We may, subject to certain limitations, terminate the special servicer, with or without cause, and appoint a successor. In addition, the special servicer must receive our consent prior to certain decisions with respect to a specially serviced mortgage loan.

Convertible Senior Unsecured Notes

In August 2022, we issued $287.5 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.50% convertible senior notes (the “7.50% Convertible Notes”) through a private placement offering. The 7.50% Convertible Notes pay interest semiannually in arrears and are scheduled to mature in August 2025, unless earlier converted or repurchased by the holders pursuant to their terms. The initial conversion rate was 59.8480 shares of common stock per $1,000 of principal representing a conversion price of $16.71 per share of common stock. We received proceeds of $279.3 million, net of discounts and fees. We used $203.1 million of the net proceeds to repurchase a portion of our 4.75% convertible senior notes (the “4.75% Convertible Notes”), which included $5.2 million of accrued interest and repurchase premiums, and expensed $3.3 million of deferred financing fees into loss on extinguishment of debt on the consolidated statements of income. At December 31, 2022, the 7.50% Convertible Notes had a conversion rate of 59.8892 shares of common stock per $1,000 of principal, which represented a conversion price of $16.70 per share of common stock.

In the fourth quarter of 2022, the remaining $66.1 million principal amount of our 4.75% Convertible Notes matured and were fully settled with cash.

Our convertible senior unsecured notes are not redeemable by us prior to their maturities and are convertible by the holder into, at our election, cash, shares of our common stock or a combination of both, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions and during specified periods. The conversion rates are subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain specified events and the holders may require us to repurchase all, or any portion, of their notes for cash equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if we undergo a fundamental change specified in the agreements.

On January 1, 2022, we adopted ASU 2020-06, see Note 2 for details, which no longer allows for the allocation of proceeds between debt and equity components, eliminates the amortization of the debt discount and requires the if-converted method to calculate diluted EPS, regardless of the settlement intent.

The UPB, unamortized discount and net carrying amount of the liability and equity components of our convertible notes are as follows (in thousands):


	Liability								Equity
	Component								Component
			Unamortized Debt		Unamortized Deferred		Net Carrying		Net Carrying
Period	UPB		Discount		Financing Fees		Value		Value
December 31, 2022	$	287,500	$	—	$	7,144	$	280,356	$	—

December 31, 2021	$	264,000	$	2,520	$	2,095	$	259,385	$	8,684

During 2022, we incurred interest expense on the notes totaling $19.8 million, of which $16.9 million and $2.9 million related to the cash coupon and deferred financing fees, respectively. During 2021, we incurred interest expense on the notes totaling $18.6 million, of which $12.8 million, $3.2 million and $2.6 million related to the cash coupon, amortization of the debt discount and of the deferred financing fees, respectively. During 2020, we incurred interest expense on the notes totaling $20.0 million, of which $13.4 million, $3.6 million and $3.0 million related to the cash coupon, amortization of the debt discount and of the deferred financing fees, respectively. Including the amortization of the deferred financing fees and debt discount, our weighted average total cost of the notes was 8.42% and 6.71% at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, or 5.73% at December 31, 2021, excluding the amortization of the debt discount (which ceased on January 1, 2022 with the adoption of ASU 2020-06).

Junior Subordinated Notes

The carrying values of borrowings under our junior subordinated notes were $143.1 million and $142.4 million at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, which is net of a deferred amount of $9.6 million and $10.2 million, respectively, (which is amortized into interest expense over the life of the notes) and deferred financing fees of $1.6 million and $1.7 million, respectively. These notes have maturities ranging from March 2034 through April 2037 and pay interest quarterly at a floating rate based on LIBOR. The weighted average note rate was 7.65% and 3.03% at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Including certain fees and costs, the weighted average note rate was 7.74% and 3.12% at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Debt Covenants

Credit and Repurchase Facilities and Unsecured Debt. The credit and repurchase facilities and unsecured debt (senior and convertible notes) contain various financial covenants, including, but not limited to, minimum liquidity requirements, minimum net worth requirements, minimum unencumbered asset requirements, as well as certain other debt service coverage ratios, debt to equity ratios and minimum servicing portfolio tests. We were in compliance with all financial covenants and restrictions at December 31, 2022.

CLOs. Our CLO vehicles contain interest coverage and asset overcollateralization covenants that must be met as of the waterfall distribution date in order for us to receive such payments. If we fail these covenants in any of our CLOs, all cash flows from the applicable CLO would be diverted to repay principal and interest on the outstanding CLO bonds and we would not receive any residual payments until that CLO regained compliance with such tests. Our CLOs were in compliance with all such covenants at December 31, 2022, as well as on the most recent determination dates in January 2023. In the event of a breach of the CLO covenants that could not be cured in the near-term, we would be required to fund our non-CLO expenses, including employee costs, distributions required to maintain our REIT status, debt costs, and other expenses with (1) cash on hand, (2) income from any CLO not in breach of a covenant test, (i3) income from real property and loan assets, (4) sale of assets, or (5) accessing the equity or debt capital markets, if available. We have the right to cure covenant breaches which would resume normal residual payments to us by purchasing non-performing loans out of the CLOs. However, we may not have sufficient liquidity available to do so at such time.

Our CLO compliance tests as of the most recent determination dates in January 2023 are as follows:


Cash Flow Triggers	CLO 12		CLO 13		CLO 14		CLO 15		CLO 16		CLO 17		CLO 18		CLO 19

The overcollateralization ratio divides the total principal balance of all collateral in the CLO by the total principal balance of the bonds associated with the applicable ratio. To the extent an asset is considered a defaulted security, the asset’s principal balance for purposes of the overcollateralization test is the lesser of the asset’s market value or the principal balance of the defaulted asset multiplied by the asset’s recovery rate which is determined by the rating agencies. Rating downgrades of CLO collateral will generally not have a direct impact on the principal balance of a CLO asset for purposes of calculating the CLO overcollateralization test unless the rating downgrade is below a significantly low threshold (e.g., CCC-) as defined in each CLO vehicle.

(2)	The interest coverage ratio divides interest income by interest expense for the classes senior to those retained by us.

Our CLO overcollateralization ratios as of the determination dates subsequent to each quarter are as follows:


Determination (1)	CLO 12		CLO 13		CLO 14		CLO 15		CLO 16		CLO 17		CLO 18		CLO 19

(1)	This table represents the quarterly trend of our overcollateralization ratio, however, the CLO determination dates are monthly and we were in compliance with this test for all periods presented.

The ratio will fluctuate based on the performance of the underlying assets, transfers of assets into the CLOs prior to the expiration of their respective replenishment dates, purchase or disposal of other investments, and loan payoffs. No payment due under the junior subordinated indentures may be paid if there is a default under any senior debt and the senior lender has sent notice to the trustee. The junior subordinated indentures are also cross-defaulted with each other.
