SEACOR Offshore OSV. In connection with the Merger, completed on December 31, 2021, the Company and SEACOR Offshore OSV assumed and guaranteed approximately $18.1 million of OSV Partners I’s third-party indebtedness outstanding under the OSV Credit Facility which requires quarterly principal payments of $0.5 million. Interest accrues under the OSV Credit Facility at a rate of Term SOFR (as defined in the Credit Facility) plus 4.68% plus Mandatory Costs (as defined in the OSV Credit Facility), if applicable. The OSV Credit Facility matures on December 31, 2023 and may be accelerated upon the occurrence of an event of default.

Tarahumara Shipyard Financing. On July 9, 2021, SEACOR Marine LLC (“SMLLC”), an indirect subsidiary of SEACOR Marine, took delivery of the vessel named SEACOR Tarahumara, a 2021 new-build 221’ PSV. Effective upon such delivery and as partial consideration for the acquisition of the vessel, SMLLC entered into a loan agreement with Master Boat Builders, Inc. with respect to a term loan in the amount $6.5 million. This term loan matures in 2025 with interest-only payments for the first year, with the loan fully amortizing on a straight-line basis over the remaining term. The term loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 6% and is secured by a first lien mortgage on the vessel. SMLLC is the sole borrower under the loan agreement (the “Tarahumara Shipyard Financing”).

Falcon Global. On June 10, 2021, SEACOR Marine, Falcon Global USA LLC, an indirect subsidiary of SEACOR Marine (“FGUSA”), and certain subsidiaries of FGUSA, entered into a Second Amendment and Conditional Payoff Agreement (the “Conditional Payoff Agreement”) in respect of that certain (i) term and revolving loan facility, dated as of February 8, 2018, administered by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (as amended, the “FGUSA Credit Facility”) and (ii) obligation guaranty issued by SEACOR Marine, dated February 8, 2018, pursuant to which SEACOR Marine provided a guarantee of certain limited obligations of FGUSA under the FGUSA Credit Facility (as amended, the “FGUSA Obligation Guaranty”).

Under the terms of the Conditional Payoff Agreement, the $117.3 million of principal outstanding under the FGUSA Credit Facility was deemed satisfied in full following the payment to the lenders of a total of $50.0 million comprised of (i) $25.0 million paid by the Company at the signing of the Conditional Payoff Agreement, (ii) $22.5 million of hull and machinery insurance proceeds received by the lenders on June 18, 2021 in respect of the SEACOR Power and (iii) $2.5 million paid by the Company on June 24, 2021 (the $2.5 million was subsequently reimbursed to the Company on June 29, 2021 from hull and machinery insurance proceeds). All payments required for the extinguishment of the debt pursuant to the Conditional Payoff Agreement were made during the second quarter of 2021. Following the final payment on June 24, 2021, the FGUSA Credit Facility terminated, and the mortgages and security arrangements were released with respect to the nine liftboats securing the obligations under the FGUSA Credit Facility.

On June 24, 2021, the Company recognized a gain on transactions under the Conditional Payoff Agreement of approximately $62.0 million, calculated as follows:

SEACOR Alpine. In 2019, the Company committed to take possession of three Rolls Royce UT1771 CDL designed diesel electric powered PSVs of 3,800 tons delivered deadweight capacity with dynamic position class 2 and firefighting class 1 notations. As part of this transaction, the shipbuilder, COSCO Shipping Heavy Industry (Zhoushan) Co. Ltd., agreed to finance 70% of the cost of each of these vessels pursuant to a deferred payment agreement. The deferred payment agreement calls for increasing quarterly payments of principal and interest payments that bear interest at an annual rate of 5% over a four-year term from delivery. The Company took delivery of the SEACOR Alps, the SEACOR Andes and the SEACOR Atlas on September 30, 2019, April 20, 2020 and August 10, 2020, respectively.

 

Windcat Workboats. On March 3, 2020, Windcat Workboats, together with certain other obligors that are its subsidiaries entered into an agreement (the “RCF Amendment”) with Coöperatieve Rabobank U.A. to amend the €25 million revolving credit facility agreement, originally dated as of May 24, 2016, as amended and restated from time to time. Amended provisions included, among other things, the extension of the maturity date from December 31, 2021 to December 31, 2022. Applicable fees in the amount

of €0.1 million were paid in conjunction with the RCF Amendment and will be amortized over the credit facility term. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company borrowed an additional €1.0 million under the Windcat Workboats credit facilities, resulting in a net increase in USD borrowings of $1.1 million. On December 18, 2020, the Company announced the sale of Windcat Workboats, which was completed on January 12, 2021. Upon completion of the sale, the Windcat Buyer assumed all financial obligations related to Windcat Workboats. The long-term debt obligations as of December 31, 2020 were classified as liabilities associated with assets held for sale.

SEACOR Offshore Delta (f/k/a SEACOSCO). On June 30, 2020, the Company completed the acquisition of the SEACOSCO Interests that it did not already own. The deferred portion of the SEACOSCO Purchase Price is payable in annual installment payments of $1.0 million, $2.5 million and $2.5 million in the first, second and third year after the SEACOSCO SPA Signing Date, respectively, with the remaining $13.7 million due four years after such date. The deferred portion of the SEACOSCO Purchase Price accrues interest at a fixed rate of 1.5%, 7.0%, 7.5% and 8.0% for the first through fourth years after the signing date, respectively. The Guangdong DPAs comprising the SEACOR Delta Shipyard Financing provide for amortization of the purchase price for each vessel over a period of 10 years from delivery with the unpaid amount bearing floating interest rate of three-month LIBOR plus 4.0% (see “Note 3. Business Acquisitions”).

SEACOR Marine Foreign Holdings. On September 26, 2018, SEACOR Marine Foreign Holdings Inc. (“SMFH”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a $130.0 million loan facility with a syndicate of lenders administered by DNB Bank ASA (as amended from time to time, the “SMFH Loan Facility”). Subject to Amendment No. 1, Amendment No. 2, Amendment No. 3 and the Letter Agreement described below, SMFH’s obligations pursuant to the SMFH Loan Facility were initially secured by mortgages on 20 vessels owned by the Company’s vessel owning subsidiaries as well as an assignment of earnings from those subsidiaries. The loan matures in 2023 and bears interest at a variable rate based on LIBOR (currently 3.9%). The obligations of SMFH under the SMFH Loan Facility are guaranteed by SEACOR Marine (the “SMFH Loan Facility Guaranty”). The proceeds from the SMFH Loan Facility were used to pay off all obligations under other credit facilities of subsidiaries of the Company (Falcon Global International Term Loan Facility, Sea-Cat Crewzer II Term Loan Facility, Sea-Cat Crewzer Term Loan Facility and C-Lift Acquisition Notes totaling $101.3 million, consisting of $99.9 million principal and $1.4 million accrued interest), resulting in a net increase in term debt of $30.1 million. Principal payments of $3.3 million per quarter under the SMFH Loan Facility began in December 2018. As a result of this transaction, the Company recognized a loss of $0.6 million upon the extinguishment of debt. In October 2018, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement on the notional value at inception of $65.0 million related to this debt (see “Note 10. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Strategies”). The SMFH Loan Facility provides for customary events of default and has customary affirmative and negative covenants for transactions of this type that are applicable to SEACOR Marine, SMFH and its subsidiaries.

On August 6, 2019, SEACOR Marine, SMFH, and certain vessel-owning subsidiaries of SEACOR Marine, entered into Amendment No. 1 to the SMFH Loan Facility and SMFH Loan Facility Guaranty (the “Amendment No. 1”), which provided for, among other things, (i) the release of one vessel from a mortgage securing the SMFH Loan Facility and the substitution of mortgages over two other vessels owned by vessel-owning subsidiaries of SEACOR Marine, and (ii) the modification of certain financial maintenance and restrictive covenants contained in the SMFH Loan Facility or the SMFH Loan Facility Guaranty, including with respect to asset maintenance, vessel collateral releases, EBTIDA coverage ratios and the payment of dividends and distributions. On November 26, 2019, SEACOR Marine, SMFH, and certain vessel-owning subsidiaries of SEACOR Marine, entered into Amendment No. 2 to the SMFH Loan Facility, as amended (the “Amendment No. 2”), which provided for, among other things, (i) the release of six vessels from mortgages securing the SMFH Loan Facility and the substitution of mortgages over three other vessels owned by vessel-owning subsidiaries of SEACOR Marine and (ii) the bareboat registration in Nigeria of a vessel subject to a mortgage securing the SMFH Loan Facility.

On June 29, 2020, SEACOR Marine, SMFH, and certain vessel-owning subsidiaries of SEACOR Marine, entered into Amendment No. 3 to the SMFH Loan Facility, as amended (the “Amendment No. 3”), which provides for, among other things, (i) the modification of certain financial maintenance and restrictive covenants contained in the SMFH Loan Facility or the guaranty provided by SEACOR Marine with respect thereto, including with respect to EBITDA coverage ratios, mandatory prepayment events, and the exclusion of certain indebtedness associated with the acquisition of the SEACOSCO Interests, and (ii) the placement of mortgages on two additional vessels owned by vessel-owning subsidiaries of SEACOR Marine as security for the indebtedness under the SMFH Loan Facility.

On December 18, 2020, SEACOR Marine, SMFH and DNB Bank ASA, New York Branch, as facility agent on behalf of the lenders under the SMFH Loan Facility, and SMFH Loan Facility Guaranty, entered into a letter agreement (the “Letter Agreement”) pursuant to which an estimated $31.2 million tax refund receivable from the IRS under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) which was to be treated as cash or cash equivalents, for the period up to and including January 31, 2021, for purposes of calculating the Company’s cash or cash equivalent balances required under the SMFH Loan Facility Guaranty.

Convertible Senior Notes. On December 1, 2015, the Company issued $175.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its Convertible Senior Notes (the “Convertible Senior Notes”), at an interest rate of 3.75%, initially due December 1, 2022, (subsequently amended to December 2, 2023 as described below) to investment funds managed and controlled by the Carlyle Group (collectively “Carlyle”). The Convertible Senior Notes are convertible into shares of Common Stock at a conversion rate of 23.26 shares per $1,000 in principal amount of such notes, subject to certain conditions, or, into warrants to purchase an equal number of shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share in order to facilitate the Company’s compliance with the provisions of the Jones Act. The indenture governing the Convertible Senior Notes contains customary events of default with respect to the Convertible Senior Notes.

The Company bifurcated the embedded conversion option liability of $27.3 million from the Convertible Senior Notes and recorded an additional debt discount (see “Note 10. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Strategies” and “Note 11. Fair Value Measurements”). The adjusted unamortized debt discount and issue costs are being amortized as additional non-cash interest expense over the remaining maturity of the debt for an overall effective interest rate of 7.95% and the changes in the fair value of the bifurcated derivative are recorded as derivative income or loss.

On May 2, 2018, the Company and Carlyle entered into an exchange transaction (the “Exchange”) pursuant to which Carlyle exchanged $50 million in principal amount of the Convertible Senior Notes for Warrants to purchase 1,886,792 shares of Common Stock (to facilitate compliance with the provisions of the Jones Act) at an exercise price of $0.01 per share, subject to adjustments (the “Carlyle Warrants”), representing an implied exchange rate of approximately 37.73 shares per $1,000 in principal amount of the Convertible Senior Notes (equivalent to an exchange price of $26.50 per share). The Carlyle Warrants have a 25-year term, which commenced May 2, 2018. The Company and Carlyle also amended the $125.0 million in principal amount of Convertible Senior Notes that remained outstanding following the Exchange to (i) increase the interest rate from 3.75% per annum to 4.25% per annum and (ii) extend the maturity date of the Convertible Senior Notes by 12 months to December 1, 2023. Interest on the Convertible Senior Notes is payable semi-annually on June 15 and December 15 of each year.

Sea-Cat Crewzer III Term Loan Facility. On April 21, 2016, Sea-Cat Crewzer III LLC (“Sea-Cat Crewzer III”) entered into a €27.6 million term loan facility (payable in U.S. dollars) secured by the vessel owned by Sea-Cat Crewzer III and fully guaranteed by SEACOR Marine (the “Sea-Cat Crewzer III Loan Facility”). Borrowings under the facility bear interest at a Commercial Interest Reference Rate, currently 2.76%. During the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, Sea-Cat Crewzer III drew $7.1 million and $22.8 million, respectively, under the facility and incurred issue costs of $2.7 million in 2016 related to this facility. During the years ended December 31, 2018 Sea-Cat Crewzer III made scheduled payments of $3.1 million, related to this facility. On December 26, 2019, Sea-Cat Crewzer III, SEACOR Marine, Banco Santander S.A. (as mandated lead arranger and agent), and Santander Bank, N.A. (as lender) entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Sea-Cat Crewzer III Loan Facility, which provided for, among other things, an increase to the maximum debt to capitalization ratio required to be maintained thereunder. On December 24, 2020, Sea-Cat Crewzer III, SEACOR Marine, Banco Santander S.A. (as mandated lead arranger and agent), and Santander Bank, N.A. (as lender) entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Sea-Cat Crewzer III Loan Facility, which provided for, among other things, a waiver of the covenant breaches related to maximum debt to capitalization ratio and the exclusion of certain obligations of the guarantor from the guarantor’s net financial debt for purposes of calculating the guarantor’s permitted net financial debt to equity. The original loan agreement did not expressly exclude certain obligation of the guarantor, including but not limited to non-recourse obligations. This amendment allows Sea-Cat Crewzer III to be in compliance with its debt agreements.

SEACOR 88/888. On July 5, 2018, a wholly owned subsidiary of SEACOR Marine entered into a new term loan of $11.0 million and used the funds to acquire two vessels, the SEACOR 88 and SEACOR 888, that were previously managed (but not owned) by the Company. The term loan matures in 2023, bears interest at a variable rate (currently 3.75%) and is secured by the two vessels. SEACOR Marine provided a limited guaranty of such loan under which claims recoverable from SEACOR Marine shall not exceed the lesser of (x) $5.5 million and (y) 50% of the obligations outstanding at the time a claim is made thereunder. In October 2018, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement on the notional value at inception of $5.5 million related to this loan (see “Note 10. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Strategies”). 

Letters of Credit. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had outstanding letters of credit totaling $1.2 million securing lease obligations, labor and performance guarantees.
