Our outstanding debt as of March 31, 2022 is repayable as follows:
The terms of the Company's debt instruments have been described in NFE's Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no significant changes to the Company's outstanding debt, other than described below. South Power 2029 Bonds In August 2021, NFE South Power Holdings Limited (“South Power”), a wholly owned subsidiary of NFE, entered into a financing agreement (“CHP Facility”), initially receiving approximately $100,000. The CHP Facility was secured by a mortgage over the lease of the site on which the Company’s combined heat and power plant in Clarendon, Jamaica (“CHP Plant”) is located and related security. In January 2022, South Power and the counterparty to the CHP Facility agreed to rescind the CHP Facility and entered into an agreement for the issuance of secured bonds (“South Power 2029 Bonds”) and subsequently authorized the issuance of up to $285,000 in South Power 2029 Bonds. The South Power 2029 Bonds are secured by, amongst other things, the CHP Plant. Amounts outstanding at the time of the mutual rescission of the CHP Facility of $100,000 were credited towards the purchase price of the South Power 2029 Bonds. In the first quarter of 2022, the Company issued $75,783 of South Power 2029 Bonds for a total amount outstanding of $175,783 as of March 31, 2022. The South Power 2029 Bonds bear interest at an annual fixed rate of 6.50% and mature seven years from the closing date of the final tranche. The Company expects to begin paying principal payments on a quarterly basis in July 2025. Interest payments on outstanding principal balances will be due quarterly. South Power will be required to comply with certain financial covenants as well as customary affirmative and negative covenants. The South Power 2029 Bonds also provides for customary events of default, prepayment and cure provisions. In conjunction with obtaining the CHP Facility, the Company incurred $3,243 in origination, structuring and other fees. The rescission of the CHP Facility and issuance of South Power 2029 Bonds was treated as a modification, and fees attributable to lenders that participated in the CHP Facility will be amortized over the life of the South Power 2029 Bonds; additional third party fees associated with such lenders of $258 were recognized as expense in the first quarter of 2022. Additional fees for new lenders participating in the South Power 2029 Bonds were recognized as a reduction of the principal balance on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the remaining unamortized deferred financing costs for the CHP Facility was $5,527 and $3,180, respectively. Revolving Facility In April 2021, the Company entered into a $200,000 senior secured revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Facility"). The proceeds of the Revolving Facility may be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes (including permitted acquisitions and other investments). In February 2022, the Revolving Facility was amended to increase the borrowing capacity by $115,000 to $315,000. Letters of credit issued under the $100,000 letter of credit sub-facility may be used for general corporate purposes. The Revolving Facility will mature in 2026, with the potential for the Company to extend the maturity date once in a one-year increment. Borrowings under the Revolving Facility bear interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 2.50% if the usage under the Revolving Facility is equal to or less than 50% of the commitments under the Revolving Facility and LIBOR plus 2.75% if the usage under the Revolving Facility is in excess of 50% of the commitments under the Revolving Facility, subject in each case to a 0% LIBOR floor. Borrowings under the Revolving Facility may be prepaid, at the option of the Company, at any time without premium. The obligations under the Revolving Facility are guaranteed by certain of the Company's subsidiaries, in addition to other collateral. The Company incurred $5,398 in origination, structuring and other fees, associated with entry into the Revolving Facility. These costs have been capitalized within Other non-current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, total remaining unamortized deferred financing costs for the Revolving Facility was $4,661 and $3,807, respectively.
