Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
Since January 1, 2001, Hybridon has entered into or has been engaged in the following transactions with the following Hybridon directors, officers, stockholders who beneficially owned more than 5% of the outstanding Common Stock (5% Stockholders) of Hybridon at the time of these transactions and affiliates or immediate family members of those directors, officers and 5% Stockholders. Hybridon believes that the terms of the transactions described below were no less favorable than Hybridon could have obtained from unaffiliated third parties.
$6.0 Million Loan Arrangement
During 1998, the Company entered into a $6.0 million loan arrangement with several lenders, including several 5% Stockholders. The terms of the loan were as follows: (i) the maturity date was November 30, 2003; (ii) the interest rate was 8%; (iii) interest was payable monthly in arrears, with the principal due in full at maturity of the loan; (iv) the loan was convertible, at the holders option, in whole or in part, into shares of common stock at a conversion price equal to $2.40 per share; and (v) the loan required minimum liquidity, as defined, of $2.0 million.
On March 28, 2001, the Company entered into an agreement with the lenders pursuant to which it agreed to pay $3.0 million to the lenders in partial payment of the principal amount outstanding under the loan. In addition, the Company deposited $821,250 in a restricted account for the purpose of securing the payment of the balance remaining on the loan. The Company entered into this arrangement in order to encourage the lenders to release their security interest in the shares of MethylGene Inc. held by Hybridon so that Hybridon could sell such shares to third parties. In addition, the Company agreed to reduce the conversion price of the loan from $2.40 per share to $1.50 per share upon completion of the sale of 60% of the Companys holdings in MethlyGene. The Company also agreed to further reduce the conversion price from $1.50 per share to $0.50 per share if the balance of the loan was not paid in full by the Company before September 30, 2001. On September 27, 2001, the Company paid off the remaining $3.0 million to the lenders in full satisfaction of the loan. The $821,250 deposited in the restricted account to secure the loan was released to the Company.
The following table sets forth the principal amounts originally loaned to the Company by 5% Stockholders and the amounts repaid by the Company to those 5% Stockholders in 2001, including interest paid:

Early Exercise Program
In 2001, the Company conducted an early exercise program (the Early Exercise Program) under which it exchanged its Common Stock for Series B Preferred Stock, several classes of its warrants and a portion of its remaining 8% Notes in order to simplify the Companys capital structure and to reduce the number of outstanding securities which are exercisable for or convertible into shares of its Common Stock. The Company offered the holders of its Series B Preferred Stock the right to convert such shares into Common Stock at a lower conversion price than that set forth in the Certificate of Designation governing the terms of the Series B Preferred Stock. The Company offered the holders of various warrants the opportunity to immediately exercise their warrants for the purchase of shares covered by such warrants at a reduced exercise price, either by paying the lower exercise price for such shares in cash or by engaging in a cashless transaction, whereby they could receive a reduced number of shares of Common Stock in exchange for warrants of equivalent value. The value of the warrants was determined by the Company based on advice from the Companys investment bankers. The Company offered the holders of its remaining 8% Notes the opportunity to exchange the 8% Notes for shares of the Companys Common Stock at a reduced conversion price. As of December 31, 2001, the results of the program were as follows:
All holders of the Companys Series B Preferred Stock exchanged their shares of Series B Preferred Stock for 19,564,500 shares of the Companys Common Stock, including the following directors, executive officers and 5% Stockholders of the Company, and affiliates thereof:
