(1)
The principal balance of the Secured Notes will be reduced to $85.0 million, which will be increased by the amount of the Interim Financing, as set forth above, which has a first lien, senior secured position over all of the Company’s assets, is
non-convertible
and
non-callable
for three years and includes payment in kind at an interest rate of 8% per year and a maturity date which will be five years after the consummation of the Recapitalization Transaction (the “Restructured Senior Debt”).
(2)
The Secured Lenders provided $14.7 million of interim financing (“Interim Financing”) to ICM, on substantially the same terms as the Restructured Senior Debt, net of a 5% original issue discount. The amounts of the Interim Financing along with any accrued interest thereon is expected to be converted into, and the original principal balance will be added to, the Restructured Senior Debt upon consummation of the Recapitalization Transaction.
 
(3)
The 8% Senior Unsecured Debentures include payment in kind at an interest rate of 8% per year, a maturity date which will be five years after the consummation of the Recapitalization Transaction, are
non-callable
for three years and are subordinate to the Restructured Senior Debt but senior to the Company’s common shares.
(4)
Following consummation of the Recapitalization Transaction, a
to-be-determined
amount of equity will be made available for management, employee and director incentives, as determined by the New Board (as defined below). All of the Company’s existing warrants and options will be cancelled and the Company’s common shares may be consolidated pursuant to a consolidation ratio which has yet to be determined.
Upon consummation of the Recapitalization Transaction, a new board of directors (the “New Board”) will be composed of the following members: (i) three nominees will be designated by the Secured Lenders; (ii) three nominees will be designated by the majority of the Unsecured Lenders (“Consenting Unsecured Lenders”); and (iii) one nominee will be designated by the director nominees of the Secured Lenders and Consenting Unsecured Lenders to serve as a member of the Company’s New Board.
Pursuant to the terms of the proposed Recapitalization Transaction, the Collateral Agent, the Secured Lenders and the Consenting Unsecured Lenders agreed to forbear from further exercising any rights or remedies in connection with any events of default that now exist or may in the future arise under any of the purchase agreements with respect of the Secured Notes and all other agreements delivered in connection therewith, the purchase agreements with respect of the Unsecured Convertible Debentures and all other agreements delivered in connection therewith and any other agreement to which the Collateral Agent, Secured Lenders, or Consenting Unsecured Lenders are a party to (collectively, the “Defaults”) and shall take such steps as are necessary to stop any current or pending enforcement efforts in relation thereto. Upon consummation of the Recapitalization Transaction, the Collateral Agent, Secured Lenders and Consenting Unsecured Lenders are also expected to irrevocably waive all Defaults and take all steps required to withdraw, revoke and/or terminate any enforcement efforts in relation thereto.
Completion of the Recapitalization Transaction will be subject to receipt of the Requisite Approvals. If the Requisite Approvals are obtained, the Plan of Arrangement will bind all Secured Lenders, Unsecured Debentureholders and Existing Shareholders. The Plan of Arrangement was approved by the Supreme Court of British Columbia on October 5, 2020. On January 29, 2021, a notice of appeal with respect to the final approval for the Plan of Arrangement received by the Company on November 5, 2020 was dismissed by the British Columbia Court of Appeal. The Company is in progress of obtaining the remaining Requisite Approvals.
