| Long-term Debt | Long-term Debt Non-recourse debt
We have outstanding the following asset-backed non-recourse debt and bank loans:
(1)The Company repurchased this note in 2021.
(2)In 2021, contractual terms were modified resulting in the deconsolidation of both this debt and the related pledged assets. We recognized a loss of approximately $3 million, which is included in gain on sale of receivables and investments in our income statement.
(3)Other non-recourse debt consists of various debt agreements used to finance certain of our receivables. Scheduled debt service payment requirements are equal to or less than the cash flows received from the underlying receivables.
(4)The total collateral pledged against our non-recourse debt was $573 million and $723 million as of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. In addition, $24 million and $23 million of our restricted cash balance was pledged as collateral to various non-recourse loans as of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.
We have pledged the financed assets, and typically our interests in one or more parents or subsidiaries of the borrower that are legally separate bankruptcy remote special purpose entities as security for the non-recourse debt. There is no recourse for repayment of these obligations other than to the applicable borrower and any collateral pledged as security for the obligations. Generally, the assets and credit of these entities are not available to satisfy any of our other debts and obligations. The creditors can only look to the borrower, the cash flows of the pledged assets and any other collateral pledged, to satisfy the debt and we are not otherwise liable for nonpayment of such cash flows. The debt agreements contain terms, conditions, covenants, and representations and warranties that are customary and typical for transactions of this nature, including limitations on the incurrence of liens and indebtedness, investments, fundamental organizational changes, dispositions, changes in the nature of business, transactions with affiliates, use of proceeds and stock repurchases. The agreements also include customary events of default, the occurrence of which may result in termination of the agreements, acceleration of amounts due, and accrual of default interest. We typically act as servicer for the debt transactions. We were in compliance with all covenants as of December 31, 2021 and 2020.
We have guaranteed the accuracy of certain of the representations and warranties and other obligations of certain of our subsidiaries under certain of the debt agreements and provided an indemnity against certain losses from “bad acts” of such subsidiaries including fraud, failure to disclose a material fact, theft, misappropriation, voluntary bankruptcy or unauthorized transfers.
The stated minimum maturities of non-recourse debt as of December 31, 2021, were as follows:
The stated minimum maturities of non-recourse debt above include only the mandatory minimum principal payments. To the extent there are additional cash flows received from our investments in climate solutions projects serving as collateral for certain of our non-recourse debt facilities, these additional cash flows may be required to be used to make additional principal payments against the respective debt. Any additional principal payments made due to these provisions may impact the anticipated balance at maturity of these financings. To the extent there are not sufficient cash flows received from those investments pledged as collateral, the investor has no recourse against other corporate assets to recover any shortfalls.
Senior Unsecured Notes
We have outstanding senior unsecured notes issued jointly by certain of our TRS and are guaranteed by the Company and certain other subsidiaries (the “Senior Unsecured Notes”), including $1 billion of senior notes due 2026 (“2026 Notes”) issued in June 2021. Proceeds from the 2026 Notes were used to redeem the 2024 Notes as described below. The Senior Unsecured Notes are subject to covenants that limit our ability to incur additional indebtedness and require us to maintain unencumbered assets of not less than 120% of our unsecured debt. These covenants will terminate on any date at which the Senior Unsecured Notes have been rated investment grade by two of the three major credit rating agencies and no event of default has occurred. We are in compliance with all of our covenants as of December 31, 2021 and 2020. The Senior Unsecured Notes impose certain requirements in the event that we merge with or sell substantially all of our assets to another entity. The proceeds of our Senior Unsecured Notes are used to acquire or refinance, in whole or in part, eligible green projects, including assets that are neutral to negative on incremental carbon emissions.
The following are summarized terms of the Senior Unsecured Notes:
(1)The first $350 million issuance of 2024 Notes was priced at par. We subsequently issued $150 million of the $500 million aggregate principal amount of the 2024 Notes for total proceeds of $157 million ($155 million net of issuance costs) at an effective interest rate of 4.13%. The 2024 Notes were redeemed in June 2021 using a portion of the proceeds from the 2026 Notes. We recognized a loss of $15 million upon redemption for the redemption premium and the acceleration of debt issuance cost and premium amortization which is recorded in interest expense in our income statement.
(2)Prior to this date, we may redeem, at our option, some or all of the 2025 Notes or 2026 Notes for the outstanding principal amount plus the applicable “make-whole” premium as defined in the indenture governing the 2025 Notes or 2026 Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest through the redemption date. In addition, prior to this date, we may redeem up to 40% of the Senior Unsecured Notes using the proceeds of certain equity offerings at a price equal to par plus the coupon percentage of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued but unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date. On, or subsequent to, this date we may redeem the 2025 or 2026 Notes in whole or in part at redemption prices defined in the indenture governing the 2025 Notes or 2026 Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest though the redemption date.
(3)We issued the $375 million aggregate principal amount of the 2030 Notes for total proceeds of $371 million ($367 million net of issuance costs) at an effective interest rate of 3.87%.
(4)Prior to this date, we may, at our option on one or more occasions redeem up to 40% of the 2030 Notes using the proceeds of certain equity offerings at a price equal to 103.75% of the principal amount thereof; plus accrued but unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding the applicable redemption date. At any point prior to maturity, we may redeem, at our option, some or all of the 2030 Notes plus the applicable “make-whole” premium as defined in the indenture governing the 2030 Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest through the redemption date.
The following table presents a summary of the components of the Senior Unsecured Notes:
Convertible Senior Notes
We have outstanding $152 million aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes (“Convertible Senior Notes”), including $144 million of principal amount convertible senior notes due August 15, 2023 issued in August 2020 at a stated interest rate of 0%. Holders may convert any of their convertible notes into shares of our common stock at the applicable conversion ratio at any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, unless the Convertible Senior Notes have been previously redeemed or repurchased by us.
The following are summarized terms of the Convertible Senior Notes as of December 31, 2021:
(1)The conversion ratio is subject to adjustment for dividends declared above these amounts per share per quarter and certain other events that may be dilutive to the holder.
(2)During the year ended December 31, 2021, $142 million in principal amount of 2022 Convertible Senior Notes were converted into 5.2 million shares of common stock.
For both the 2022 Convertible Senior Notes and the 2023 Convertible Senior Notes, following the occurrence of a make-whole fundamental change, we will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate for a holder that converts its convertible notes in connection with such make-whole fundamental change. There are no cash settlement provisions in the convertible notes and the conversion option can only be settled through physical delivery of our common stock. Additionally, upon the occurrence of certain fundamental changes involving us, holders of the convertible notes may require us to redeem all or a portion of their convertible notes for cash at a price of 100% of the principal amount outstanding, plus accrued and unpaid interest.
We have a redemption option to call the 2022 Convertible Senior Notes prior to maturity (i) on or after March 1, 2022 and (ii) at any time if such a redemption is deemed reasonably necessary to preserve our qualification as a REIT, with the holder of the notes having the option of converting prior to our redemption becoming effective. The redemption price will be equal to the principal of the notes being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest. In the event of redemption after March 1, 2022, there will be an additional make-whole premium paid to the holder of the redeemed notes unless the redemption is deemed reasonably necessary to preserve our qualification as a REIT. We may redeem the 2023 Convertible Senior Notes at any time only if such a redemption is deemed reasonably necessary to preserve our qualification as a REIT.
