Secured Term Note
On April 8, 2021, the Company entered into a loan agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with AmeriState Bank (“Lender”), as lender, pursuant to the United States Department of Agriculture, Business & Industry Loan Program, to provide for an advancing loan facility in the aggregate principal amount of up to $10.0 million (the “AmeriState Loan”). As of December 31, 2022 and
2021, the amount drawn and outstanding totaled $9.0 million. The AmeriState Loan, which is in the form of a term loan facility, matures on April 8, 2031 and bears interest at 5.75% per annum through April 8, 2026, and the U.S. prime lending rate plus 2.5% per annum thereafter. The AmeriState Loan provides that proceeds from borrowings may be used for working capital purposes at the Company’s liquefaction plant in George West, Texas and related fees and costs associated with the AmeriState Loan. Upon an Event of Default (as defined in the Loan Agreement), the Lender may (i) terminate its commitment, (ii) declare the outstanding principal amount of the Advancing Notes (as defined in the Loan Agreement) due and payable, or (iii) exercise all rights and remedies available to Lender under the Loan Agreement.
On April 8, 2021, Mile High LNG LLC, Stabilis GDS, Inc., Stabilis LNG Eagle Ford LLC and Stabilis Energy Services, LLC, each a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (collectively, “Debtor”), entered into a Security Agreement and Assignment (the “Security Agreement”) in favor of the Lender. The Security Agreement grants to Lender a first priority security interest in the collateral identified therein, which includes specific equipment owned by the Company.
Beginning December 31, 2022, the Loan Agreement requires the Company to meet certain financial covenants which include a debt-to-net-worth ratio of not more than 9.1 to 1.0 and a debt service coverage ration of not less than 1.2 to 1.0. At December 31, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all of its debt covenants.
Secured Promissory Note - Related Party
On August 16, 2019, the Company issued a Secured Promissory Note to MG Finance Co., Ltd., a related party, in the principal amount of $5.0 million, at an interest rate per annum of 6.0% until December 10, 2020, and 12.0% thereafter, maturing in December 2022. On September 20, 2021, the Company amended its secured promissory note with MG Finance Co., Ltd, to defer scheduled debt and interest payments from September through December 2021 for a period of one year, with such payments to be included with the scheduled payments from September through December 2022. The Company again amended its secured promissory note with MG Finance Co., Ltd, on March 9, 2022 to defer scheduled debt and interest payments beginning April 2022 and lower the interest rate from 12.0% to 6.0%. Repayments under the amendment resumed in October 2022 and are in equal monthly installments through December 2023. The balance at December 31, 2022 of $2.4 million is classified as current on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet in accordance with the amended terms. The debt is secured by certain equipment of the Company. See Note 12 for a further discussion of this Secured Promissory Note.
Insurance Notes Payable
The Company finances its annual commercial insurance premiums for its business and operations with a finance company. The dollar amount financed was $1.4 million for the 2022 to 2023 policy. The outstanding principal balance on the premium finance note was $0.8 million at December 31, 2022 and $0.9 million at December 31, 2021. The renewal occurred in September 2022 and covers a period of up to one year. The Company makes equal monthly payments of principal and interest over the term of the notes which are generally 10 months or 11 months in term. The interest rate for the 2022 to 2023 insurance policy is 6.31%. The interest rate for the 2021 to 2022 insurance policy was 3.95%.
Unsecured Promissory Note
The Company received loan proceeds of $1.1 million (the “PPP Loan”) in 2020 pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”). Under the terms of the PPP, all or a portion of the principal may be forgiven if the PPP Loan proceeds are used for qualifying expenses as described in the CARES Act, such as payroll costs, benefits, rent, and utilities. In June 2021, the forgiveness of the PPP Loan was approved by the Small Business Administration in full and the PPP Loan has been forgiven. The Company recognized a gain on forgiveness of debt in the amount of $1.1 million during 2021, which is included in other income (expense) within our Consolidated Statements of Operations.
