12.0% Notes due 2025

General. On July 1, 2020, we issued $250.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 12.0% senior secured notes due 2025 (the "2025 Notes"). The 2025 Notes were issued at a discount and we received proceeds of $243.8 million, prior to payment of certain financing fees and related expenses.
Interest Rate. The 2025 Notes bear interest semi-annually in arrears on January 1 and July 1 of each year, beginning on January 1, 2021, at a rate of (i) 10.00% per annum in cash and (ii) 2.00% per annum in the form of additional notes or in cash, at our option.
Maturity. The 2025 Notes mature on July 1, 2025.
Seniority. The 2025 Notes are senior secured obligations of Century, ranking equally in right of payment with all existing and future senior indebtedness of Century, but effectively senior to unsecured debt to the extent of the value of the collateral.
Guaranty. Our obligations under the 2025 Notes are guaranteed by all of our existing and future domestic restricted subsidiaries (the “Guarantor Subsidiaries”), except for foreign owned holding companies, any domestic restricted subsidiary that owns no assets other than equity interests or other investments in foreign subsidiaries and certain immaterial subsidiaries, which guaranty shall in each case be a senior secured obligation of such Guarantor Subsidiaries, ranking equally in right of payment with all existing and future senior indebtedness of such Guarantor Subsidiaries but effectively senior to unsecured debt to the extent of the value of collateral.
Collateral. Our obligations under the 2025 Notes and the Guarantor Subsidiaries' obligations under the guarantees are secured by a pledge of and lien on (subject to certain exceptions):
(i) all of our and the Guarantor Subsidiaries' property, plant and equipment (other than certain excluded property);
(ii) all equity interests in subsidiaries directly owned by Century or any Guarantor Subsidiaries; and
(iii) proceeds of the foregoing.

Under certain circumstances, the indenture and the security documents governing the 2025 Notes will permit us and the guarantors to incur additional debt that also may be secured by liens on the collateral that are equal to or have priority over the liens securing the 2025 Notes. The collateral agent for the 2025 Notes will agree with the collateral agent for the other debt holders and us under such circumstances to enter into an intercreditor agreement that will cause the liens securing the 2025 Notes to be contractually subordinated to the liens securing such additional debt.
Redemption Rights. Prior to July 1, 2021, we may redeem the 2025 Notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus a make-whole premium and accrued and unpaid interest, and if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on July 1 of the years indicated below, at the following redemption prices plus accrued and unpaid interest:
YearPercentage
2021105.0%
2022102.5%
2023101.25%
2024100.0%

Upon a change of control (as defined in the indenture governing the 2025 Notes), we will be required to make an offer to purchase the 2025 Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the outstanding principal amount of the 2025 Notes on the date of the purchase, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase.
Covenants. The indenture governing the 2025 Notes contains customary covenants which may limit our ability, and the ability of certain of our subsidiaries, to: (i) incur additional debt; (ii) incur additional liens; (iii) pay dividends or make distributions in respect of capital stock; (iv) purchase or redeem capital stock; (v) make investments or certain other restricted payments; (vi) sell assets; (vii) issue or sell stock of certain subsidiaries; (viii) enter into transactions with shareholders or affiliates; and (ix) effect a consolidation or merger.
7.5% Notes Tender Offer and Redemption
In June 2020, we commenced a tender offer to the holders of the outstanding 7.5% senior secured notes due June 2021 (the "2021 Notes") and notified all such holders of our election to redeem all 2021 Notes not purchased in the tender offer on July 31, 2020. We received tenders for approximately $243.7 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2021 Notes and the remaining 2021 Notes were redeemed on July 31, 2020 at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest. As a result, the Company’s and the guarantors’ obligations under the indenture governing the 2021 Notes have been fully discharged. We applied the net proceeds from the offering of the 2025 Notes described above, together with cash on hand, toward payment of the total consideration amount to holders whose 2021 Notes were accepted and purchased in the tender offer and to fund the redemption of any remaining 2021 Notes.
Based on the characteristics of the 2021 Notes and the 2025 Notes that were issued, the tender and redemption of the 2021 Notes are accounted for as an extinguishment of the debt. Accordingly, we have recorded a $1.2 million loss on early extinguishment of debt, consisting of the write-off of deferred financing costs and the debt discount associated with the 2021 Notes, as well as the tender fees paid as part of the tender offer.
Hawesville Term Loan
On April 29, 2019, we entered into a loan agreement with Glencore Ltd. pursuant to which the Company borrowed $40.0 million. Borrowings under the Hawesville Term Loan were used to partially finance the second phase of the Hawesville restart project. The Hawesville Term Loan matures on December 31, 2021 and is to be repaid in twenty-four (24) equal monthly
installments of principal, beginning on January 31, 2020.  The Hawesville Term Loan bears interest, due monthly, at a floating rate equal to LIBOR plus 5.375% per annum. The Hawesville Term Loan is not secured by any collateral. 
U.S. Revolving Credit Facility
We and certain of our direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries ("the Borrowers") have a senior secured revolving credit facility with a syndicate of lenders (as amended from time to time, the "U.S. revolving credit facility"). The U.S. revolving credit facility provides for borrowings of up to $175.0 million in the aggregate, including up to $110.0 million under a letter of credit sub-facility, and also includes an uncommitted accordion feature whereby borrowers may increase the capacity of the U.S. revolving credit facility by up to $50.0 million, subject to agreement with the lenders. The U.S. revolving credit facility matures on May 16, 2023.
Any letters of credit issued and outstanding under the U.S. revolving credit facility reduce our borrowing availability on a dollar-for-dollar basis. At September 30, 2020, there were $5.0 million in outstanding borrowings under our U.S. revolving credit facility. Principal payments, if any, are due upon maturity of the U.S. revolving credit facility and may be prepaid without penalty.
