COVID-19

The global health crisis caused by COVID-19 and the related government actions and stay at home orders have negatively impacted economic activity and increased political instability across the globe. The outbreak could have a continued material adverse impact on economic and market conditions and trigger a period of global economic slowdown. There have been numerous obstacles presented and some localized financial impacts of the pandemic, including fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and customer demand and spending pattern changes. During the sixthree months ended June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, the COVID-19 pandemic did not have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s results of operations. While we arethe Company is following the requirements of governmental authorities and taking additional preventative and protective measures to ensure the safety of ourits workforce, including remote working arrangements and varying procedures for essential workforce, the outbreak presents some uncertainty and risk with respect to the Company and its performance and financial results.

sources for measuring and reporting inflation. In the second quarter of 2018, the Argentine peso rapidly devalued relative to the U.S. dollar, which along with increased inflation, indicated that the three-year cumulative inflation rate in that country exceeded 100 percent as of June 30, 2018. As a result, the Company elected to adopt highly inflationary accounting as of July 1, 2018 for its subsidiary in Argentina. Under highly inflationary accounting, the functional currency of the Company's subsidiary in Argentina became the U.S. dollar, and its income statement and balance sheet will be measured in U.S. dollars using both current and

historical rates of exchange. The effect of changes in exchange rates on Argentine peso-denominated monetary assets and liabilities will beare reflected in earnings. As the three-year cumulative inflation rate exceeded 100 percent as of June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, there is no change to highly inflationary accounting. As of June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, the Company’s subsidiary in Argentina had net assets of ($4.5)8.7) million. Net sales attributable to Argentina were approximately 8%10.5% and 11% of the Company’s consolidated net sales for each of the sixthree months ended June 30,March 31, 2022 and 2021, and 2020, respectively.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”, which introduces a new

The amendments in the new guidance remove, modify and add
certain disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements covered in Topic 820, "Fair Value Measurement". The new standard was effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company adopted the new guidance on January 1, 2020.

The amendments simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles of Topic 740, "Income Taxes" and also improve consistent application by clarifying and amending existing guidance.

The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company.

Impairment of goodwill(6,380)
Ending balance$—

As a result of the operating segment realignment discussed in Note 19 - Segment Information, the composition of the Company's reporting units for the evaluation of goodwill impairment has changed. Historically, the Company's reporting units were identified at the operating segment level, which consisted of AgroFresh Core and AgroFresh Fruit Protection and all of the Company's goodwill was assigned to the AgroFresh Fruit Protection reporting unit. Effective December 31, 2021, the Company concluded that it has 1 operating segment and 1 reporting unit, which resulted in the reassignment of its goodwill to its stand-alone reporting unit. Prior to the change, the Company tested goodwill for impairment at the previous reporting unit, which did not result in any impairment charge. Based upon the Company's impairment assessment at the new reporting unit (consolidated AgroFresh), the Company determined the carrying amount of the consolidated entity exceeded its fair value. As a result, the Company recorded $6.4 million in goodwill impairment charges during the year ended December 31, 2020 were as follows:

The Amended

Table of Contents
Credit Agreement amends and restates in its entirety the Prior Credit Facility (defined below).Agreement a subsidiary of the Company had with Bank of Montreal that was entered into on July 31, 2015.

The Amended Credit Agreement provides for a $25.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Amended Revolving Loan”), which matures on June 30, 2024, and a $275.0 million term credit facility (the “Amended Term Loan” and, together with the Amended Revolving Loan, the “Amended Credit Facility”), which matures on December 31, 2024. The Amended Credit Facility includes a $5.0 million swingline commitment and a $10.0 million letter of credit sub-limit. Loans under the Amended Term Loan bear interest at a rate equal to, at the Company’s option, either the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate for the interest period in effect for such borrowing plus an Applicable Rate of 6.25% per annum, or the Alternate Base Rate plus an Applicable Rate of 5.25% per annum. Loans under the Amended Revolving Loan bear interest at a rate equal to, at the Company’s option, the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate

for the interest period in effect for such borrowing plus the Applicable Rate ranging from 6.25% to 6.0% per annum, based on certain ratios. The interest rate was 7.25% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.March 31, 2022. The Company is also required to pay a commitment fee on the unused portion of the Amended Revolving Loan at a rate ranging from 0.5% to 0.375%, based on certain ratios. The Company is required to make mandatory prepayments of outstanding indebtedness under the Amended Credit Agreement under certain circumstances. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, a prepayment of principal of $9.1 million was made.

The obligations of AgroFresh Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and the borrower under the Amended Credit Facility, are initially guaranteed by the Company and the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, AF Solutions Holdings LLC (together with AgroFresh Inc. and the Company, the “Loan Parties”) and may in the future be guaranteed by certain other domestic subsidiaries of the Company. The obligations of the Loan Parties under the Amended Credit Agreement and other loan documents are secured, subject to customary permitted liens and other agreed upon exceptions, by a perfected security interest in all tangible and intangible assets of the Loan Parties, except for certain excluded assets, and equity interests of certain foreign subsidiaries of the Loan Parties held by the Loan Parties (subject to certain exclusions and limitations).

The Refinancing was deemed a partial extinguishment of the Term Loan (as defined below) under ASC Topic No. 470-50, ���Debt – Modifications and Extinguishments” (Topic No. 470), whereby $107.1 million of the $403.8 million outstanding at the time of the Refinancing was deemed an extinguishment and $296.7 million was deemed a modification of debt. As such, unamortized deferred issuance costs related to the extinguishment of $0.7 million were written off in debt modification and extinguishment expenses and the remaining $1.9 million was deferred and amortized over the term of the Amended Term Loan.

In connection with the Amended Term Loan, expenses incurred related to existing lenders of $4.4 million were recognized in debt modification and extinguishment expenses. Expenses to new lenders of $1.1 million were deferred and amortized over the term of the Amended Term Loan along with $6.4 million of lender fees and issue discounts.

In total, the Company deferred debt issuance costs of $7.5 million related to the Amended Term Loan, $1.9 million related to the modification of the Term Loan and $0.5 million related to the Amended Revolving Loan. The debt issuance costs associated with the Amended Term Loan were capitalized against the principal balance of the debt, and the Amended Revolving Loan costs were capitalized in Other Assets. All issuance costs will be accreted through interest expense using the effective interest method for the duration of each respective debt facility. The interest expense related to the amortization of the Amended Credit Facility debt issuance costs during each of the three and six months ended June 30,March 31, 2022 and 2021 was $0.5 million and $0.9 million. As of June 30, 2021March 31, 2022, there were $7.4$6.0 million of unamortized deferred issuance costs.

At June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, there was $263.9$261.8 million outstanding under the Amended Term Loan and 0no balance outstanding under the Amended Revolving Loan. Due to the prepayment, an additional $0.3 million of deferred financing costs were expensed based on the portion of debt paid. At June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, the Company evaluated the amount recorded under the Amended Term Loan and determined that the fair value was approximately $264.9$260.5 million. The fair value of the debt is based on quoted inactive market prices and is therefore classified as Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy.

Certain restrictive covenants are contained in the Amended Credit Agreement, and the Company was in compliance with these covenants as of June 30, 2021.March 31, 2022.

Interest Rate Swap

PPP Loan

As part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act"), the Company received a Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") loan to offset eligible costs incurred during the period. Under the terms of the PPP, PPP loans and accrued interest are forgivable after twenty-four weeks as long as the borrower uses the loan proceeds for eligible purposes, including payroll, benefits, rent and utilities, and maintains its payroll levels. The amount of loan forgiveness would have been reduced if the borrower terminated employees or reduced salaries during the forgiveness period.

The Company used the entire loan proceeds to fund its eligible payroll expenses and mortgage interest, avoiding furlough of office employees. As a result, the Company believed that it had met the PPP eligibility criteria for forgiveness and concluded that the loan represents, in substance, a government grant that is expected to be forgiven. As such, in accordance with IAS 20 “Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance” the Company recognized the entire loan amount as Grant Income during the three months ended June 30, 2020. The full amount of this loan was forgiven during the three months ended June 30, 2021.

17.    Earnings Per Share
Basic lossThe Company computes (loss) earnings per share ("EPS") using the two-class method. The two-class method is calculatedan earnings allocation formula that treats a participating security as having rights to earnings that otherwise would have been available to common stockholders. The outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock are participating securities because holders have non-forfeitable dividend rights and participate in undistributed earnings with common stock.

Basic EPS was computed by dividing net loss(loss) income allocable to common stockholders, after deducting undistributed earnings allocated to participating securities,by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding.

For the calculation of diluted EPS, net income for basic EPS is adjusted by the effect of dilutive securities. Diluted EPS attributable to AgroFresh Solutions, Inc. common stockholders is computed by dividing the resulting net income for basic EPS adjusted by the weighted averageeffect of dilutive preferred stock by the weighted-average number of common shares outstandingadjusted for the period. effect of dilutive shares. The Company also applied the if-converted method to calculate dilution on the Series B Preferred Stock, which resulted in 31.0 million additional shares. This calculation was anti-dilutive.

The Company had a net lossfor the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.March 31, 2022.

18.    Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes consists of provisions for federal, state and foreign income taxes. The effective tax rates for the periods ended June 30,March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, and June 30, 2020, reflect the Company’s expected tax rate on reported income (loss) from continuing operations before income tax and tax adjustments. The Company operates in a global environment with significant operations in the U.S. and various other jurisdictions outside the U.S. Accordingly, the consolidated income tax rate is a composite rate reflecting the Company’s earnings and the applicable tax rates in the various jurisdictions where the Company operates.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act was enacted in the U.S. The CARES Act included tax changes and financial aid designed to protect the American people from the public health and economic impacts of COVID-19. The tax changes included allowing net operating losses to be carried back five years, suspending the 80% of taxable income limitation on the use of net operating losses, an increase of the 30% of EBITDA limitation on the deduction of interest expense from 30% to 50%, excluding any grant income associated with forgiven PPP loans, and the acceleration of the refund for alternative minimum tax credits granted under the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“TCJA”).Most significant to the Company are the modifications on the limitation on business interest deductions for tax year 2020, allowing an increase for

Table of Contents
deductible interest expense in the U.S. In addition, the grant income associated with the PPP loans was non-taxable income in the U.S. for tax year 2020.

The Company's U.S. operations have incurred cumulative taxable losses through June 30, 2021.March 31, 2022. The Company’s U.S. net operating loss carry forwards and carry forwards of other tax attributes are subject to review and possible adjustment by the Internal Revenue Service and state tax authorities. The utilization of the tax attributes have become restricted because of certain cumulative changes in the ownership interest of significant shareholders over a three-year period in excess of 50%, as defined under Section 382 and Section 383 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, as well as similar state tax provisions. This limits the amount of the tax attributes that the Company can utilize annually to offset future taxable income or tax liabilities. The amount of the annual limitation, if any, was determined based on the value of the Company immediately prior to the ownership change. Subsequent ownership changes may further affect the limitation in future years. Please refer to Note 3 - Related Party Transactions regarding the ownership change in the quarter ended September 30, 2020. The Company completed a Section 382 study and determined the ownership change gave rise to the restrictions that will limit the realizability of certain U.S. tax

attributes and built-in losses related to future intangible amortization tax deductions. These limitations apply to the corresponding tax attributes and built-in losses incurred before the ownership change.

The effective tax rate for the sixthree months ended June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 differs from the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21%, primarily because of changes in valuation allowance positions related to the United States and certain foreign jurisdictions and by foreign exchange currency gains and losses offset byand certain non-taxable items. For the three months ending June 30, 2021, the largest change in valuation allowance positions was a tax expense for deferred tax assets that were no longer deemed to be realizable. The tax expense adversely affected the effective tax rate due to the Company’s consolidated pre-tax losses.

The Company's effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 was (0.8)% and (27.6)%4.9%, respectively, compared to the effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020March��31, 2021 of (3.9)% and 13.5%, respectively.18.2%.

AgroFresh core business is providing produce preservation and waste reduction solutions for growers and packers. Its products include SmartFreshTM, HarvistaTM and FreshCloud. Tecnidex is a provider of fungicides, disinfectants and coatings. Its revenues primarily relateFruit Protection (formerly Tecnidex). Due to sales of these products,changes in senior management, as well as equipment,the integration of AgroFresh Fruit Protection with the Company's Core business operational and reporting structure, during the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company determined that it has 1 reportable segment as of December 31, 2021. Since the Company operates in 1 operating segment, all required financial segment information can be found in the EMEA and Latin America region.

Our chief operating decision-makers do not evaluate operating segments using asset or liability information. The following table presents a breakdown of our revenues and gross profit based on reportable segments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.

AgroFresh’s flagship SmartFresh Quality System regulates the post-harvest ripening effects of ethylene, the naturally occurring plant hormone that triggers ripening in certain fruits and vegetables. SmartFresh degrades naturally, and leaves no detectable residue and has been approved for use by many domestic and global regulatory organizations. Harvista extends the Company’s proprietary technology into the field, including treatment of cherries early in the growing season and near-harvest management of apples, pears and blueberries. FreshCloud™ is our digital technology services platform, which continues to expand.

LandSpringTMLandSpring™ is an innovative 1-MCP technology targeted to transplanted vegetable seedlings. It is currently registered for use on tomatoes, peppers and 14 other crops in the US. It reduces transplant shock, resulting in less seedling mortality and faster crop establishment, which leads to a healthier crop and improved yields.
AgroFresh’s business is highly seasonal, driven by the timing of the apple and pear harvests in the northern and southern hemispheres. The first half of the year is when the southern hemisphere harvest occurs, and the second half of the year is when the northern hemisphere harvest occurs. Since the northern hemisphere harvest of apples and pears is typically larger, a significant portion of our sales and profits are historically generated in the second half of the year. In addition to this seasonality, factors such as weather patterns may impact the timing of the harvest within the two halves of the year.

On July 31, 2015 (the “Closing Date”), we consummated a business combination (the “Business Combination”) pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement, dated April 30, 2015 (the “Purchase Agreement”), with Dow, providing for the acquisition by us of the AgroFresh business from Dow. In connection with the closing of the Business Combination, we entered into a tax receivables agreement (the "TRA"), as amended in April 2017, pursuant to which Dow was entitled to receive 50% of the tax savings, if any, that the Company realized as a result of the increase in the tax basis of assets acquired pursuant to the Business Combination. The TRA was terminated in December 2019. Also in connection with the closing of the Business Combination, AgroFresh entered into a transition services agreement with Dow. Under the agreement, Dow provided AgroFresh a suite of services for a period of time ranging from six months to five years depending on the service. While most of the Dow-provided services were complete as of December 31, 2018, certain services continued through 2020.
 
Factors Affecting the Company’s Results of Operations
The Company’s results of operations are affected by a number of external factors. Some of the more important factors are briefly discussed below.

Impact of COVID-19

TheIn March 2020, the COVID-19 outbreak was declared a National Public Health Emergency which continues to spread throughout the world and has adversely impacted global health crisis caused by COVID-19 and the related government actions and stay at home orders have negatively impacted economic activity and increased political instability across the globe.contributed to significant volatility in financial markets. The outbreak could have a continued material adverse impact on economic and market conditions and trigger a period of global economic slowdown. During the sixthree months ended June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, the COVID-19 pandemic did not have a significant adverse impact on our results of operations. However, there were numerous obstacles presented and some localized financial impacts of the pandemic, including fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and customer demand and spending pattern changes. While we arethe Company is following the requirements of governmental authorities and taking additional preventative and protective measures to ensure the safety of ourits workforce, including implementing remote working arrangements and varying procedures for essential workforce, we cannot be 100% certain that there will not be any incidents across our global operations that may cause service interruptions. The rapid development and fluidity of this situation precludes any prediction as to the ultimate material adverse impact of the coronavirus outbreak, although the Company operates in an industry that thus far has not been as severely impacted as others. Nevertheless, the outbreak presents some uncertainty and risk with respect to the Company and its performance and financial results.

Demand for the Company’s Offerings

The Company sells to customers in approximately 50 countries and derives its revenue by assisting growers and packers to optimize the value of their crops primarily in the near and post-harvest period.periods. The Company's products and services add value to customers by reducing food spoilage and extending the life of perishable fruits. The Food and Agriculture Organization of

Table of Contents
the United Nations has estimated that a growing global population will require a near doubling of food production in developing countries by 2050 to meet the expected demand of a worldwide population expected to reach 9 billion people.
 
This global trend, among others, creates demand for the Company’s solutions. The Company’s offerings are currently protected by patent filings in 5145 countries.
 
The global produce market is a function of both the size and the yield of the crop harvested, andharvested; variations in either will affect total production. Given the nature of the agricultural industry, weather patterns may impact total production and the Company's resulting commercial opportunities. The Company supports a diverse customer base whose end markets vary due to the type of fruit and quality of the product demanded in their respective markets. Such variation across end markets also affects demand for the Company’s services.

Customer Pricing
The Company’s service offerings are priced based on the value they provide to the Company’s customers. From time to time, the Company adjusts the pricing of its offerings to address market and volume trends. The Company does not typically price its products in relation to any underlying cost of materials or services; therefore, its margins can fluctuate with changes in these costs. The Company’s pricing may include rebate arrangements with customers in exchange for mutually beneficial long-term relationships and growth.

Integrated Direct Service Model
AgroFresh offers the Company’s commercially available products, including SmartFresh and Harvista, primarily through a direct service model. Sales and sales support personnel maintain face-to-face relationships with customers year round. Technical sales and support personnel work directly with customers to provide value-added advisory services regarding the application of SmartFresh. The actual application of SmartFresh is performed by service providers that are typically third-party contractors. Harvista is applied bythrough both ground and aerial applications,application, which are administered by third-party service providers or made by our customers directly.
 
Most of the Company’s service providers are operating under multi-year contracts. Management believes the quality and experience of its service providers deliver clear commercial benefits.

Seasonality
 
The Company’s operations are subject to seasonal variation due to the timing of the growing seasons around the world. For our core crops of apples and pears, northern hemisphere growers harvest from August through November, and southern hemisphere growers harvest from late January to early May.May, and northern hemisphere growers harvest from August through November. For citrus crops, there are seasonal variations in this business due to the northern hemisphere citrus harvest, which spans from October to March. Since the majority of the Company’s sales are in northern hemisphere countries, a proportionately greater share of its revenue is realized during the second half of the year. There are also variations in the seasonal demands from year to year depending on weather patterns and crop size. This seasonality and variations in seasonal demand could impact the ability to compare results between periods.
 
Foreign Currency Exchange Rates
With a global customer base and geographic footprint, the Company generates revenue and incurs costs in a number of different currencies, with the Euro comprising the most significant non-U.S. currency. Fluctuations in the value of these currencies relative to the U.S. dollar can increase or decrease the Company’s overall revenue and profitability as stated in U.S. dollars, which is the Company’s reporting currency. In certain instances, if sales in a given geography have been adversely impacted on a long-term basis due to foreign currency depreciation, the Company has been able to adjust its pricing so as to mitigate the impact on profitability.

Domestic and Foreign Operations
The Company has both domestic and foreign operations. Fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, regional growth-related spending in R&D and marketing expenses, and changes in local selling prices, among other factors, may impact the profitability of foreign operations in the future.

Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates
Critical accounting policies are those accounting policies that can have a significant impact on the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations and that require the use of complex and subjective estimates based upon management’s

judgment. Because of the uncertainty inherent in such estimates, actual results may differ materially from these estimates. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates previously disclosed in the 20202021 Form 10-K. For a description of our critical accounting policies and estimates as well as a listing of our significant accounting policies, see “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates” and “Note 2 - Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the 20202021 Form 10-K.
An accounting policy is deemed to be critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made, and if different estimates that reasonably could have been used, or changes in the accounting estimates that are reasonably likely to occur periodically, could materially impact the financial statements. Management believes these critical accounting policies reflect its most significant estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the financial statements.

Loans under the Amended Revolving Loan bear interest at a rate equal to, at the Company’s option, the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate for the interest period in effect for such borrowing plus the Applicable Rate ranging from 6.25% to 6.0% per annum, based on certain ratios. The interest rate was 7.25% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.March 31, 2022. The Company is also required to pay a commitment fee on the unused portion of the Amended Revolving Loan at a rate ranging from 0.5% to 0.375%, based on certain ratios. The Company is required to make mandatory prepayments of outstanding indebtedness under the Amended Credit Agreement under certain circumstances. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, a prepayment of principal of $9.1 million was made.

The obligations of AgroFresh Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and the borrower under the Amended Credit Facility, are initially guaranteed by the Company and the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, AF Solutions Holdings LLC (together with AgroFresh Inc. and the Company, the “Loan Parties”) and may in the future be guaranteed by certain other

domestic subsidiaries of the Company. The obligations of the Loan Parties under the Amended Credit Agreement and other loan documents are secured, subject to customary permitted liens and other agreed upon exceptions, by a perfected security interest in all tangible and intangible assets of the Loan Parties, except for certain excluded assets, and equity interests of certain foreign subsidiaries of the Loan Parties held by the Loan Parties (subject to certain exclusions and limitations).

The Refinancing was deemed a partial extinguishment of the Term Loan (as defined below) under ASC Topic No. 470-50, “Debt – Modifications and Extinguishments” (Topic No. 470), whereby $107.1 million of the $403.8 million outstanding at the time of the Refinancing was deemed an extinguishment and $296.7 million was deemed a modification of debt. As such, unamortized deferred issuance costs of $0.7 million related to the extinguishment were written off in debt modification and extinguishment expenses and the remaining $1.9 million was deferred and amortized over the term of the Amended Term Loan.

In connection with the Amended Term Loan, third-party expenses of $4.4 million related to existing lenders were recognized in debt modification and extinguishment expenses. Expenses to new lenders of $1.1 million were deferred and amortized over the term of the Amended Term Loan along with $6.4 million of lender fees and issue discounts.

In total, the Company deferred debt issuance costs of $7.5 million related to the Amended Term Loan, $1.9 million related to the modification of the Term Loan and $0.5 million related to the Amended Revolving Loan. The debt issuance costs associated with the Amended Term Loan were capitalized against the principal balance of the debt, and the Amended Revolving Loan costs were capitalized in Other Assets. All issuance costs will be accreted through interest expense using the effective interest method for the duration of each respective debt facility. The interest expense related to the amortization of the Amended Credit Facility debt issuance costs during each of the three and six months ended June 30,March 31, 2022 and 2021 was $0.5 million and $0.9 million. As of June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 there were $7.4$6.0 million of unamortized deferred issuance costs.

At June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, there was $263.9$261.8 million outstanding under the Amended Term Loan and no balance outstanding under the Amended Revolving Loan. Due to the prepayment, an additional $0.3 million of deferred financing costs were expensed based on the portion of debt paid. At June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, the Company evaluated the amount recorded under the Amended Term Loan and determined that the fair value was approximately $264.9$260.5 million. The fair value of the debt is based on quoted inactive market prices and is therefore classified as Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy.

Certain restrictive covenants are contained in the Amended Credit Agreement, and the Company was in compliance with these covenants as of June 30, 2021.March 31, 2022.

Prior Credit Facility

On July 31, 2015, in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination by and between the Company and Dow, AgroFresh Inc. as the borrower and AF Solutions Holdings LLC as the guarantor, entered into a Credit Agreement with Bank of Montreal, as administrative agent (as subsequently amended prior to the Refinancing, the “Prior Credit Facility”). The Prior Credit Facility consisted of a $425.0 million term loan (the “Term Loan”), with an amortization equal to 1.00% per year, and a revolving loan facility (the “Revolving Loan”). The net proceeds of the Term Loan were used to fund a portion of the purchase price payable to Dow in connection with the Business Combination.

The Revolving Loan included a $10.0 million letter-of-credit sub-facility, issuances against which reduced the available capacity for borrowing. The Term Loan had a scheduled maturity date of July 31, 2021. As discussed above, the Prior Credit Facility was refinanced on July 27, 2020, and there were no amounts outstanding as of June 30, 2021. The interest rates on borrowings under the Prior Credit Facility were either the alternate base rate plus 3.75% or LIBOR plus 4.75% per annum, with a 1.00% LIBOR floor (with step-downs in respect of borrowings under the Revolving Loan dependent upon the achievement of certain financial ratios).

As of the Closing Date, the Company incurred approximately $12.9 million in debt issuance costs related to the Term Loan and $1.3 million in costs related to the Revolving Loan. The debt issuance costs associated with the Term Loan were capitalized against the principal balance of the debt, and the Revolving Loan costs were capitalized in Other Assets. The interest expense related to the amortization of the Term Loan debt issuance costs during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, was approximately $0.6 million and $1.2 million, respectively.

("PSP"), an affiliate of Paine Schwartz Partners, LLC, (“PSP”), pursuant to which, subject to certain closing conditions, the InvestorPSP agreed to purchase in a private placement an aggregate of $150,000,000 of convertible preferred equity of the Company. The transaction closed on July 27, 2020 (the "Closing Date") and a total of 150,000 shares of the Company’s newly-designated Series B-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series B-1 Preferred Stock”) were purchased in such transaction (the “Private Placement”). On September 22, 2020, following the approval of the transactions contemplated by the Investment Agreement by the necessary regulatory body, the Company issued to the Investor,PSP, for no additional consideration, a total of 150,000 shares of the Company’s newly-designated Series B-2 Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series B-2 Preferred Stock”).

The applicable dividend rate is subject to increase by 2% per annum during any period that the Company is in breach of certain provisions of the applicable Certificate of Designation of the Series B Preferred Stock. The Series B Preferred Stock has been classified as temporary equity as it may be contingently redeemable in the event of a change of control, which is outside of the Company's control.

As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures within the meaning of Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. The Company's disclosure controls are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act, such as this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. The Company's disclosure controls are also designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our Disclosure Controls, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily applied its judgment in evaluating and implementing possible controls and procedures.

As of June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, our management, with the participation of our CEO and CFO, has conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2021, due to material weaknesses in the Company's internal control over financial reporting as disclosed below.March 31, 2022.

Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of published financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Our internal control over financial reporting include those policies and procedures that:

pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of the Company’s management and directors; and
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2021.March 31, 2022. In making this assessment, management used the criteria in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on our assessment using those criteria, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 was not effective.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that a reasonable possibility exists that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

During 2020, the Company identified material weaknesses related to the design and operation of controls over significant nonrecurring transactions and the preparation and review of our income tax provision. Our controls over significant nonrecurring transactions were not sufficient to consider all accounting and disclosure ramifications nor the ongoing accounting requirements of such transactions. Our controls over the review of the income tax provision relied upon insufficient reviews over underlying information used in the preparation of the tax provision. These material weaknesses resulted in immaterial misstatements in our 2019 financial statements related to the accounting for redeemable non-controlling interest and the computation of the consolidated (benefit) provision for income taxes, which were corrected prior to issuance of the Company’s 2020 financial statements. Furthermore, a reasonable possibility exists that material misstatements in the Company’s 2020 financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Table of Contents

Because of its inherent limitations, internal controls over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Plan to Remediate Material Weaknesses

The Company is currently in the process of remediating the material weaknesses and has taken and continues to take steps that address the underlying causes of the material weaknesses including improving the sufficiency of review of the information underlying the income tax provision and enhancing the review steps associated with significant and nonrecurring transactions. The Company has also implemented quarterly evaluations of the accounting implications of current and prior period significant and nonrecurring transactions that affect the Company's consolidated financial statements. The Company has instituted enhanced controls including review processes and reconciliations related to the tax provision. The Company intends to remediate these deficiencies as soon as possible and believes these actions will be sufficient to remediate the identified material weaknesses and strengthen the Company's internal control over financial reporting; however, there can be no guarantee that such remediation will be sufficient. The Company will continue to monitor the effectiveness of its controls and will make any further changes management determines appropriate.

Changes in Internal Controls

There were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company's most recent fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2022 that havehas materially affected, or areis reasonably likely to materially affect the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

PART II- OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time we are named as a defendant in legal actions arising from our normal business activities. Although we cannot predict with certainty the ultimate resolution of lawsuits, investigations and claims asserted against us, we do not believe any currently pending legal proceeding to which we are a party will have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Ownership of our securities involves a high degree of risk. Holders of our securities should carefully consider, in addition to the historical financial statements and related notes and other information set forth in this Report, the risk factors discussed in Part I - Item 1A - Risk Factors included in our 20202021 Form 10-K, all of which could materially affect our business or future results. Other than the amended and restated risk factors and the additional risk factors set forth below, weWe are not currently aware of any material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our 20202021 Form 10-K. If any of the risks or uncertainties described in any of such risk factors actually occur, our business, financial condition and operating results could be adversely affected in a material way. This could cause the trading prices of our securities to decline, perhaps significantly, and you may lose part or all of your investment.

The Investor and The Dow Chemical Company (“Dow”) have significant influence over us, which could limit your ability to influence the outcome of key transactions, including a change of control.

As of June 30, 2021, the Investor owned 145,046 shares of our Series B preferred stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”), which is currently convertible into approximately 31.2 million shares of our outstanding common stock representing approximately 37% of our outstanding common stock on an as-converted basis (and which votes with our common stock on an as-converted basis), and Dow owned approximately 21.0 million shares of our outstanding common stock. In addition, we will pay dividends-in-kind on the Series B Preferred Stock. Because of the degree of concentration of voting power (and the potential for such power to increase upon the purchase of additional stock and/or the payment of dividends-in-kind), your ability to elect members of our board of directors and influence our business and affairs, including any determinations with respect to mergers or other business combinations, the acquisition or disposition of assets, the incurrence of indebtedness, the issuance of any additional common stock or other equity securities, the repurchase or redemption of common stock and the payment of dividends, may be diminished.

In addition, the Investor and Dow have representation on the Company’s board of directors and have significant control over the management and affairs of the Company. The Investor currently has three designees on the board of directors and has the right to appoint one additional director to the board, and may have the right to appoint one or more additional directors in the future under certain circumstances. The Investor also has class approval rights over certain specified actions that would affect the holders of the Preferred Stock, and has the right to approve certain corporate actions for so long as it continues to hold at least 10% of the shares of common stock outstanding (on an as-converted basis).

If we do not successfully manage the transition associated with the appointment of a new chief executive officer, our business may be harmed.

On April 12, 2021, we announced the hiring of a new chief executive officer. Any changes in our business strategy that may result from hiring our new chief executive officer may have a disruptive impact on our ability to implement our business strategy and could have a material adverse effect on our business. Any changes in business strategies can create uncertainty, may negatively impact our ability to execute our business strategy quickly and effectively and may ultimately be unsuccessful. In addition, management transition periods can be difficult as the new management gains detailed knowledge of our operations, and friction or further management changes or disruptions could result from changes in strategy and management style. Until we integrate our new chief executive officer, we may be unable to successfully manage our business and growth objectives, and our business could suffer as a result.
