Long-Term Debt
Note 5 - Long-Term Debt
As discussed in Note 1c, the Company consummated the Recapitalization Agreement with the Secured Lenders and the Unsecured Lenders on the Closing Date, at which time the Company issued the Shares as well as the June Secured Debentures and June Unsecured Debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $119.7 million in exchange for the full satisfaction of the Secured Notes, Unsecured Debentures and the accrued interest and accrued fee obligations in the aggregate amount of $238.2 million.
Upon the consummation of the Recapitalization Transaction and as of the Closing Date, all existing Defaults under the Secured Notes and Unsecured Debentures were cured. As a result of the consummation of the Recapitalization Agreement, as of the Closing Date, the Secured Lenders and the Unsecured Lenders owned, in the aggregate,
 
97.25
% of the Company’s common shares.
Background of Recapitalization Transaction
Since March 31, 2020, the Company had not made interest payments due to the Secured Lenders and the Unsecured Lenders. Through June 24, 2022, the Company had been in default on the Secured Notes and Unsecured Debentures, which, as of June 24, 2022, consisted of $97.5 million and $60.0 million of principal amount and $38.5 million and $11.9 million in accrued interest, respectively. In addition, as a result of the default, the Company had accrued additional fees and interest of $16.2 million in excess of the aforementioned amounts.
As a result of the March 31, 2020 default, the Board of Directors of the Company formed a special committee comprised of the Company’s then five independent,
non-management
directors of the Company (the “Special Committee”) to, among other matters, explore and consider strategic alternatives available to the Company in light of the prospective liquidity requirements of the Company, the condition of the capital markets affecting companies in the cannabis industry, and the rapid change in the state of the economy and capital markets generally caused by
COVID-19,
including, but not limited to:
 
   
renegotiation of existing financing arrangements and other material contracts, including any amendments, waivers, extensions or similar agreements with the Lenders and/or stakeholders of the Company and/or its subsidiaries that the Special Committee determines are in the best interest of the Company and/or its subsidiaries;
 
   
managing available sources of capital, including equity investments or debt financing or refinancing and the terms thereof;
 
   
implementing the operational and financial restructuring of the Company and its subsidiaries and their respective businesses, assets and licensure and other rights; and
 
   
implementing other potential strategic transactions.
The Special Committee engaged Canaccord Genuity Corp. as its financial advisor to assist it in analyzing various strategic alternatives to address its capital structure and liquidity challenges.
On June 22, 2020, the Company received notice from the Collateral Agent, as collateral agent holding security for the benefit of the Secured Lenders, with a demand for repayment (the “Demand Letter”) under the Amended and Restated Secured Debenture Purchase Agreement dated October 10, 2019 (the “Secured Notes Purchase Agreement”) of the entire principal amount of the Secured Notes, together with interest, fees, costs and other allowable charges that had accrued or might accrue in accordance with the Secured Notes Purchase Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements (as defined in the Secured Notes Purchase Agreement). The Collateral Agent also concurrently provided the Company with a Notice of Intention to Enforce Security (the “BIA Notice”) under section 244 of the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (Canada) (the “BIA”).
On July 10, 2020, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into the Restructuring Support Agreement with the Secured Lenders and the Consenting Unsecured Lenders to affect the Recapitalization Transaction. Under the Restructuring Support Agreement, certain of the Secured Lenders agreed to provide interim financing in the amount of $14.7 million (the “Tranche Four Secured Notes”).
 
Subject to compliance with the Restructuring Support Agreement, the Secured Lenders and the Consenting Unsecured Lenders agreed to forbear from further exercising any rights or remedies in connection with any Defaults.
Pursuant to the terms of the Restructuring Support Agreement, the Recapitalization Transaction would be implemented pursuant to arrangement proceedings (“Arrangement Proceedings”) commenced under the British Columbia Business Corporations Act, or, only if necessary, the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (Canada). Completion of the Recapitalization Transaction through the Arrangement Proceedings was subject to, among other things, requisite stakeholder approval of the Plan of Arrangement.
Consummation of the Recapitalization Transaction through the Plan of Arrangement was subject to certain conditions, including approval of the Secured Lenders, Unsecured Lenders and existing holders of the Company’s common shares, warrants and options, which was obtained; approval of the Plan of Arrangement by the Court, which was obtained; and the receipt of all approvals by state-level regulators and the Canadian Securities Exchange (collectively, the “Requisite Approvals”). All Requisite Approvals required to consummate the Recapitalization Transaction were satisfied, conditioned, or waived by the Company, Secured Lenders and Consenting Unsecured Lenders, for purposes of closing the Recapitalization Transaction on the Closing Date. As of September 2022, the Company has finalized all outstanding Requisite Approvals, including state regulatory approvals in the states of New Jersey and New York.

(a) Secured Notes
Tranche One
On May 14, 2018, the Company issued $40.0 million secured notes (the “Tranche One Secured Notes”) with a maturity date of May 14, 2021. The principal amount of such notes along with accrued interest at the default rate of 16.0% per annum were extinguished on June 24, 2022 in connection with the closing of the Recapitalization Transaction. Due to the conversion price of $3.08 being less than the Company’s closing stock price on the date of issuance, this gave rise to a beneficial conversion feature valued at $7.9 million. The Company recognized this beneficial conversion feature as a debt discount and additional paid in capital on the Closing Date. The discount to the Tranche One Secured Notes was being fully amortized to accretion expense by the original maturity date of May 14, 2021. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the amount of amortization recorded in accretion expense was $Nil and $Nil, respectively (September 30, 2021—$Nil and $1.0 million, respectively), on the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operations. The terms also contain a financial covenant requiring the Company’s asset value to be 1.75 times the total net debt at each quarter end and requires that the Company maintain a minimum cash balance of $1.0 million while the Tranche One Secured Notes remained outstanding (the “market value test”).
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, interest expense of $Nil and $3.2 million, respectively (September 30, 2021 - $1.7 million and $5.0 million, respectively), and accretion expense of $Nil and $Nil, respectively (September 30, 2021 - $Nil and $2.4 million, respectively), were recorded on the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operations.
As of June 24, 2022, immediately prior to the consummation of the Recapitalization Transaction, the Company was not in compliance with the market value test, and the Company did not make interest payments, and therefore was in breach of a financial covenant with respect to the Tranche One Secured Notes, Tranche Two Secured Notes (as defined herein), and Tranche Three Secured Notes (as defined herein). Furthermore, the Company was in default on its Secured Notes as of March 31, 2020, and as a result, an event of default occurred on April 4, 2020. This default was triggered on the Company’s long-term debt, which

As a result of the default and through June 24, 2022, the Company classified the Tranche One Secured Notes, Tranche Two Secured Notes, and Tranche Three Secured Notes as current liabilities on the unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of June 24, 2022, this debt, related accrued interest and fees were fully satisfied pursuant to the terms of the Restructuring Support Agreement and no default existed with respect to the Tranche One Secured Notes, Tranche Two Secured Notes, and Tranche Three Secured Notes.

The Tranche Two Secured Notes accrued interest at 13.0% per annum and had an original maturity date of May 14, 2021. The principal amount of such notes along with accrued interest at the default rate of 16.0% per annum were extinguished on June 24, 2022 in connection with the closing of the Recapitalization Transaction.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, interest expense of $Nil and $1.6 million, respectively (September 30, 2021 - $0.8 million and $2.4 million, respectively), and accretion expense of $Nil and $Nil, respectively (September 30, 2021 - $Nil and $0.7 million, respectively), were recorded on the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Pursuant to the terms of the Secured DPA, ICM issued the Additional Secured Debentures on June 24, 2022 in the aggregate principal amount of $25.0 million which accrue interest at the rate of 8.0% per annum increasing to 11.0% per annum upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Secured DPA), with a maturity date of June 24, 2027.
The host debt, classified as a liability, was recognized at the fair value of $25.0 million.
Interest is to be paid in kind by adding the interest accrued on the principal amount on the last day of each fiscal quarter (the first such interest payment date being June 30, 2022) and such amount thereafter becoming part of the principal amount, which will accrue additional interest. Interest paid in kind will be payable on the date when all of the principal amount is due and payable.
