Recourse debt refers to debt that Bloom Energy Corporation has an obligation to pay. Non-recourse debt refers to debt that is recourse to only specified assets or our subsidiaries. The differences between the unpaid principal balances and the net carrying values apply to debt discounts and deferred financing costs. We were in compliance with all financial covenants as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.
Recourse Debt Facilities
LIBOR + 4% Term Loan due November 2020 - The weighted average interest rate as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was 4.5% and 6.3%, respectively. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the unpaid principal balance of debt outstanding was $0.7 million and $1.6 million, respectively, and we are in compliance with all covenants, respectively.
10% Constellation Convertible Promissory Note due 2021 - On March 31, 2020, we entered into an Amended and Restated Subordinated Secured Convertible Note Modification Agreement (the “Constellation Note Modification Agreement”)
which amended the terms of the 5% Constellation Note to extend the maturity date to December 31, 2021 and increased the interest rate from 5% to 10% ("10% Constellation Note"). We further amended the 10% Constellation Note by reducing the strike price on the conversion feature from $38.64 per share to $8.00 per share.
When we evaluated the Constellation Note Modification Agreement in accordance with ASC 470-60, Debt - Troubled Debt Restructurings by Debtors ("ASC 470-60") and ASC 470-50, Debt - Modifications and Extinguishments ("ASC 470-50"), we concluded that the amendment did not constitute a troubled debt restructuring and, furthermore, the amendment qualified as a substantial modification as a result of the increase in the fair value of the conversion feature due to the reduced strike price. As a result, on March 31, 2020, the 10% Constellation Note, which consisted of $33.1 million in principal and $3.8 million in accrued and unpaid interest, was extinguished and the 10% Constellation Note was recorded at their fair market value which equaled $40.7 million. The difference between the fair market value of the 10% Constellation Note and the carrying value of the 5% Constellation Note of $3.8 million was recorded as a loss on extinguishment of debt in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.
On June 18, 2020, Constellation NewEnergy, Inc. exchanged their entire 10% Constellation Note at the conversion price of $8.00 per share into 4.7 million shares of Class A common stock. At the time of this exchange the unamortized premium of $3.4 million was recorded as an adjustment to additional paid-in capital.
10% Convertible Promissory Notes due December 2021 - On March 31, 2020, we entered into an Amendment Support Agreement (the “Amendment Support Agreement”) with the noteholders of our outstanding 6% Convertible Notes pursuant to which such Noteholders agreed to extend the maturity date of the outstanding 6% Convertible Notes to December 1, 2021 and increase the interest rate from 6% to 10%, ("10% Convertible Notes"). Additionally, the debt is convertible at the option of the Noteholders into common stock at any time through the maturity date and we further amended the 10% Convertible Notes by reducing the strike price on the conversion feature from $11.25 to $8.00 per share. In conjunction with entering into the Amendment Support Agreement, on March 31, 2020, we also entered into a Convertible Note Purchase Agreement (the “10% Convertible Note Purchase Agreement”) and issued an additional $30.0 million aggregate principal amount of 10% Convertible Notes to Foris Ventures, LLC, a new Noteholder, and New Enterprise Associates 10, Limited Partnership, an existing Noteholder. The 10% Convertible Notes and the $30.0 million new 10% Convertible Notes were all reflected in the Amended and Restated Indenture between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association dated April 20, 2020. The Amendment Support Agreement required that we repay at least $70.0 million of the 10% Convertible Notes on or before September 1, 2020. In return, collateral was released to support the collateral required under the 10.25% Senior Secured Notes, and 50% of the proceeds from the consummation of certain transactions, including equity offerings or additional indebtedness, will be applied to redeem the 10% Convertible Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 10% Convertible Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, the aggregate sum of all remaining scheduled interest payments, discounted by a rate equal to the treasury rate plus fifty basis points, multiplied by a certain percentage (“Applicable Percentage”) that ranges from 0% to 100% which is determined based on the time of redemption. If the redemption were to occur on or before October 21, 2020, the Applicable Percentage would be 0% and therefore no redemption penalty would be incurred. If the redemption were to happen after October 21, 2020, the Applicable Percentage would be between 25% and 100%, determined based on the time of redemption. On May 1, 2020, we repaid $70.0 million of the 10% Convertible Notes and accrued and unpaid interest and recorded an adjustment to the unamortized debt premium of $4.3 million.
We evaluated the Amendment Support Agreement in accordance with ASC 470-60 and 470-50 and concluded that the amendment did not constitute a troubled debt restructuring and, furthermore, the amendment qualified as a substantial modification as a result of the increase in the fair value of the conversion feature due to the reduced strike price. As a result, on March 31, 2020, we recorded a $10.3 million loss on extinguishment of debt in the condensed consolidated statement of operations, which was calculated as the difference between the reacquisition price of the 6% Convertible Notes and the carrying value of the 6% Convertible Notes. The total carrying value of the 6% Convertible Notes equaled $279.0 million, which consisted of $289.3 million in principal and $1.4 million in accrued and unpaid interest, reduced by $10.7 million in unamortized discount and $1.0 million in unamortized debt issuance costs. The total reacquisition price of the 6% Convertible Notes equaled $289.3 million which consisted of the $340.7 million fair value of the 10% Convertible Notes, $1.4 million in accrued and unpaid interest, and $1.2 million of fees paid to Noteholders as part of the amendment, reduced by $24.0 million, the fair value at March 31, 2020 of the embedded derivative relating to the equity classified conversion feature was reclassified from additional paid-in capital at the time of the debt extinguishment, $20.0 million cash received from the additional 10% Convertible Notes that were issued to New Enterprise Associates 10, Limited Partnership, and the $10.0 million issuance to Foris Ventures, LLC.
The new net carrying amount of the 10% Convertible Notes of $263.4 million, which consists of the $249.3 million principal of the 10% Convertible Notes, $14.1 million net of premium paid for the 10% Convertible Notes and debt issuance
costs was classified as non-current as of June 30, 2020. Furthermore, the $14.1 million deemed premium net of debt issuance cost is being amortized over the term of the 10% Convertible Notes using the effective interest method.
10% Notes due July 2024 - The outstanding unpaid principal balance of the 10% Notes of $14.0 million and $14.0 million were classified as current as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, and the net carrying amount of the 10% Notes of $69.5 million and $76.0 million were classified as non-current as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The accrued unpaid interest balance on the 10% Notes was $3.6 million and $3.9 million as on June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.
10.25% Senior Secured Notes due March 2027 - On May 1, 2020, we issued $70.0 million of 10.25% Senior Secured Notes due 2027 (the “10.25% Senior Secured Notes”) in a private placement (the “Senior Secured Notes Private Placement”). The 10.25% Senior Secured Notes are governed by an indenture (the “Senior Secured Notes Indenture”) entered into among us, the guarantors party thereto and U.S. Bank National Association, in its capacity as trustee and collateral agent. The 10.25% Senior Secured Notes are secured by certain of our operations and maintenance agreements that previously were part of the security for the 6% Convertible Notes. We used the proceeds of this issuance to repay $70.0 million of our 10% Convertible Notes on May 1, 2020. The 10.25% Senior Secured Notes are supported by a $150.0 million indenture between us and US Bank National Association which contains an accordion feature for an additional $80.0 million of notes that can be issued within the next 18 months.
Interest on the 10.25% Senior Secured Notes is payable on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year, commencing June 30, 2020. The 10.25% Senior Secured Notes Indenture contains customary events of default and covenants relating to, among other things, the incurrence of new debt, affiliate transactions, liens and restricted payments. On or after March 27, 2022, we may redeem all of the 10.25% Senior Secured Notes at a price equal to 108% of the principal amount of the 10.25% Senior Secured Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, with such optional redemption prices decreasing to 104% on and after March 27, 2023, 102% on and after March 27, 2024 and 100% on and after March 27, 2026. Before March 27, 2022, we may redeem the 10.25% Senior Secured Notes upon repayment of a make-whole premium. If we experience a change of control, we must offer to purchase for cash all or any part of each holder’s 10.25% Senior Secured Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the 10.25% Senior Secured Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The outstanding unpaid principal of the 10.25% Senior Secured Notes of $70.0 million was classified as non-current as of June 30, 2020.
