As per the conversion clause included in the Firment Shipping Credit Facility, the Company has recognized this agreement as a hybrid financial instrument which includes an embedded derivative. This embedded derivative component was separated from the non-derivative host.

For the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the amount drawn and outstanding with respect to Firment Shipping Credit Facility was $800 and $2,200, respectively. The non-derivative host at December 31, 2019 and 2018 amounted to $307 and $1,500, respectively and was classified under “current portion of long-term borrowings” and “non-current portion of long-term borrowings”, respectively in the consolidated statements of financial position.

If not converted or redeemed beforehand pursuant to the terms of the Convertible Note, the Convertible Note matured upon the anniversary of its issue. On March 13, 2020, Company and the holder of the Convertible Note entered into a waiver regarding the Convertible Note (the “Waiver”). The Waiver waives the Company’s obligation to repay the Convertible Note on the existing maturity date of March 13, 2020 and does not require the Company to repay the Convertible Note until March 13, 2021. The Convertible Note was issued in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

 

 

The Convertible Note provides for interest to accrue at 10% annually, which interest shall be paid on the first anniversary of the Convertible Note’s issuance unless the Convertible Note is converted or redeemed pursuant to its terms beforehand. The interest may be paid in common shares of the Company, if certain conditions described within the Convertible Note are met. With respect to the Convertible Note, the Company also signed a registration rights agreement with the private investor pursuant to which it agreed to register for resale the shares that could be issued pursuant to the Convertible Note.  The registration rights agreement contains liquidated damages if the Company is unable to register for resale the shares into which the Convertible Note may be converted and maintain such registration.

 

As per the conversion clause included in the Convertible Note, the Company has recognized this agreement as a hybrid financial instrument which includes an embedded derivative. This embedded derivative component was separated from the non-derivative host. The derivative component is shown separately from the non-derivative host in the consolidated statement of financial position at fair value. The changes in the fair value of the derivative financial instrument are recognized in the income statement component of the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss. The initial amount drawn with respect to the Convertible Note was $5,000. The non-derivative host and the derivative component that was initially recognized amounted to $1,783 and $3,217, respectively.
