On February 28, 2019, the Company entered into an amendment to the $460 Million Credit Facility, which provided an additional tranche of up to $35,000 to finance a portion of the acquisitions, installations, and related costs for scrubbers for 17 of the Company’s Capesize vessels (as so amended, the “$495 Million Credit Facility”).

On June 5, 2020, the Company entered into an amendment to the $495 Million Credit Facility to extend the period that collateral vessels can be sold or disposed of without prepayment of the loan if a replacement vessel or vessels meeting certain requirements are included as collateral from 180 days to 360 days. On February 18, 2021 and February 26, 2021, the Company utilized $3,471 and $5,339 of the proceeds from the sale of the Genco Charger and Genco Thunder, respectively, as loan prepayment under these terms. These amounts were classified as restricted cash in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2020 and are included in the total debt repayments below.

As a result of the loan prepayments for vessel sales, scheduled amortization payments were recalculated in accordance with the terms of the facility during April 2021.
