(a)The Company, through an affiliate, entered into the pre-delivery payment (“PDP”) facility with Citibank, N.A. in December 2014 (“PDP Financing Facility”). The PDP Financing Facility is collateralized by the Company’s purchase agreement for Airbus A320neo and A321neo aircraft deliveries through the term of the facility (see Note 10). In December 2020, the PDP Financing Facility was amended and restated to reduce the commitment of Citibank, N.A., as initial lender, to $150 million, remove the ability to draw further unsecured borrowings and to provide collateral for the borrowings not secured by aircraft outstanding as of that date. In May 2021, the Company amended the facility to increase the total available capacity to $200 million and expanded the number of financial institution participants as lenders. In December 2021, the facility was amended and restated to extend the availability of the facility through December 2024 to include additional 2023 and 2024 aircraft deliveries, and in March 2022 the facility was further amended to re-align the PDP Financing Facility with the updated future aircraft deliveries. In June 2022, the facility was amended and restated to extend the availability of the facility through December 2025 to include additional 2025 aircraft deliveries, to increase the total available capacity to $280 million, and to include the flexibility to potentially obtain additional commitments from other lenders. No commitments have been secured from other lenders as of June 30, 2022.
Interest is paid every 90 days based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus a margin for each individual tranche. The PDP Financing Facility consists of separate loans for each PDP aircraft. Each separate loan matures upon the earlier of (i) delivery of that aircraft to the Company by Airbus, (ii) the date one month following the last day of the scheduled delivery month of such aircraft and (iii) if there is a delay in delivery of aircraft, depending on the cause of the delivery delay, up to six months following the last day of the scheduled delivery month of such aircraft. The PDP Financing Facility will be repaid periodically according to the preceding sentence with the last scheduled delivery of aircraft contemplated in the PDP Financing Facility, as currently in effect, expected to be in the fourth quarter of 2025.
(b)On September 28, 2020, the Company entered into the Treasury Loan with the Treasury for a term loan facility of up to $574 million, and had borrowed $150 million under the loan as of December 31, 2021. On February 2, 2022, the Company repaid the Treasury Loan in full, along with accrued interest and associated fees of $1 million. Additionally, the Company recognized a $7 million loss on the extinguishment of debt for the six months ended June 30, 2022 from the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs associated with the Treasury Loan. The repayment terminated the loan agreement with the Treasury and substantially unencumbered the Company’s co-branded credit card program and related brand assets that secured the Treasury Loan.
(c)Represents a note with a commercial bank related to the Company’s headquarters building. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company will repay the outstanding principal balance in quarterly payments beginning in January 2022 until the maturity date in December 2023. On the maturity date, one final balloon payment will be made to cover all unpaid principal, accrued unpaid interest and other amounts due. The interest rate of one-month LIBOR plus a margin is payable monthly.
(d)On April 30, 2020, the Company executed a promissory note under the PSP agreement with the Treasury from which the Company received a $33 million unsecured 10-year, low-interest loan (the “PSP Promissory Note”). Subsequently, the Company entered into the PSP2 with the Treasury in January 2021 and the PSP3 with the Treasury in April 2021, from which the Company received an additional $18 million and $15 million of proceeds, respectively, evidenced by promissory notes with the same terms as the original PSP Promissory Note. The PSP Promissory Notes include an annual interest rate of 1.00% for the first five years and the SOFR plus 2.00% in the final five years. The loans can be prepaid at par at any time without incurring a penalty.
(e)The Company entered into an agreement with Barclays in 2003 to provide for joint marketing, grant certain benefits to co-branded credit card holders (“Cardholders”), and allow Barclays to market using the Company’s customer database. Cardholders earn mileage credits under the Frontier Miles program and the Company sells mileage credits at agreed-upon rates to Barclays and earns fees from Barclays for the acquisition, retention and use of the co-branded credit card by consumers. In addition, Barclays will pre-purchase miles if the Company meets certain conditions precedent. On September 15, 2020 the Company entered into a new agreement with Barclays to amend and extend
the agreement to 2029. The pre-purchased miles facility amount is to be reset on January 15 of each calendar year through, and including, January 15, 2028 based on the aggregate amount of fees payable by Barclays to the Company on a calendar year basis, up to an aggregate maximum facility amount of $200 million. Per the terms of the Treasury Loan, the facility amount could not be extended above $15 million until full extinguishment of the Treasury Loan, which occurred in February 2022, and, as a result, the Company borrowed an additional $56 million in the first quarter of 2022. The Company pays interest on a monthly basis, which is based on a one-month LIBOR plus a margin. Beginning March 31, 2028, the facility is scheduled to be repaid in 12 equal monthly installments.
