Senior Secured Notes
On June 11, 2020, the Company completed the issuance and sale of $350 million in aggregate principal amount of the Company’s Notes at the offering price of 98.5% of the aggregate principal amount.

The Notes will mature on June 15, 2025.

As reflected above, three of the Company’s committed credit facilities are scheduled to expire during the next twelve months following the quarterly period ended March 31, 2021. The Company intends to renew or replace the facilities as they expire, and based on the Company’s liquidity position and capital structure, the Company believes it will be able to do so.
The Company’s credit facility agreements contain financial covenants relating to financial measures on a consolidated basis, as well as on a certain stand-alone subsidiary basis, including minimum tangible net worth, minimum regulatory capital, minimum net unencumbered liquid assets, maximum net loss, minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and maximum funded debt to net worth ratio. Failure to comply with these covenants could result in the debt becoming payable on demand. As of March 31, 2021, the Company was in compliance with all of its financial covenants under its credit facilities.
