On September 2, 2021, we entered into a restatement agreement as part of a Fourth Amended and Restated $400.0 million Revolving Credit Facility and a €220.0 million Term Loan (collectively, the “Credit Agreement”).

On May 9, 2022, we entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement, which was further amended on March 30, 2023. The March 30, 2023 amendment to the Credit Agreement reduced the Revolving Credit Facility to $250.0 million and had us fully extinguish the €220.0 million Term Loan. All remaining principal outstanding and accrued interest under the Revolving Credit Facility will be due and payable on September 2, 2026.

The Credit Agreement contains a number of customary covenants for financings of this type that, among other things, restrict our ability to dispose of or create liens on assets, incur additional indebtedness, limits certain intercompany financing arrangements, make acquisitions and engage in mergers or consolidations. The Credit Agreement also contains covenants requiring a minimum debt coverage ratio. As of June 30, 2024, the leverage ratio, as calculated in accordance with the definition in our Credit Agreement, was 3.5x. A breach of these requirements would give rise to certain remedies under the Revolving Credit Facility, among which is the termination of the agreement.

On March 30, 2023, we entered into a €250.0 million Term Loan with certain affiliates of Angelo, Gordon & Co., L.P. (“AG Loan”). The net proceeds from the AG Loan were used to extinguish the €220.0 million Term Loan, to repay a portion of outstanding revolving borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, for working capital and general corporate purposes and to pay estimated fees and expenses. The AG Loan will mature on March 23, 2029 and is prepayable, in whole or in part, at any time at the prepayable premium specified in the Term Loan Agreement. Prior to September 30, 2024, we may prepay some or all of the AG Loan at a "make-whole" premium as specified.

On October 25, 2021, we issued $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.750% senior notes due 2029 (the “Notes”). The net proceeds from the offering of the Notes, together with cash on hand, were used to pay the purchase price of the Jacob Holm acquisition, to repay certain indebtedness of Jacob Holm, to repay outstanding revolving borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, and to pay estimated fees and expenses. The Notes will mature on November 15, 2029. The Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part, at any time at the redemption prices specified in the Indenture. Prior to November 15, 2024, we may redeem some or all of the Notes at a "make-whole" premium as specified in the Indenture.

Glatfelter Gernsbach GmbH (“Gernsbach”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours, entered into a series of borrowing agreements with IKB Deutsche Industriebank AG, Düsseldorf (“IKB”). Each of the borrowings require quarterly repayments of principal and interest and provide for representations, warranties and covenants customary for financings of these types. The financial covenants of these borrowings are calculated by reference to the Credit Agreement. These borrowings were fully extinguished on March 14, 2023.

In 2021, Gernsbach also entered into two fixed-rate non-amortizing term loans with certain financial institutions. On February 28, 2023, one of these term loans for €20.0 million was fully extinguished. The remaining term loan matured in March 2024.

Aggregated unamortized deferred debt issuance costs incurred in connection with all of our outstanding debt totaled $15.5 million at June 30, 2024. The deferred costs are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the underlying instruments. Amortization expense related to deferred debt issuance costs totaled $1.7 million and $3.1 million in 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The following schedule sets forth the amortization of our term loan agreements together with the maturity of our other long-term debt during the indicated year.

Glatfelter Corporation guarantees all debt obligations of its subsidiaries. All such obligations are recorded in these consolidated financial statements.

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had $3.7 million and $5.7 million, respectively, of letters of credit issued to us by certain financial institutions. The letters of credit, which reduce amounts available under our Revolving Credit Facility, provide financial assurances for the performance of long-term monitoring activities associated with the Fox River environmental matter and for the benefit of certain state workers compensation insurance agencies in conjunction with our self-insurance program. We bear the credit risk on this amount to the extent that we do not comply with the provisions of certain agreements. No amounts are outstanding under the letters of credit.
