CONVERTIBLE NOTES AND OTHER DEBTS CONVERTIBLE NOTES AND OTHER DEBTS
4.375% Convertible Senior Notes due 2022 (the “2022 Notes”)
In June 2020, the Company issued the 2022 Notes with an aggregate principal amount of $37.7 million in a non-cash exchange for its 2020 Notes with an equal principal amount pursuant to an indenture, dated June 2, 2020 (the “2022 Notes Indenture”), by and between the Company and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association (as successor in interest to U.S. Bank National Association), as trustee. The 2022 Notes bore interest at a rate of 4.375% per year, payable in cash on June 1 and December 1 of each year. The 2022 Notes matured on December 1, 2022.
The 2022 Notes were initially convertible into cash, shares of the Company’s common stock, or a combination thereof, at the Company’s election, at an initial conversion rate of 173.9978 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 2022 Notes (which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $5.75 per share). Pursuant to the supplemental indenture entered into by the Company and the trustee during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company made an irrevocable election to settle the principal amounts of the 2022 Notes solely with cash and may pay or deliver, as the case may be, any conversion value greater than the principal amount in cash, shares of the Company’s common stock or a combination thereof, at the Company’s election. The conversion rate, and thus the effective conversion price, was adjustable under certain circumstances, including in connection with conversions made following certain fundamental changes and under other circumstances as set forth in the 2022 Notes Indenture.
As discussed in the Note 2. “Recent Accounting Pronouncements”, effective January 1, 2022, the Company adopted ASU 2020-06 using the modified retrospective method and, as a result, accounted for the Convertible debt as a single liability measured at amortized cost.
On or after September 1, 2022, until the close of business on the scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders of the 2022 Notes were able to convert all or a portion of their 2022 Notes regardless of any conditions. Prior to maturity date, the entire principal balance of $37.7 million was converted by holders of the 2022 Notes. In accordance with provisions of the 2022 Notes Indenture and the aforementioned supplemental indenture, conversions were settled in a combination of cash and the Company’s common Stock. The principal amount of $37.7 million that matured on December 1, 2022 was paid in cash. The conversion value greater than the principal amount was delivered in 3.9 million shares of the Company’s common stock.

2.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2024 (the “2024 Notes”)
In September 2019, the Company issued $115.5 million of the 2024 Notes pursuant to an indenture (the “2024 Notes Indenture”), dated September 13, 2019, by and between the Company and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association (as successor in interest to U.S. Bank National Association), as trustee. The 2024 Notes bear interest at a rate of 2.00% per year, payable semi-annually on March 1 and September 1 of each year, beginning March 1, 2020. The 2024 Notes will mature on September 1, 2024, unless earlier repurchased by the Company, redeemed by the Company or converted pursuant to their terms.
The 2024 Notes were initially convertible into cash, shares of the Company’s common stock, or a combination thereof, at the Company’s election, at an initial conversion rate of 115.5001 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 2024 Notes (which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $8.66 per share). Pursuant to the supplemental indenture entered into by the Company and the trustee during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company made an irrevocable election to settle the principal amounts of the 2024 Notes solely with cash and may pay or deliver, as the case may be, any conversion value greater than the principal amount in cash, shares of the Company’s common stock or a combination thereof, at the Company’s election. The conversion rate, and thus the effective conversion price, may be adjusted under certain circumstances, including in connection with conversions made following certain fundamental changes or a notice of redemption and under other circumstances, in each case, as set forth in the 2024 Notes Indenture.
The 2024 Notes will be convertible at certain times and upon the occurrence of certain events in the future, in each case, specified in the 2024 Notes Indenture. Further, on or after June 1, 2024, until the close of business on the scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders of the 2024 Notes may convert all or a portion of their 2024 Notes regardless of these conditions.
In accordance with the accounting guidance on embedded conversion features, the conversion feature associated with the 2024 Notes was valued at $24.9 million and bifurcated from the host debt instrument and recorded in “Additional paid-in capital.” The resulting debt discount on the 2024 Notes was being amortized, prior to adoption of ASU 2020-06, to interest expense at the effective interest rate over the contractual term of the 2024 Notes.
As discussed in the Note 2. “Recent Accounting Pronouncements”, effective January 1, 2022, the Company adopted ASU 2020-06 using the modified retrospective method and, as a result, accounted for the Convertible debt as a single liability measured at amortized cost.
The 2024 Notes became convertible as of December 31, 2022, as the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock for at least 20 trading days during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter was greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price of the 2024 Notes on each applicable trading day. All $114.0 million of the net carrying amount of the 2024 Notes outstanding as of December 31, 2022 was classified as a current liability as of that date.

Relief Loans
In June 2020, Harmonic France was granted a loan from Société Générale S.A. (the “SG Loan”) in the aggregate amount of 5 million Euros, pursuant to a state guarantee program introduced in March 2020 to provide relief to companies from the financial consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic. The SG Loan was initially maturing in June 2021. During 2021, SG Loan maturity was extended to June 2026. The SG loan bears an effective interest rate of 0.51% per annum payable annually and may be repaid at any time prior to maturity with no repayment penalties. There are no restrictions on the use of funds from the SG Loan. The purpose of the funds from the SG Loan is to allow the preservation of activity and employment in France. As of December 31, 2022, there was $5.3 million outstanding under the loan, of which $1.3 million was recorded in “Other debts, current” and $4.0 million was recorded in “Other debts, non-current” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Line of Credit
On December 19, 2019, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as lender, and Harmonic International GmbH, as co-borrower (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provides for a secured revolving loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $25.0 million, based on a borrowing base of eligible accounts receivable and inventory. The Company may use availability under the revolving loan facility for the issuance of letters of credit. The proceeds of the revolving loans may be used for general corporate purposes.
On October 28, 2022, the Company amended the Credit Agreement to (i) extend the Credit Agreement maturity date to October 28, 2025 or subject to certain exceptions, the date that is 90 days prior to the maturity date of the 2024 Notes (to the extent the 2024 Notes remain outstanding as of such date) and (ii) amend the interest rate provisions to LIBOR with SOFR as the interest rate benchmark for the revolving loans. As amended, the revolving loans bear interest, at the Company’s election, at a floating rate per annum equal to either (1) 2.00% plus the greater of (i) 2.50% and (ii) the prime rate as reported in the Wall Street Journal from time to time or (2) 3.00% plus adjusted term SOFR for an interest period of one, three or six months. Except in cases of default, prepayment or conversion, Interest on the revolving loans is payable monthly in arrears, in the case of prime rate loans, and at the end of the applicable interest period, in the case of SOFR loans. 
The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants limiting the ability of the Company, among other things, incur debt, grant liens, undergo certain fundamental changes, make investments, make certain restricted payments, dispose of assets, enter into transactions with affiliates, and enter into burdensome agreements, in each case, subject to limitations and exceptions set forth in the Credit Agreement. The Company is also required to maintain compliance with an adjusted quick ratio, a minimum EBITDA covenant (tested quarterly) and a minimum liquidity covenant, in each case, determined in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement. As of December 31, 2022, the Company was in compliance with the covenants under the Credit Agreement.
There were no borrowings under the Credit Agreement outstanding as of December 31, 2022.
