Convertible Senior Notes

 

On June 18, 2021, the Company issued $625.0 million aggregate principal amount of 0.75% unsecured Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (the “Notes”), including $75.0 million aggregate principal amount of such notes pursuant to the exercise in full of the overallotment option granted to the initial purchasers. The Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture (the “Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee.

 

The Notes bear interest at a rate of 0.75% per annum, payable semiannually in arrears on January 1 and July 1 of each year, beginning on January 1, 2022. The Notes will mature on July 1, 2026, subject to earlier repurchase, redemption or conversion. The total net proceeds from the offering, after deducting commissions paid to the initial purchasers and debt issuance costs paid to third-parties, were approximately $608.9 million.

 

Each $1,000 principal amount of the Notes will initially be convertible into 0.2232 shares of the Company’s common stock, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $4,480.29 per share, subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of specified events. The Notes are convertible, at the option of the noteholders, on or after April 1, 2026. Prior to April 1, 2026, the Notes are convertible only under the following circumstances:

 

During any fiscal quarter commencing after the fiscal quarter ending on September 30, 2021 (and only during such fiscal quarter), if the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price of the Notes on each applicable trading day;

 

During the five consecutive business day period after any ten consecutive trading day period in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes for each day of that ten consecutive trading day period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock and the conversion rate of the Notes on such trading day;

 

If the Company calls any or all of the Notes for redemption; or

 

Upon the occurrence of specific corporate events such as a change in control or certain beneficial distributions to common stockholders (as set forth in the Indenture).

 

The Company may settle conversions by paying or delivering, as applicable, cash, shares of its common stock or a combination of cash and shares of its common stock, at the Company’s election.

 

The Company may not redeem the Notes prior to July 6, 2024. On or after July 6, 2024, the Company may redeem all or any portion of the Notes for cash equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed plus any accrued and unpaid interest if the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period.

 

If the Company undergoes a fundamental change (as defined in the Indenture), subject to certain conditions, holders of the Notes may require the Company to repurchase for cash all or any portion of their Notes at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes plus any accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, if specific corporate events occur prior to the maturity date or if the Company issues a notice of redemption, the Company will increase the conversion rate by pre-defined amounts for a holder who elects to convert their Notes in connection with such a corporate event. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the conditions allowing holders of the Notes to convert were not met.

 

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company repurchased $18.2 million and $32.8 million in aggregate principal amount of the Notes, net of deferred issuance costs, for $7.3 million and $13.2 million, respectively, in open-market transactions. The Company recognized a gain on extinguishment of debt of $10.9 and $19.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.

 

The Company accounts for the Notes as a single liability-classified instrument measured at amortized cost. As of June 30, 2024, the unamortized debt discount and debt issuance costs was $2.9 million and the net carrying value was $287.6 million. As of December 31, 2023, the unamortized debt discount and debt issuance costs was $3.7 million and the net carrying value was $286.8 million.

The Notes were issued at par value and fees associated with the issuance of these Notes are amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the contractual term of the Notes. The interest expense was $0.9 million and $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $1.8 million and $2.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The effective interest rate of the Notes is 1.3%.

 

Securitization Debt of Consolidated VIEs

 

The securitization debt was issued under UACC's securitization program. The Company elected to account for the 2022-2 and 2023-1 securitization debt under the fair value option using the measurement alternative. Fair value adjustments are recorded in "Realized and unrealized losses, net of recoveries" in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Refer to Note 14 – Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements. The 2024-1 securitization debt is measured at amortized cost. For the 2022-2, 2023-1 and 2024-1 securitization transactions, the Company consolidated the VIEs and accounted for these transactions as secured borrowings. Refer to Note 4 – Variable Interest Entities and Securitizations for further discussion.

 

Upon the issuance of the securitization debt for the 2023-1 and 2024-1 securitization transactions, UACC retained the residual interests. UACC also retains the servicing rights for all finance receivables that were securitized; therefore, it

is responsible for the administration and collection of the amounts owed under the contracts. In the first quarter of 2023, UACC waived its servicing fees related to the 2022-2 securitization and subsequently consolidated the 2022-2 trust. The securitization agreements also require certain funds to be held in restricted cash accounts to provide additional collateral for the borrowings or to be applied to make payments on the securitization debt. Restricted cash under the various agreements totaled approximately $34.4 million and $28.5 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

 

Wholly owned bankruptcy remote subsidiaries of UACC were formed to facilitate the above asset-backed financing transactions. Bankruptcy remote refers to a legal structure in which it is expected that the applicable entity would not be included in any bankruptcy filing by its parent or affiliates. All of the assets of these subsidiaries have been pledged as collateral for the related debt. None of the assets of these subsidiaries are available to pay other creditors of the Company or its affiliates.

 

The securitization debt issued is included in "Long-term debt" on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The securitization debt of consolidated VIEs consisted of the following (in thousands):

Financing of Beneficial Interests in Securitizations

 

On May 3, 2023, UACC entered into a Risk Retention Financing Facility enabling it to finance asset-backed securities issued in its securitization transactions and held by UACC pursuant to applicable Risk Retention Rules. Under this facility, UACC sells such retained interests and agrees to repurchase them on a future date. In its initial transaction under this facility, UACC pledged $24.5 million of its retained beneficial interests as collateral, and received proceeds of $24.1 million, with expected repurchase dates ranging from March 2025 to September 2029. Following the completion of the 2024-1 securitization transaction, the Company pledged an additional $15.8 million of its retained beneficial interests as collateral under the Risk Retention Financing Facility, and received proceeds of $15.6 million, with expected repurchase dates ranging from August 2026 to November 2030 at the initial closing date. The securitization trusts will distribute payments related to UACC's pledged beneficial interests in securitizations directly to the lender, which will

reduce the beneficial interests in securitizations and the related debt balance. Pledged collateral levels are monitored and are generally maintained at an agreed-upon percentage of the fair value of the amounts borrowed during the life of the transactions. In the event of a decline in the fair value of the pledged collateral, UACC may be required to transfer cash or additional securities as pledged under this facility. At the termination of this agreement, UACC is obligated to return the amounts borrowed.
 

The outstanding balance of this facility, net of unamortized debt issuance costs, was $24.8 million and $15.4 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, and is included in "Long-term debt" on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the fair value of the collateral pledged under this facility was $25.0 million and $15.8 million, respectively.

 

Junior Subordinated Debentures

 

On July 31, 2003, UACC issued junior subordinated debentures (trust preferred securities) of $10.0 million through a subsidiary, UPFC Trust I. The trust issuer is a 100 percent owned finance subsidiary and the securities are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Vroom Automotive Finance Corporation. The interest is paid quarterly at a variable rate, equal to SOFR + 3.05%. The final maturity of these securities is on October 7, 2033; however, they can be called at par any time at the Company’s discretion.
