[1] As of June 30, 2015, the Partnership has classified $25 million of its 8.875% Senior Notes as a current liability reflecting the notice to redeem such notes, and the intent to repay using $25 million of current assets and the $100 million Term Loan provided in the third amended and restated revolving credit facility agreement.
[2] The 8.875% Senior Notes mature in December 2017 and accrue interest at an annual rate of 8.875% requiring semi-annual interest payments on June 1 and December 1 of each year. The discount on these notes was $0.3 million at June 30, 2015. On July 30, 2015, the Partnership and its co-issuer and wholly owned subsidiary SGFC delivered to the trustee of the indenture governing the 8.875% Senior Notes a notice of redemption to purchase for cash all of the outstanding $125 million in face amount of these notes at a redemption price of 104.438% plus any accrued but unpaid interest through the September 3, 2015, redemption date.
