Additional borrowings under the expanded credit terms, which were $4,430,000 as of September 30, 2019, accrue interest at an annual rate equal to the daily three month LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 4.00%. As of September 30, 2019, Kinergy had additional unused borrowing availability under its credit facility of $2,247,000. Pekin Term Loan – On March 30, 2018, Pacific Ethanol Pekin, LLC (“PE Pekin”), one of the Company’s subsidiaries, amended its term loan facility by reducing the amount of working capital it is required to maintain to not less than $13.0 million from March 31, 2018 through November 30, 2018 and not less than $16.0 million from December 1, 2018 and continuing at all times thereafter. In addition, a principal payment in the amount of $3.5 million due for May 2018 was deferred until the maturity date of the term loan. On March 21, 2019, PE Pekin amended its term and revolving credit facilities by agreeing to increase the interest rate under the facilities by 125 basis points to an annual rate equal to the 30-day LIBOR plus 5.00%. PE Pekin and its lender also agreed that it is required to maintain working capital of not less than $15,000,000 from March 21, 2019 through July15, 2019 and working capital of not less than $30,000,000 from July 15, 2019 and continuing at all times thereafter. On July 15, 2019, PE Pekin and its lender agreed to a further amendment extending the aforementioned July 15, 2019 dates to November 15, 2019. As of the filing of this report, the Company believes PE Pekin is in compliance with its working capital requirement. Under these amendments, the lenders also agreed to temporarily waive financial covenant violations, working capital maintenance violations and intercompany accounts receivable collections violations that occurred with respect to PE Pekin’s credit agreement.

The waivers and principal deferrals expire on November 15, 2019, or earlier in the case of an event of default, at which time the waivers will become permanent if Pacific Ethanol Central, LLC (“PE Central”), PE Pekin’s parent, has made a contribution to PE Pekin in an amount equal to $30,000,000, minus the then-existing amount of PE Pekin’s working capital, plus the amount of any accounts receivable owed by PE Central to PE Pekin, plus $12,000,000 (the “PE Central Contribution Amount”). In addition, if the PE Central Contribution Amount is timely received, the lenders agreed to waive PE Pekin’s debt service coverage ratio financial covenant for the year ended December 31, 2019. If the PE Central Contribution Amount is not timely made, then the temporary waivers will automatically expire.
