Debt Disclosure [Abstract] |
SHORT-TERM AND LONG-TERM DEBT | SHORT-TERM AND LONG-TERM DEBT Senior Secured Term Loan —UBS On December 21, 2018, the Company entered into a credit agreement with UBS that consisted of a term loan of $280.0 million as well as a senior secured revolving credit facility with UBS (the “Senior Secured UBS Term Loan”, and together with the senior secured revolving credit facility, the “Credit Facilities”). The Senior Secured UBS Term Loan required quarterly principal and interest payments of LIBOR plus 5.5%. All remaining principal and interest payments are due on December 21, 2023. On November 12, 2019, the Company amended the Senior Secured UBS Term Loan in order to raise an additional $35.0 million. Under the amended agreement, the maturity date of the term loan and interest rate remained unchanged. However, the quarterly principal repayment changed to $0.8 million. The principal and quarterly interest are paid on the last business day of each quarter, except at maturity. As a result of this debt modification, the Company incurred $1.5 million in debt issuance costs, which was capitalized and is being amortized over the remaining term of the loan along with the unamortized debt issuance costs of the original debt. The term loan agreement limits cash dividends and other distributions from the Company’s subsidiaries to the Company and restricts the Company’s ability to pay cash dividends to its shareholders. The term loan agreement contains, among other things, financial covenants related to maximum total debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio and a minimum total leverage ratio. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The credit agreement is substantially secured by all the Company’s assets. The Company’s principal outstanding balances on the Senior Secured UBS Term Loan were $304.2 and $305.8 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility —UBS On December 21, 2018, the Company entered into a $30.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility with UBS (the “Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility”, and together with the Senior Secured UBS Term Loan, the “Credit Facilities”). Borrowings under the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a floating rate which can be, at the Company’s option, either (1) a LIBOR rate for a specified interest period plus an applicable margin of up to 5.50% or (2) a base rate plus an applicable margin of up to 4.5%. After the Closing Date, the applicable margins for LIBOR rate and base rate borrowings are each subject to a reduction to 5.25% and 4.25%, respectively, if the Company maintains a total leverage ratio of less than or equal to 5.00:1.00. The LIBOR rate applicable to the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility is subject to a “floor” of 0.0%. Additionally, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee of up to 0.50% per annum of the unused balance. The obligations of the Company and the obligations of the guarantors under the Credit Facilities are secured by first priority pledges of and security interests in (i) substantially all of the existing and future equity interests of KORE Wireless Group Inc. and each of its subsidiaries organized in the U.S., as well as 65% of the existing and future equity interests of certain first-tier foreign subsidiaries held by the borrower or the guarantors under the Credit Facilities and (ii) substantially all of the KORE Wireless Group Inc.’s and each guarantor’s tangible and intangible assets, in each case subject to certain exceptions and thresholds. As of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, no outstanding amounts were drawn on the revolving credit facility. Bank Overdraft Facility—BNP Paribas Fortis N.V. On October 8, 2018, a Belgium subsidiary of the Company entered into a €250,000 bank overdraft facility with BNP Paribas Fortis, (the “Bank Overdraft Facility”). Borrowings under the Bank Overdraft Facility have an indefinite term. Borrowings under the Bank Overdraft Facility bear interest at a floating rate which is a base rate plus an applicable margin of up to 2.0%. The base fee amounts to 9.40% as of June 30, 2022 and is variable. Any overages are charged against a percentage of 6% on a yearly basis. There is no commitment fee payable for the unused balance of the Bank Overdraft Facility. As of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the Company had €0 drawn on the Bank Overdraft Facility. Backstop Agreement On September 30, 2021, KORE Wireless Group Inc. issued $95.1 million in senior unsecured exchangeable notes due in 2028 (the “Backstop Notes”) to affiliates of Fortress Credit Corp. (“Fortress”) pursuant to the terms of the backstop agreement (the “Backstop Agreement”), dated July 27, 2021, by and among KORE Wireless Group Inc. and Fortress. The Backstop Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture (the “Indenture”), dated September 30, 2021, by and among the Company, KORE Wireless Group Inc. and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee, as amended and restated on November 15, 2021. On October 28, 2021, KORE Wireless Group issued an additional $24.9 million in additional notes (the “Additional Notes” and together with the Backstop Notes, the “Notes”) to Fortress, pursuant to the terms of an exchangeable notes purchase agreement (the “Exchangeable Notes Purchase Agreement”), dated October 28, 2021, by and among KORE Wireless Group Inc., the Company and Fortress. The Additional Notes were issued pursuant to the Indenture and contain identical terms to the Backstop Notes. The Notes were issued at par, have a maturity of seven years, bearing interest at the rate of 5.50% per annum which is paid semi-annually, March 30 and September 30 of each year, beginning on March 30, 2022. The Notes are guaranteed by the Company and are exchangeable into common stock of the Company at $12.50 per share (the “Base Exchange Rate”) at any time at the option of Fortress. At the Base Exchange Rate, the Notes are exchangeable into approximately 9.6 million shares of common stock. As of June 30, 2022, the value of the approximately 9.6 million shares underlying the Notes is less than the fair value of the Notes. The Base Exchange Rate may be adjusted for certain dilutive events or change in control events as defined by the Indenture (the “Adjusted Exchange Rate”). Additionally, if after the 2-year anniversary of September 30, 2021, the Company’s shares are trading at a defined premium to the Base Exchange Rate or applicable Adjusted Exchange Rate, the Company may redeem the Notes for cash, force an exchange into shares of its common stock at an amount per share based on a time-value make whole table, or settle with a combination of cash and an exchange (the “Company Option”). As consideration for Fortress entering into that certain commitment letter (the “Commitment Letter”), dated as of September 21, 2021, the Sponsor contributed 100,000 shares of common stock of the Company to LLC Merger Sub, which were transferred by LLC Merger Sub to Fortress, as a commitment fee, pursuant to the terms and upon the conditions set forth in the Commitment Letter. Prior to the implementation of ASU 2020-06, since the Company could use the Company Option to potentially settle all or part of the Notes for the cash equivalent of the fair value of the common stock for which the Notes may be exchanged, a portion of the proceeds of the Notes were required to be allocated to equity, based on the estimated fair value of the Notes had they not contained the exchange features. ASU 2020-06, simplifies and amends the cash conversion guidance so that the Company is no longer required to allocate to equity the estimated fair value of the Notes had they not contained the exchange features. Refer to “Note 2- Summary of Significant Accounting policies – Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements” to the condensed consolidated financial statements for a summary of the effects of the adoption of ASU 2020-06. The unamortized discount and issuance costs will be amortized through September 30, 2028. The effective interest rate after the adoption of ASU 2020-06 for the Additional Notes is 5.9% and 6.1% respectively. The Backstop Agreement and the Exchangeable Notes Purchase Agreement each contain a customary six-month lock up following the Closing, which prohibits Fortress from hedging the Notes by short selling the Company’s common stock or hedging the Notes via the Company’s warrants or options. The Indenture contains, among other things, financial covenants related to maximum total debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The table below outlines the principal balances and net carrying amounts outstanding of the Notes:
(in ‘000 USD) |  | Post ASU 2020-06 At June 30, 2022 |  | Pre ASU 2020-06 At December 31, 2021
