Convertible Senior Notes (the “CSN”)

On March 7, 2008, the Company completed the issuance of $310 million aggregate principal amount of 3% Convertible Senior Notes due 2013 with an interest due semi-annually on the 15th of March and September, beginning on September 15, 2008. The CSN were to be convertible in certain circumstances into cash and, if applicable, shares of our common stock, based on an initial conversion rate of 14.7113 shares per $1,000 principal amount, subject to certain adjustments. The proceeds from the CSN were used to fund the cash portions of the acquisition of Copecresto Enterprises Limited and Whitehall.

In the period from May 2012 to March 2013, the Company repurchased $52.1 million principal amount of CSN in six tranches for $50.2 million.

The maturity period of the CSN was on March 15, 2013. On that day the Company failed to pay $257.9 million principal due on the CSN and accrued interest of $4.2 million related to these Notes.

Total obligations under the CSN are shown net of deferred finance costs, amortized over the life of the borrowings using the effective interest rate method as shown in the table below:


	March 31, 2013		December 31, 2012

Convertible Senior Notes (CSN)	$	257,858	$	257,858
Unamortized debt discount		0		(148	)
Debt discount related to ASC 470-20		0		(788	)


Total	$	257,858	$	256,922

The fair value of the CSN as of March 31, 2013 and as of December 31, 2012 was $58.0 million and $138.1 million, respectively.

The ASC Topic 470-20 requires the issuer of convertible debt instruments with cash settlement features to separately account for the liability ($290.3 million as of the date of the issuance of the CSN) and equity components ($19.7 million as of the date of the issuance of the CSN) of the instrument. The debt component was recognized at the present value of its cash flows discounted using a 4.5% discount rate, our borrowing rate at the date of the issuance of the CSN for a similar debt instrument without the conversion feature. The equity component, recorded as additional paid-in capital, was $12.8 million, which represents the difference between the proceeds from the issuance of the CSN and the fair value of the liability, net of deferred taxes of $6.9 million as of the date of the issuance of the CSN. ASC Topic 470-20 also requires an accretion of the resultant debt discount over the expected life of the CSN, which was March 7, 2008 to March 15, 2013. For the period ended March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012 the additional pre-tax non-cash interest expense recognized in the consolidated statement of operations was $0.8 million and $1.1 million, respectively. Accumulated amortization related to the debt discount was $19.7 million and $18.9 million as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

Under the terms of the CSN Indenture, the failure to pay principal when done constituted an Event of Default. The Company addressed the default under CSN through the Plan of Reorganization as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 filed with the SEC on June 18, 2013. Effective June 5, 2013, the outstanding balance of CSN was cancelled.

Senior Secured Notes (the “SSN”)

On December 2, 2009, the Company issued $380 million 9.125% Senior Secured Notes due 2016 and €380 million ($487.1 million) 8.875% Senior Secured Notes due 2016 in an unregistered offering to institutional investors. The Company used a portion of the net proceeds from the SSN to redeem the Company’s outstanding 2012 Notes, having an aggregate principal amount of €245.4 million ($314.6 million) on January 4, 2010. The remainder of the net proceeds from the SSN was used to (i) purchase Lion Capital’s remaining equity interest in Russian Alcohol Group by exercising the Lion Option and the Co-Investor Option, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Lion Option Agreement and the Co-Investor Option Agreement, respectively (ii) repay all amounts outstanding under Russian Alcohol Group credit facilities; and (iii) repay certain other indebtedness.

On December 9, 2010, the Company issued an additional €50.0 million ($64.1 million) 8.875% Senior Secured Notes due 2016 in an unregistered offering to institutional investors. The Company used the net proceeds from the additional 2016 Notes to repay its term loans and overdraft facilities with Bank Handlowy w Warszawie S.A and Bank Zachodni WBK S.A.

As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 the Company had accrued interest of $27.9 million and $7.1 million respectively, related to the SSN, with the next coupon due for payment on June 1, 2013, that was not paid.

The failure to pay principal when due on the CSN constituted an Event of Default under the SSN Indenture. Under the 2016 SSN Indenture, if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, then the Trustee or holders of not less than 25% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 9.125% Senior Secured Notes due 2016 and 8.875% Senior Secured Notes due 2016 may, declare the principal plus any accrued and unpaid interest on the SSN to be immediately due and payable. The default on CSN caused the SSN to become callable on demand. The Company addressed the default under SSN through the Plan of Reorganization as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year December 31, 2012 filed with the SEC on June 18, 2013.
