(JGB), which is structured to provide up to $135 million in borrowing capacity, available in nine tranches. The amendment adjusted the principal balance payable at maturity for the notes to be issued in the second tranche to $10.5 million ($975,000 of original issue discount) and the conversion price for the second tranche notes to a price of $1.66 per share, and accelerated the issuance of the second tranche to January 28, 2022. In addition, pursuant to the amendment, ObsEva will issue warrants to purchase 1,018,716 common shares at an exercise price of $1.87 per share in connection with the second tranche.
