Interest on the 8.25% Notes maturing in February 2027 is payable semi-annually in arrears as of February 28 and August 31 based on a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. The 8.25% Notes mature on February 28, 2027. The 8.25% Notes were issued in connection with a troubled debt restructuring, therefore, all future interest payment obligations on the 8.25% Notes are included in the carrying value of the 8.25% Notes. As a result, interest payments are reported as a reduction in the carrying value of the 8.25% Notes and not as interest expense. As of December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, $6.1 million of interest is recorded as current and classified as Current Debt in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

The 8.25% Notes rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company’s existing and future unsubordinated indebtedness other than its Issuer Senior Debt and its Limited Secured Acquisition Debt (each as defined below). The 8.25% Notes rank senior in right of payment to all of the Company’s existing and future subordinated indebtedness and to certain limited secured acquisition indebtedness of the Company (the “Limited Secured Acquisition Debt”). The Limited Secured Acquisition Debt includes (i) any indebtedness, the proceeds of which are used to finance all or a portion of an acquisition or similar transaction if any lender’s lien is solely limited to the assets acquired in such a transaction and (ii) any indebtedness, the proceeds of which are used to finance all or a portion of the American Centrifuge project or another next generation enrichment technology if any lender’s lien is solely limited to such assets, provided that a lien securing the 8.25% Notes that is junior with respect to the lien securing such indebtedness will be limited to the assets acquired with such Limited Secured Acquisition Debt.
The indenture governing the 8.25% Notes includes restrictions on the ability of Enrichment Corp. to transfer cash and other assets to the Company, which could constrain the Company’s ability to pay dividends on its Common Stock or to fund its commitments or the commitments of its other subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions, such as the transfer of inventory and other assets in the ordinary course of business of Enrichment Corp. The indenture also restricts the Company’s ability to engage in certain mergers or acquisitions and requires the Company to offer to repurchase all such outstanding notes at 101% of their outstanding principal amount in the event of certain change of control events.

The 8.25% Notes are subordinated in right of payment to certain indebtedness and obligations of the Company, as described in the indenture governing the 8.25% Notes (the “Issuer Senior Debt”), including (i) any indebtedness of the Company (inclusive of any indebtedness of Enrichment Corp.) under a future credit facility up to $50 million with a maximum net borrowing of $40 million after taking into account any minimum cash balance (unless a higher amount is approved with the consent of the holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the 8.25% Notes then outstanding), (ii) any revolving credit facility to finance inventory purchases and related working capital needs, and (iii) any indebtedness of the Company to Enrichment Corp. under the secured intercompany notes.

The 8.25% Notes are guaranteed on a subordinated and limited basis by, and secured by substantially all of the assets of, Enrichment Corp. The Enrichment Corp. guarantee is a secured obligation and ranks equally in right of payment with all existing and future unsubordinated indebtedness of Enrichment Corp. (other than Designated Senior Claims (as defined below) and Limited Secured Acquisition Debt) and senior in right of payment to all existing and future subordinated indebtedness of Enrichment Corp. and Limited Secured Acquisition Debt. The Enrichment Corp. guarantee is subordinated in right of payment to certain obligations of, and claims against, Enrichment Corp. described in the indenture governing the 8.25% Notes (collectively, the “Designated Senior Claims”), including obligations and claims:
•under a future credit facility up to $50 million with a maximum net borrowing of $40 million after taking into account any minimum cash balance;
•under any revolving credit facility to finance inventory purchases and related working capital needs;
•held by or for the benefit of the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation pursuant to any settlement (including any required funding of pension plans); and
•under surety bonds or similar obligations held by or on behalf of the U.S. government pursuant to regulatory requirements.

The lien securing the Enrichment Corp. guarantee of the 8.25% Notes is junior in priority with respect to the lien securing Limited Secured Acquisition Debt, which is limited to the assets acquired with such Limited Secured Acquisition Debt.
