Alon Brands Term Loans. In March 2011, Alon Brands issued $30,000 five-year unsecured notes (the "Alon Brands Term Loans") to a group of investors including certain shareholders of Alon Israel and their affiliates. The notes will mature in March 2016. The group of investors have the right to request that principal payments of the loan will be paid in four equal, consecutive annual payments, starting in March 2013. Otherwise, the principal amount will be paid at the maturity date in March 2016.
Borrowings under the Alon Brands Term Loans bear interest at a rate of 7% per annum, payable on a semi-annual basis, provided that the interest rate will increase to 9% per annum solely with respect to the portion of the loan equal to the unexercised portion of the warrants described below.
The Alon Brands Term Loans contain certain restrictive covenants, including maintenance financial covenants.
In conjunction with the issuance of the notes, Alon issued 3,092,783 warrants to purchase shares of Alon USA Energy common stock at an initial exercise price per share of $9.70. The warrants are exercisable in whole or in part until March 2016, five years from the date of issuance.
At June 30, 2011, the Alon Brands Term Loan had an outstanding balance of $19,369 (net of unamortized discount). Alon is utilizing the effective interest method to amortize the discount over the life of the facility.
