Item 1.01.  Entry into Material Definitive Agreement.

On September 20, 2017, Cytori Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to its existing Loan and Security Agreement, dated May 29, 2015 (the “Loan Agreement”), with Oxford Finance LLC (“Oxford”), as collateral agent, and the lenders party thereto, including Oxford (the “Lenders”), pursuant to which, among other things, Oxford and the Lenders agreed to reduce the minimum liquidity covenant level from $5 million to $1.5 million.  The Amendment also extends the interest-only period under the Loan Agreement to January 1, 2018, with a further extension through August 1, 2018 if the Company receives unrestricted net cash proceeds of at least $5 million on or before December 29, 2017.

The Amendment requires that the Company pledge its intellectual property in favor of Oxford.  Such pledge will be released upon the Company achieving certain liquidity when the total principal outstanding under the Loan Agreement is less than $3 million.

The foregoing description of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment, which will be filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2017.
