Intellia Secures Up to $400 Million Senior Secured Debt Facility With OrbiMed
On September 4, 2026, Intellia Therapeutics entered a five-year senior secured credit agreement with OrbiMed that provides up to $400 million, with $75 million drawn at closing. The remaining $325 million is available in tranches tied to FDA approval of lonvo-z, revenue targets and an equity fundraising target, plus an uncommitted $100 million that requires mutual agreement. The debt adds to Intellia's obligations, carries a floating-rate interest cost and is secured by substantially all of the company's assets, including its intellectual property.
Key points
- $75 million funded at closing on September 4, 2026; up to $325 million more available subject to milestones
- Loans bear interest at the greater of 3.00% or one-month SOFR plus 6.15%, and mature September 4, 2031
- Obligations secured on a first-priority basis by substantially all assets, including intellectual property
- Covenants require at least $50 million of liquidity in controlled accounts until FDA approves the lonvo-z BLA
