Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

As previously reported, on February 21, 2017, BioDelivery Sciences International, Inc. (the “Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Arius Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Arius”) and Arius Two, Inc. (collectively with Arius, the “Subsidiary Guarantors”), entered into a Term Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with CRG Servicing LLC, as administrative agent and collateral agent (“CRG”), and the lenders named in the Loan Agreement (the “Lenders”). The description of the general terms, conditions and covenants of and under the Loan Agreement and the security granted by the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors thereunder are described in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 27, 2017, which description is incorporated herein by reference.

Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, the Company initially borrowed $45 million from the Lenders and is eligible to borrow up to an additional $30.0 million in two tranches of $15.0 million, with each tranche contingent upon achievement by the Company of certain conditions, including, in the case of the first tranche, representing the second potential draw of $15.0 million under the Loan Agreement (the “Second Draw”), satisfying both (a) certain minimum net revenue thresholds on or before September 30, 2017 or December 31, 2017 and (b) a certain minimum market capitalization threshold for a period of time prior to the funding of the Second Draw.

On December 26, 2017, the Company was eligible, and elected, to receive in the Second Draw for gross proceeds of $15.0 million. In connection with the Second Draw, the Company issued to CRG and certain of its affiliates warrants to purchase an aggregate of 349,452 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “CRG Second Draw Warrants”). The CRG Second Draw Warrants are exercisable any time prior to December 26, 2027, at a price of $3.42 per share, with typical provisions for cashless exercise and stock-based anti-dilution protection. The exercise of the CRG Second Draw Warrants could have a dilutive effect to the Company’s common stock to the extent that the market price per share of the Company’s common stock, as measured under the terms of the CRG Second Draw Warrants, exceeds the exercise price of the CRG Warrants.

Copies of the Loan Agreement, the form of security agreement thereunder and the form of Warrant (on which the CRG Second Draw Warrants are based) are attached as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2 and 4.1, respectively on the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on February 27, 2017, and are incorporated herein by reference.
