Subordination; Ranking:
|
The Notes will be obligations of Atlas Financial Holdings, Inc., and will rank senior in right of payment to any of Atlas’ existing and future indebtedness that is by its terms expressly subordinated or junior in right of payment of the Notes. The Notes will rank equally in right of payment to all of Atlas’ existing and future senior indebtedness, but will be effectively subordinated to any secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such secured indebtedness. In addition, the Notes will be structurally subordinated to the indebtedness and other obligations of Atlas’ subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2016, Atlas had $19.4 million in outstanding debt drawn from its secured line of credit. | |
Events of Default; remedies: | The Notes will contain events of default, the occurrence of which may result in the acceleration of Atlas’ obligations under the notes in certain circumstances. | |
Certain Covenants: | The Notes will be issued under an indenture and supplemental indenture (collectively, the “Indenture”) to be dated as of the issuance date between Atlas and the Trustee. The Indenture contains covenants that, among other things, limit: (i) the ability of Atlas to merge or consolidate, or lease, sell, assign or transfer all or substantially all of its assets; (ii) the ability of Atlas to sell or otherwise dispose of the equity securities of certain of its subsidiaries; (iii) the ability of certain of Atlas’ subsidiaries to issue equity securities; (iv) the ability of Atlas to permit certain of its subsidiaries to merge or consolidate, or lease, sell, assign or transfer all or substantially all of their respective assets; and (v) the ability of Atlas and its subsidiaries to incur debt secured by equity securities of certain of its subsidiaries. | |
Listing: | Atlas has applied to list the notes on the Nasdaq Global Market. If the listing is approved, trading of the Notes on the Nasdaq Global Market is expected to commence within 30 days after the initial delivery of the Notes. Currently, there is no public market for the Notes. | |
Further Issuances: | Atlas may, from time to time, without notice to or consent of the holders, increase the aggregate principal amount of the Notes outstanding by issuing additional Notes in the future with the same terms as the Notes, except for the issue date and offering price, |
and such additional Notes shall be consolidated with the Notes issued in this offering and form a single series. | ||
Trustee: | Wilmington Trust, National Association | |
