Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Entry into Term Loan Agreement

On December 15, 2017, Accuray Incorporated (the “Company”) entered into a credit and security agreement (the “Term Loan Agreement”) by and among the Company, as borrower, TomoTherapy Incorporated, a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, as borrower (“TomoTherapy,” and together with the Company, the “Borrowers”), any additional borrower that may be added thereto, MidCap Financial Trust (“MidCap”), individually as a lender and as agent, and the other lenders from time to time parties thereto.

The Term Loan Agreement provides for an initial term loan of $40 million, which was funded on December 15, 2017, with an additional tranche of $20 million, which may be borrowed if specified conditions are met on or prior to December 31, 2018 (together, the Term Loan Facility”). The Company used a portion of the net proceeds from the initial advance under the Term Loan Facility to repay a portion of the outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Facility (as defined and described below).

Interest on the borrowings under the Term Loan Facility is payable monthly in arrears at an annual interest rate of reserve-adjusted, 90-day LIBOR (subject to a 1.00% floor) plus 6.75%. Principal of borrowings under the Term Loan Facility is payable in 36 equal monthly installments beginning on January 1, 2020. The amortization of the principal amount may be recalculated for 24 equal monthly installments beginning on January 1, 2021 if certain net revenue targets are met and no event of default under the Term Loan Facility has occurred and is continuing. The Term Loan Facility’s stated maturity date is December 15, 2022, but the Term Loan Facility may mature earlier than the stated maturity date if certain conditions set forth in the Term Loan Agreement are not met, including conditions related to the Company’s two series of convertible notes maturing February 1, 2018 and the Company’s convertible notes due 2022.

If all or a portion of any advance under the Term Loan Facility is prepaid, subject to certain exceptions, the Company will be required to pay a fee equal to 3% of the prepayment amount if such termination occurs within the first year of the funding of such advance, 2% of the prepayment amount if such termination occurs within the second year, and 1% of the prepayment amount if such termination occurs within the third year.

Amendment of Revolving Credit Agreement

On December 15, 2017, the Company also entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) of its credit and security agreement dated as of June 14, 2017 (as so amended, the “Revolving Credit Agreement”) by and among the Borrowers, any additional borrower that may be added thereto, Midcap Funding IV Trust (“Midcap Funding”), individually as a lender and as agent (the “Revolving Agent”), and the other lenders from time to time parties thereto (together with MidCap Funding as a lender, the “Revolving Lenders”).  The Revolving Credit Agreement initially provided for a revolving credit facility in the initial amount of $52 million, which the Company could request be increased by up to $33 million (the “Revolving Facility”).  The Amendment, among other things, reduces the Revolving Facility to $32 million, of which $29 million was outstanding as of December 15, 2017 (after giving effect to the repayment of a portion of the outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Facility with a portion of the net proceeds of the advance under the Term Loan Facility) and eliminates the potential $33 million increase of the Revolving Facility. Availability for borrowings under the Revolving Facility is subject to a borrowing base that is calculated as a function of the value of the Borrowers’ eligible accounts receivable and eligible inventory, and the Borrowers are required to maintain a minimum drawn balance of at least 30% of such availability.

The Amendment extends the Revolving Facility’s stated maturity date to December 15, 2022, but the Revolving Facility may mature earlier than the stated maturity date if certain conditions set forth in the Revolving Credit Agreement are not met, including conditions related to the Company’s two series of convertible notes maturing February 1, 2018 and the Company’s convertible notes due 2022.

Interest on the borrowings under the Revolving Facility is payable monthly in arrears at an annual interest rate of reserve-adjusted, 90-day LIBOR (subject to a 1.00% floor) plus 4.50%. The Revolving Credit Agreement requires the Borrowers to pay the Revolving Agent a collateral management fee of 0.10% per month on the outstanding balance of the Facility. The Revolving Credit Agreement also requires the Borrowers to pay the Revolving Lenders an unused line fee equal to 0.5% per annum of the average unused portion of the Revolving Facility. If all or a portion of the Revolving Lenders’ funding obligations under the Revolving Credit Agreement, after giving effect to the Amendment, terminate for any reason other than as a result of a refinancing of 100% of the loans made under the Revolving Facility by the Revolving Agent and the Revolving Lenders, then the Company will be required to pay a fee equal to 3% of the commitment amount terminated if such termination occurs within the first year of the effective date of the Amendment, 2% of the commitment amount terminated if such termination occurs within the second year, and 1% of the commitment amount terminated if such termination occurs after the second year.

Exhibit 99.1

Accuray Enters into $40 Million Term Loan; Company Intends to Retire Principal Amount of February 2018 Convertible Notes with Cash at Maturity

Company Also Modifies Revolving Loan Agreement

SUNNYVALE, Calif., December 21, 2017 — Accuray Incorporated (NASDAQ: ARAY) announced today it closed a new $40 million term loan with MidCap Financial Trust while concurrently reducing the borrowing facility under its existing revolving loan with MidCap by $20 million. The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the term loan, combined with existing cash on hand, to retire the $40 million aggregate principal amount of its 3.50% convertible senior notes and 3.50% Series A convertible senior notes due February 1, 2018.

“This transaction raises an additional $20 million in available funds that we intend to use in conjunction with $20 million on our balance sheet to retire the aggregate principal amount of our February 2018 convertible notes while reducing potential underlying shareholder dilution,” said Kevin Waters, Chief Financial Officer.  “We will have lowered our overall convertible note exposure from $215 million two years ago to $85 million after retiring the remaining February 2018 convertible notes. This new agreement with MidCap Financial Trust along with projected operating income gives us the flexibility to achieve our strategic objectives.”

The new term loan bears interest at 90-day LIBOR (subject to a 1.00% floor) plus 675 basis points with a final maturity date of December 2022. The Company has the option to draw upon an additional $20 million from MidCap, subject to the terms of the agreement.

Accuray had approximately $94 million of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and investments at September 30, 2017.
