| Debt | Note 4 — Debt Debt, net of debt premium (discount) consists of the following: June 30, December 31, 2020 2019 (in thousands) Revolving Credit Facility $ 50,000 $ — First Lien Notes 748,154 747,910 Second Lien PIK Notes 344,277 325,824 Total long-term debt $ 1,142,431 $ 1,073,734 First Lien Notes On September 26, 2018, Pacific Drilling First Lien Escrow Issuer Limited (the “First Lien Escrow Issuer”), a private company limited by shares incorporated in the British Virgin Islands and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an indenture (the “First Lien Notes Indenture”) with Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”) and collateral agent, relating to the issuance by the First Lien Escrow Issuer of the First Lien Notes. Upon the Company’s emergence from its Chapter 11 proceedings on November 19, 2018, the First Lien Escrow Issuer merged into the Company and the Company assumed all obligations of the First Lien Escrow Issuer under the First Lien Notes Indenture. The First Lien Notes accrue interest at a rate of 8.375% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year beginning on April 1, 2019. The First Lien Notes will mature on October 1, 2023, unless earlier redeemed or repurchased. The First Lien Notes are jointly and severally and fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior secured basis by all of the Company’s subsidiaries other than the Zonda Debtors, certain immaterial subsidiaries and PIDWAL. If the Zonda Debtors are successful in their appeal of the Tribunal’s award, they will guarantee and provide collateral for the First Lien Notes, Second Lien PIK Notes and the Revolving Credit Facility upon their emergence from bankruptcy pursuant to the terms of the Zonda Plan and agreements governing such debt. If the Zonda Debtors are unsuccessful in the appeal, the Company expects that the Zonda Debtors will be liquidated in accordance with the terms of the Zonda Plan and the Zonda Debtors would not provide collateral for or guarantee the First Lien Notes, Second Lien PIK Notes or the Revolving Credit Facility. See Note 11 for further discussion. The First Lien Notes are secured by first-priority liens on substantially all assets of the Company and the guarantors (other than certain excluded property), including (i) vessels, (ii) books and records, (iii) certain deposit accounts and the amounts contained therein, (iv) assignments of proceeds of hull and machinery and loss of hire insurance, (v) assignments of earnings from drilling contracts, and (vi) equity interests owned by the Company and the guarantors, in each case, subject to certain exceptions, including that such first-priority liens will be subject to payment priority in favor of lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility. The First Lien Notes Indenture contains covenants limiting the ability of the Company, and any subsidiary to, among other things, (i) incur or guarantee additional indebtedness and issue preferred stock, (ii) pay dividends on or redeem or repurchase capital stock, make certain investments, make certain payments on or with respect to subordinated and junior debt (including making cash interest or principal payments on the Second Lien PIK Notes (as defined below)), (iii) create or incur certain liens, (iv) impose restrictions on the ability of restricted subsidiaries to pay dividends, (v) merge or consolidate with other entities, (vi) enter into certain transactions with affiliates, (vii) impair the security interests in the collateral for the First Lien Notes, and (viii) engage in certain lines of business. These covenants are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications and certain of them will be suspended with respect to the First Lien Notes in the event that the First Lien Notes obtain an investment grade rating. The Company may be required to offer to purchase the First Lien Notes at 101.0% percent of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, upon the occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined in the First Lien Notes Indenture), and at 100.0% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, under certain other circumstances. In addition, the Company will be required to offer to purchase First Lien Notes at 100.0% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, with any cash proceeds from a settlement or award in connection with the arbitration relating to the Pacific Zonda At any time prior to October 1, 2020, (i) the Company may redeem the First Lien Notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100.0% of the principal amount thereof, plus a “make-whole” premium, (ii) the Company may redeem up to 35.0% of the original principal amount of the First Lien Notes with proceeds from certain equity offerings at a redemption price equal to 108.375% of the principal amount thereof, and (iii) not more than once in any twelve-month period, the Company may redeem up to 10.0% of the original principal amount of the First Lien Notes at a redemption price equal to 103.0% of the principal amount thereof, in each case plus accrued and unpaid interest. At any time on or after October 1, 2020, the Company may redeem the First Lien Notes, in whole or in part, at the following redemption prices (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount), plus accrued and unpaid interest, during the twelve-month period beginning on October 1 of the years indicated: 2020 – 104.188%; 2021 – 102.094%; 2022 and thereafter – 100.0%. The First Lien Notes Indenture contains customary events of default, including, among other things, (i) failure to make required payments; (ii) failure to comply with certain agreements or covenants; (iii) failure to pay certain other indebtedness; (iv) certain events of bankruptcy and insolvency; and (v) failure to pay certain judgments. An event of default under the First Lien Notes Indenture will allow either the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then-outstanding First Lien Notes to accelerate, or in certain cases will automatically cause the acceleration of, the amounts due under the First Lien Notes. Intercreditor Agreement The relationship between holders of First Lien Notes and lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility (and any future first lien debt), on the one hand, and Second Lien PIK Notes (and any future junior lien debt), on the other hand, is governed by an intercreditor agreement. Pursuant to the intercreditor agreement, the liens securing first lien debt are effectively senior in priority to the liens securing junior lien debt. The relationship between lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility and the holders of the First Lien Notes is governed (and any future first lien debt would be governed) by a collateral agency agreement. Such agreement allows for payment priority in favor of lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility. Second Lien PIK Notes On September 26, 2018, Pacific Drilling Second Lien Escrow Issuer Limited (the “Second Lien Escrow Issuer”), a private company limited by shares incorporated in the British Virgin Islands and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an indenture (the “Second Lien PIK Notes Indenture”) with the Trustee, as trustee and junior lien collateral agent, relating to the issuance by the Second Lien Escrow Issuer of approximately $273.6 million aggregate principal amount of Second Lien PIK Notes. Approximately $23.6 million aggregate principal amount was issued as a commitment fee to an ad hoc group of holders of our pre-petition notes in exchange for their agreement to backstop the issuance of the Second Lien PIK Notes. Upon the Company’s emergence from its Chapter 11 proceedings on November 19, 2018, the Second Lien Escrow Issuer merged into the Company and the Company assumed all obligations of the Second Lien Escrow Issuer under the Second Lien PIK Notes Indenture. For each interest period, interest is payable, at the option of the Company, (i) entirely in cash (“Cash Interest”), (ii) entirely through the issuance of additional Second Lien PIK Notes having the same terms and conditions as the Second Lien PIK Notes issued in the initial Second Lien PIK Notes offering in a principal amount equal to the amount of interest then due and payable or by increasing the then outstanding aggregate principal amount of Second Lien PIK Notes (“PIK Interest”) or (iii) 50% as Cash Interest and 50% as PIK Interest. If the Company elects to pay interest for an interest period entirely in the form of Cash Interest, interest will accrue at a rate of 11.0% per annum for such interest period. If the Company elects to pay interest for an interest period entirely in the form of PIK Interest, interest will accrue at a rate of 12.0% per annum for such interest period. If the Company elects to pay 50% in Cash Interest and 50% in PIK Interest for an interest period, (i) interest in respect of the Cash Interest portion will accrue at 11.0% and (ii) interest in respect of the PIK Interest portion will accrue at 12.0% for such interest period. Interest on the Second Lien PIK Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year beginning on April 1, 2019. The Second Lien PIK Notes will mature on April 1, 2024, unless earlier redeemed or repurchased. As of June 30, 2020, the Company has made the following payments in the form of PIK Interest: Payment Date PIK Interest (in thousands) April 1, 2019 $ 16,873 October 1, 2019 17,429 April 1, 2020 18,475 The Second Lien PIK Notes are jointly and severally and fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior secured basis by all of the Company’s subsidiaries that guarantee the Company’s First Lien Notes and are secured by second-priority liens on all of the assets of the Company and the guarantors that also serve as collateral for the Company’s First Lien Notes. The Second Lien PIK Notes Indenture contains covenants limiting the ability of the Company, and any subsidiary to, among other things, (i) incur or guarantee additional indebtedness and issue preferred stock, (ii) pay dividends on or redeem or repurchase capital stock, make certain investments, make certain payments on or with respect to subordinated and junior debt, (iii) create or incur certain liens, (iv) impose restrictions on the ability of restricted subsidiaries to pay dividends, (v) merge or consolidate with other entities, (vi) enter into certain transactions with affiliates, (vii) impair the security interests in the collateral for the Second Lien PIK Notes, and (viii) engage in certain lines of business. These covenants are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications and certain of them will be suspended with respect to the Second Lien PIK Notes in the event that the Second Lien PIK Notes obtain an investment grade rating. The Company may be required to offer to purchase the Second Lien PIK Notes at 101.0% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, upon the occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined in the Second Lien PIK Notes Indenture) (a “Change of Control Offer”), and at 100.0% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, under certain other circumstances. In addition, the Company will be required to offer to purchase Second Lien PIK Notes at 100.0% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, with the cash proceeds, if any, from a settlement or award in connection with the arbitration with SHI related to the Pacific Zonda At any time on or after April 1, 2020, the Company may redeem the Second Lien PIK Notes, in whole or in part, at the following redemption prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount), plus any accrued and unpaid interest, during the six-month period beginning on the dates indicated below: Date Price April 1, 2020 112.0% October 1, 2020 109.0% April 1, 2021 106.0% October 1, 2021 103.0% April 1, 2022 and thereafter 100.0% At any time after a Change of Control occurs, the Company may redeem all, but not less than all, of the Second Lien PIK Notes at the following redemption prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount), plus any accrued and unpaid interest, during the six-month period beginning on the dates indicated below: Date Price April 1, 2020 106.0% October 1, 2020 109.0% April 1, 2021 106.0% October 1, 2021 103.0% April 1, 2022 and thereafter 100.0% If the Company exercises this Change of Control redemption right, it may elect not to make the Change of Control Offer described above. The Second Lien PIK Notes Indenture contains customary events of default, including, among other things, (i) failure to make required payments; (ii) failure to comply with certain agreements or covenants; (iii) failure to pay certain other indebtedness; (iv) certain events of bankruptcy and insolvency; and (v) failure to pay certain judgments. An event of default under the Second Lien PIK Notes Indenture will allow either the Trustee or the holders of at least 25.0% in aggregate principal amount of the then-outstanding Second Lien PIK Notes to accelerate, or in certain cases, will automatically cause the acceleration of, the amounts due under the Second Lien PIK Notes. Revolving Credit Facility On February 7, 2020, the Company, as borrower, Angelo, Gordon Energy Servicer, LLC (“Angelo Gordon”), as administrative agent and the lenders party thereto, entered into a revolving credit agreement that provides a $50.0 million first lien superpriority revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). As of June 30, 2020, the full available amount of $50.0 million was drawn on the facility. All borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility were incurred at the Company level. The Revolving Credit Facility will mature on April 1, 2023. New borrowings may be limited if, at the time of such borrowing, the ratio of (i) the sum of (a) eligible accounts receivable and (b) unrestricted cash to (ii) total commitments is less than 1.3 to 1 or if the effective availability period has not been extended beyond August 7, 2021 pursuant to a scheduled redetermination by the administrative agent. The Company’s obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility are guaranteed by all of the subsidiaries that guaranty the Company’s First Lien Notes and Second Lien PIK Notes. The Revolving Credit Facility is secured by a sole first-priority lien on the Company’s and the guarantors’ accounts receivable and a shared first-priority lien (with holders of the First Lien Notes), on all assets serving as collateral under such First Lien Notes, with a superpriority right to repayment ahead of other first lien holders in an enforcement action. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility are used to finance working capital and capital expenditure needs of the Company and its subsidiaries. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a LIBO rate determined by reference to the then effective three-month LIBO rate, with a 1.5% floor, adjusted for statutory reserve requirements, plus an applicable percentage of 7.5 %, payable quarterly. The Company pays a quarterly commitment fee at a 1.5% annual rate for unused commitments. The Company may voluntarily prepay amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty (except as described below) in minimum amounts of $5.0 million. The Company will be required to pay a “prepayment premium” in connection with prepayments resulting in commitment reductions or commitment termination and termination of the Revolving Credit Facility equal to a percentage of the principal amount of such commitments reduced or terminated (the “Yield Maintenance Amount”): ● ● The Company will be required to prepay amounts borrowed under the Revolving Credit Facility with any net proceeds from asset sales or insurance proceeds, and permanently reduce commitments in a corresponding amount, in the event the Vessel Fleet Value is less than $500.0 million. The “Vessel Fleet Value” means, at any time of determination, the lesser of (a) the net book value of the vessels described as Collateral Vessels under the Revolving Credit Facility at such time or (b) the fair market value of the vessels described as Collateral Vessels under the Revolving Credit Facility pursuant to the most recent appraisal (using the lowest value in the range if a range is provided in such appraisal). The Revolving Credit Facility contains covenants substantially similar to those set forth in the indenture governing the First Lien Notes except that certain provisions related to (i) the ability to make restricted payments and permitted investments, (ii) the permitted application of net proceeds from asset sales and (iii) the ability to incur additional indebtedness are subject to additional restrictions if the Vessel Fleet Value is less than $500.0 million. In addition, the Revolving Credit Facility contains customary events of default, including among other things, (i) failure to make required payments; (ii) failure to comply with certain agreements or covenants; (iii) failure to pay certain other indebtedness; (iv) the occurrence of a Change of Control; (v) certain events of bankruptcy and insolvency; and (vi) failure to pay certain judgments. Upon an event of default, the lenders party to the Revolving Credit Facility are entitled, subject to certain limitations, to declare any obligations of the Company or its subsidiaries to the lenders immediately due and payable and to take all actions permitted to be taken by a secured creditor. |
