Item 2.04 Triggering Events that Accelerate or Increase a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation Under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement.
On June 30, 2015, Amedica Corporation (the “Company”) received written notice from Hercules Technology Growth Capital, Inc. (“Hercules”) that an event of default has occurred with respect to that certain Loan and Security Agreement dated as of June 30, 2014 (the “Loan and Security Agreement”) by and between Hercules in its capacity as administrative and collateral agent, the parties who are lenders thereunder, Amedica Corporation, and US Spine, Inc. (the “Hercules Notice”). The Hercules Notice provides that the notice was transmitted solely for informational purposes at this time and that Hercules reserves all of its rights under the Loan and Security Agreement. Hercules has not accelerated or demanded any payment at this time. A description of the Loan and Security Agreement and related agreements is contained in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 1, 2014, which report is incorporated herein by reference.

The Hercules Notice indicates that an event of default has occurred as the result of, without limitation, that certain Event of Default Redemption Notice dated June 18, 2015 transmitted by MG Partners II Ltd. (“Magna”) to the Company (the “Magna Notice”). The Company previously disclosed the receipt of the Magna Notice in a Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 25, 2015. The Company disagrees with Magna’s claims that an event of default has occurred and asserts that no event of default has occurred or is continuing, and consequently the demand for payment is invalid. The Company has invited Magna to immediately reconsider and to rescind its Notice of Default and request for payment.

Exhibit 99.1
Amedica Corporation Provides Update on FDA Inquiries and Femoral Head Testing Protocol Feedback


SALT LAKE CITY, July 7, 2015 -- Amedica Corporation (Nasdaq:AMDA), a company that develops and commercializes silicon nitride ceramics as a biomaterial platform, today announced that responses to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) inquiries regarding the Company’s cervical composite silicon nitride interbody device were submitted to the FDA on June 30, 2015. Additionally, the Company has received feedback from the FDA regarding its wear testing femoral head protocols.

Submission for 510(k) clearance of the Valeo C Interbody with CsC Osteo-Conductive Scaffolding ("Valeo C CsC"), which was submitted in the first quarter of 2015, relates to the Company’s CASCADE clinical trial of its composite silicon nitride spinal interbody devices. Since submission, the Company received a list of questions from the FDA requesting additional information pertaining to the product’s clinical performance data, as well as indications for use and device description. The Company has responded to the questions and now awaits clearance of the Class II medical device for commercial distribution or additional communication from the FDA.

“After successfully completing an important surveillance audit with no non-conformities being identified, we’ve submitted responses to the FDA questions regarding our composite silicon nitride device,” said Dr. Sonny Bal, chairman and CEO of Amedica Corporation. “Our submission starts the clock once again with the FDA, and we remain hopeful for a final response during the third quarter of this year. As sales momentum of this unique device continues to build in Europe, we look forward to beginning domestic shipments as soon as we achieve clearance.”

“We also received very constructive feedback on our proposed wear testing protocol and have a clearer understanding of the pathway to market for our silicon nitride femoral heads in the U.S.,” continued Dr. Bal. “The comments by the FDA will ensure that the testing of our material, as compared to other ceramic predicate devices on the market, will meet or exceed existing testing standards. Silicon nitride is the toughest, most fracture resistant, chemically stable bioceramic available today. We look forward to a direct comparison to all other femoral head materials, which is slated to begin later this year, to confirm our claim that silicon nitride is the ideal biomaterial of choice.”
