Term loans In March 2021, the Company repaid a term loan amounting to US$50.0 million and replaced it with a term loan amounting to US$50.0 million maturing in March 2022, bearing interest at a variable rate. In March 2021, the Company entered into a term loan amounting to €31.7 million to refinance assets previously financed under lease and acquired as part of the FSC acquisition. The term loan matures in 2026, bearing interest at a variable rate. R&D obligations Represents obligations with the Government of Canada and the Government of Quebec relative to R&D programs whereby the government entities provide funding through loans for a portion of eligible spending related to specified R&D projects, up to a predetermined maximum funding amount. As at March 31, 2021, the remaining undrawn amount available under these programs was $38.5 million (2020 - $86.3 million). During the year ended March 31, 2021, the Company obtained payment deferrals on certain R&D obligations as part of the government’s economic response to the COVID-19 pandemic, which resulted in a remeasurement gain included in Other (gains) and losses (Note 7). Revolving credit facilities On April 9, 2020, the Company concluded a new two-year $500.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility. The facility bears interest at variable rates, plus a margin that is determined based on the usage of the facility and the Company’s credit rating. The new facility provides access to additional liquidity and is added to the current US$850.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility.
