In June 2013, Navios Partners completed the issuance of the $250,000 Term Loan B facility. The Term Loan B facility bears an interest rate of LIBOR plus 425 basis points (“bps”) and has a five-year term with 1.0% amortization profile and was issued at 98.0% (at a discount of $5,000). Navios Partners used the net proceeds of the Term Loan B facility to: (i) prepay $101,614 of the July 2012 Credit Facility; (ii) fully repay the outstanding balance of $41,225 of the August 2012 Credit Facility; (iii) deposit $98,179 to be held in escrow, to partially finance part of the acquisition of four new vessels, of which $47,000 was released in September 2013 for the acquisition of the Navios Joy and $17,750 was released in October 2013 for the acquisition of the Navios Harmony; and (iv) cover fees and expenses. The refinancing of the August 2012 Credit Facility was accounted for as a debt extinguishment in accordance with ASC470 Debt and the remaining unamortized balance of $707 was written-off from the deferred financing fees.
On November 1, 2013, Navios Partners completed the issuance of a $189,500 add-on to its existing Term Loan B facility. The add-on to the Term Loan B facility bears the same terms as Term Loan B facility and was issued at 100%. Navios Partners used the net proceeds to partially finance the acquisition of five Container vessels.
On March 30, 2015, Navios Partners prepaid $21,000 of the Term Loan B facility. The prepayment was fully applied to the next instalments and part of the balloon payment. Following this prepayment, an amount of $256 was written off from the deferred financing fees.
The Term Loan B facility is secured by first priority mortgages covering certain vessels owned by subsidiaries of Navios Partners, in addition to other collateral and is guaranteed by each subsidiary of Navios Partners. The Term Loan B Agreement requires maintenance of a loan to value ratio of 0.8 to 1.0, and other restrictive covenants customary for facilities of this type (subject to negotiated exceptions and baskets), including restrictions on indebtedness, liens, acquisitions and investments, restricted payments and dispositions. The Term Loan B Agreement also provides for customary events of default.
As of June 30, 2015, the outstanding balance of the Term Loan B facility including the add-on was $408,329, net of discount of $2,963, and it is repayable with a final payment of $411,292, in June 2018.
