The Company considered the guidance under ASC 470-50 “Debt Modifications and Extinguishments” for both transactions and concluded that the first should be accounted for as a debt modification and the second as a debt extinguishment. None of these transactions incurred additional fees or finance fee write-offs. With respect to the $1,000 of principal that was to be settled in common shares, the Company considered the guidance in ASC 480 that requires obligations that can be settled in shares with a fixed monetary value at settlement (e.g., share-settled debt) and followed the guidance in ASC 835-30 to accrue the liability to the redemption amount using the interest method.
