Item 8.01 Other Events.
Effective June 8, 2023, following the deposit of the Redemption
Amount (as defined below) with U.S. Bank, and the satisfaction of
other conditions set forth in the Indenture, the Indenture was
satisfied and discharged in accordance with its terms. As a result
of the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture, the Company and
the Guarantor have been released from their obligations under the
Indenture, the Notes, and the guarantees thereof, except those
provisions of the Indenture that, by their terms, survive the
satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture.
As a condition to the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture,
on June 1, 2023 (the “Redemption Date”), the Company
irrevocably deposited sufficient funds with U.S. Bank to redeem all
of the outstanding $57,645,041 aggregate principal amount of its
10.25% Senior Secured Notes due 2027 (the “Notes”), at a price
equal to 104% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued
and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Redemption Date
(collectively, the “Redemption Amount”). The Company previously
notified the holders of the Notes on May 17, 2023, that
it had elected to redeem the Notes on the Redemption Date. The
Redemption Amount was paid using a portion of the proceeds from the
issuance of the Company’s 3.00% Green Convertible Senior Notes due
2028.
In connection with the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture
and the release of the Notes Collateral (as defined in the
Indenture), the Company also satisfied and discharged its
obligations under the related security documents, including the
Security Agreement, in accordance with the terms of such documents
and the terms of the Indenture.
