Item 1.01. Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On February 3, 2006, Guided Therapeutics, Inc. ("GT"), a wholly owned subsidiary of SpectRx, Inc. ("SpectRx"), obtained a $1.5 million loan, made by about a dozen individuals and entities (the "Investors"). To evidence such borrowing, GT executed promissory notes (the "Notes") in favor of each of the Investors. Proceeds of the loan will be used by GT to fund its product development work and its general working capital needs, and to reimburse SpectRx for certain expenses incurred or to be incurred by it on behalf of GT. SpectRx continues to seek separate funding for GT. The interest rate on the Notes is 10% per annum and the Notes will mature on August 2, 2006, or the sooner occurrence of a GT financing (an "Additional Financing"). If an Additional Financing occurs prior to repayment of the Notes, the Investors will collectively receive warrants to purchase less than 1% of GT's common stock.
The entire principal amount of the Notes and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon will be immediately due and payable if an "Event of Default" (as defined in the Notes) occurs. GT's obligations under the Notes are guaranteed by SpectRx's wholly owned subsidiary, Sterling Medivations, Inc. doing business as Simple Choice. In order to secure GT's obligations under the Notes, Sterling has granted to the Investors a security interest in and lien on all of its assets.
The Investors include Susan M. Imhoff and John E. Imhoff, who have a pre-existing relationship with SpectRx, consisting of the beneficial ownership of an aggregate of approximately 31% of SpectRx's common stock.
Item 2.03. Creation of Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation Under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
The information reported above in Item 1.01 is incorporated into this Item 2.03 by reference.
