During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company adopted ASU 2015-03 (refer to Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) which requires debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability to be presented on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as a direct deduction from the debt liability rather than as a deferred financing cost assets. The Company applied this guidance for all of its credit facilities with the exception of the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility and the revolving credit facility portion of the $148 Million Credit Facility, which represent revolving credit agreements which are not addressed in ASU 2015-03. Accordingly, as of March 31, 2016, $8,883 of deferred financing costs were presented as a direct deduction within the outstanding debt balance in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Furthermore, the Company reclassified $9,411 of deferred financing costs from Deferred Financing Costs, net to the Current Portion of Long-Term Debt as of December 31, 2015. Collateral Maintenance Compliance The Company is required to be in compliance with covenants under all of its eight credit facilities on a quarterly basis. At March 31, 2016, we were not in compliance with the collateral maintenance covenants under the 2014 Term Loan Facilities and the $148 Million Credit Facility. Such noncompliance does not currently constitute an event of default under any of our credit agreements and is subject to cure or waiver within the applicable grace period. The Company has entered into short-term waivers with its lenders for grace periods following non-compliance until May 31, 2016 under the $100 Million Term Loan Facility, $253 Million Term Loan Facility, the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility and the $148 Million Credit Facility. See the description of each facility below for detailed information surrounding the specific shortfall and applicable cure. Additionally, each of the Company’s credit facilities contain cross default provisions that could be triggered by the Company’s failure to satisfy its collateral maintenance covenants if such failure is not cured or waived within the applicable grace period. Given the foregoing noncompliance, the existence of the cross default provisions, and the absence of any current solution which would cure the noncompliance for at least the next 12 months, the Company has determined that it should classify its outstanding indebtedness as a current liability as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. Amendment and Consent Agreements Related to the Merger On July 14, 2015, Baltic Trading and certain of its wholly owned subsidiaries entered into agreements (the “Amendment and Consent Agreements”) to amend, provide consents under, or waive certain provisions of the $22 Million Term Loan Facility (as defined below), 2014 Term Loan Facilities (as defined below) and the $148 Million Credit Facility (as defined below) (each a “Facility” and collectively the “Facilities”). The Amendment and Consent Agreements implemented, among other things, the following:
| · |  | The existing covenants measuring collateral maintenance under the 2014 Term Loan Facilities were amended as follows: the minimum fair market value of vessels pledged as security (together with the value of any additional collateral) is required to be (i) for the period from June 30, 2015 up to and including December 30, 2015, 125% of the amount outstanding under such Facilities; (ii) for the period from December 31, 2015 up to and including March 30, 2016, 130% of such amount; and (iii) for the period from March 31, 2016 and thereafter, 135% of such amount.
| · |  | The existing covenant measuring collateral maintenance under the $22 Million Term Loan Facility was amended so that through and including the period ending June 30, 2016, the minimum fair market value of vessels mortgaged under such Facility is required to be 110% of the amount outstanding under such Facility.
| · |  | Under the $148 Million Credit Facility, the existing covenant measuring collateral maintenance was amended so that through and including the period ending December 31, 2015, the minimum fair market value of vessels mortgaged under such Facility is required to be 130% of the amount outstanding under such Facility and thereafter, 140% of such amount, except that for the period through and including the period ending December 31, 2015, such percentage was increased to 140% at the time of funding of the term loan for the Baltic Scorpion on August 3, 2015.
| · |  | The calculation of the minimum consolidated net worth was reduced by $30,730 to $270,150 under each Facility to account for the reduction of equity due to the impairment associated with the sale of the Baltic Tiger and Baltic Lion vessels.
| · |  | The measurement of the maximum leverage ratio under each Facility was amended to exclude from the numerator thereof (which is the amount of indebtedness included in the calculation of such financial covenant) any committed but undrawn working capital lines.
| · |  | Under the $148 Million Credit Facility, following consummation of the Merger on July 17, 2015, the amount of cash to be held by the administrative agent under such Facility (or otherwise remaining undrawn under certain working capital lines) for each collateral vessel mortgaged under such Facility, as required under the under the minimum liquidity covenant under such Facility, was amended to an amount of $750 per vessel.
| · |  | Following completion of the Merger on July 17, 2015, all corporate wide financial covenants of Baltic Trading are to be measured on a consolidated basis with the Company (the “Consolidated Covenant Amendments”).
| · |  | Waivers or consents under the Facilities to permit the delisting of Baltic Trading’s stock on the New York Stock Exchange (which constitutes a change of control under each such Facility) and the termination of the Management Agreement, dated as of March 15, 2010, by and between GS&T and Baltic Trading.
| · |  | Waivers or consents under each of the Facilities to permit the Merger.
| · |  | Waivers or consents to certain covenants under each of the Facilities to the extent such covenants would otherwise be breached as a result of the Merger.
On July 17, 2015, when the Merger was completed, the Company executed a guaranty of the obligations of the borrowers under each of the Facilities. The execution of the guarantees, together with certain other items that were previously delivered, satisfied all conditions to the effectiveness of all provisions of the Amendment and Consent Agreements. $98 Million Credit Facility On November 4, 2015, thirteen of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries entered into a Facility Agreement, by and among such subsidiaries as borrowers (collectively, the “Borrowers”); Genco Holdings Limited, a newly formed direct subsidiary of Genco of which the Borrowers are direct subsidiaries (“Holdco”); certain funds managed or advised by Hayfin Capital Management, Breakwater Capital Ltd, or their nominee, as lenders; and Hayfin Services LLP, as agent and security agent (the “$98 Million Credit Facility”).

The Company is prohibited from paying dividends under this facility until May 1, 2017. Following May 1, 2017, the amount of dividends the Company may pay is limited based on the amount of the loans outstanding under the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below) and the $98 Million Credit Facility, as well as the ratio of the value of vessels and certain other collateral pledged under the $98 Million Credit Facility. The Facility Agreement includes usual and customary events of default and remedies for facilities of this nature. As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company had deposited $9,750 that has been reflected as restricted cash.

Amounts borrowed under the 2014 Term Loan Facilities may not be reborrowed. The 2014 Term Loan Facilities have a ten-year term, and the facility amount is to be the lowest of 60% of the delivered cost per vessel, $16,800 per vessel, and 60% of the fair market value of each vessel at delivery. The 2014 Term Loan Facilities are insured by the China Export & Credit Insurance Corporation (Sinosure) in order to cover political and commercial risks for 95% of the outstanding principal plus interest, which was recorded in deferred financing fees. Borrowings under the 2014 Term Loan Facilities bear interest at the three or six-month LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin of 2.50% per annum. Borrowings are to be repaid in 20 equal consecutive semi-annual installments of 1/24 of the facility amount plus a balloon payment of 1/6 of the facility amount at final maturity. Principal repayments commenced six months after the actual delivery date for each respective vessel. Borrowings under the 2014 Term Loan Facilities are secured by liens on the vessels acquired with borrowings under these facilities, namely the Baltic Hornet and Baltic Wasp, and other related assets.

Borrowings under the term loan facility of the $148 Million Credit Facility may be incurred pursuant to two single term loans in an amount of $16,500 each that were used to finance, in part, the purchase of two newbuilding Ultramax vessels that the Company had agreed to acquire, namely the Baltic Scorpion and Baltic Mantis. Amounts borrowed under the term loan facility of the $148 Million Credit Facility may not be re-borrowed. The $148 Million Credit Facility has a maturity date of December 31, 2019.

The $148 Million Credit Facility requires the Company to comply with a number of customary covenants substantially similar to those in the 2010 Credit Facility, including financial covenants related to liquidity, leverage, consolidated net worth and collateral maintenance. As of March 31, 2016, there was no availability under the $148 Million Credit Facility.

A waiver was entered into on April 12, 2016 which extended the cure period to May 31, 2016. Although the Company has since obtained a waiver for the cure period for the collateral maintenance shortfall, as of March 31, 2016, the Company believed it was probable that it would not be in compliance with certain covenants at measurement dates within the next twelve months.
