The commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases constituted an event of default that accelerated our obligations under our Prepetition Senior Notes, the Prepetition ABL Facility, and Term Loan. Under the Bankruptcy Code, holders of our Prepetition Senior Notes and the lenders under our Term Loan and the Prepetition ABL Facility were stayed from taking any action against us as a result of this event of default.

On the Effective Date, all applicable agreements governing the obligations under the Term Loan, Prepetition Senior Notes and Prepetition ABL Facility were terminated. The Term Loan and Prepetition ABL Facility were paid in full and all outstanding obligations under the Prepetition Senior Notes were canceled in exchange for 94.25% of the pro forma common equity. For additional information concerning our bankruptcy proceedings under Chapter 11, see Note 2, Emergence from Voluntary Reorganization under Chapter 11.

Due to the application of fresh start accounting, our debt obligations were recognized at fair value on our condensed consolidated balance sheet at the Fresh Start Reporting Date, as described further in Note 3, Fresh Start Accounting. Additionally, a portion of the fair value of our Convertible Notes is classified as equity, as described further below.

On the Effective Date, pursuant to the terms of the Plan, we entered into a senior secured asset-based revolving credit agreement in an aggregate amount of $75 million (the “ABL Credit Facility”) among us and our domestic subsidiaries as borrowers (the “Borrowers”), the lenders party thereto and PNC Bank, National Association as administrative agent, and on August 7, 2020, we entered into a First Amendment to the ABL Credit Facility (together, herein referred to as the “ABL Credit Facility”) which, among other things, reduced the maximum amount of the revolving credit agreement to $40 million.

The maturity date of loans made under the ABL Credit Facility is the earliest of 90 days prior to maturity of the Senior Secured Notes or the Convertible Notes (both of which are described further below) and May 29, 2025. Borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility will bear interest at a rate of (i) the LIBOR rate (subject to a floor of 0%) plus an applicable margin of 375 basis points per annum or (ii) the base rate plus an applicable margin of 275 basis points per annum.

The ABL Credit Facility is guaranteed by the Borrowers and is secured by a first lien on the Borrowers’ accounts receivable and inventory, and the cash proceeds thereof, and a second lien on substantially all of the other assets and properties of the Borrowers.

The ABL Credit Facility limits our annual capital expenditures to 125% of the budget set forth in the projections for any fiscal year and provides that if our availability plus pledged cash of up to $3 million falls below $6 million (15% of the maximum revolver amount), we will be required to comply with a fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.0 to 1.0, all of which is defined in the ABL Credit Facility. As of September 30, 2020, we had no borrowings and approximately $8.8 million in outstanding letters of credit under the ABL Credit Facility and subject to the availability requirements in the ABL Credit Facility, based on eligible accounts receivable and inventory balances at September 30, 2020, availability under the ABL Credit Facility was $10.7 million, which our access to would be limited by (i) our requirement to maintain 15% available or comply with a fixed charge coverage ratio, as described above and (ii) the requirement to maintain availability of at least $4.0 million, which may include up to $2.0 million of pledged cash.

We entered into an indenture, dated as of the Effective Date, among the Company and Wilmington Trust, N.A., as trustee (the “Convertible Notes Indenture”), and issued $129.8 million aggregate principal amount of convertible senior unsecured pay-in-kind notes due 2025 thereunder (the “Convertible Notes”). We received net issuance proceeds of $120.2 million, which was net of the $9.6 million Backstop Commitment Premium.

The Convertible Notes are general unsecured obligations which will mature on November 15, 2025, unless earlier accelerated, redeemed, converted or repurchased, and bear interest at a fixed rate of 5% per annum, which will be payable semi-annually on May 15 and November 15 in-kind in the form of an increase to the principal amount. The Convertible Notes are convertible at the option of the holders at any time into shares of our common stock and will convert mandatorily into our common stock at maturity; provided, however, that if the value of our common stock otherwise deliverable in connection with a mandatory conversion of a Convertible Note on the maturity date would be less than the principal amount of such Convertible Note plus accrued and unpaid interest, then the Convertible Note will instead convert into an amount of cash equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest. The initial conversion rate is 75 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the Convertible Notes, which in aggregate represents 9,732,825 shares of common stock and an initial conversion price of $13.33 per share. The conversion rate is subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments.

If we undergo a “fundamental change” as defined in the Convertible Notes Indenture, subject to certain conditions, holders may require us to repurchase all or any portion of their Convertible Notes for cash at an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be repurchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest. In the case of certain fundamental change events that constitute merger events (as defined in the Convertible Notes Indenture), we have a superseding right to cause the mandatory conversion of all or part of the Convertible Notes into a number of shares of common stock, per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes, equal to the then-current conversion rate or the cash value of such number of shares of common stock (but not less than the principal amount).

Holders of Convertible Notes are entitled to vote on all matters on which holders of our common stock generally are entitled to vote (or, if any, to take action by written consent of the holders of our common stock), voting together as a single class together with the shares of our common stock and not as a separate class, on an as-converted basis, at any annual or special meeting of holders of our common stock and each holder is entitled to such number of votes as such holder would receive on an as-converted basis on the record date for such vote.

The Convertible Notes Indenture contains customary events of default and covenants that limit our ability and the ability of certain of our subsidiaries to incur, assume or guarantee additional indebtedness and create liens and enter into mergers or consolidations.

Because the Convertible Notes contain an embedded conversion option whereby they, or a portion of them, may be settled in cash, we have separately accounted for the liability and equity components of the Convertible Notes in accordance with the accounting requirements for convertible debt instruments set forth in ASC Topic 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options. The initial fair value of the Convertible Notes was estimated in accordance with the application of Fresh Start Accounting, as described further in Note 3, Fresh Start Accounting. In order to allocate the initial fair value, we first calculated the value of the liability component by estimating the fair value for the debt instrument as if it did not contain a conversion feature. The amount by which the initial fair value of the Convertible Notes exceeded the estimated fair value of the liability component represented the estimated fair value of the equity component. We also allocated the debt issuance costs incurred to the liability and equity components, for which the portion attributable to the equity component is netted with the respective equity component in additional paid-in capital.

We entered into an indenture, dated as of the Effective Date, among the Company, the subsidiary guarantors party thereto and Wilmington Trust, N.A., as trustee (the “Senior Secured Notes Indenture”), and issued $78.1 million aggregate principal amount of floating rate senior secured notes due 2025 (the “Senior Secured Notes”) thereunder. The Senior Secured Notes are guaranteed on a senior secured basis by our existing subsidiaries that also guarantee our obligations under the ABL Credit Facility (the “Guarantors”) on a full and unconditional basis and are secured by a second lien on the accounts receivable and inventory and a first lien on substantially all of the other assets and properties (including the cash proceeds thereof) of the Company and the Guarantors. We received net issuance proceeds of $75 million, which was net of the original issue discount of $3.1 million.

The Senior Secured Notes will mature on May 15, 2025 and interest will accrue at the rate of LIBOR plus 9.5% per annum, with a LIBOR rate floor of 1.5%, payable quarterly in arrears on February 15, May 15, August 15 and November 15 of each year, commencing on August 15, 2020. With respect to any interest payment due on or prior to May 29, 2021, 50% of the interest will be payable in cash and 50% of the interest will be paid in-kind in the form of an increase to the principal amount; however, a majority in interest of the holders of the Senior Secured Notes may elect to have 100% of the interest due on or prior to May 29, 2021 payable in-kind. For all interest periods commencing on or after May 15, 2024, the interest rate for the Senior Secured Notes will be a rate equal to LIBOR plus 10.50%, with a LIBOR rate floor of 1.5%.

We may redeem all or part of the Senior Secured Notes on or after June 1, 2021 at redemption prices (expressed as percentages of the principal amount) equal to (i) 104% for the twelve-month period beginning on June 1, 2021; (ii) 102% for the twelve-month period beginning on June 1, 2022; (iii) 101% for the twelve-month period beginning on June 1, 2023 and (iv) 100% for the twelve-month period beginning June 1, 2024 and at any time thereafter, plus accrued and unpaid interest at the redemption date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a change of control (as defined in the Senior Secured Notes Indenture) occurs prior to June 1, 2022, we may elect to purchase all remaining outstanding Senior Secured Notes not tendered to us as described below at a redemption price equal to 103% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to the applicable redemption date. If a change of control (as defined in the Senior Secured Notes Indenture) occurs, holders of the Senior Secured Notes will have the right to require us to repurchase all or any part of their Senior Secured Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the repurchase date.

The Senior Secured Notes Indenture contains a minimum asset coverage ratio of 1.5 to 1.0 as of any June 30 or December 31, beginning December 31, 2020. The Senior Secured Notes Indenture provides for certain customary events of default and contains covenants that limit, among other things, our ability and the ability of certain of our subsidiaries, to incur, assume or guarantee additional indebtedness; pay dividends or distributions on capital stock or redeem or repurchase capital stock; make investments; repay junior debt; sell stock of our subsidiaries; transfer or sell assets; enter into sale and lease back transactions; create liens; enter into transactions with affiliates; and enter into mergers or consolidations.

Having completed qualifying asset sales in the aggregate of $7.2 million by the end of September 2020, we commenced and completed an offer to purchase $2.2 million in aggregate principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes in October 2020 in accordance with the Senior Secured Notes Indenture, at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest through, but not including, the purchase date. As a result, the $2.2 million of Senior Secured Notes is presented as a current liability in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2020. The purchase was funded through cash on hand, which is classified as “restricted cash” as of September 30, 2020.

Costs incurred in connection with the issuance of our Convertible Notes (which were allocated to the liability component, as described above) and Senior Secured Notes, as well as the issuance discounts, were capitalized and are being amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the related debt instrument. Costs incurred in connection with our ABL Credit Facility were capitalized and are being amortized using the straight-line method over the expected term of the agreement. Our unamortized debt issuance costs and discounts are presented below (amounts in thousands):
