• $55M Preferred Stock Financing

  A Securities Purchase Agreement was signed to sell 55,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock for $55 million, consisting of $15 million in cash and the conversion of $40 million of existing debt. The preferred stock carries an 8% dividend, a liquidation preference, and converts at $0.50 per share (subject to reverse split adjustment).

• Warrant Restructuring

  Investors received 15.3 million new penny warrants exercisable at $0.01 per share for 7 years. Simultaneously, 27.6 million existing warrants with exercise prices between $1.25 and $1.68 were cancelled, contingent on closing.

• Debt Covenant Relief and Additional Liquidity

  Amendment No. 3 to the Financing Agreement provides a covenant holiday through December 31, 2027, modifies minimum liquidity requirements, and adds a $5 million Delayed Draw Term Loan facility. The revolving facility was converted to an asset-based structure.

• Governance Overhaul and Board Control

  Two directors resigned, reducing the board to seven members. TCW gained the right to designate two directors and have representation on key board committees. The company must obtain TCW consent for major actions, including issuing senior securities or changing board size.

Facing a delisting warning, material weaknesses, and withdrawn guidance, Accuray has secured a $55 million financing package from existing lenders. The arrangement delivers $15 million in fresh cash and converts $40 million of debt into preferred stock, immediately reducing leverage. In return, investors receive 15.3 million penny warrants while 27.6 million higher-priced warrants are cancelled, and they gain significant governance rights—including two board seats and veto power over major decisions. The transaction hinges on a reverse stock split and shareholder approval. If approved, it provides a critical liquidity runway and a covenant holiday through 2027, but at the cost of substantial dilution and ceding control to TCW. Should shareholder approval fail, the $15 million cash becomes additional debt with a $15 million penalty fee, worsening the balance sheet.
