NOTE 17. LONG-TERM DEBT

Our consolidated indebtedness as of June 30, 2021 was $311.0 million. The consolidated indebtedness was comprised of $249.3 million outstanding under our revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”), inclusive of the $65.0 million term loan (the “2026 Term Loan”) balance, and  $61.7 million principal amount of 2025 Notes.

Long-term debt, at face value, totaled $311.0 million at June 30, 2021, representing an increase of $30.5 million from the balance of $280.5 million at December 31, 2020. The $30.5 million increase in long-term debt was related to the impact of (i) net draws on the Credit Facility totaling $19.5 million, (ii) origination of the $50.0 million 2026 Term Loan under the Company’s Credit Facility and subsequent exercise of the accordion option of $15.0 million, (iii) payoff of the $23.2 million variable-rate mortgage note, (iv) assumption of the $30.0 million fixed-rate mortgage note by the buyer in connection with the disposition of the CMBS Portfolio during the second quarter of 2021, and (v) repurchase of $0.8 million aggregate amount of convertible notes. In connection with the payoff of the variable-rate mortgage note originated with Wells Fargo, the associated interest rate swap was terminated on March 12, 2021.

As of June 30, 2021, the Company’s outstanding indebtedness, at face value, was as follows (in thousands):

Effective March 10, 2021, the Company redesignated the interest rate swap utilized to achieve a fixed interest rate of 0.2200% plus the applicable spread on $50.0 million of the outstanding principal balance under the Credit Facility to $50.0 million principal balance on the 2026 Term Loan. The interest rate swap was entered into as of August 31, 2020.

Credit Facility. The Credit Facility, with Bank of Montreal (“BMO”) as the administrative agent for the lenders thereunder, is unsecured with regard to our income property portfolio but is guaranteed by certain wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company. The Credit Facility bank group is led by BMO and also includes Truist Bank and Wells Fargo. On September 7, 2017, the Company executed the second amendment and restatement of the Credit Facility (the

“2017 Amended Credit Facility”). As a result of the 2021 Revolver Amendment, as defined below, The Huntington National Bank has been added as a lender to the Company’s Credit Facility and 2026 Term Loan.

On May 24, 2019, the Company executed the second amendment to the 2017 Amended Credit Facility (the “May 2019 Revolver Amendment”). As a result of the May 2019 Revolver Amendment, the Credit Facility had a total borrowing capacity of $200.0 million with the ability to increase that capacity up to $300.0 million during the term, subject to lender approval. The Credit Facility provides the lenders with a security interest in the equity of the Company subsidiaries that own the properties included in the borrowing base. The indebtedness outstanding under the Credit Facility accrues interest at a rate ranging from the 30-day LIBOR plus 135 basis points to the 30-day LIBOR plus 195 basis points based on the total balance outstanding under the Credit Facility as a percentage of the total asset value of the Company, as defined in the 2017 Amended Credit Facility, as amended by the May 2019 Revolver Amendment. The Credit Facility also accrues a fee of 15 to 25 basis points for any unused portion of the borrowing capacity based on whether the unused portion is greater or less than 50% of the total borrowing capacity. Pursuant to the May 2019 Revolver Amendment, the Credit Facility matures on May 24, 2023, with the ability to extend the term for 1 year.

On November 26, 2019, the Company entered into the third amendment to the 2017 Amended Credit Facility (the “November 2019 Revolver Amendment”), which further amends the 2017 Amended Credit Facility. The November 2019 Revolver Amendment included, among other things, an adjustment of certain financial maintenance covenants, including a temporary reduction of the minimum fixed charge coverage ratio to allow the Company to redeploy the proceeds received from the sale of certain income properties to PINE,  and an increase in the maximum amount the Company may invest in stock and stock equivalents of real estate investment trusts to allow the Company to invest in the common stock and OP Units.

On July 1, 2020, the Company entered into the fourth amendment to the 2017 Amended Credit Facility (the “July 2020 Revolver Amendment”) whereby the tangible net worth covenant was adjusted to be more reflective of market terms. The July 2020 Revolver Amendment was effective as of March 31, 2020.

On November 12, 2020, the Company entered into the fifth amendment to the 2017 Amended Credit Facility (the “November 2020 Revolver Amendment”). The November 2020 Revolver Amendment provided that, among other things, (i) the Company must comply with certain adjusted additional financial maintenance requirements, including (x) a new restricted payments covenant which limits the type and amount of cash distributions that may be made by the Company and (y) an adjusted fix charges ratio, which now excludes certain onetime expenses for purposes of calculation and (ii) the Company must, from and after the date that the Company elects to qualify as a REIT, maintain its status as a REIT.  

On March 10, 2021, the Company entered into the sixth amendment to the 2017 Amended Credit Facility (the “2021 Revolver Amendment”). The 2021 Revolver Amendment included, among other things, (i) increase of the revolving credit commitment from $200.0 million to $210.0 million, (ii) addition of the 2026 Term Loan in the aggregate amount of $50.0 million, (iii) updates to certain financing rate provisions provided therein, and (iv) joinder of The Huntington National Bank as a 2026 Term Loan lender and Credit Facility lender. The 2021 Revolver Amendment also includes accordion options that allow the Company to request additional 2026 Term Loan lender commitments up to a total of $150.0 million and additional Credit Facility lender commitments up to a total of $300.0 million. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company exercised the 2026 Term Loan accordion option for $15.0 million, increasing total lender commitments to $65.0 million.

At June 30, 2021, the current commitment level under the Credit Facility was $210.0 million. The available borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility was $25.7 million, based on the level of borrowing base assets. As of June 30, 2021, the Credit Facility had a $184.3 million balance outstanding.

The Credit Facility is subject to customary restrictive covenants including, but not limited to, limitations on the Company’s ability to: (a) incur indebtedness; (b) make certain investments; (c) incur certain liens; (d) engage in certain affiliate transactions; and (e) engage in certain major transactions such as mergers. In addition, the Company is subject to various financial maintenance covenants including, but not limited to, a maximum indebtedness ratio, a maximum secured indebtedness ratio, and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. The Credit Facility also contains affirmative covenants and events of default including, but not limited to, a cross default to the Company’s other indebtedness and upon the occurrence of a change in control. The Company’s failure to comply with these covenants or the occurrence of an event of default could result in acceleration of the Company’s debt and other financial obligations under the Credit Facility.

Mortgage Notes Payable. On March 12, 2021, the Company repaid its $23.2 million variable-rate mortgage note payable and terminated the associated rate swap utilized to achieve a fixed interest rate of 3.17%. On June 30, 2021, the Company’s $30.0 million fixed-rate mortgage note payable was assumed by the buyer in connection with the disposition of the CMBS Portfolio during the second quarter of 2021.

Convertible Debt. The Company’s $75.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.50% Convertible Notes (the “2020 Notes”) were scheduled to mature on March 15, 2020; however, the Company completed the Note Exchanges, hereinafter defined, on February 4, 2020. The initial conversion rate was 14.5136 shares of common stock for each $1,000 principal amount of the 2020 Notes, which represented an initial conversion price of $68.90 per share of common stock.

On February 4, 2020, the Company closed privately negotiated exchange agreements with certain holders of its outstanding 2020 Notes pursuant to which the Company issued $57.4 million principal amount of 3.875% Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 (the “2025 Notes”) in exchange for $57.4 million principal amount of the 2020 Notes (the “Note Exchanges”).  In addition, the Company closed a privately negotiated purchase agreement with an investor, who had not invested in the 2020 Notes, and issued $17.6 million principal amount of the 2025 Notes (the “New Notes Placement,” and together with the Note Exchanges, the “Convert Transactions”). The Company used $5.9 million of the proceeds from the New Notes Placement to repurchase $5.9 million of the 2020 Notes. As a result of the Convert Transactions there was a total of $75.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2025 Notes outstanding.

In exchange for issuing the 2025 Notes pursuant to the Note Exchanges, the Company received and cancelled the exchanged 2020 Notes. The $11.7 million of net proceeds from the New Notes Placement were used to redeem at maturity on March 15, 2020 $11.7 million of the aggregate principal amount of the 2020 Notes that remained outstanding.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company repurchased $12.5 million aggregate principal amount of 2025 Notes at a $2.6 million discount, resulting in a gain on extinguishment of debt of $1.1 million. All such repurchases were made during first and second quarter of 2020. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company repurchased $0.8 million aggregate principal amount of 2025 Notes at a $0.01 million premium, resulting in a loss on extinguishment of debt of $0.1 million. Following the repurchase of the 2025 Notes, $61.7 million aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Notes remains outstanding at June 30, 2021.  

The 2025 Notes represent senior unsecured obligations of the Company and pay interest semi-annually in arrears on each April 15th and October 15th, commencing on April 15, 2020, at a rate of 3.875% per annum. The 2025 Notes mature on April 15, 2025 and may not be redeemed by the Company prior to the maturity date. The conversion rate for the 2025 Notes was initially 12.7910 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 of principal of the 2025 Notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of $78.18 per share of the Company’s common stock). The initial conversion price of the 2025 Notes represented a premium of 20% to the $65.15 closing sale price of the Company’s common stock on the NYSE American on January 29, 2020. If the Company’s Board increases the quarterly dividend above the $0.13 per share in place at issuance, the conversion rate is adjusted with each such increase in the quarterly dividend amount. After the second quarter 2021 dividend, the conversion rate is equal to 18.8450 shares of common stock for each $1,000 principal amount of 2025 Notes, which represents an adjusted conversion price of $53.06 per share of common stock. At the maturity date, the 2025 Notes are convertible into cash, common stock or a combination thereof, subject to various conditions, at the Company’s option. Should certain corporate transactions or events occur prior to the stated maturity date, the Company will increase the conversion rate for a holder that elects to convert its 2025 Notes in connection with such corporate transaction or event.

The conversion rate is subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. Holders may not surrender their 2025 Notes for conversion prior to January 15, 2025 except upon the occurrence of certain conditions relating to the closing sale price of the Company’s common stock, the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of 2025 Notes, or specified corporate events including a change in control of the Company. The Company may not redeem the 2025 Notes prior to the stated maturity date and no sinking fund is provided for the 2025 Notes. The 2025 Notes are convertible, at the election of the Company, into solely cash, solely shares of the Company’s common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company intends to settle the 2025 Notes in cash upon conversion, with any excess conversion value to be settled in shares of our common stock. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the 2025 Notes were accounted for as a liability with a separate equity component recorded for the conversion option. A liability was recorded for the 2025 Notes on the issuance date at fair value based on a discounted cash flow analysis using current market rates for debt instruments with similar terms. The difference between the initial proceeds from the 2025 Notes and the estimated

fair value of the debt instruments resulted in a debt discount, with an offset recorded to additional paid-in capital representing the equity component. As of June 30, 2021, the unamortized debt discount of our 2025 Notes was $5.5 million.
