Senior Notes due 2028
On November 10, 2021, we sold in a registered public offering $50.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8.25% Senior Notes due November 30, 2028 (the “Senior Notes”). Net proceeds from the Senior Notes were approximately $47.5 million after deducting fees. The underwriter was granted an option to purchase up to an additional $7.5 million of the Senior Notes within 30 days. On December 7, 2021, the underwriter exercised the option and purchased an additional $6.5 million of the Senior Notes resulting in net proceeds of approximately $6.2 million after deducting fees. The Senior Notes have quarterly interest payments due on January 31, April 30, July 31, and October 31 of each year and on the maturity date.
At-the-Market Debt Offering Program
On December 17, 2021, we entered into an at-the-market debt offering program under which the Company may offer and sell from time to time on the NYSE American up to an aggregate principal amount of $200.0 million of additional Senior Notes. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, we sold approximately $1.2 million aggregate principal amount of additional Senior Notes for total proceeds of approximately $1.1 million after fees and commissions under our at-the-market debt offering program. See Note 16, Subsequent Events, for further information.
Extinguishment of the 2019 Term Loan
On May 23, 2019, Driftwood Holdings LP, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a senior secured term loan agreement (the “2019 Term Loan”) to borrow an aggregate principal amount of $60.0 million. On March 12, 2021 (the “Extinguishment Date”), we finalized a voluntary repayment of the remaining outstanding principal balance of the 2019 Term Loan. A total of approximately $43.7 million was repaid to the lender during the first quarter of 2021 to satisfy the outstanding borrowing obligation. The extinguishment of the 2019 Term Loan resulted in an approximately $2.1 million gain, which was recognized within Gain on extinguishment of debt, net, on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
As a result of repaying the outstanding balance prior to its contractual maturity, an approximately $4.4 million in unamortized DFC and discount were included in the computation of the gain from the extinguishment of the 2019 Term Loan as of March 31, 2021.
The holder of the 2019 Term Loan held approximately 3.5 million unvested warrants that had a fair value of approximately $6.3 million as of the Extinguishment Date. Due to the extinguishment of the 2019 Term Loan, all the unvested warrants were contractually terminated (the “Terminated Warrants”), and their respective fair value was included in the computation of the gain on extinguishment of the 2019 Term Loan. The fair value of the Terminated Warrants was determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model.
2018 Term Loan
On September 28, 2018, Tellurian Production Holdings LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Tellurian Inc., entered into a three-year senior secured term loan credit agreement (the “2018 Term Loan”) in an aggregate principal amount of $60.0 million. On February 18, 2021, we voluntarily repaid approximately $43.0 million of the 2018 Term Loan outstanding principal balance. As a result of this voluntary repayment, we recognized an approximately $0.5 million loss, which was netted
against the gain on extinguishment of the 2019 Term Loan, and presented within Gain on extinguishment of debt, net, on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations on this partial extinguishment due to the pro-rata recognition of the unamortized DFC and discount associated with the 2018 Term Loan.
Covenant Compliance
As of March 31, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the indenture governing the Senior Notes.
Trade Finance Credit Line
On July 19, 2021, we entered into an uncommitted trade finance credit line for up to $30.0 million that is intended to finance the purchase of LNG cargos for ultimate resale in the normal course of business. On December 7, 2021, the uncommitted trade finance credit line was amended and increased to $150.0 million. As of March 31, 2022, no amounts were drawn under this credit line.
