The carrying amounts of the 2013 Term Loan Facility due September 2020, the 6.00% Senior Notes due November 2018, the 6.50% Senior Notes due September 2020, the 6.25% Senior Notes due November 2021, the 10.00% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due March 2022 (the Senior Secured Second Lien Notes), the 7.875% Senior Notes due November 2026, the Convertible Junior Subordinated Debentures due December 2066 (the Debentures) and the DIP Term Loan Facility (as defined below) have been presented above net of the respective unamortized debt issuance costs and original issue discounts, as applicable.
The Company's consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2015 were prepared under a going concern opinion, and as such, all of its long-term debt with the exception of the Debentures was classified as current. As of June 30, 2016, all of the Company's long-term debt with the exception of the DIP Term Loan Facility (as defined below) and certain other debt arrangements was recorded in “Liabilities subject to compromise” in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The DIP Term Loan Facility (as defined below) and certain other debt arrangements were recorded in “Current portion of long-term debt” in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2016.
During the first quarter of 2016, the Company borrowed $947.0 million under the $1.65 billion revolving credit facility (as amended, the 2013 Revolver) for general corporate purposes. As of the Petition Date, the Company had approximately $675 million letters of credit outstanding on the 2013 Revolver.  Subsequent to the Petition Date, certain counterparties drew on a portion of those letters of credit.  The letters of credit were in place to support various types of obligations, though the most significant items related to bank guarantees in place for certain reclamation obligations in Australia.  The draws required the recording of previously off-balance sheet liabilities, except in certain instances where the Company had previously recorded a liability, and as such have been reflected as additional borrowings under the 2013 Revolver.  The total of such letters of credit was $263.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2016. "Investments and other assets" in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2016 includes $229.2 million of collateral in support of certain of these obligations.
As a result of filing the Bankruptcy Petitions on April 13, 2016, as discussed in Note 1. "Basis of Presentation", the Company is in default under the 2013 Credit Facility and as such the 2013 Revolver can no longer be utilized.
Additional information regarding the Company's current and long-term debt is outlined in Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.
The filing of the Bankruptcy Petitions constituted an event of default that accelerated Peabody’s obligations under the following debt instruments (collectively, the “Debt Instruments”):
Indenture governing $1,000.0 million outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 10.00% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2022, dated as of March 16, 2015, among the Company, U.S. Bank National Association (“U.S. Bank”), as trustee and collateral agent, and the guarantors named therein;
Indenture governing $650.0 million outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 6.50% Senior Notes due 2020, dated as of March 19, 2004, among the Company, U.S. Bank and the guarantors named therein, as supplemented;
Indenture governing $1,518.8 million outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 6.00% Senior Notes due 2018, dated as of November 15, 2011, among the Company, U.S. Bank and the guarantors named therein;
Indenture governing $1,339.6 million outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 6.25% Senior Notes due 2021, dated as of November 15, 2011, by and among the Company, U.S. Bank and the guarantors named therein;
Indenture governing $250.0 million outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 7.875% Senior Notes due 2026, dated as of March 19, 2004, among the Company, U.S. Bank and the guarantors named therein, as supplemented;
Subordinated Indenture governing $732.5 million outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Company’s Convertible Junior Subordinated Debentures due 2066, dated as of December 20, 2006, among the Company and U.S. Bank, as supplemented; and
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, as amended and restated as of September 24, 2013 (the 2013 Credit Facility), related to $1,170.0 million outstanding aggregate principal amount of term loans under the 2013 Term Loan Facility and $1,650.0 million in the 2013 Revolver which includes approximately $675 million of posted but undrawn letters of credit and approximately $947 million in outstanding borrowings, by and among the Company, Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent, swing line lender and letter of credit (L/C) issuer, Citigroup Global Markets, Inc., Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, BNP Paribas Securities Corp., Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank, HSBC Securities (USA) Inc., Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., PNC Capital Markets LLC and RBS Securities Inc., as joint lead arrangers and joint book managers, and the lender parties thereto, as amended by that certain Omnibus Credit Agreement, dated as of February 5, 2015.
During March 2016, the Company elected to exercise the 30-day grace period with respect to a $21.1 million semi-annual interest payment due March 15, 2016 on the 6.50% Senior Notes due September 2020 and a $50.0 million semi-annual interest payment due March 15, 2016 on the Senior Secured Second Lien Notes. The Company elected to allow the grace period to lapse without making the interest payments.
As a result of the filing of the Bankruptcy Petitions, all unpaid principal and accrued and unpaid interest related to the Company's Debt Instruments due thereunder became immediately due and payable.  Any efforts to enforce such payment obligations under the Debt Instruments are automatically stayed as a result of the Bankruptcy Petitions, and the creditors’ rights of enforcement in respect of the Debt Instruments are subject to the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.
The Company is also required to pay monthly adequate protection payments to the First Lien Secured Parties in accordance with the rates defined in the 2013 Credit Facility. The adequate protection payments were recorded as "Interest expense" in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations, which totaled $26.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016.
The Company has not recorded interest expense on the 6.00% Senior Notes due November 2018, the 6.50% Senior Notes due September 2020, the 6.25% Senior Notes due November 2021, the Debentures, the Senior Secured Second Lien Notes or the 7.875% Senior Notes due November 2026 since the filing of the Bankruptcy Petitions on the Petition Date. The Company's contractual interest obligation was $139.5 million and $265.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively; however, $80.5 million of interest expense was automatically stayed during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, in accordance with Section 502(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code.
DIP Financing
On the Petition Date, the Debtors also filed a motion (the DIP Motion) seeking authorization to use cash collateral and to approve financing (the DIP Financing) under that certain Superpriority Secured Debtor-In-Possession Credit Agreement (the DIP Credit Agreement) by and among the Company as borrower, Peabody Global Funding, LLC, formally known as the Global Center for Energy and Human Development and certain Debtors party thereto as guarantors (the Guarantors and together with the Company, the Loan Parties), the lenders party thereto (the DIP Lenders) and Citibank, N.A. as Administrative Agent (in such capacity, the DIP Agent) and L/C Issuer. The DIP Credit Agreement provides for (i) a term loan not to exceed $500 million (the DIP Term Loan Facility), of which $200 million was made available upon entry of an interim order, the remaining $300 million pending the entry of the final order approving the DIP Credit Agreement (the Final Order), secured by substantially all of the assets of the Loan Parties, subject to certain excluded assets and carve outs and guaranteed by the Loan Parties (other than the Company), which would be used for working capital and general corporate purposes, to cash collateralize letters of credit and to pay fees and expenses, (ii) a cash collateralized letter of credit facility in an amount up to $100 million (the L/C Facility), and (iii) a bonding accommodation facility in an amount up to $200 million consisting of (x) a carve-out from the collateral with superpriority claim status, subject only to the fees carve-out, entitling the authority making any bonding request to receive proceeds of collateral first in priority before distribution to any DIP Lender or other prepetition secured creditor, except for letters of credit issued under the DIP Credit Agreement and/or (y) a letter of credit facility (the Bonding L/C Facility). The aggregate face amount of all letters of credit issued under the L/C Facility and the Bonding L/C Facility shall not at any time exceed $50 million without DIP Lender consent.
The DIP Credit Agreement includes covenants that, subject to certain exceptions, require the Company to maintain certain minimum thresholds of liquidity and consolidated EBITDA and to not exceed a certain maximum capital spend, and limit the ability of the Company and the Guarantors to, among other things: (i) make dispositions of material leases and contracts, (ii) make acquisitions, loans or investments, (iii) create liens on their property, (iv) dispose of assets, (v) incur indebtedness, (vi) merge or consolidate with third parties, (vii) enter into transactions with affiliated entities, and (viii) make material changes to their business activities.
In addition to customary events of default, the DIP Credit Agreement contains the following milestones relating to the Chapter 11 Cases certain of which milestones have been modified as reflected below pursuant to amendments to the DIP Credit Agreement entered into since the Petition Date, the failure of which, if not cured, amended or waived, would result in an event of default:
not later than 120 days following the Petition Date, delivery of the U.S. Business Plan and the Australian Business Plan;
not later than the earlier to occur of (i) the date that is three business days following the entry of the Final Order and (ii) the date that is 45 days following the Petition Date, a declaratory judgment action shall be commenced by the Company (without prejudice to the rights of any party-in-interest to commence such a declaratory judgment action or any other proceeding) seeking a determination of the Principal Property Cap (including the amount thereof) and which of the U.S. Mine complexes are Principal Properties (the CNTA Issues), and not later than 181 days following the Petition Date of the Chapter 11 Cases, the Bankruptcy Court shall have entered an order determining the CNTA Issues (the CNTA Order Date);

“Acceptable Reorganization Plan” means a reorganization plan that (i) provides for the termination of the commitments and the payment in full in cash of the obligations under the DIP Credit Agreement (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claims have been asserted) on the consummation date of such reorganization plan and (ii) provides for customary releases of the DIP Agent, the DIP Lenders and the L/C Issuer and each of their respective representatives, from any and all claims against the DIP Agent, the DIP Lenders and the DIP L/C Issuer in connection with the DIP Credit Agreement or the cases to the fullest extent permitted by the Bankruptcy Code and applicable law.
On April 15, 2016, the Bankruptcy Court issued an order approving the DIP Motion on an interim basis and authorizing the Loan Parties to, among other things, (i) enter into the DIP Credit Agreement and initially borrow up to $200 million, (ii) obtain a cash collateralized letter of credit facility in the aggregate amount of up to $100 million, and (iii) an accommodation facility for bonding requests in an aggregate stated amount of up to $200 million. On April 18, 2016, the Company entered into the DIP Credit Agreement with the DIP Lenders and borrowed $200 million under the DIP Term Loan Facility. On May 17, 2016, the Bankruptcy Court approved the DIP Financing on a final basis and entered an order to that effect on May 18, 2016. On May 19, 2016, following entry of the Final Order, the Company borrowed the remaining $300 million available under the DIP Term Loan Facility.
The scheduled maturity under the DIP Credit Agreement is the earliest of (a) the Scheduled Termination Date, (b) 45 days after the entry of the Interim Order if the Final Order has not been entered prior to the expiration of such 45-day period (as such period may be extended with the consent of certain DIP Lenders), (c) the substantial consummation of a plan of reorganization filed in the cases that is confirmed pursuant to an order entered by the Bankruptcy Court, (d) the acceleration of the loans and the termination of commitments with respect to the DIP Credit Agreement and (e) a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (or the Loan Parties) pursuant to Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code. Borrowings under the DIP Term Loan Facility bear interest at an interest rate per annum equal to, at the Company's option (i) LIBOR plus 9.00%, subject to a 1.00% LIBOR floor or (ii) the base rate plus 8.00%.
“Scheduled Termination Date” means the date that is 12 months after the closing date; provided that such date may, at the election of the Company, be extended by up to an additional 6 months so long as, at the time such extension shall become effective, (w) there shall exist no default under the DIP Credit Agreement, (x) the representations and warranties of the Loan Parties therein shall be true and correct in all material respects, (y) the Company shall have paid or caused to be paid to the DIP Agent for the account of each DIP Lender an extension fee in an amount equal to 2.50% of such DIP Lender’s outstanding exposure under the DIP Term Loan Facility at such time and (z) the Company shall have delivered to the DIP Agent an updated DIP budget covering the additional period to be effected by such extension.
The Company paid aggregate debt issuance costs of $25.6 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 related to the DIP Term Loan Facility, which will be amortized over a 12-month period.


Intercompany Loan Facility
Prior to the Petition Date, the Company made available to its Australian platform a committed $250 million revolving intercompany loan facility (Intercompany Loan Facility). The Intercompany Loan Facility is designed to provide additional liquidity to support the ongoing operations of the Australian business during the Chapter 11 Cases, with draw amounts being tied to operating budgets and subject to certain availability restrictions. In accordance with the terms of the DIP Credit Agreement, the aggregate outstanding principal amount shall not exceed $250 million at any one time, which amount shall be subject to increase by up to $200 million with the written consent of the DIP Lenders. The consent of the DIP Lenders is also required to grant liens valued at 50% or more of the assets collateralizing the Intercompany Loan Facility. As of June 30, 2016, there were no amounts outstanding on the Intercompany Loan Facility.
Senior Secured Second Lien Notes Offering
On March 16, 2015, the Company completed the offering of $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of the Senior Secured Second Lien Notes. The notes were offered to qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), and to non-U.S. persons in transactions outside the U.S. under Regulation S of the Securities Act.
2016 Senior Notes Tender Offer and Redemption
Concurrently with the offering of the Senior Secured Second Lien Notes, the Company commenced a tender offer to repurchase the $650.0 million aggregate principal amount then outstanding of the 7.375% Senior Notes due November 2016 (the 2016 Senior Notes). Consequently, the Company repurchased $566.9 million aggregate principal amount of the notes that were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn during March 2015. The Company redeemed the remaining $83.1 million aggregate principal amount of the 2016 Senior Notes on April 15, 2015. In connection with those repurchases, the Company recognized an aggregate loss on early debt extinguishment of $8.3 million and $67.8 million in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively. The year-to-date charge was comprised of aggregate tender offer and make-whole premiums paid of $66.4 million and the non-cash write-off of associated unamortized debt issuance costs of $1.4 million.
