(1) | In fiscal 2015, we financed seven CRJ-900 aircraft with $170.2 million in debt. The senior notes payable of $154.7 million bear interest at monthly LIBOR plus 2.71% and require monthly principal and interest payments. The subordinated notes payable are noninterest-bearing and become payable in full on the last day of the term of the notes. We imputed an interest rate of 6.25% on the subordinated notes payable and recorded a related discount of $8.1 million, which is being accreted to interest expense over the term of the notes.
(2) | In fiscal 2016, we financed ten E-175 aircraft with $246.0 million in debt under an EETC financing arrangement (see discussion below). The debt bears interest ranging from 4.75% to 6.25% and requires semi-annual principal and interest payments.
(3) | In fiscal 2016, we financed eight E-175 aircraft with $195.3 million in debt. The senior notes payable of $172.0 million bear interest at the three-month LIBOR plus a spread ranging from 2.20% to 2.32% and require quarterly principal and interest payments. The subordinated notes payable bear interest at 4.50% and require quarterly principal and interest payments.
(4) | In February 2018, we leased two spare engines. The leases were determined to be finance leases as the leases contain a bargain purchase option at the end of the term. Imputed interest is 9.13% and the leases require monthly payments. In April 2022, we leased a spare engine which was determined to be a finance lease. The lease requires monthly payments. In July 2022, we extended our existing two aircraft under operating leases, which were determined to be finance leases upon classification assessment.
(5) | In January 2019, we financed certain flight equipment with $91.2 million in debt. The debt bears interest at the monthly LIBOR plus 3.10% and requires monthly principal and interest payments.
(6) | In June 2019, we financed ten CRJ-700 aircraft with $70.0 million in debt, which were previously leased. The debt bears interest at the monthly LIBOR plus 5.00% and requires monthly principal and interest payments.
(7) | In September 2019, we financed certain flight equipment for $8.0 million. The debt bears interest at the monthly LIBOR plus 5.00% and requires monthly principal and interest payments.
(8) | In September 2019, we extended the term on our $35.0 million working capital draw loan by three years, which now terminates in December 2022. Interest is assessed on drawn amounts at one-month LIBOR plus 3.75%.
(9) | In October 2020, we entered into a loan and guarantee agreement with the U.S. Department of the Treasury for a secured loan facility of up to $200.0 million that matures on October 30, 2025. On October 30, 2020, we borrowed $43.0 million and on November 13, 2020, we borrowed an additional $152.0 million. These amounts bear interest at the three-month LIBOR plus 3.50%. No further borrowings are available under the loan and guarantee agreement.
(10) | In December 2021 and June 2022, we financed the purchase of spare engines with $35.3 million in debt. The debt bears interest at monthly LIBOR plus 4.25% and requires monthly principal and interest payments over a term of six years. The financing arrangement allows for additional borrowings to finance future engine purchases.
