In May 2023, the Company amended its revolving credit facility (“Amended Credit Facility”), whereby the total borrowing capacity was increased from INR 160,000 (or approximately $1,919 at the exchange rate in effect on March 31, 2024) to INR 320,000 (or approximately $3,838 at the exchange rate in effect on March 31, 2024), with Kotak Mahindra Bank. The revolving facility is available for the Company’s operational requirements. The funded drawdown amount under the Company’s revolving facility as of March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, is $3,802 and $1,364 respectively. The corresponding interest rate at each of these dates was six months Marginal Cost of Funds based Lending Rate plus a margin of 0.80% and 1.20%, respectively. Prior to the closing date, ATI modified the terms of payment owed to Shearman & Sterling LLP, a multinational law firm providing legal consultancy services to ATI. This resulted in the total amount owed by ATI to Shearman & Sterling LLP reducing from $4.8 million of accounts payable to $4 million of promissory note, payable in four equal tranches. Subsequently, the promissory note was amended upon payment of $1.5 million, wherein the balance $2.5 million was promised to be paid in two equal tranches. $2.5 million owed to Sherman & Sterling LLP has been disclosed as short-term debt, as ATI has an unconditional obligation to settle it within twelve months from March 31, 2024. After the Closing Date, ATI obtained an insurance policy for its directors and senior officers with maximum coverage of $5,000. The total premium payable in relation to this was $880 out of which $176 was paid upfront and balance $704 is payable in ten equal monthly instalments of $73. The arrangement represents a financing transaction where the premium payable has been deferred. The interest rate under the arrangement is 9.2 % per annum. The cumulative interest payable throughout the tenure under the arrangement amounts to $30 and the same would be recognized as part of the interest expense in the consolidated statement of operations. During the year ended March 31, 2024, the interest expense so recognized was $22. The balance premium payable as at March 31, 2024 is $432 and has been disclosed as a current liability since ATI has an unconditional obligation to settle it by September 2024. For additional information on the vehicle loan see Note 9 – Long-term debt.
