The Company has four committed credit facilities, including a senior secured term loan, under which the Company and its subsidiaries may borrow up to $808.8 million, subject to the terms and conditions for these facilities.

The facility also includes a Term Loan component with an original value of $196.5 million. The Company is required to make quarterly principal payments against the Term Loan equal to 1.25% of the original balance with the remaining balance due on the maturity date.

On June 11, 2020, the Company completed the issuance and sale of $350 million in aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 8.625% Senior Secured Notes due 2025 (the “Notes”) at the offering price of 98.5% of the aggregate principal amount. During June 2021, the Company redeemed $1.6 million principal amount of outstanding Notes, for 103% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest.
The Company used the proceeds from the issuance of the Notes to fund the consideration for the acquisition of Gain Capital Holdings, Inc., to pay acquisition related costs, and to fund the redemption of the Gain Notes. The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior second lien secured basis, by certain subsidiaries of the Company that guarantee the Company’s senior committed credit facility and by Gain and certain of its domestic subsidiaries.
The Notes will mature on June 15, 2025. Interest on the Notes accrues at a rate of 8.625% per annum and is payable semiannually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, commencing on December 15, 2020.

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 June 30, 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 June 30, 2021, the Company was in compliance with all of its financial covenants under its credit facilities.
