7.75% Senior Secured Notes Due 2025

On December 21, 2017, Par Petroleum, LLC and Par Petroleum Finance Corp. (collectively, the “Issuers”), both our wholly owned subsidiaries, completed the issuance and sale of $300 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.75% Senior Secured Notes in a private placement under Rule 144A and Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The net proceeds of $289.2 million (net of financing costs and original issue discount of 1%) from the sale were used to repay our previous credit facilities and the forward sale agreement with J. Aron and for general corporate purposes.

The 7.75% Senior Secured Notes bear interest at a rate of 7.750% per year (payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning on June 15, 2018) and will mature on December 15, 2025.

ABL Credit Facility

On December 21, 2017, in connection with the issuance of the 7.75% Senior Secured Notes, Par Petroleum, LLC, Par Hawaii, LLC (“PHL”, formerly known as Par Hawaii, Inc. and includes the assets previously owned by the dissolved entities Mid Pac Petroleum, LLC and HIE Retail, LLC), Hermes Consolidated, LLC, and Wyoming Pipeline Company (collectively, the “ABL Borrowers”), entered into a Loan and Security Agreement dated as of December 21, 2017 (the “ABL Credit Facility”) with certain lenders and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent. The ABL Credit Facility provides for a revolving credit facility that provides for revolving loans and for the issuance of letters of credit (the “ABL Revolver”). On July 24, 2018, we amended the ABL Credit Facility to increase the maximum principal amount at any time outstanding of the ABL Revolver by $10 million to $85 million, subject to a borrowing base. As of March 31, 2020, the ABL Revolver had no outstanding balance and a borrowing base of approximately $49.0 million.

5.00% Convertible Senior Notes Due 2021

As of March 31, 2020, the outstanding principal amount of the 5.00% Convertible Senior Notes was $48.7 million, the unamortized discount and deferred financing cost was $3.3 million, and the carrying amount of the liability component was $45.4 million. During May, June, and December 2019, we entered into privately negotiated exchange agreements with a limited number of holders (the “Noteholders”) to repurchase $66.3 million in aggregate principal amount of the 5.00% Convertible Senior Notes held by the Noteholders for an aggregate of $18.6 million in cash and approximately 3.2 million shares of our common stock with a fair value of $74.3 million. We recognized a loss of approximately $6.1 million related to the extinguishment of the repurchased 5.00% Convertible Senior Notes in the year ended December 31, 2019. No loss was recognized related to the extinguishment of the repurchased 5.00% Convertible Senior Notes in either the three months ended March 31, 2020 or 2019.

Term Loan B Facility

On January 11, 2019, Par Petroleum, LLC and Par Petroleum Finance Corp. entered into a new term loan facility with Goldman Sachs Bank USA, as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto from time to time (the “Term Loan B Facility”), pursuant to which the lenders made the Term Loan B to the borrowers in the principal amount of $250.0 million on the closing date. The net proceeds from Term Loan B totaled $232.0 million after deducting the original issue discount, deferred financing costs, and commitment and other fees and were used to finance the Washington Acquisition.

Loans under the Term Loan B bear interest at a rate per annum equal to Adjusted LIBOR (as defined in the Term Loan B Facility) plus an applicable margin of 6.75% or at a rate per annum equal to Alternate Base Rate (as defined in the Term Loan B Facility) plus an applicable margin of 5.75%. In addition to the quarterly interest payments, Term Loan B requires quarterly principal payments of $3.1 million. Term Loan B matures on January 11, 2026.

Par Pacific Term Loan Agreement

On January 9, 2019, we entered into a loan agreement (the “Par Pacific Term Loan Agreement”) with Bank of Hawaii (“BOH”), pursuant to which BOH made a loan to the company in the principal amount of $45.0 million, the net proceeds of which were used to finance the Washington Acquisition.

During the term of the Par Pacific Term Loan, the interest payments were due monthly and were based on the outstanding principal balance multiplied by a floating rate equal to 3.50% above the applicable LIBOR rate (as defined in the Par Pacific Term Loan Agreement) subject to an increased default interest rate in the event of a default. The Par Pacific Term Loan Agreement was originally scheduled to mature on July 9, 2019. We terminated and repaid all amounts outstanding under the Par Pacific Term Loan Agreement on March 29, 2019 using the proceeds of the Retail Property Term Loan (as defined below). We recognized approximately $0.1 million of debt extinguishment costs related to the unamortized deferred financing costs associated with the Par Pacific Term Loan Agreement in the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Retail Property Term Loan

On March 29, 2019, Par Pacific Hawaii Property Company, LLC (“Par Property LLC”), our wholly owned subsidiary, entered into a term loan agreement (the “Retail Property Term Loan”) with BOH, which provided a term loan in the principal amount of $45.0 million. The proceeds from the Retail Property Term Loan were used to repay and terminate the Par Pacific Term Loan Agreement.

The Retail Property Term Loan bears interest based on a floating rate equal to the applicable LIBOR for a one-month interest period plus 1.5%. The average effective interest rate for the three months ended March 31, 2020 on the Retail Property Term Loan was 3.2%. Principal and interest payments are payable monthly based on a 20-year amortization schedule, principal prepayments are allowed subject to applicable prepayment penalties, and the remaining unpaid principal, plus any unpaid interest or other charges, is due on April 1, 2024, the maturity date of the Retail Property Term Loan.

Cross Default Provisions

Included within each of our debt agreements are affirmative and negative covenants, and customary cross default provisions, that require the repayment of amounts outstanding on demand unless the triggering payment default or acceleration is remedied, rescinded, or waived. As of March 31, 2020, we were in compliance with all of our debt instruments.
