Term Loan Credit Agreement

 

On February 26, 2021, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries (the "Subsidiary Guarantors") entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Original Term Loan Credit Agreement”) with certain funds affiliated with Kennedy Lewis Investment Management LLC (“KLIM”) as lenders (the “Original Term Loan Lenders”) and Alter Domus (US) LLC, as administrative agent (the “Agent”). Pursuant to the Original Term Loan Credit Agreement, the Original Term Loan Lenders provided the Company with (i) an initial term loan in the amount of $225 million, which was drawn in full on the same date, and (ii) a commitment to provide delayed draw term loans in an aggregate principal amount of up to $50 million on or before February 26, 2023 (collectively, the “Original Term Loans”). The delayed draw term loans were drawn in full on June 15, 2022. The maturity date of the Original Term Loans was February 26, 2026, and the Original Term Loans were non-amortizing.

 

On June 30, 2023, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors entered into an amendment (the “Term Loan Amendment”) to the Original Term Loan Credit Agreement (the Original Term Loan Credit Agreement, as amended and restated by the Term Loan Amendment, the “Amended and Restated Term Loan Credit Agreement”), with certain funds affiliated with KLIM as lenders (the “Term Loan Lenders”) and the Agent. 

 

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Term Loan Amendment, the Term Loan Lenders provided the Company with a commitment to provide term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $450 million (the “Term Loans”). 

 


On July 21, 2023, the Amended and Restated Term Loan Credit Agreement became effective and the Company completed its borrowing of the Term Loans. The Company received net proceeds of $435 million from the Term Loans which were used to (i) refinance the obligations under the Original Term Loan Credit Agreement, (ii) repay in full and terminate the commitments under the Company’s asset-based revolving credit facility made available pursuant to the 2023 Amended ABL Credit Agreement as defined below, (iii) repay in full the Company’s outstanding 5.0% unsecured convertible promissory notes due May 28, 2026 (the "Convertible Notes") held by the Original Term Loan Lenders, (iv) pay certain fees and expenses related to the foregoing and the Amended and Restated L/C Facility Agreement (defined below), (v) provide cash collateral in respect of the Amended and Restated L/C Facility Agreement, as described below, or other collateral obligations, and (vi) for general corporate purposes and working capital needs of the Company and its subsidiaries (a net amount of $29 million).  


The Term Loan Amendment also amended and restated the Original Term Loan Credit Agreement to, among other things, (i) extend the maturity date to the earlier of August 15, 2028 or the date that is 91 days prior to the maturity date or mandatory redemption date of any of the Company’s then-outstanding Series B Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock or any extensions or refinancings of any of the foregoing, (ii) make certain other changes to the terms of the Original Term Loan Credit Agreement and (iii) make certain other changes to the terms of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, dated as of February 26, 2021, among the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Agent.

 

The Term Loans bear interest at a rate of 7.5% per annum payable in cash and 5.0% per annum payable “in-kind” ("PIK") or in cash at the Company’s option, for an aggregate interest rate of 12.5% per annum. Obligations under the Amended and Restated Term Loan Credit Agreement are secured by a first priority lien on substantially all assets of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors (subject to certain exceptions) not constituting L/C Cash Collateral, as defined below (collectively, the “Term Loan Priority Collateral”), and a second priority lien on the L/C Cash Collateral.  The aggregate carrying value of the Term Loan Priority Collateral and L/C Cash Collateral as of December 31, 2023 was $4,205 million. 


The Amended and Restated Term Loan Credit Agreement continues to limit, among other things, the ability of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries (as defined in the Amended and Restated Term Loan Credit Agreement) to (i) incur indebtedness, (ii) incur or create liens, (iii) dispose of assets, (iv) make restricted payments and (v) make investments. The Amended and Restated Term Loan Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative covenants, including delivery of certain of the Company’s financial statements, and customary event of default provisions, including a cross-default provision that would give rise to an event of default if there is a default under or acceleration of “Material Indebtedness” other than inter-company indebtedness. Material Indebtedness includes obligations having a principal amount of at least $20 million (increasing to $25 million if the Term Loans are paid down to $200 million, which is referred to as the “Deleveraging Milestone Date”). The Amended and Restated Term Loan Credit Agreement does not include a financial maintenance covenant or any subjective acceleration clauses. 


On an annual basis, the Company is obligated to prepay, within 10 business days following the filing of annual Form 10-K, outstanding Term Loans in an amount equal to Excess Cash Flow (“ECF”) as defined in the Amended and Restated Term Loan Credit Agreement provided no such prepayment is required if such prepayment would cause U.S. liquidity to be less than $60 million, or $85 million after the Deleveraging Milestone Date.  For the year ended December 31, 2023, ECF was a negative amount. In addition to customary prepayment covenants, the Company is also required to use the Net Proceeds from the monetization of Target Non-Core Assets as such terms are defined in the Amended and Restated Term Loan Credit Agreement to make prepayments subject to certain exceptions. During the first quarter of 2024, the Company prepaid $17 million of the Term Loans with Net Proceeds from the sale of Target Non-Core Assets.

 

Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt - Original Term Loans 
The Company used $316 million of the net proceeds received from the Term Loans, which represented the aggregate principal amount of the Original Term Loans plus accrued PIK and prepayment premium, to refinance the Company’s obligations under the Original Term Loan Credit Agreement. In addition, the Company used $2 million of the net proceeds to pay accrued and unpaid cash interest. The carrying value of the Original Term Loans as of July 21, 2023 approximated $293 million. The Company recorded a loss on early extinguishment of debt of approximately $23 million during the third quarter of 2023. 

 

Board Rights Agreement

On June 30, 2023, in connection with the execution of the Term Loan Amendment, the Company entered into an amendment (the "Board Rights Agreement Amendment") to the letter agreement with KLIM, dated February 26, 2021 (the “Original Board Rights Agreement”). Pursuant to the Board Rights Agreement Amendment, KLIM's right to nominate one individual for election as a member of the Company’s board of directors will last until the date on which KLIM ceases to hold at least $200 million of the original principal amount of Term Loans. The individual nominated pursuant to the Original Board Rights Agreement was appointed to the Company's Board of Directors on April 1, 2021 and has been elected to serve one-year terms at each of the annual meetings since May 19, 2021. 

 

Securities Purchase Agreement
On February 26, 2021, the Company and the Term Loan Lenders (the “Buyers”), entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company sold to the Buyers (i) an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares (the “Purchased Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”) for a purchase price of $10.00 in cash per share for an aggregate purchase price of $10 million and (ii) $25 million aggregate principal amount of the newly issued Convertible Notes in a private placement transaction. The issuance and sale of the Purchased Shares and Convertible Notes were consummated on February 26, 2021.

 

Convertible Notes

 

The Convertible Notes bore interest at a rate of 5.0% per annum, which was payable in cash on the maturity date and in additional shares of Common Stock on any conversion date. The payment of interest only at the maturity date has the same effect as delivering additional debt instruments to the Holders of the Convertible Notes and therefore is considered PIK. Therefore, PIK was being added to the carrying value of the debt through the term and interest expense was recorded using the effective interest method. The maturity date of the Convertible Notes was May 28, 2026.


Conversion Features 
The Buyers had the right to elect at any time to convert the Convertible Notes into shares of the Company's Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Common Stock"), at an initial conversion rate equal to 100 shares of Common Stock per each $1,000 principal amount of the Convertible Notes (based on an initial conversion price equal to $10.00 per share of Common Stock). The conversion rate and conversion price were subject to certain customary anti-dilution adjustments. 

 

If the closing price of the Common Stock equaled or exceeded $14.50 (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the conversion price) for 45 trading days within any period of 60 consecutive trading days, the Company had the right to cause the mandatory conversion of the Convertible Notes into shares of Common Stock. 


In the event of certain fundamental transactions, the Buyers had the right, within a period of 30 days following the occurrence of such transaction, to elect to either require prepayment of the Convertible Notes at par plus accrued and unpaid interest or convert all or a portion of the Convertible Notes into shares of Common Stock at the conversion rate then in effect plus any additional shares based on the price per share of Common Stock in connection with the fundamental transaction, or to receive the shares of a successor entity, if any. 

 

Embedded Derivatives

The Convertible Notes were considered more akin to a debt-type instrument and the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded conversion features were not considered clearly and closely related to the Convertible Notes. Accordingly, these embedded features were bifurcated from the Convertible Notes and separately accounted for on a combined basis at fair value as a single derivative liability. Kodak allocated $12 million of the net proceeds received to a derivative liability based on the aggregate fair value of the embedded features on the date of issuance which reduced the net carrying value of the Convertible Notes. The derivative was being accounted for at fair value with subsequent changes in the fair value being reported as part of Other (income) charges, net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The fair value of the Convertible Notes embedded derivative at July 21, 2023, when the Convertible Notes were repaid, was a liability of $5 million. The fair value of the Convertible Notes embedded derivative as of December 31, 2022 was a liability of $2 million and is included in Other long-term liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. Refer to Note 13, “Financial Instruments” for information on the valuation of the derivative.

 

The carrying value of the Convertible Notes at  December 31, 2022 was $18 million. The estimated fair value of the Convertible Notes as of December 31, 2022 was $16 million (Level 3). The carrying value was being accreted to the aggregate principal amount using the effective interest method from the date of issuance through the maturity date.

 

Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt - Convertible Notes 
The carrying value, including the fair value of the embedded derivative liability, of the Convertible Notes at July 21, 2023 approximated $24 million. The Company used $28 million of the net proceeds received from the Term Loans to repay in full the aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes plus accrued PIK interest. The Company recorded a loss on early extinguishment of debt of approximately $4 million during the third quarter of 2023. 

 

Securities Registration Rights Agreement

On February 26, 2021, the Company and the Buyers entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Securities Registration Rights Agreement”) providing the Buyers with registration rights in respect of the Purchased Shares and the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Notes. The Securities Registration Rights Agreement contains other customary terms and conditions, including certain customary indemnification obligations; however, the Securities Registration Rights Agreement does not obligate the Company to facilitate an underwritten offering of the registered Common Stock by the Buyers.

 

Amended ABL Credit Agreement

 

On September 3, 2013, the Company entered into an Asset Based Revolving Credit Agreement (the “Original ABL Credit Agreement”). On February 26, 2021, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors entered into a fourth amendment to the ABL Credit Agreement (as amended in 2021, the “Amended ABL Credit Agreement”), among the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors, the lenders party thereto, Bank of America, N.A., as agent (the “Agent”), and Bank of America, N.A. and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as arrangers, with the Agent and the Required Lenders. Each of the capitalized but undefined terms used in the context of describing the Amended ABL Credit Agreement has the meaning ascribed to such term in the Amended ABL Credit Agreement.

 

The Amended ABL Credit Agreement amended the ABL Credit Agreement to, among other things, (i) extend the maturity date to February 26, 2024 or the date that was 90 days prior to the earliest scheduled maturity date or mandatory redemption date of any of the Company’s Term Loans, Convertible Notes, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock or any refinancings of any of the foregoing and (ii) decreased the aggregate amount of commitments from $110 million to $90 million, which decreased the minimum Excess Availability to $11.25 million from the previous amount of $13.75 million. Commitments under the Amended ABL Credit Agreement continued to be able to be used in the form of revolving loans or letters of credit.

 

On March 14, 2023, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors entered into amendment No. 5 to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “2023 Amended ABL Credit Agreement") with the lenders party thereto (the “Lenders”), Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent to, among other things: (i) extend the maturity date of the Company's asset based loan facility from February 26, 2024 to the earliest of June 12, 2024, the termination of the 2023 Amended L/C Facility Agreement (as defined below) or the date that is 91 days prior to the earliest scheduled maturity date or mandatory redemption date of any of the Company’s Original Term Loans, Convertible Notes, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock or any refinancings of any of the foregoing; (ii) require the Company to maintain daily Minimum Liquidity of $50 million, subject to certain cure rights, and to maintaining quarterly Minimum Liquidity of $80 million, and (iii) on February 26, 2024, decrease the aggregate amount of commitments from $90 million to $81 million. Each of the capitalized but undefined terms used in the context of describing the 2023 Amended ABL Credit Agreement has the meaning ascribed to such term in the 2023 Amended ABL Credit Agreement.

 

If Minimum Liquidity fell below the daily or quarterly required minimum, an Event of Default would have occurred, in which case the Agent had the right to declare the obligation of each Lender to make Revolving Loans and of the Issuing Banks to issue Letters of Credit to be terminated, and declare the Revolving Loans, all interest thereon and all other amounts payable under the 2023 Amended ABL Credit Agreement to be due and payable.


Approximately $58 million letters of credit were issued under the 2023 Amended ABL Agreement as of July 21, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

 

On July 21, 2023, the Company used the net proceeds from the Term Loans to repay in full the amounts outstanding under its 2023 Amended ABL Credit Agreement (the “ABL Prepayment”). Upon the administrative agent’s receipt in full of the ABL Prepayment, the 2023 Amended ABL Credit Agreement was terminated and the lenders’ security interest in any of the Company’s or its subsidiaries assets or property securing the 2023 Amended ABL Credit Agreement was released. 

 

Quarterly Minimum Liquidity was $143 million and $150 million at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and daily Minimum Liquidity exceeded the $50 million threshold. Quarterly Minimum Liquidity as of June 30, 2023 was not required to be calculated or furnished to the Lenders as the 2023 Amended ABL Credit Agreement was terminated on July 21, 2023.

 

The Company was required to maintain Excess Availability above the greater of 12.5% of lender commitments ($11.25 million at both May 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022) which was tested at the end of each month. Excess Availability was $17 million and $21 million as of May 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Excess Availability as of June 30, 2023 was not required to be calculated or furnished to the Lenders as the 2023 Amended ABL Credit Agreement was terminated on July 21, 2023.

 

If Excess Availability fell below the greater of 12.5% of lender commitments or $11.25 million, a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio Trigger Event would have occurred. During any Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio Trigger Event, the Company would have been required to maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of greater than or equal to 1.0 to 1.0. If Excess Availability fell below the greater of 12.5% of lender commitments or $11.25 million, Kodak could, in addition to the requirement to be in compliance with the minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, have become subject to cash dominion control. Since Excess Availability was greater than 12.5% of lender commitments or $11.25 million at May 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, Kodak was not required to have a minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of 1.0 to 1.0. 

 

If Excess Availability fell below the greater of 12.5% of lender commitments or $11.25 million and the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio was less than 1.0 to 1.0, an Event of Default would have occurred and the Agent would have had the right to declare the obligation of each Lender to make Revolving Loans and of the Issuing Banks to issue Letters of Credit to be terminated, and declare the Revolving Loans, all interest thereon and all other amounts payable under the 2023 Amended ABL Credit Agreement to be due and payable.


As noted above, since Excess Availability was greater than 12.5% of lender commitments or $11.25 million, Kodak was not required to have a minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of 1.0 to 1.0. As of March 31, 2023, Consolidated EBITDA (minus Capital Expenditures and income taxes paid in cash) (as defined in the 2023 Amended ABL Credit Agreement) exceeded Fixed Charges by approximately $9 million, therefore the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio was more than 1.0 to 1.0. The Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio as of June 30, 2023 was not required to be calculated or furnished to the Lenders as the 2023 Amended ABL Credit Agreement was terminated on July 21, 2023. 


Each existing direct or indirect U.S. subsidiary of the Company (other than Immaterial Subsidiaries, Unrestricted Subsidiaries and certain other subsidiaries) provided an unconditional guarantee (and any such future subsidiaries were required to provide an unconditional guarantee) of the obligations of the Company under the Credit Agreements (as defined below). 

 

Under the terms of the Amended ABL Credit Agreement, the Company could designate Restricted Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries provided the aggregate sales of all Unrestricted Subsidiaries are less than 7.5% of the consolidated sales of Kodak and the aggregate assets of all Unrestricted Subsidiaries are less than 7.5% of Kodak’s consolidated assets. Further, on a pro forma basis at the time of designation and immediately after giving effect thereto, Excess Availability must be at least $30 million and the pro forma Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio must be no less than 1.0 to 1.0. Upon designation of Unrestricted Subsidiaries, the Company is required to provide to the Lenders reconciling statements to eliminate all financial information pertaining to Unrestricted Subsidiaries which is included in its annual and quarterly consolidated financial statements.

 

Under the Amended ABL Credit Agreement the Company designated three subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries: Kodak PE Tech, LLC, Kodak Realty, Inc, and KP Services (Jersey) Ltd. Collectively, the Unrestricted Subsidiaries had sales of approximately $6 million and $7 million for the years ended  December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, which represented 1% of Kodak’s consolidated sales for each period. These subsidiaries had assets of $12 million as of December 31, 2022, which represented 1% of Kodak’s consolidated assets as of such dates. 

 

Letter of Credit Facility Agreement

 

On February 26, 2021, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors entered into a Letter of Credit Facility Agreement (the “L/C Facility Agreement”) among the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors, the lenders party thereto (the “L/C Lenders”), Bank of America, N.A., as agent, and Bank of America, N.A., as issuing bank. Pursuant to the L/C Facility Agreement, the L/C Lenders committed to issue letters of credit on the Company’s behalf in an aggregate amount of up to $50 million, provided that the Company posts cash collateral in an amount greater than or equal to 103% of the aggregate amount of letters of credit issued and outstanding at any given time (the “L/C Cash Collateral”).  

 

On March 14, 2023, the Company entered into an amendment to the L/C Facility Agreement (the “2023 Amended L/C Facility Agreement”) to, among other things: (i) extend the maturity date of the L/C Facility Agreement from February 26, 2024 to the earliest of June 12, 2024, the termination of the 2023 Amended ABL Credit Agreement, as applicable, or the date that is 91 days prior to the earliest scheduled maturity date or mandatory redemption date of any of the Company’s Term Loans, Convertible Notes, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock or any refinancing of any of the foregoing and (ii) require the Company to maintain daily Minimum Liquidity of $50 million, subject to certain cure rights, and to maintaining a quarterly Minimum Liquidity of $80 million. Each of the capitalized but undefined terms used in the context of describing the 2023 Amended L/C Facility Agreement has the meaning ascribed to such term in the 2023 Amended L/C Facility Agreement.


As with the 2023 Amended ABL Credit Agreement, the 2023 Amended L/C Facility Agreement required the Company to maintain Excess Availability above the greater of 12.5% of lender commitments or $11.25 million. If Excess Availability fell below the greater of 12.5% of lender commitments or $11.25 million, a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio Trigger Event would have occurred under the 2023 Amended L/C Facility Agreement as with the 2023 Amended ABL Credit Agreement. During any Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio Trigger Event, the Company would have been required to maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of greater than or equal to 1.0 to 1.0.

 

On June 30, 2023, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors entered into an amendment (the “June 2023 L/C Facility Amendment”) to the 2023 Amended L/C Facility Agreement (as amended and restated by the June 2023 L/C Facility Amendment, the “Amended and Restated L/C Facility Agreement”), with Bank of America, N.A., as L/C Lender, L/C Agent and Issuing Bank. The June 2023 L/C Facility Amendment became effective on July 21, 2023. 


Under the terms and conditions of the June 2023 L/C Facility Amendment, the L/C Lender increased the commitment to issue letters of credit on the Company’s behalf from an aggregate amount of up to $50 million, to an aggregate amount of up to $100 million (the “L/C Facility Commitments”), until August 30, 2023; provided that, at all times, the Company posts cash collateral in an amount greater than or equal to 104% of the aggregate amount of letters of credit issued and outstanding at any given time (the “L/C Cash Collateral”).

 

Upon the termination of the 2023 Amended ABL Credit Agreement on July 21, 2023, the letters of credit totaling $58 million issued under the 2023 Amended ABL Credit Agreement were transferred to the Amended and Restated L/C Facility Agreement. The Company used $59 million of the net proceeds from the Term Loans to cash collateralize the letters of credit transferred to the L/C Facility. In August 2023, the Company used $68 million of the funds in the L/C Cash Collateral account to cash collateralize the Company’s undiscounted actuarial workers’ compensation obligations directly with the NYS WCB, reducing the issued letters of credit to $31 million, and elected to reduce the L/C Facility Commitments to $50 million effective August 15, 2023. 

 

The June 2023 L/C Facility Amendment also amended and restated the 2023 Amended L/C Facility Agreement to, among other things, (i) extended the maturity date to the earliest of (x) the fifth anniversary of the Restatement Date (as defined therein), (y) the date that is 90 days prior to the maturity of the Amended and Restated Term Loan Credit Agreement, as such date may be extended pursuant to the terms thereof (or the maturity date of any refinancing thereof), or (z) the date that is 90 days prior to the earliest scheduled maturity date or mandatory redemption date of any of the Company’s then-outstanding Series B Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock or any refinancings of any of the foregoing, (ii) eliminated the existing cash maintenance requirements, and (iii) made certain other changes to the terms of the 2023 Amended L/C Facility Agreement. 


Approximately $31 million and $43 million letters of credit were issued under the Amended and Restated L/C Facility Agreement as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The balance on deposit in the L/C Cash Collateral account as of  December 31, 2023 and 2022 was approximately $32 million and $44 million, respectively.


The Company’s obligations under the Amended and Restated L/C Facility Agreement are guaranteed by the Subsidiary Guarantors and are secured by (i) a first priority lien on the L/C Cash Collateral and (ii) a second priority lien on certain Term Loan Priority Collateral of the Company and U.S. subsidiary guarantors. 

 

The Amended and Restated L/C Facility Agreement contains certain affirmative and negative covenants similar to the affirmative and negative covenants contained in the Amended and Restated Term Loan Credit Agreement. The Amended and Restated L/C Facility Agreement does not include a minimum liquidity or financial maintenance covenant. 


The Company will pay an unused line fee of 37.5-50 basis points per annum, depending on whether the unused portion of the maximum commitments is less than or equal to 50% or greater than 50% of such commitments, respectively. The Company will pay a letter of credit fee of 3.75% per annum on issued and outstanding letters of credit, in addition to a fronting fee of 25 basis points on such letters of credit. Amounts drawn under any letter of credit will be reimbursed from the L/C Cash Collateral. If not so reimbursed, and not otherwise repaid by the Company to the L/C Lender, such amounts will accrue interest, to be paid monthly, at a floating Base Rate (as defined in the Amended and Restated L/C Facility Agreement) plus 2.75% per annum until repaid.

 

RED-Rochester, LLC

 

In January 2019 Kodak entered into a series of agreements with RED-Rochester, LLC (“RED”), which provides utilities to Eastman Business Park. Kodak received a payment of $14 million from RED. Kodak is required to pay a minimum annual payment to RED of approximately $2 million regardless of utility usage. Kodak is accounting for the $14 million payment from RED as debt. The minimum payments required under the agreement from Kodak to RED are reported as a reduction of the debt and interest expense using the effective interest method. The debt payments to RED continue until August 2033.
