As discussed previously, on June 25, 2018, Ferrellgas and Mr. Ballengee entered into an Omnibus Agreement (the “Omnibus Agreement”) that, among other things, included an executed unsecured promissory note in favor of the operating partnership with an original principal amount of $18.3 million (the “Revised Jamex Promissory Note”). On July 1, 2020, Mr. Ballengee defaulted on the Revised Jamex Promissory Note by failing to make the first payment in the amount of $2.5 million. As a result, as of July 31, 2020, Ferrellgas recorded a bad debt reserve against $17.3 million of the Revised Jamex Promissory Note and is pursuing collections from Mr. Ballengee. As of July 31, 2020, $12.5 million was classified as current notes receivable, all of which is reserved. On January 27, 2021 we reached an agreement with Mr. Ballengee pursuant to which he would execute an additional promissory note for $2.5 million secured by his assets, separate from the Revised Jamex Promissory Note, and pay $1.5 million in cash to us. The $1.5 million cash payment was received on February 1, 2021. In light of these developments, we released $0.5 million of reserve in our second fiscal quarter of 2021. We deemed it appropriate to keep the $2.5 million additional promissory note fully reserved.
