The 2023 Notes contain customary covenants for a financing of this type that, among other things, restrict CVR Partners’ ability and the ability of certain of its subsidiaries to: (i) sell assets; (ii) pay distributions on, redeem or repurchase the Nitrogen Fertilizer Partnership’s units or redeem or repurchase its subordinated debt; (iii) make investments; (iv) incur or guarantee additional indebtedness or issue preferred units; (v) create or incur certain liens; (vi) enter into agreements that restrict distributions or other payments from the CVR Partners’ restricted subsidiaries to CVR Partners; (vii) consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of the CVR Partners’ assets; (viii) engage in transactions with affiliates; and (ix) create unrestricted subsidiaries. In addition, the indenture contains customary events of default, the occurrence of which would result in or permit the trustee or the holders of at least 25% of the 2023 Notes to cause the acceleration of the 2023 Notes, in addition to the pursuit of other available remedies.

Nitrogen Fertilizer ABL - On September 29, 2020, CVR Partners entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Nitrogen Fertilizer ABL with a group of lenders and UBS AG, Stamford Branch (“UBS”), as administrative agent and collateral agent. The Nitrogen Fertilizer ABL reduced its aggregate principal amount of availability from $50 million to $35 million, and extended
the scheduled maturity to September 30, 2022. The amendment also removed from the borrowing base calculation the restricted cash and cash equivalent component and increased the advance rate for certain eligible inventory.

Interest is payable on the 2022 Notes semi-annually on May 1 and November 1 of each year, commencing on May 1, 2013.

On January 27, 2020, the Company redeemed all of the outstanding 2022 Notes and settled accrued interest of approximately $8 million through the date of redemption. The redeemed notes were repurchased for approximately $505 million, or 101.083% of par value. Previously deferred financing charges related to the 2022 Notes totaled approximately $3 million. As a result of this transaction, the Company will recognize a $8 million loss on extinguishment of debt in the first quarter of 2020, which includes the total premiums paid of $5 million and the write-off of previously deferred financing charges of $3 million.

In addition, the indenture contains customary events of default, the occurrence of which would result in or permit the trustee or the holders of at least 25% of the 2025 Notes and 2028 Notes to cause, amongst other available remedies, the acceleration of the respective notes.

Credit Agreement - On January 29, 2019, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Jefferies Finance LLC to provide a term loan credit facility with a maturity date of March 10, 2019. The borrowings under the Credit Agreement of $105 million were used to fund a portion of the CVRR Unit Purchase. All amounts were repaid on February 11, 2019. As the original maturity was less than three months from the issuance date, the borrowings and repayments under the credit agreement qualified for net reporting on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
