Long-term debt, net |  | $ | 164,921 |  | $ | 238,229 | ​
​ As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, $6,079 and $7,771 of deferred financing costs, respectively, were presented as a direct deduction within the outstanding debt balance in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Amortization expense for deferred financing costs for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 was $1,694, $3,536 and $3,903, respectively. This amortization expense is recorded as a component of Interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. ​ On August 31, 2021, the $495 Million Credit Facility and the $133 Million Credit Facility were refinanced with the $450 Million Credit Facility as noted below. ​ Effective August 31, 2021, the portion of the unamortized deferred financing costs for the $495 Million Credit Facility and the $133 Million Credit Facility that was accounted for as a debt modification, rather than an extinguishment of debt, is being amortized over the life of the $450 Million Credit Facility in accordance with ASC 470-50. ​ $450 Million Credit Facility ​ On August 3, 2021, the Company entered into the $450 Million Credit Facility, a five-year senior secured credit facility which is allocated between an up to $150,000 term loan facility and an up to $300,000 revolving credit facility which was used to refinance the Company’s $495 Million Credit Facility and its $133 Million Credit Facility. On August 31, 2021, proceeds of $350,000 under the $450 Million Credit Facility were used, together with cash on hand, to refinance all of the Company’s existing credit facilities (the $495 Million Credit Facility and the $133 Million Credit Facility, as described below) into one facility. $150,000 was drawn down under the term loan facility and $200,000 was drawn down under the revolving credit facility. ​ The key terms associated with the $450 Million Credit Facility are as follows: ​
| ● | The final maturity date is August 3, 2026.
​
| ● | Borrowings are subject to a limit of the ratio of the principal amount of debt outstanding to the collateral (“LTV”) of 55%.
​
| ● | There is a non-committed accordion term loan facility whereby additional borrowings of up to $150,000 may be incurred if additional eligible collateral is provided; such additional borrowings are subject to an LTV ratio of 60% for collateral vessels less than five years old or 55% for collateral vessels at least five years old but not older than seven years.
​
| ● | Borrowings bear interest at LIBOR plus a margin of 2.15% to 2.75% based on the Company’s quarterly total net leverage ratio (the ratio of total indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA), which may be increased or decreased by a margin of up to 0.05% based on the Company’s performance regarding emissions targets. Upon cessation of the LIBOR rate, borrowings will bear interest at a rate based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York plus a spread adjustment, plus the applicable margin referred to above.
​
| ● | Scheduled quarterly commitment reductions are $11,720 per quarter followed by a balloon payment of $215,600.
​
| ● | Collateral includes thirty-nine of our current vessels, leaving five vessels unencumbered.
​
| ● | Commitment fees are 40% of the applicable margin for unutilized commitments.
​
| ● | The Company can sell or dispose of collateral vessels without loan prepayment if a replacement vessel or vessels meeting certain requirements are included as collateral within 360 days.
​
| ● | The Company is subject to customary financial covenants, including a collateral maintenance covenant requiring the aggregate appraised value of collateral vessels to be at least 140% of the principal amount of loans outstanding, a minimum liquidity covenant requiring our unrestricted cash and cash equivalents to be the greater of $500 per vessel or 5% of total indebtedness, a minimum working capital covenant requiring consolidated current assets (excluding restricted cash) minus current liabilities (excluding the current portion of debt) to be not less than zero, and a debt to capitalization covenant requiring the ratio of total net indebtedness to total capitalization to be not more than 70%.
​
| ● | The Company may declare and pay dividends and other distributions so long as, at the time of declaration, (1) no event of default has occurred and is continuing or would occur as a result of the declaration and (2) the Company is in pro forma compliance with its financial covenants after giving effect to the dividend. Other restrictions in the dividend covenants of the Company’s prior credit facilities were eliminated.
​ On November 8, 2022, the Company entered into an agreement with the lenders under the $450 Million Credit Facility to extend the 360-day period that the net proceeds received from the sale of the Genco Provence may be held as restricted cash to finance a qualifying replacement vessel until October 28, 2023. Refer also to Note 4 — Vessel Acquisitions and Dispositions. ​ As of December 31, 2022, there was $212,930 of availability under the $450 Million Credit Facility.
