New Public Notes

The Company issued $17.9 million of New Public Notes during the third quarter of 2023. The new notes bear an interest rate of 9.75% per annum, payable quarterly at the end of March, June, September and December and mature on September 30, 2028. The Company may redeem the new notes, in whole or in part, at face value at any time after September 30, 2025.

Senior Secured Notes

The Company restructured its subordinated notes to Senior Secured Notes with its lender on September 30, 2023. The Senior Secured Notes mature on September 30, 2028, and bear an interest rate of 12.5% per annum. Interest is payable quarterly at the end of March, June, September, and December. Quarterly principal payments of $250,000 are required starting on December 31, 2023 through September 30, 2028. The Company may redeem the senior secured notes, in whole or in part, for a call premium of $1.8 million less 22% of the interest payment amounts that were paid prior to the date of redemption. The Company accounted for this restructuring as a debt modification because there was no concession made to the lender. The Company had $9.3 million of outstanding Senior Secured Notes as of June 30, 2024.

Debt issuance costs

The Company incurred $173,000 of restructuring costs from the lender related to the Senior Secured Notes. These costs were capitalized as debt issuance costs as of September 30, 2023.

As of June 30, 2024, the carrying value of the New Public Notes and Senior Secured Notes were offset by $1.5 million and $803,000 of capitalized costs, respectively. The debt issuance costs are amortized through interest expense over the life of the loans.

Debt covenants

The Senior Secured Notes contain various restrictive financial debt covenants that relate to the Company’s minimum tangible net worth, minimum fixed-charge coverage ratios, dividend paying capacity, reinsurance retentions and risk-based capital ratios. The Senior Secured Notes also require that any proceeds the Company receives from asset sales be used to pay down the principal. Debt covenants have been waived for violation of compliance as of December 31, 2023 and any potential future violations through May 31, 2025.

The following table shows the scheduled principal payments of the Company's debt as of June 30, 2024 (dollars in thousands):
