholders or creditors of the Company or other appropriate parties, although the Reporting Persons may change their purpose or formulate different plans or proposals with respect thereto at any time.
