Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On December 28, 2012, Halozyme Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company") and its subsidiary, Halozyme, Inc., a California corporation, entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the "Loan Agreement") with Oxford Finance LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and Silicon Valley Bank, a California corporation, providing for a $30 million secured single-draw term loan facility with a maturity date of December 1, 2016. The term loan was fully drawn at close and the proceeds are to be used for working capital and general business requirements. The term loan facility is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and Halozyme, Inc., except that the collateral does not include any equity interests in Halozyme, Inc., any intellectual property (including all licensing, collaboration and similar agreements relating thereto), and certain other excluded assets. The term loan repayment schedule provides for interest only payments for the first year, followed by consecutive equal monthly payments of principal and interest in arrears starting in January 2014 and continuing through the maturity date. The Loan Agreement provides for a 7.55% interest rate on the term loans, a 1% facility fee that was paid at closing and a final payment equal to 8.5% of the initial principal amount of the term loans, which is due when the term loans become due or upon the prepayment of the facility.

The Loan Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants by the Company, as well as customary events of default and indemnification obligations of the Company. The foregoing description is only a summary of certain provisions of the Loan Agreement and is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the Loan Agreement, a copy of which will be filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.
