In January 2020, HG Global and BAM agreed to amend the BAM Surplus Notes to extend the end of the variable interest rate period from 2021 to 2024, to extend the initial 10-year term of the FLRT to the end of 2022 and to enter into an excess of loss reinsurance agreement (the “XOLT”).  Under the XOLT, HG Re provides last dollar protection for exposures on municipal bonds insured by BAM in excess of NYDFS single issuer limits.  The XOLT is subject to an aggregate limit equal to the lesser of $75 million or the assets held in the Supplemental Trust at any point in time.  At inception, BAM ceded exposure on one covered risk to HG Re under the XOLT.  Additional cessions under the XOLT are subject to approval by HG Re.
In connection with the actions described in the preceding paragraph, in January 2020, BAM made a $65.0 million special cash payment of principal and interest on the BAM Surplus Notes. Of this payment, $47.9 million was a repayment of principal held in the Supplemental Trust, $0.9 million was a payment of accrued interest held in the Supplemental Trust and $16.2 million was a payment of accrued interest held outside the Supplemental Trust. As of January 20, 2020, subsequent to the special cash payment, the BAM Surplus Notes had a principal balance of $409.7 million and accrued interest outstanding of $146.5 million.
