Inspire Korea Financing
Inspire Korea Credit Facility
On September 24, 2021, Inspire Korea entered into a loan agreement providing for a loan commitment of up to 1.04 trillion Korean won (“KRW”) in two tranches (the “Inspire Korea Credit Facility”), comprised of a 740.0 billion KRW credit facility (the “Tranche A Facility”) and a 300.0 billion KRW credit facility (the “Tranche B Facility”). The Inspire Korea Credit Facility is being used to pay for the construction, operation, financial and other project costs in connection with Inspire Korea (see Note 1). All obligations under the Inspire Korea Credit Facility are secured by liens on substantially all assets of, and equity interests in, Inspire Korea (subject to certain exceptions and limitations). The Inspire Korea Credit Facility matures 48 months after the date of the first draw, which was November 29, 2021.

Mandatory prepayments are required under the Inspire Korea Credit Facility in connection with certain specified asset dispositions or receipt of insurance proceeds, without a prepayment fee. The Inspire Korea Credit Facility may not be voluntarily prepaid in whole or in part until one year after the date of the first draw. After such date, any voluntary prepayment requires a prepayment fee as defined in the Inspire Korea Credit Facility agreement.
Loans outstanding under the Tranche A Facility bear interest at a fixed rate of 5.4% per annum or a floating rate equal to the sum of a base rate and an applicable margin (as defined in the Inspire Korea Credit Facility agreement). Loans outstanding under the Tranche B Facility bear interest at a fixed rate of 7.0% per annum or a floating rate equal to the sum of a base rate and
an applicable margin (as defined in the Inspire Korea Credit Facility agreement). The Inspire Korea Credit Facility includes an interest reserve whereby a portion of loan proceeds is reserved for payment of interest. Interest on Tranche A Facility loans is fully reserved and interest on Tranche B Facility loans is reserved for 36 months. If any portion of the Inspire Korea Credit Facility is undrawn, Inspire Korea is required to pay a 0.3% commitment fee on the undrawn amount.
The Inspire Korea Credit Facility contains certain customary covenants applicable to Inspire Korea, including covenants governing: incurrence of indebtedness, incurrence of liens, investments, mergers or consolidations, asset sales, acquisitions of assets, the payment of dividends and other distributions and affiliate transactions. In addition, the Inspire Korea Credit Facility includes other covenants, representations and warranties and events of default that are customary for financing transactions of this type.
In connection with the Inspire Korea Credit Facility, the Company entered into a credit enhancement support agreement to provide up to $100.0 million credit enhancement support for Inspire Korea’s payment of principal, interest and other sums due under the Inspire Korea Credit Facility.

The Company incurred $59.1 million in costs in connection with this transaction during fiscal 2022. These debt issuance costs were reflected as a debt discount and are being amortized over the term of the Inspire Korea Credit Facility using the effective interest method.
MGE Korea Term Loan
On November 4, 2021, MGE Korea Limited (“MGE Korea”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and parent company of Inspire Korea, entered into a $275.0 million secured term loan facility agreement (the “MGE Korea Term Loan”). MGE Korea received funding from the MGE Korea Term Loan on November 24, 2021 (the “Utilisation Date”). The MGE Korea Term Loan was primarily used to make a capital contribution to Inspire Korea in order to partially fund construction-related costs for Inspire Korea. The MGE Korea Term Loan matures 66 months after the Utilisation Date.
The MGE Korea Term Loan bears payment-in-kind interest at a rate of 17.0% per annum, to be compounded and capitalized at the end of each quarter, or paid in cash if so elected by MGE Korea.
If the MGE Korea Term Loan is voluntarily prepaid, if certain mandatory prepayment events are triggered or if it is repaid following a notice of acceleration, MGE Korea must pay a prepayment fee (as defined in the MGE Korea Term Loan agreement). The MGE Korea Term Loan is secured by a fixed charge over 100% of MGE Korea’s share capital and a debenture over the assets of MGE Korea (subject to certain exceptions and limitations).
The MGE Korea Term Loan contains certain customary covenants, including covenants governing: incurrence of indebtedness, incurrence of liens, payment of dividends and other distributions, disposals, acquisitions and investments, arm’s length transactions, mergers and the development and management of Inspire Korea. In addition, the MGE Korea Term Loan includes financial maintenance covenants pertaining to net leverage and debt service coverage of MGE Korea and Inspire Korea, and contains a requirement that Inspire Korea maintain a minimum cash balance in the amounts set forth in the MGE Korea Term Loan. The MGE Korea Term Loan also contains customary events of default relating to, among other things, failure to make payments, breach of covenants and breach of representations.
The Company incurred $10.0 million in costs in connection with the MGE Korea Term Loan during fiscal 2022. These debt issuance costs were capitalized and are being amortized over the term of the MGE Korea Term Loan. In addition, the allocation of proceeds to the issuance of warrants and associated put option (see below) resulted in an original issue discount on the MGE Korea Term Loan of $84.8 million, which will also be amortized over the term of the MGE Korea Term Loan using the effective interest method.
MGE Korea Warrant Agreement
In connection with the MGE Korea Term Loan, on November 4, 2021, MGE Korea Holding III Limited (“MGE Korea Holding III”), the parent company of MGE Korea, entered into a warrant agreement (the “Warrant Agreement”) to issue detachable warrants (the “Warrants”). The Warrants can be converted into up to a total of 4,400 shares of capital in MGE Korea Holding III at an initial exercise price of $0.01 per share. At the time of issuance, the Warrants represented 22.0% of the fully-diluted share capital of MGE Korea Holding III.
The Warrants are generally exercisable at any time after the third anniversary of the Utilisation Date (November 2024) until the tenth anniversary of the Utilisation Date (November 2031), but may be exercised earlier upon certain triggering events defined in the Warrant Agreement. Upon the earlier of (i) the tenth anniversary of the Utilisation Date (November 2031) and (ii) the consummation of an Exit Event (as defined in the Warrant Agreement), all unexercised Warrants will expire.
Warrant holders do not have any rights held by holders of shares in the capital of MGE Korea Holding III to vote or to receive dividends and other distributions (other than as set forth in the Warrant Agreement). Warrant holders and shareholders of MGE Korea Holding III have certain preemptive rights in relation to any proposed issuance of equity securities by MGE Korea Holding III or certain affiliates (as defined in the Warrant Agreement), subject to customary exceptions.
Holders of unexercised Warrants have the right to require the parent of MGE Korea Holding III (the “Parent”) to purchase all of the unexercised Warrants that they hold at certain relevant times (the “Put Option”). In turn, the Parent has the right to require the holders of unexercised Warrants to sell all of the unexercised Warrants they hold at certain relevant times (the “Call Option”). Both the Put Option and the Call Option are exercisable at any time in the period from (and including) the date six years and six months after the Utilisation Date (May 2028) until the tenth anniversary of the Utilisation Date (November 2031). The aggregate cash purchase price for both the Put Option and the Call Option equals the higher of: (i) the fair market value of the relevant unexercised Warrants and (ii) $110.0 million, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of the relevant unexercised Warrants and the denominator of which is the total number of Warrants.
The Warrants and the Put Option are classified as long-term liabilities and are re-measured at their estimated fair values at each reporting date. The estimated fair value of the Warrants and the Put Option was determined by utilizing the income approach (discounted cash flow method) and a binomial lattice model. This valuation approach utilized Level 3 inputs. The primary unobservable inputs utilized were the discount rate, which was 10.5%, and the expected volatility of the underlying stock price, which was 50.0%.
Debt issuance costs incurred during fiscal 2022 and allocated to the Warrants and the Put Option totaling $4.2 million were expensed on the Utilisation Date and recorded within Corporate costs and expenses.
