In October 2025, our Celgar mill and Peace River mill entered into a C$20.0 million revolving credit facility that matures in August 2027. This facility is available through letters of credit denominated in Canadian dollars and dollars and is guaranteed by Export Development Canada until August 2026.
For a description of such indebtedness, see Item 1. “Business – Description of Certain Indebtedness”.
Certain of our long-term obligations contain various financial tests and covenants customary to these types of arrangements.
Under the German Revolving Facility, the obligors must not exceed a ratio of net debt to EBITDA of 3.50:1.00 in any 12-month period and maintain defined capital of not less than €500.0 million.
The Canadian Revolving Facility includes a covenant which requires the borrowers to comply, on a combined basis, with a 1.00:1.00 fixed charge coverage ratio as long as the excess amount under the facility is less than the greater of 10% of the line cap thereunder and C$14.0 million, in either case, for five consecutive days or less than the greater of 7.5% of the line cap and C$10.0 million, at any time.
The German Revolving Facility is provided by a syndicate of six financial institutions and the Canadian Revolving Facility is provided by three financial institutions. To date, we have not experienced any reductions in credit availability with respect to these credit facilities. However, if any of these financial institutions were to default on their commitment to fund, we could be adversely affected.
The indentures governing the Senior Notes do not contain any financial maintenance covenants and there are no scheduled principal payments until maturity. Interest on our 2028 Senior Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1, at the rate of 12.875% and they mature in October 2028. Interest on our 2029 Senior Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on February 1 and August 1, at the rate of 5.125% and they mature in February 2029.
As of December 31, 2025, we were in full compliance with all of the covenants of our indebtedness.
