Item 1.02    Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.
On November 4, 2019, TransEnterix, Inc. (the "Company") entered into a payoff letter with Hercules Capital, Inc. ("Hercules") pursuant to which the Company terminated that certain Loan and Security Agreement, dated May 23, 2018, by and among the Company and its subsidiaries, the several banks and other financial institutions or entities from time to time parties thereto, and Hercules, in its capacity as administrative agent and collateral agent (collectively, the "Lender"), as amended from time to time (as amended, the "Hercules Loan Agreement") pursuant to which the Company had borrowed $15.0 million from the Lender through term loans. The Company believes that repaying its existing indebtedness under the Hercules Loan Agreement provides additional flexibility as the Board of Directors continues to explore strategic and financial alternatives for the Company.  Under the payoff letter, the Company repaid all amounts owed under the Hercules Loan Agreement totaling approximately $16.4 million, which included pre-payment fees of $1.4 million, and Hercules released all security interests held on the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, including, without limitation, on the intellectual property assets of the Company.
The Hercules Loan Agreement is fully terminated as of November 4, 2019.
On November 8, 2019, the Company issued a press release announcing the repayment of its existing indebtedness under the Hercules Loan Agreement. The full text of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
