In conjunction with fresh start accounting, the Company estimated the fair value of its mortgage notes with the assistance of a third-party valuation advisor. This resulted in recognizing a debt discount on the Effective Date. The debt discount is accreted over the term of the respective debt using the effective interest method. The remaining debt discounts at September 30, 2022 will be accreted over a weighted average period of 3.0 years.

Non-recourse loans on operating properties, the open-air centers and outparcels loan and the secured term loan include loans that are secured by properties owned by the Company that have a carrying value of $915,905 at September 30, 2022.

In February 2022, the loan secured by Fayette Mall was modified to reduce the fixed interest rate to 4.25% and extend the maturity date through May 2023, with three one-year extension options, subject to certain requirements. As part of the modification, two ground leased outparcels were released from the collateral in exchange for the addition of the redeveloped former middle anchor location. As of September 30, 2022, the loan secured by Fayette Mall had a balance of $129,580.

In March 2022, the Company deconsolidated Greenbrier Mall as a result of the Company losing control when the property was placed in receivership. As of September 30, 2022, the loan secured by Greenbrier Mall had a balance of $61,647. See Note 8 for additional information.

In May 2022, the loan secured by Arbor Place was extended for an additional four years, with a new maturity date of May 2026. The interest rate will remain at the current fixed rate of 5.10%. As of September 30, 2022, the loan secured by Arbor Place had a balance of $99,042.

In May 2022, the Company entered into a new $65,000 non-recourse loan. The loan has a ten-year term with a fixed interest rate of 5.85%. It is interest only for the first three years. The loan is secured by open-air centers, which include Hamilton Crossing, Hamilton Corner, The Terrace and The Shoppes at Hamilton Place. Proceeds from the loan were used to redeem $60,000 aggregate principal amount of the Secured Notes. Also, the previous $7,058 Hamilton Crossing loan was paid off in conjunction with the closing of the new loan.

In June 2022, the Company entered into a new $360,000 loan. The interest rate is a fixed 6.95% for $180,000 of the $360,000 loan, with the other half of the loan bearing a variable interest rate based on the 30-day SOFR plus 4.10%. The loan has an initial term of five years with one two-year extension, subject to certain conditions. The loan is secured by a pool of 90 outparcels and 13 open-air centers. The open-air centers include Alamance Crossing West, CoolSprings Crossing, Courtyard at Hickory Hollow, Frontier Square, Gunbarrel Pointe, Harford Annex, The Plaza at Fayette, Sunrise Commons, The Shoppes at St. Clair Square, The Landing at Arbor Place, West Towne Crossing, West Towne District and WestGate Crossing. Proceeds from the loan were used to complete the redemption of all $335,000 outstanding on the Secured Notes, which eliminated the recourse guaranty. Also, proceeds were used to paydown $8,322 on the Brookfield Square Anchor Redevelopment loan, which had an outstanding balance of $18,465 as of September 30, 2022.

Several of the Company’s properties are owned by special purpose entities, created as a requirement under certain loan agreements that are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. The sole business purpose of the special purpose entities is to own and operate these properties. The real estate and other assets owned by these special purpose entities are restricted under the loan agreements in that they are not available to settle other debts of the Company. However, so long as the loans are not under an event of default, as defined in the loan agreement, the cash flows from these properties, after payments of debt service, operating expenses and reserves, are available for distribution to the Company.

Exit Credit Agreement

On November 1, 2021, CBL & Associates HoldCo I, LLC (“HoldCo I”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Operating Partnership, entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the “Exit Credit Agreement”), providing for an $883,700 senior secured term loan that matures November 1, 2025. Upon satisfaction of certain conditions, the maturity date will automatically extend to November 1, 2026 and upon further satisfaction of certain conditions the maturity date will automatically extend to November 1, 2027. The Operating Partnership provided a limited guaranty up to a maximum of $175,000 (the “Principal Liability Cap”). The Principal Liability Cap will be reduced by an amount equal to 100% of the first $2,500 in principal amortization made by HoldCo I each calendar year and will be reduced further by 50% of the principal amortization payments made by HoldCo I each calendar year in excess of the first $2,500 in principal amortization for such calendar year. As of September 30, 2022, the Principal Liability Cap had been reduced to $144,426. The Principal Liability Cap is eliminated when the loan balance is reduced below $650,000.

Exchangeable Notes Indenture

On the Effective Date, HoldCo II entered into a secured exchangeable notes indenture relating to the issuance of 7.0% exchangeable senior secured notes due 2028 (the “Exchangeable Notes”) in an aggregate principal amount of $150,000. In December 2021, the Company announced that HoldCo II exercised its optional exchange right with respect to all the $150,000 aggregate principal amount of the Exchangeable Notes.

Per the terms of the indenture governing the Exchangeable Notes, shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001, plus cash in lieu of fractional shares, were issued to settle the exchange. On February 1, 2022, the Company issued 10,982,795 shares of common stock to holders of the Exchangeable Notes in satisfaction of principal, accrued interest and the makewhole payment, and all the Exchangeable Notes were cancelled in accordance with the terms of the indenture.
