Senior Credit Facilities

On July 12, 2017, subsidiaries of the Company entered into a First Lien Credit Agreement with Royal Bank of Canada, Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch, Natixis, New York Branch and KKR Corporate Lending LLC (the “Credit Agreement”) providing Exela Intermediate LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement, (i) a $350.0 million senior secured term loan scheduled to mature July 12, 2023 with an original issue discount of $7.0 million, and (ii) a $100.0 million senior secured revolving facility scheduled to mature on July 12, 2022 (the “Revolving Credit Facility”).

On July 13, 2018, subsidiaries of the Company were able to refinance the $343.4 million of term loans then outstanding under the Credit Agreement (the “Repricing Term Loans”) and borrowed an additional $30.0 million pursuant to incremental term loans (the “2018 Incremental Term Loans”). On April 16, 2019, subsidiaries of the Company borrowed a further $30.0 million pursuant to incremental term loans (the “2019 Incremental Term Loans”, and, together with the 2018 Incremental Terms Loans and Repricing Term Loans, referred to herein as the “2023 Term Loans”). The subsidiaries of the Company made periodic interest and principal repayments on the 2023 Term Loan under the terms of the loan agreements.

On December 9, 2021, in a private exchange transaction, subsidiaries of the Company exchanged $212.1 million of 2023 Term Loans for $84.3 million in cash and $127.8 million principal amount of new 11.500% First-Priority Senior Secured Notes scheduled to mature July 12, 2026 (the “2026 Notes”) issued by Exela Intermediate LLC and Exela Finance Inc., wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company (together, the “Issuers”).

As a result of the private exchange, repurchases (as discussed below) and periodic principal repayments, $48.4 million aggregate principal amount of the 2023 Term Loans were outstanding as of July 11, 2023, the date the Company fully repaid and discharged the remaining outstanding balance of the 2023 Term Loans by making a cash payment of $44.8 million and by issuance of $3.0 million principal amount of new 11.500% First-Priority Senior Secured Notes scheduled to mature on April 15, 2026 (the “New Notes”) and issued by the Issuers in an exchange transaction (as discussed below). The Company recorded $0.6 million debt extinguishment gain on repayment of the 2023 Term Loans under ASC 470-50 and reported within debt modification and extinguishment costs (gain), net in our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.

The 2023 Term Loans bore interest at a rate per annum of, at the borrower’s option, either (a) a LIBOR rate determined by reference to the costs of funds for Eurodollar deposits for the interest period relevant to such borrowing, adjusted for certain additional costs, subject to a 1.0% floor, or (b) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, (ii) the prime rate and (iii) the one-month adjusted LIBOR plus 1.0%, in each case plus an applicable margin of 6.5% for LIBOR loans and 5.5% for base rate loans.

Revolving Credit Facility; Letters of Credit

As of December 31, 2021, the $100 million Revolving Credit Facility was fully drawn taking into account approximately $0.5 million in letters of credit issued thereunder as of such date. As of December 31, 2022, the Revolving Credit Facility had been prepaid and terminated as described below.

On March 7, 2022, subsidiaries of the Company entered into a Revolving Loan Exchange and Prepayment Agreement with Royal Bank of Canada, Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch, KKR Corporate Lending LLC, Granite State Capital Master Fund LP, Credit Suisse Loan Funding LLC and Revolvercap Partners Fund LP exchanging $100.0 million of outstanding Revolving Credit Facility owed by Exela Intermediate LLC, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Revolver Exchange agreement, for (i) $50.0 million in cash, and (ii) $50.0 million of 2026 Notes (such exchange, the “Revolver Exchange” and such 2026 Notes, the “Exchange Notes”). Prepayment of Revolving Credit Facility was treated as an extinguishment of debt under ASC 470-50. Accordingly, the Company wrote off the unamortized balance of $0.2 million of debt issuance costs related to Revolving Credit Facility and reported it within debt modification and extinguishment costs (gain), net in our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

The Exchange Notes were subject to a guarantee in the form of a true-up mechanism whereby subsidiaries of the Company were responsible to make a payment to the holders of the Exchange Notes to true-up the shortfall below certain agreed thresholds, if holders of the Exchange Notes sold their notes at a price below that threshold during agreed periods in 2022. As security for the true-up obligation under the Revolver Exchange, subsidiaries of the Company issued $10.0 million of principal amount of 2026 Notes as collateral (the “Collateral Notes”). The Collateral Notes were not reflected in the consolidated financial statements unless and until they were sold to third parties. On March 7, 2022, we recognized $17.4 million (the fair value of the true-up obligation as accounted for under ASC 450, Contingencies and ASC 460, Guarantees) as a true-up liability with an offsetting debit to the original issuance discount of the issued Exchange Notes on the closing date of the Revolver Exchange. On May 6, 2022, subsidiaries of the Company amended the true-up mechanism and placed an additional $20.0 million of principal amount of Collateral Notes and paid $5.0 million against the true-up amount payable. We remeasured our obligation under the true-up mechanism as of September 30, 2022 and accrued an additional $13.6 million of true-up liability based on the fair value of our obligation in other expense, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

In July 2022, $9.0 million of principal amount of the Collateral Notes were sold by the holders of the Exchange Notes for net proceeds of $2.6 million and the proceeds were applied against the true-up amount payable. Additionally, in July 2022, the Company made a cash payment of $2.1 million which was applied against the true-up amount payable.

In August 2022, the remaining balance of $20.2 million of net true-up liability was settled with cash payments of $9.9 million and by permitting the holders of the Exchange Notes to keep the $21.0 million of principal amount of 2026 Notes previously placed as Collateral Notes constituting an issuance. The Company made a net reversal of $1.1 million of accrued true-up liability in other expense (income), net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.

2023 Notes

On July 12, 2017, the Issuers issued $1.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of 10.0% First Priority Senior Secured Notes due 2023 (the “2023 Notes”). The 2023 Notes were guaranteed by nearly all U.S. subsidiaries of Exela Intermediate LLC. The 2023 Notes bore interest at a rate of 10.0% per year. The issuers paid interest on the 2023 Notes on January 15 and July 15 of each year, commencing January 15, 2018.

On December 9, 2021, upon the settlement of a public exchange, $662.7 million aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes were issued and an aggregate $225.0 million in cash (plus accrued but unpaid interest) was paid to participating holders in respect of the validly tendered $912.7 million principal amount of outstanding 2023 Notes. The Company concluded that the public exchange of notes represented modification of debt under ASC 470-50.

As a result of the public exchange and repurchases (as discussed below), $9.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2023 Notes remained outstanding as of July 11, 2023, the date the Company fully repaid the remaining outstanding balance of the 2023 Notes in cash.

2026 Notes

As of December 31, 2022, the Issuers had $980.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes outstanding. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, no 2026 Notes were sold by subsidiaries of the Company. The 2026 Notes are guaranteed by nearly all U.S. subsidiaries of Exela Intermediate LLC. The 2026 Notes bear interest at a rate of 11.5% per year. We are required to pay interest on the 2026 Notes on January 15 and July 15 of each year, and commenced making such interest payments on July 15, 2022. The 2026 Notes are scheduled to mature on July 12, 2026. The Issuers may redeem the 2026 Notes in whole or in part from time to time, at a redemption price of 100%, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date.

On July 11, 2023, the Issuers, certain guarantors and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee, entered into an indenture (the “New Notes Indenture”) governing the Company’s New Notes and issued approximately $764.8 million aggregate principal amount of the New Notes as consideration for the exchange of $956.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Issuers’ existing 2026 Notes pursuant to a public exchange offer (the “2023 Exchange”), which was equivalent to issuing $800 of the New Notes per $1,000 principal amount of the existing 2026 Notes. The Company performed an assessment of the 2023 Exchange and determined that it met the criteria to be accounted for as a troubled debt restructuring under ASC 470-60. The undiscounted cash flows associated with the New Notes issued were compared to the carrying value of the exchanged 2026 Notes and since the undiscounted cash flows of the New Notes exceeded the carrying value of the exchanged 2026 Notes, the carrying value of the New Notes was established at the carrying value of the exchanged 2026 Notes and the Company established new effective interest rates based on the carrying value of the exchanged 2026 Notes prior to the 2023 Exchange. The difference between the principal amount of the issued New Notes and their carrying value was recorded as a premium and is included in long-term debt on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company recorded a premium of $142.3 million on the notes exchange, which will be reduced as contractual interest payments are made on the New Notes.

On July 11, 2023, we entered into a seventh supplemental indenture to the 2026 Notes Indenture which eliminated substantially all of the restrictive covenants, eliminated certain events of default, modified covenants regarding mergers and consolidations and modified or eliminated certain other provisions, including certain provisions relating to future guarantors and defeasance, contained in the 2026 Notes Indenture and the 2026 Notes. In addition, all of the collateral securing the 2026 Notes was released pursuant to the seventh supplemental indenture.

The July 11, 2023 transaction resulted in cancellation of debt income (“CODI”) for tax purposes. Absent an exception, a debtor recognizes CODI upon discharge of its outstanding indebtedness for an amount of consideration that is less than the outstanding debt. The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the “Code”), provides that a debtor may exclude CODI from taxable income but must reduce certain of its tax attributes by the amount of CODI. Pursuant to the US tax rules, the Company computes the final CODI calculation based on the tax basis as of the last day of the fiscal tax year (i.e., December 31, 2023) which includes the date in which the debt transaction occurred. As such, the Company applied its best estimate as of July 12, 2023 (transaction date) to compute the CODI impact knowing that certain amounts will change based on regular business operations. For the period ended September 30, 2023, the Company estimated CODI in the amount of $600 million will be excluded from taxable income and result in a partial reduction in the gross U.S. federal and state net operating losses. The Company will finalize the tax effects of CODI, including the estimated tax effects of tax basis and attribute reduction recognized as a result of the debt transaction in the final December 31, 2023 financial statements and subsequent tax return filings.

As a result of the 2023 Exchange and repurchases (as discussed below), $24.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes maturing July 12, 2026 remained outstanding as of September 30, 2023.

Senior Secured New Notes

On July 11, 2023, the Issuers issued approximately $767.8 million aggregate principal amount of the New Notes under the New Notes Indenture, which includes the New Notes issued under the 2023 Exchange (as described above) and as consideration for the exchange of certain of the Company’s outstanding 2023 Term Loans (as described above). The New Notes are scheduled to mature on April 15, 2026.

Interest on the New Notes will accrue at 11.500% per annum and will be paid semi-annually, in arrears, on January 15 and July 15 of each year, beginning July 15, 2023. Interest will be payable in cash or in kind by issuing additional New Notes (or increasing the principal amount of the outstanding New Notes) (“PIK Interest”) as described below: (A) for the July 15, 2023 interest payment date, such interest was paid in kind as PIK Interest, (B) for each interest payment date from and including the January 15, 2024 interest payment date through and including the July 15, 2024 interest payment date, such interest shall be paid in cash in an amount equal to (i) 50% of such interest plus (ii) an amount not to exceed an amount that, pro forma for such payment, would leave the issuers with Unrestricted Cash (as defined in the New Notes Indenture) of at least $15.0 million, with the remaining interest paid in kind as PIK Interest, and (C) for interest payment dates falling on or after January 15, 2025, such interest shall be paid in cash.

On July 15, 2023, the Company issued $44.1 million in aggregate principal amount of the New Notes as a payment for PIK Interest due on July 15, 2023. $811.9 million aggregate principal amount of the New Notes maturing April 15, 2026 remained outstanding as of September 30, 2023.

The Issuers’ obligations under the New Notes and the New Notes Indenture are irrevocably and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by the same guarantors (the “Guarantors”) that guarantee the 2026 Notes (other than certain guarantors that have ceased to have operations or assets) and by certain of the Issuers’ other affiliates (the “Affiliated Guarantors”). The New Notes and the related guarantees are first-priority senior secured obligations of the Issuers, the Guarantors and Affiliated Guarantors.

The issuers may redeem the New Notes at their option, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at a redemption price of 100%, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date. In addition, the New Notes will be mandatorily redeemable in part upon the sale of certain assets that constitute additional credit support.

The New Notes Indenture contains covenants that limit the Issuers’ and the Affiliated Guarantors (as defined below) and their respective subsidiaries’ ability to, among other things, (i) incur or guarantee additional indebtedness, (ii) pay dividends or distributions on, or redeem or repurchase, capital stock and make other restricted payments, (iii) make investments, (iv) consummate certain asset sales, (v) engage in certain transactions with affiliates, (vi) grant or assume certain liens and (vii) consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of their assets. These covenants are subject to a number of important limitations and exceptions. In addition, upon the occurrence of specified change of

control events, the Issuers must offer to repurchase the New Notes at 101% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the applicable repurchase date. The New Notes Indenture also provides for events of default, which, if any of them occurs, would permit or require the principal, premium, if any, interest and any other monetary obligations on all of the then outstanding New Notes to be due and payable immediately.

Repurchases

In July 2021, the Company commenced a debt buyback program to repurchase senior secured indebtedness, which is ongoing. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we repurchased $15.0 million principal amount of the Exchange Notes issued under the Revolver Exchange (as discussed above) for a net cash consideration of $4.7 million. The gain on early extinguishment of debt for the Exchange Notes during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 totaled $5.3 million and is inclusive of $5.0 million and $0.1 million write off of original issue discount and debt issuance costs, respectively.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we repurchased $13.8 million principal amount of the 2023 Notes for a cash consideration of $4.4 million. The gain on early extinguishment of debt for the 2023 Notes during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 totaled $9.9 million and is inclusive of less than $0.1 million write off of original issue discount and debt issuance costs. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we repurchased $15.1 million principal amount of the 2023 Term Loans for a cash consideration of $8.0 million. The gain on early extinguishment of debt for the 2023 Term Loans during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 totaled $7.1 million and is inclusive of less than $0.1 million write off of original issue discount and debt issuance costs. Gain on the early extinguishment of debt is reported within debt modification and extinguishment costs (gain), net within our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

BRCC Facility

On November 17, 2021, GP2 XCV, LLC, a subsidiary of the Company (“GP2 XCV”), entered into a borrowing facility with B. Riley Commercial Capital, LLC (which was subsequently assigned to BRF Finance Co., LLC (“BRF Finance”)) pursuant to which such subsidiary was able to borrow an original principal amount of $75.0 million, which was later increased to $115.0 million as of December 7, 2021 (as the same may be amended from time to time, the “BRCC Term Loan”). On March 31, 2022, GP2 XCV and B. Riley Commercial Capital, LLC amended this facility to permit GP2 XCV to borrow up to $51.0 million under a separate revolving loan (the “BRCC Revolver”, collectively with the BRCC Term Loan, the “BRCC Facility”).

The BRCC Facility is secured by a lien on all the assets of GP2 XCV and by a pledge of the equity of GP2 XCV. GP2 XCV is a bankruptcy-remote entity, and as such its assets are not available to other creditors of the Company or any of its subsidiaries other than GP2 XCV. Interest under the BRCC Facility accrues at a rate of 11.5% per annum (13.5% per annum default rate) and is payable quarterly on the last business day of each March, June, September and December. The purpose of BRCC Term Loan was to fund certain repurchases of the secured indebtedness and to provide funding for certain debt exchange transactions. The purpose of BRCC Revolver is to fund general corporate purposes.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we borrowed $9.6 million of principal amount under the BRCC Revolver. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we repaid $48.5 million and $3.7 million of outstanding principal amount under the BRCC Term Loan and the BRCC Revolver, respectively along with $1.6 million of exit fees on the BRCC Term Loan. The exit fees paid on the prepayment of the BRCC Term Loan were treated as a debt extinguishment cost under ASC 470-50 and reported within debt modification and extinguishment costs (gain), net in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. The BRCC Facility matured on June 10, 2023. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had fully repaid the outstanding balance under the BRCC Term Loan. As of September 30, 2023, there were borrowings of $25.9 million outstanding under the BRCC Revolver. The outstanding principal amount under the BRCC Revolver is payable in eleven (11) monthly installments of $2.0 million commencing October 31, 2023, with the remaining outstanding principal balance of $3.9 million payable on September 30, 2024.

Senior Secured Term Loan

On July 11, 2023, Exela Intermediate LLC and Exela Finance Inc., wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company, entered into a financing agreement with certain lenders and Blue Torch Finance LLC, as administrative agent, pursuant to which the lenders extended a term loan of principal amount of $40.0 million (“Senior Secured Term Loan”). On the same date, the Company used proceeds of this term loan and cash on hand to repay its outstanding 2023 Notes and 2023 Term Loans.

The Senior Secured Term Loan shall be, at the option of the Company, either a Reference Rate Loan, or a SOFR Rate Loan. Each portion of the Senior Secured Term Loan that is a Reference Rate Loan bears interest on the principal amount outstanding from the date of the Senior Secured Term Loan until repaid, at a rate per annum equal to the Reference Rate plus the Applicable Margin. “Reference Rate” for any period means the greatest of (i) 4.00% per annum, (ii) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% per annum, (iii) the Adjusted Term SOFR (which rate shall be calculated based upon an interest period of 1 month and shall be determined on a daily basis) plus 1.00% per annum, and (iv) the rate last quoted by the Wall Street Journal as the "Prime Rate" in the United States. “Applicable Margin,” with respect to the interest rate of (a) any Reference Rate Loan is 10.39% per annum, and (b) any SOFR Rate Loan is 11.39% per annum. SOFR Rate Loans shall bear interest on the principal amount outstanding, at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted Term SOFR rate for the Interest Period in effect for the Term Loan plus Applicable Margin. “Adjusted Term SOFR” means the rate per annum equal to Term SOFR for such calculation, plus 0.26161%. “Term SOFR,” for calculation with respect to a SOFR Rate Loan, is the per annum forward-looking term rate based on secured overnight financing rate for a tenor comparable to the applicable interest period on the day that is two business days prior to the first day of such interest period. However, with respect to a Reference Rate Loan, “Term SOFR” means the per annum forward-looking term rate based on secured overnight financing rate for a tenor of three months on the day that is two business days prior to such day. If Term SOFR as so determined shall ever be less than 4.00%, then Term SOFR shall be deemed to be 4.00%.

The Company may, at any time, elect to have interest on all or a portion of the loans be charged at a rate of interest based upon Term SOFR (the “SOFR Option”) by notifying the administrative agent at least 3 business days. Such notice needs to be provided in the case of the continuation of a SOFR Rate Loan as a SOFR Rate Loan on the last day of the then current interest period. The Company shall have not more than 5 SOFR Rate Loans in effect at any given time, and only may exercise the SOFR Option for SOFR Rate Loans of at least $500,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof.

The outstanding principal amount of the Senior Secured Term Loan shall be repaid in eleven (11) equal quarterly installments of $0.5 million commencing December 31, 2023, with the remaining outstanding principal amount of $34.5 million payable at maturity along with accrued and unpaid interest. The maturity date of the Senior Secured Term Loan shall be the earlier of July 11, 2026 and the date that is 91 days prior to the earliest maturity of any of the New Notes or the 2026 Notes (after giving effect to any refinancing indebtedness).

The Company may, at any time, prepay the principal of the Senior Secured Term Loan. Each prepayment shall be accompanied by the payment of accrued interest and the applicable premium, if any. Each prepayment shall be applied against the remaining installments of principal due on the Senior Secured Term Loan in the inverse order of maturity. The applicable premium shall be payable in the form of a make-whole amount if prepayment is made within one year of the borrowing date (the “First Period”). If optional prepayment is made after the year one anniversary of the borrowing date to the date of the two-year anniversary (the “Second Period”), the applicable premium shall be an amount equal to 1% times the amount of the principal amount of the Senior Secured Term Loan being paid on such date. The applicable premium shall be zero in case of prepayment after the date of the two-year anniversary of the borrowing date. Further, during the Second Period, if the prepayment is because of an event of default or termination of contract for any reason, the applicable premium shall be 1% times the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Secured Term Loan outstanding on such date.

The Senior Secured Term Loan contains customary events of default, affirmative and negative covenants, including limitation on the Company’s and certain of its subsidiaries’ ability to create, incur or allow certain liens; enter

into sale and lease-back transactions; make any restricted payments; undergo fundamental changes, as well as certain financial covenants. The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants as of September 30, 2023.

Securitization Facility

On December 17, 2020, certain subsidiaries of the Company entered into a $145.0 million securitization facility with a five year term (the “Securitization Facility”) with certain lenders and Alter Domus (US), LLC, as administrative agent (the “Securitization Administrative Agent”). The Securitization Facility provided for an initial funding of approximately $92.0 million supported by receivables, and, subject to contribution, a further funding of approximately $53.0 million to be supported by inventory and intellectual property. On December 17, 2020, Exela Receivables 3, LLC (the “Securitization Borrower”) made the initial borrowing of approximately $92.0 million under the Securitization Facility and used a portion of the proceeds to repay $83.0 million of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of loans as of December 17, 2020 under a previous $160.0 million accounts receivable securitization facility (“A/R Facility”) and used the remaining proceeds for general corporate purposes. On April 11, 2021, the Company amended the Securitization Facility to, among other things, extend the period during which the Company could access the approximately $53.0 million in additional borrowings upon the contribution of inventory and intellectual property to support the borrowing base from April 10, 2021 to September 30, 2021.

The Securitization Borrower, Exela Receivables 3 Holdco, LLC (the “Securitization Parent SPE,” and together with the Securitization Borrower, the “SPEs”), the Company, and certain of our operating subsidiaries that agreed to sell receivables in connection with the Securitization Facillity (the “Securitization Originators”) provided customary representations and covenants under the agreements underlying the Securitization Factility. The Securitization Facility identified certain events of default upon the occurrence of which the Securitization Administrative Agent may declare the facility’s termination date to have occurred and declare the outstanding Securitization Loan and all other obligations of the Securitization Borrower to be immediately due and payable, however the Securitization Facility does not include an ongoing liquidity covenant like the A/R Facility and aligns reporting obligations with the Company’s other material indebtedness agreements.

The Securitization Borrower and Securitization Parent SPE were formed in December 2020, and are identified as variable interest entities (“VIE”) and consolidated into the Company’s financial statements following VIE consolidation model under ASC 810. The Securitization Borrower and Securitization Parent SPE are bankruptcy remote entities and as such their assets are not available to creditors of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. Each loan under the Securitization Facility bore interest on the unpaid principal amount as follows: (i) if a Base Rate Loan, at a rate per annum equal to (x) the greatest of (a) the Prime Rate in effect on such day, (b) the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect on such day plus 0.50% and (c) the Adjusted LIBOR Rate (as defined in the Securitization Loan Agreement) plus 1.00%, plus (y) 8.75%; or (ii) if a LIBOR Rate Loan, at the Adjusted LIBOR Rate plus 9.75%.

On June 17, 2022, the Company repaid in full the approximately $91.9 million principal amount of loans outstanding under the Securitization Facility,triggered a prepayment premium of $2.7 million and a required payment of approximately $0.5 million and $1.3 million in respect of accrued interest and fees, respectively. All obligations under the Securitization Facility (other than contingent indemnification obligations that expressly survive termination) terminated upon repayment. The Securitization Facility was replaced by the Amended Receivables Purchase Agreement and related agreements described below. Repayment of the Securitization Facility was treated as an extinguishment of debt under ASC 470-50. Accordingly, the Company wrote off the unamortized balance of $3.3 million of debt issuance costs related to the Securitization Facility.

On June 17, 2022, the Company entered into an amended and restated receivables purchase agreement (as amended, the “Amended Receivables Purchase Agreement”) under the Securitization Facility among certain of the Company’s subsidiaries, the SPEs and certain global financial institutions (“Purchasers”). The Amended Receivables Purchase Agreement extends the term of the Securitization Facility such that the SPEs may sell certain receivables to the Purchasers until June 17, 2025. Under the Amended Receivables Purchase Agreement, transfers of accounts receivable from the SPEs are treated as sales and are accounted for as a reduction in accounts receivable, because the agreement transfers effective control over and risk related to the accounts receivable to the Purchasers. The Company and related subsidiaries have no continuing involvement in the transferred accounts receivable, other than collection and

administrative responsibilities and, once sold, the accounts receivable are no longer available to satisfy creditors of the Company, the Securitization Originators, or any other relevant subsidiaries.

On June 17, 2022, the Company sold $85.0 million of its accounts receivable and used the whole proceeds from this sale to repay part of the $91.9 million borrowings under the Securitization Facility (as discussed above). These sales were transacted at 100% of the face value of the relevant accounts receivable, resulting in derecognition of the accounts receivable from the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Company de-recognized $408.9 million of accounts receivable under this agreement during the year ended December 31, 2022. The amount remitted to the Purchasers during fiscal year 2022 was $308.7 million. The Company de-recognized $119.3 million and $382.2 million of accounts receivable under this agreement during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. The amount remitted to the Purchasers during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $119.0 million and $385.5 million, respectively. Unsold accounts receivable of $47.1 million and $46.5 million were pledged by the SPEs as collateral to the Purchasers as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. These pledged accounts receivables are included in accounts receivable, net in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The program resulted in a pre-tax loss of $2.0 million and $5.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively.

The fair value of the sold accounts receivable approximated their book value due to their short-term nature. Sold accounts receivable are presented as a change in receivables within operating activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

Second Lien Note

On February 27, 2023, the SPEs and B. Riley Commercial Capital, LLC entered into a new Secured Promissory Note (which was subsequently assigned to BRF Finance) pursuant to which B. Riley Commercial Capital, LLC agreed to lend up to $35.0 million secured by a second lien pledge of the Securitization Borrower (the “Second Lien Note”). The Second Lien Note is scheduled to mature on June 17, 2025 and bears interest at a per annum rate of one-month Term SOFR plus 7.5%. The SPEs are party to the Amended Receivables Purchase Agreement, thus the transactions necessitated amendments to that agreement and related documents to permit the addition of subordinated debt and additional borrowing capacity into that transaction structure, in addition to providing for a $5.0 million fee to the lenders for facilitating the transaction. In connection with the above-described facility, we also amended the BRCC Term Loan and BRCC Revolver to provide for $9.6 million of borrowing capacity, which was drawn as described above.

As of September 30, 2023, there were borrowings of $31.5 million outstanding under the Second Lien Note payable at maturity.
