On June 28, 2024, we entered into a second lien credit agreement which provided a term loan in a principal amount of $100,000 with a maturity date of June 28, 2029. The term loan bears an interest rate of SOFR (5.309% at September 30, 2024), plus an applicable margin of 5.875% per annum. Interest is payable quarterly and unpaid interest and principal is due in the aggregate on June 28, 2029. As of September 30, 2024, we incurred $5,124 in lenders fees and debt issuance costs.

On April 5, 2024, an omnibus amendment and reaffirmation agreement was executed with reference to the note purchase and private shelf agreement, dated as of July 27, 2021, and two new series B notes (first lien and second lien) were authorized in the amounts of $92,512 and $12,657, with a maturity date of June 30, 2042. Gross proceeds from the initial issuance on April 5, 2024 were $83,282 and $12,292 with the remainder to be issued upon achieving certain permitting-related and other administrative conditions. The notes bear interest at fixed rates of 6.20% and 8.00%, respectively, per annum and the interest is payable quarterly commencing September 30, 2024. At closing, we incurred $1,296 in lenders fees and debt issuance costs. Proceeds from these notes in the amount of $86,462 were used to pay a portion of the August 2023 construction credit facility. In connection with these notes, we recorded two derivative instruments for make-whole provisions with initial values of $8,733 and $647, respectively, which were recorded as debt discount.

We were in default on this credit facility due to administrative errors, for which a waiver was received on June 27, 2024.
Debt Instruments - Energy Asset Acquisitions
As discussed in Note 6, on August 4, 2023, we acquired an energy asset project. The purchase price for phase 1 was $87,964, of which $5,000 was paid in cash, $46,694 was financed through a seller’s note, and we assumed a construction loan on the energy asset project for $36,270. During the year ended December 31, 2023, we paid $18,400 in principal on the seller’s note. In January 2024, the purchase price was increased by $1,147 and we paid off the seller’s note in the amount of $29,441.
On February 26, 2024, the construction loan in the amount of $36,270 was converted into a term loan and has a maturity date of April 2030. The term loan bears a base SOFR interest rate of 5.31% at September 30, 2024, and an applicable margin of 1.635% per annum for four years after the term conversion date and 1.76% per annum for the following two years. The interest and principal are paid quarterly commencing on March 31, 2024. We failed to achieve the final conditions required to convert the term loan on or prior to June 30, 2024, therefore, the $35,696 outstanding balance was classified as current debt at June 30, 2024. We received a waiver and met the final conditions on August 14, 2024 and the current and non-current debt was classified accordingly at September 30, 2024.
In the second phase, which closed on January 12, 2024, we acquired BCE, including its interest in a consolidated joint venture and its interests in project subsidiaries developing or with rights to develop solar, battery, and microgrid assets for an adjusted purchase price of $48,035, of which $9,839 was paid in cash and $32,500 was financed through a seller’s note. The note bore interest at a fixed rate of 5.0% per annum and the principal and interest was due in August 2024. The note was amended on August 2, 2024 to provide that it be paid in four installments through December 16, 2024 and bears interest at a rate of 5.0% per annum through August 2, 2024 and a rate of 9.0% per annum thereafter. The note was also amended on September 17, 2024 to provide that it be paid in three installments through November 1, 2024. In September 2024, we paid a portion of the seller’s note in the amount of $12,500.
