NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the three months ended June 30, 2021

(unaudited in thousands of Canadian dollars, except where indicated and per share amounts)

1.   ORGANIZATION

Just Energy Group Inc. (“Just Energy” or the “Company”) is a corporation established under the laws of Canada to hold securities of its directly or indirectly owned operating subsidiaries and affiliates. The registered office of Just Energy is First Canadian Place, 100 King Street West, Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements consist of Just Energy and its subsidiaries and affiliates. The Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements were approved by the Board of Directors on August 13, 2021.

In February 2021, the State of Texas experienced extremely cold weather (the “Weather Event”). The Weather Event led to increased electricity demand and sustained high prices from February 13, 2021 through February 20, 2021. As a result of the losses sustained and without sufficient liquidity to pay the corresponding invoices from the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, Inc. (“ERCOT”) when due, and accordingly, on March 9, 2021, Just Energy applied for and received creditor protection under the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (Canada) (“CCAA”) from the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List) (the “Ontario Court”) and under Chapter 15 (“Chapter 15”) of the Bankruptcy Code in the United States from the Bankruptcy Court of the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division (the “Court Orders”). Protection under the Court Orders allows Just Energy to operate while it restructures its capital structure.

As part of the CCAA filing, the Company entered into a USD$125 million Debtor-In-Possession (“DIP Facility”) financing with certain affiliates of Pacific Investment Management Company (“PIMCO). The Company entered into Qualifying Support Agreements with its largest commodity supplier and ISO services provider. The Company entered a Lender Support Agreement with the lenders under its Credit Facility (refer to Note 8(c)). The filings and associated USD$125 million DIP Facility arranged by the Company, enabled Just Energy to continue all operations without interruption throughout the U.S. and Canada and to continue making payments required by ERCOT and satisfy other regulatory obligations.

On May 26, 2021, the stay period was extended by the Ontario Court to September 30, 2021.

As at June 30, 2021, in connection with the CCAA proceedings, the Company identified the following obligations that are subject to compromise:

$

997,226

The common shares of the Company are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange, under the symbol “JE” and on the OTC Pink Market under the symbol “JENGQ”.

On June 16, 2021 Texas House Bill 4492 (“HB 4492”), which provides a mechanism for recovery of certain costs incurred by various parties, including the Company, during the Weather Event through certain securitization structures, became law in Texas. HB 4492 addresses securitization of (i) ancillary service charges above USD $9,000/MWh during the Weather Event; (ii) reliability deployment price adders charged by the ERCOT during the Weather Event; and (iii) amounts owed to ERCOT due to defaults of competitive market participants, which were subsequently “short-paid” to market participants, including Just Energy, (collectively, the “Costs”).

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the three months ended June 30, 2021

(unaudited in thousands of Canadian dollars, except where indicated and per share amounts)

HB 4492 provides that ERCOT request that the Public Utility Commission of Texas (the “Commission”) establish financing mechanisms for the payment of the Costs incurred by load-serving entities, including Just Energy. On July 16, 2021, ERCOT filed the request with the commission (PUC Docket No. 52322). The Company continues to evaluate HB 4492. Based on current information, if the Commission approves the financing provided for in HB 4492, Just Energy anticipates that it will recover up to approximately USD $100 million of Costs. The total amount that the Company may recover through the mechanisms authorized in HB 4492 may change materially based on a number of factors, including the details of an established financing order issued by the Commission, additional ERCOT resettlements, the aggregate amount of funds applied for under HB 4492 by participants, the outcome of the dispute resolution process initiated by the Company with ERCOT, and any potential challenges to the Commission’s order or orders. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to recover all of the Costs.

2.   OPERATIONS

Just Energy is a retail energy provider specializing in electricity and natural gas commodities and bringing energy efficient solutions, carbon offsets and renewable energy options to customers. Operating in the United States (“U.S.”) and Canada, Just Energy serves both residential and commercial customers, providing homes and businesses with a broad range of energy solutions that deliver comfort, convenience and control. Just Energy is the parent company of Amigo Energy, Filter Group Inc. (“Filter Group”), Hudson Energy, Interactive Energy Group, Tara Energy and terrapass.

Just Energy’s current commodity product offerings include fixed, variable, index and flat rate options. By fixing the price of electricity or natural gas under its fixed-price or price-protected program contracts for a period of up to five years, Just Energy’s customers offset their exposure to changes in the price of these essential commodities. Variable rate products allow customers to maintain competitive rates while retaining the ability to lock into a fixed price at their discretion. Flat-bill products allow customers to pay a flat rate each month regardless of usage. Just Energy derives its gross margin from the difference between the price at which it is able to sell the commodities to its customers and the related price at which it purchases the associated volumes from its suppliers.

Just Energy offers green products through terrapass and its JustGreen program. Green products offered through terrapass allow customers to offset their carbon footprint without buying energy commodity products and can be offered in all states and provinces without being dependent on energy deregulation. The JustGreen electricity product offers customers the option of having all or a portion of their electricity sourced from renewable green sources such as wind, solar, hydropower or biomass, via power purchase agreements and renewable energy certificates. The JustGreen gas product offers carbon offset credits that allow customers to reduce or eliminate the carbon footprint of their homes or businesses. Through the Filter Group, Just Energy provides subscription-based home water filtration systems to residential customers, including under-counter and whole-home water filtration solutions. Just Energy markets its product offerings through multiple sales channels including digital, retail, door-to-door, brokers and affinity relationships.

3.    FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION

(a)  Compliance with IFRS

These Interim Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), utilizing the accounting policies Just Energy outlined in its March 31, 2021 annual audited consolidated financial statements, except the adoption of new International Financial Reporting

2021 FIRST QUARTER REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS | JUST ENERGY

F-7.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the three months ended June 30, 2021

(unaudited in thousands of Canadian dollars, except where indicated and per share amounts)

Standards (“IFRS”). Accordingly, certain informa­tion and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual audited consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS, as issued by the IASB, have been omitted or condensed.

(b)  Basis of presentation and interim reporting

These Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with and follow the same accounting policies and methods of application as those used in the annual audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021.

The comparative Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been corrected from the interim statements previously presented to conform to the presentation of the current Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in Canadian dollars, the functional currency of Just Energy, and all values are rounded to the nearest thousands, except where otherwise indicated. The Interim Financial Statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, except for certain financial assets and liabilities that are stated at fair value.

The interim operating results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year ending March 31, 2022, due to seasonal variations resulting in fluctuations in quarterly results. Gas consumption by customers is typically highest in October through March and lowest in April through September. Electricity consumption is typically highest in January through March and July through September and lowest in October through December and April through June.

Principles of consolidation

The Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Just Energy and its directly or indirectly owned subsidiaries and affiliates as at June 30, 2021. Subsidiaries and affiliates are consolidated from the date of acquisition and control and continue to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases. The financial statements of the subsidiaries and affiliates are prepared for the same reporting period as Just Energy using consistent accounting policies. All intercompany balances, sales, expenses and unrealized gains and losses resulting from intercompany transactions are eliminated on consolidation.

Going Concern

Due to the Weather Event and associated CCAA filing, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the next 12 months is dependent on the Company emerging from CCAA protection, maintain liquidity and complying with DIP Facility covenants. The material uncertainties arising from the CCAA filings cast substantial doubt upon the Company's ability to continue as a going concern and, accordingly the ultimate appropriateness of the use of accounting principles applicable to a going concern. These Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not reflect the adjustments to carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported expenses and Interim Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position classifications that would be necessary if the going concern assumption was deemed inappropriate. These adjustments could be material. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in emerging from CCAA as a going concern.

(c)  Significant accounting judgments, estimates, and assumptions

The preparation of the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements requires the use of estimates and assumptions to be made in applying the accounting policies that affect the reported

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the three months ended June 30, 2021

amount of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and related assumptions based on previous experience and other factors are considered reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making the assumptions about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. There have been no material changes from the disclosures from the Company’s Audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2021 with respect to significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions.

(b)  Aging of accounts receivable

Customer credit risk

The lifetime expected credit loss reflects Just Energy’s best estimate of losses on the accounts receivable and unbilled revenue balances. Just Energy determines the lifetime ECL by using historical loss rates and forward-looking factors, if applicable. Just Energy is exposed to customer credit risk on its continuing operations in Alberta, Texas, Illinois (gas), California (gas) and Ohio (electricity). Credit review processes have been implemented to perform credit evaluations of customers and manage customer default. If a significant number of customers were to default on their payments, it could have a material adverse effect on the operations and cash flows of Just Energy. Management factors default from credit risk in its margin expectations for all of the above markets.

In the remaining markets, the LDCs provide collection services and assume the risk of any bad debts owing from Just Energy’s customers for a fee that is recorded in cost of goods sold. Although there is no assurance that the LDCs providing these services will continue to do so in the future, management believes that the risk of the LDCs failing to deliver payment to Just Energy is minimal.

The aging of the trade accounts receivable from the markets where the Company bears customer credit risk was as follows:

6.   FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

(a)  Fair value of derivative financial instruments and other

The fair value of financial instruments is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., an exit price). Management has estimated the value of financial swaps, physical forwards and option contracts for electricity, natural gas, carbon offsets and renewable energy certificates ("RECs"), and generation and transmission capacity contracts using a discounted cash flow method, which employs market forward curves that are either directly sourced from third parties or developed internally based on third-party market data. These curves can be volatile, thus leading to volatility in the mark to market with no immediate impact to cash flows. Gas options and green power options have been valued using the Black option pricing model using the applicable market forward curves and the implied volatility from other market traded options. Management periodically uses non-exchange-traded swap agreements based on cooling degree days (“CDDs”) and heating degree days (“HDDs”) measured in its utility service territories to reduce the impact of weather volatility on Just Energy’s electricity and natural gas volumes, commonly referred to as “weather derivatives”. The fair value of these swaps on a given measurement station indicated in the derivative contract is determined by calculating the difference between the agreed strike and expected variable observed at the same station.

Should any counterparty be unable to fulfill its obligations under the contracts, Just Energy may not be able to realize the financial assets’ balance recognized in the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Fair value (“FV”) hierarchy of derivatives

Level 1

The fair value measurements are classified as Level 1 in the FV hierarchy if the fair value is determined using quoted unadjusted market prices. Currently there are no derivatives carried in this level.

Level 2

Fair value measurements that require observable inputs other than quoted prices in Level 1, either directly or indirectly, are classified as Level 2 in the FV hierarchy. This could include the use of statistical

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the three months ended June 30, 2021

(unaudited in thousands of Canadian dollars, except where indicated and per share amounts)

techniques to derive the FV curve from observable market prices. However, in order to be classified under Level 2, significant inputs must be directly or indirectly observable in the market. Just Energy values its New York Mercantile Exchange (“NYMEX”) financial gas fixed-for-floating swaps under Level 2.

Level 3

Fair value measurements that require unobservable market data or use statistical techniques to derive forward curves from observable market data and unobservable inputs are classified as Level 3 in the FV hierarchy. For the electricity supply contracts, Just Energy uses quoted market prices as per available market forward data and applies a price-shaping profile to calculate the monthly prices from annual strips and hourly prices from block strips for the purposes of mark to market calculations. The profile is based on historical settlements with counterparties or with the system operator and is considered an unobservable input for the purposes of establishing the level in the FV hierarchy.

For the natural gas supply contracts, Just Energy uses three different market observable curves: (i) commodity (predominately NYMEX), (ii) basis and (iii) foreign exchange. NYMEX curves extend for over five years (thereby covering the length of Just Energy’s contracts); however, most basis curves extend only 12 to 15 months into the future. In order to calculate basis curves for the remaining years, Just Energy uses extrapolation, which leads natural gas supply contracts to be classified under Level 3.

Weather derivatives are non-exchange-traded financial instruments used as part of a risk management strategy to mitigate the impact adverse weather conditions have on gross margin. The fair values of the derivatives are determined using an internally developed model that relies upon both observable inputs and significant unobservable inputs. Accordingly, the fair values of these derivatives are classified as Level 3. Market and contractual inputs to these models vary by contract type and would typically include notional amounts, reference weather stations, strike prices, temperature strike values, terms to expiration, historical weather data and historical commodity prices. The historical weather data and commodity prices were utilized to value the expected payouts with respect to weather derivatives and, as a result, are the most significant assumptions contributing to the determination of fair value estimates, and changes in these inputs can result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement.

Just Energy’s accounting policy is to recognize transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy on the date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer.

Fair value measurement input sensitivity

The main cause of changes in the fair value of derivative instruments is changes in the forward curve prices used for the fair value calculations. Just Energy provides a sensitivity analysis of these forward curves under the “Market risk” section of this note. Other inputs, including volatility and correlations, are driven off historical settlements.

Commodity price sensitivity – Level 3 derivative financial instruments

If the energy prices associated with only Level 3 derivative financial instruments including natural gas, electricity, and RECs had risen (fallen) by 10%, assuming that all of the other variables had remained constant, profit from continuing operations before income taxes for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 would have increased (decreased) by $163.3 million ($158.2 million), primarily as a result of the change in fair value of Just Energy’s derivative financial instruments.

Key assumptions used when determining the significant unobservable inputs for all commodity supply contracts included in Level 3 of the FV hierarchy consist of up to 5% price extrapolation to calculate monthly prices that extend beyond the market observable 12- to 15-month forward curve.

The following table illustrates the changes in net fair value of financial assets (liabilities) classified as Level 3 in the FV hierarchy for the following periods:

(b)  Classification of non-derivative financial assets and liabilities

As at June 30, 2021 and March 31, 2021, the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, trade and other receivables, and trade and other payables approximates their fair value due to their short-term nature.

The risks associated with Just Energy’s financial instruments are as follows:

(i)Market risk

Market risk is the potential loss that may be incurred as a result of changes in the market or fair value of a particular instrument or commodity. Components of market risk to which Just Energy is exposed are discussed below.

Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency risk is created by fluctuations in the fair value or cash flows of financial instruments due to changes in foreign exchange rates and exposure as a result of investments in U.S. operations.

2021 FIRST QUARTER REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS | JUST ENERGY

F-14.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the three months ended June 30, 2021

(unaudited in thousands of Canadian dollars, except where indicated and per share amounts)

The performance of the Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollars could positively or negatively affect Just Energy’s Interim Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, as a significant portion of Just Energy’s profit or loss is generated in U.S. dollars and is subject to currency fluctuations upon translation to Canadian dollars. Due to its growing operations in the U.S., Just Energy expects to have a greater exposure to foreign currency fluctuations in the future than in prior years. Just Energy has a policy to economically hedge between 50% and 100% of forecasted cross-border cash flows that are expected to occur within the next 12 months and between 0% and 50% of certain forecasted cross border cash flows that are expected to occur within the following 13 to 24 months. The level of economic hedging is dependent on the source of the cash flows and the time remaining until the cash repatriation occurs.

Just Energy may, from time to time, experience losses resulting from fluctuations in the values of its foreign currency transactions, which could adversely affect its operating results. Translation risk is not hedged.

With respect to translation exposure, if the Canadian dollar had been 5% stronger or weaker against the U.S. dollar for the three months ended June 30, 2021, assuming that all the other variables had remained constant, the net profit for the three months ended June 30, 2021 would have been $17.3 million lower/higher and other comprehensive loss would have been $9.8 million lower/higher.

Interest rate risk

Just Energy is only exposed to interest rate fluctuations associated with its floating rate Credit Facility. Just Energy’s current exposure to interest rates does not economically warrant the use of derivative instruments. Just Energy’s exposure to interest rate risk is relatively immaterial and temporary in nature. Just Energy does not currently believe that its debt exposes the Company to material interest rate risks but has set out parameters to actively manage this risk within its risk management policy.

A 1% increase (decrease) in interest rates would have resulted in an increase (decrease) of approximately $0.7 million in profit from continuing operations before income taxes in the Interim Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the three months ended June 30, 2021 (June 30, 2020 $0.6 million).

Commodity price risk

Just Energy is exposed to market risks associated with commodity prices and market volatility where estimated customer requirements do not match actual customer requirements. Management actively monitors these positions on a daily basis in accordance with its risk management policy. This policy sets out a variety of limits, most importantly thresholds for open positions in the gas and electricity portfolios, which also feed a value at risk limit. Should any of the limits be exceeded, they are closed expeditiously or express approval to continue to hold is obtained. Just Energy’s exposure to market risk is affected by a number of factors, including accuracy of estimation of customer commodity requirements, commodity prices, volatility and liquidity of markets. Just Energy enters into derivative instruments in order to manage exposures to changes in commodity prices. The derivative instruments that are used are designed to fix the price of supply for estimated customer commodity demand and thereby fix margins. Derivative instruments are generally transacted over the counter. The inability or failure of Just Energy to manage and monitor the above market risks could have a material adverse effect on the operations and cash flows of Just Energy. Just Energy mitigates the exposure to variances in customer requirements that are driven by changes in expected weather conditions through active management of the underlying portfolio, which involves, but is not limited to, the purchase of options including weather derivatives. Just Energy’s ability to mitigate weather effects is limited by the degree to which weather conditions deviate from normal.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the three months ended June 30, 2021

(unaudited in thousands of Canadian dollars, except where indicated and per share amounts)

Commodity price sensitivity – all derivative financial instruments

If all the energy prices associated with derivative financial instruments including natural gas, electricity and RECs had risen (fallen) by 10%, assuming that all of the other variables had remained constant, profit from continuing operations before income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2021 would have increased (decreased) by $171.1 million ($165.5 million), primarily as a result of the change in fair value of Just Energy’s derivative financial instruments.

(ii)Physical supplier risk

Just Energy purchases the majority of the gas and electricity delivered to its customers through long-term contracts entered into with various suppliers. Just Energy has an exposure to supplier risk as the ability to continue to deliver gas and electricity to its customers is reliant upon the ongoing operations of these suppliers and their ability to fulfill their contractual obligations. 

(iii)Counterparty credit risk

Counterparty credit risk represents the loss that Just Energy would incur if a counterparty fails to perform under its contractual obligations. This risk would manifest itself in Just Energy replacing contracted supply at prevailing market rates, thus impacting the related customer margin. Counterparty limits are established within the risk management policy. Any exceptions to these limits require approval from the Risk Committee of the Board of Directors of Just Energy. The risk department and Risk Committee of the Board of Directors monitor current and potential credit exposure to individual counterparties and also monitor overall aggregate counterparty exposure. However, the failure of a counterparty to meet its contractual obligations could have a material adverse effect on the operations and cash flows of Just Energy.

As at June 30, 2021, Just Energy has applied an adjustment factor to determine the fair value of its financial instruments in the amount of $0.5 million (March 31, 2021  $1.1 million) to accommodate for its counterparties’ risk of default.

As at June 30, 2021, the estimated net counterparty credit risk exposure amounted to $258.4 million (March 31, 2021 – $35.6 million), representing the risk relating to Just Energy’s exposure to derivatives that are in an asset position.

borrowers under the DIP Facility and are supported by guarantees of certain subsidiaries and affiliates and secured by a super-priority charge against and attaching to the property that secures the obligations arising under the Credit Facility, created by the Court Order. The DIP Facility has an interest rate of 13%, paid quarterly in arrears. The DIP Facility terminates at the earlier of: (a) December 31, 2021, (b) the implementation date of the CCAA plan, (c) the lifting of the stay in the CCAA proceedings or (d) the termination of the CCAA proceedings. For consideration for making the DIP Facility available, Just Energy paid a 1% origination fee and a 1% commitment fee.
(b)Filter Group has a $3.8 million outstanding loan payable to Home Trust Company (“HTC”). The loan is a result of factoring receivables to finance the cost of rental equipment that matures no later than October 2023 with HTC and bears interest at 8.99% per annum. Principal and interest are payable monthly. Filter Group did not file under the CCAA and accordingly, the stay does not apply to Filter Group and any amounts outstanding under the loan payable to Home Trust Company.
(c)On March 18, 2021, Just Energy Ontario L.P, Just Energy (U.S.) Corp. and Just Energy Group Inc. entered into an Accommodation and Support Agreement (the “Lender Support Agreement”) with the lenders under the Credit Facility. Under the Lender Support Agreement, the lenders agreed to allow issuance or renewals of Letters of Credit under the Credit Facility during the pendency of the CCAA proceedings within certain restrictions. In return, the Company has agreed to continue paying interest and fees at the non-default rate on the outstanding advances and Letters of Credit under the Credit Facility. The amount of Letters of Credit that may be issued is limited to the lesser of $46.1 million (excluding the Letters of Credit guaranteed by Export Development Canada under its Account Performance Security Guarantee Program), plus any amount the Company has repaid and $125 million. As at June 30, 2021, the Company had repaid $62.0 million and had a total of $98.8 million of letters of Credit outstanding.

Certain amounts outstanding under the letter of Credit Facility (“LC Facility”) are guaranteed by Export Development Canada under its Account Performance Security Guarantee Program. Just Energy’s obligations under the Credit Facility are supported by guarantees of certain subsidiaries and affiliates and secured by a general security agreement and a pledge of the assets and securities of Just Energy and the majority of its operating subsidiaries and affiliates excluding, primarily the Filter Group. Just Energy has also entered into an inter-creditor agreement in which certain commodity and hedge providers are also secured by the same collateral. As a result of the CCAA filing, the borrowers are in default under the Credit Facility. However, any potential actions by the lenders have been stayed pursuant to the Court Order. As at June 30, 2021, the Company had $54.4 million of Letters of Credit outstanding and Letter of Credit capacity of $2.9 million available under the LC Facility.

The outstanding Advances are all Prime rate advances at a rate of bank prime (Canadian bank prime rate or U.S. prime rate) plus 4.25% and letters of credit are at a rate of 5.25%.

As at June 30, 2021, the Canadian prime rate was 2.45% and the U.S. prime rate was 3.25%.

As a result of the CCAA filing, the Credit Facility has been reclassified to short-term reflecting the potential acceleration of the debt allowed under the Credit Facility.

(d)As part of the September 2020 Recapitalization, Just Energy issued a USD $205.9 million principal note (the “10.25% Term Loan”) maturing on March 31, 2024. The note bears interest at 10.25%. The balance at June 30, 2021 includes an accrual of $13.4 million for interest payable on the notes. As a result of the CCAA filing, the Company is in default under the 10.25% Term Loan. However, any potential actions by the lenders under the 10.25% Term Loan have been stayed pursuant to the Court Order, and the Company is not issuing additional notes equal to the capitalized interest. Given this acceleration option, the 10.25% Term Loan has been classified as current.
(e)As part of the September 2020 Recapitalization, Just Energy issued $15 million principal amount of 7.0% subordinated notes (“Note Indenture”) to holders of the subordinated convertible debentures, which has a six-year maturity. The principal amount was reduced through a tender offer for no consideration on October 19, 2020 to $13.2 million. The Note Indenture bears an annual interest rate of 7.0% payable in kind. The balance at June 30, 2021 includes an accrual of $0.4 million for interest payable on the notes. As a result of the CCAA filing, the Company is in default under the Note Indenture’s Trust Indenture agreement. However, any potential actions by the lenders under the Note Indenture have been stayed pursuant to the Court Order and the Company is not issuing additional notes equal to the capitalized interest. Given this acceleration option, the Note Indenture has been classified as current.
(f)As part of the September 2020 Recapitalization, the 8.75% loan was exchanged for its pro-rata share of the Term Loan and 786,982 common shares. At the time of the September 2020 Recapitalization, the 8.75% loan had USD $207.0 million outstanding plus accrued interest.
(g)As part of the September 2020 Recapitalization, the 6.75% $100M convertible debentures were exchanged for 3,592,069 common shares along with its pro-rata share of the Note Indenture and the payment of accrued interest.
(h)As part of the September 2020 Recapitalization, the 6.75% $160M convertible debentures were exchanged for 5,747,310 common shares along with its pro-rata share of the Note Indenture and the payment of accrued interest.
(i)As part of the September 2020 Recapitalization, the 6.5% convertible bonds were exchanged for its pro-rata share of the Term Loan and 35,737 common shares. At the time of the September 2020 Recapitalization, $9.2 million of the 6.5% convertible bonds were outstanding plus accrued interest.

(b)  Legal proceedings

Just Energy’s subsidiaries are party to a number of legal proceedings. Other than as set out below, Just Energy believes that each proceeding constitutes legal matters that are incidental to the business conducted by Just Energy and that the ultimate disposition of the proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated earnings, cash flows or financial position.

On March 9, 2021, Just Energy filed for and received creditor protection pursuant to the Court Order under the CCAA and similar protection under Chapter 15 of the Bankruptcy Code in the United States in connection with the Weather Event.

In May 2015, Kia Kordestani, a former door-to-door independent contractor sales representative for Just Energy Corp., filed a lawsuit against Just Energy Corp., Just Energy Ontario L.P. and the Company (collectively referred to as “Just Energy”) in the Superior Court of Justice, Ontario, claiming status as an employee and seeking benefits and protections of the Employment Standards Act, 2000, such as minimum wage, overtime pay, and vacation and public holiday pay on his own behalf and similarly situated door-to-door sales representatives who sold in Ontario. On Just Energy’s request, Mr. Kordestani was removed as a plaintiff but replaced with Haidar Omarali, also a former door-to-door sales representative. On July 27, 2016, the Court granted Omarali’s request for certification, but refused to certify Omarali’s request for damages on an aggregate basis and refused to certify Omarali’s request for punitive damages. Omarali’s motion for summary judgment was dismissed in its entirety on June 21, 2019. The matter was set for trial in November 2021. However, pursuant to the CCAA proceedings, these proceedings have been stayed. Just Energy denies the allegations and will vigorously defend against these claims, if they proceed.

On July 23, 2019, Just Energy announced that, as part of its Strategic Review process, management identified customer enrolment and non-payment issues, primarily in Texas. In response to this announcement, and in some cases in response to this and other subsequent related announcements, putative class action lawsuits were filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas and in the Ontario Court, on behalf of investors that purchased Just Energy Group Inc. securities during various periods, ranging from November 9, 2017 through August 19, 2019. The U.S. lawsuits have been consolidated in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas with one lead plaintiff and the Ontario lawsuits have been consolidated with one lead plaintiff. The U.S. lawsuit seeks damages allegedly arising from violations of the United States Securities Exchange Act. The Ontario lawsuit seeks damages allegedly arising from violations of Canadian securities legislation and of common law. The Ontario lawsuit was subsequently amended to, among other things, extend the period to July 7, 2020. On September 2, 2020, pursuant to Just Energy’s plan of arrangement, the Superior Court of Justice (Ontario) ordered that all existing equity class action claimants shall be irrevocably and forever limited solely to recovery from the proceeds of the insurance policies payable on behalf of Just Energy or its directors and officers in respect of any such existing equity class action claims, and such existing equity class action claimants shall have no right to, and shall not, directly or indirectly, make any claim or seek any recoveries from any of the released parties or any of their respective current or former officers and directors in respect of any existing equity class action claims, other than enforcing their rights to be paid by the applicable insurer(s) from the proceeds of the applicable insurance policies. Pursuant to the CCAA proceedings, these proceedings have been stayed. Just Energy denies the allegations and will vigorously defend against these claims if they proceed.
