Bank Line of Credit

In December 2014, the Company entered into credit facility agreements with a syndicate of banks to borrow amounts that were used to pay off an existing line of credit, and obtain funding for working capital and general corporate purposes. The credit facility agreements had a $50.0 million committed facility which included a $1.0 million letter of credit sub-facility. On April 1, 2015, the Company paid off the unpaid balance of $49.7 million under the credit facility agreements, which included accrued interest and other fees, and terminated the facility.

In April 2015, the Company entered into a new syndicated working capital facility with banks for a total commitment of up to $205.0 million. The working capital facility is secured by substantially all of the unencumbered assets of the Company as well as ownership interests in certain subsidiaries of the Company.

Under the terms of the new working capital facility, the Company is required to meet various restrictive covenants, including meeting certain reporting requirements, such as the completion and presentation of audited consolidated financial statements. The Company is also required to maintain minimum unencumbered liquidity of at least $25.0 million in the aggregate as of the last day of each calendar month. The Company is further required to maintain a modified interest coverage ratio of 2.00:1.00 or greater, measured quarterly as of the last day of each quarter. The Company was in compliance with all debt covenants as of December 31, 2015.

Non-Bank Term Loans

In 2013, a subsidiary of the Company entered into an agreement with a non-bank lender for a term loan with an aggregate amount of up to $119.5 million. The proceeds of this term loan were principally used to finance the design, procurement, and installation of solar systems. The loan was collateralized by the assets and related cash flows of the borrower subsidiary and is non-recourse to our other assets.

In April 2015, the Company paid $3.5 million to repay the remaining outstanding balance of the non-bank term loan and incurred a loss on extinguishment charge of $0.4 million, which is recorded in non-operating loss from ordinary operations on our statement of operations.

Syndicated Credit Facilities

In December 2014, subsidiaries of the Company entered into secured credit facilities agreements with a syndicate of banks for up to $195.4 million in committed facilities. These facilities include a $158.5 million senior term loan (“Term Loan A”) and a $24.0 million subordinated term loan (“Term Loan B”). In addition, the credit facilities also include a $5.0 million working capital revolver commitment and a $7.9 million senior secured revolving letter of credit facility which draws are solely for the purpose of satisfying the required debt service reserve amount if necessary. Term Loan A, the working capital revolver and the letter of credit bear interest at a rate of LIBOR + 2.75% with a 25 basis point step up triggered on the fourth anniversary. Term Loan B bears interest at a rate of LIBOR + 5.00% with a LIBOR floor of not less than 1.00%. Prepayments are permitted under Term Loan A at par without premium or penalty, and under Term Loan B prepayment penalties range from 0%-2%, depending on the timing of the prepayment. The proceeds of these facilities were used to repay certain non-bank term loans of $94.4 million and to fund general corporate needs.

One of the Company’s subsidiaries is the borrower under the Term Loan A agreement and another of the Company’s subsidiaries is the borrower under the Term Loan B agreement. All obligations under the Term Loan A, working capital revolver and letter of credit are collateralized by the subsidiary borrower’s membership interests and assets in the Company’s investment Funds. All obligations under the Term Loan B are collateralized by the membership interest in the subsidiary borrower. The credit facilities also contain certain provisions in the event of default, which entitle lenders to take actions, including acceleration of amounts due under the credit facilities and acquisition of membership interests and assets that are pledged to the lenders under the terms of the credit facilities.

The Company is required to maintain certain financial measurements and reporting covenants under the terms of the credit facilities. At December 31, 2015, the Company was in compliance with the credit facility covenants.

Bank Term Loan

In December 2013, a subsidiary of the Company entered into an agreement with a bank for a term loan of $38.0 million. The proceeds of this term loan were distributed to the members of this subsidiary, including the Company. The loan is secured by the assets and related cash flow of this subsidiary and is nonrecourse to the Company’s other assets. The Company was in compliance with all debt covenants as of December 31, 2015.

Notes Payable

In December 2013, a subsidiary of the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement with an investor for the issuance of senior notes in exchange for proceeds of $27.2 million. The loan proceeds were distributed to the Company for general corporate purposes. On the last business day of each quarter, commencing with March 31, 2014, to the extent the Company’s subsidiary has insufficient funds to pay the full amount of the stated interest of the outstanding loan balance, a PIK interest rate of 12% is accrued and added to the outstanding balance. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the portion of the outstanding loan balance that related to PIK interest was $6.3 million and $2.9 million, respectively. The senior notes are secured by the assets and related cash flows of certain of the Company’s subsidiaries and are nonrecourse to the Company’s other assets. The entire outstanding principal balance is payable in full on the maturity date. The Company was in compliance with all debt covenants as of December 31, 2015.

Solar Asset-Backed Notes

In July 2015, the Company entered into a securitization transaction pursuant to which the Company pooled and transferred qualifying solar energy systems and related lease agreements secured by associated customer contracts (“Solar Assets”) into a special purpose entity (“Issuer”), and issued $100.0 million in aggregate principal of Solar Asset-Backed Notes, Series 2015-1, Class A, and $11.0 million in aggregate principal of Solar Asset-Backed Notes, Class B, backed by these Solar Assets to certain investors (“Notes”). The Issuer is wholly owned by the Company and is consolidated in the Company’s financial statements. Accordingly, the Company did not recognize a gain or loss on the transfer of these assets. As of December 31, 2015, these Solar Assets had a carrying value of $190.2 million and are included under Solar energy systems, net, in the consolidated balance sheets. The Notes were issued at a discount of 0.08%.

The Company retained $7.3 million net of fees from proceeds from the Notes. In connection with the transaction, the Company modified two lease pass-through arrangements with an investor. The lease pass-through arrangements had been accounted for as a borrowing and any amounts outstanding from the arrangements were reported as lease pass-through financing obligation as further explained in Note 13, Lease Pass-Through Financing Obligations. The balance that was then outstanding under these arrangements was $119.7 million. The Company partially repaid this obligation by paying the investor an aggregate amount of $88.9 million. The Company accounted for the modification of the lease pass-through obligation as a modification of debt and did not record any gain or loss on the transaction.

The modified lease-pass through arrangements require the majority of the cash flows generated by the Solar Assets to be passed on to the Issuer through monthly lease payments from the investor. Those cash flows are used to service the monthly Note principal and interest payments and satisfy the Issuer’s expenses, and any residual cash flows are retained by the fund investor and recorded as a reduction in the remaining financing obligation. The Company recognizes revenue earned from the associated Customer Agreements in accordance with the Company’s revenue recognition policy. The assets and cash flows generated by the Solar Assets are not available to the other creditors of the Company, and the creditors of the Issuer, including the Note holders, have no recourse to the Company’s other assets. The Company was in compliance with all debt covenants as of December 31, 2015.
