Through the Chapter 11 Cases, the Debtors implemented a Prepackaged Plan of Reorganization of the Debtors Pursuant to Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (the “Prepack Plan”) for which the Company solicited votes from certain classes of its creditors prior to commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases in accordance with the Restructuring Support Agreement that the Debtors entered into with certain of its creditors on April 3, 2014.  The Company subsequently emerged from bankruptcy on July 9, 2014 (the “Effective Date”).  Refer to the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, as amended, for further detail regarding the bankruptcy filing.

 

Financial Statement Presentation

 

Upon the Company’s emergence from the Chapter 11 Cases on July 9, 2014, the Company adopted fresh-start reporting in accordance with provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 852, “Reorganizations” (“ASC 852”).  Upon adoption of fresh-start reporting, the Company’s assets and liabilities were recorded at their value as of the fresh-start reporting date.  The fair values of the Company’s assets and liabilities in conformance with ASC 805, “Business Combinations,” as of that date differed materially from the recorded values of its assets and liabilities as reflected in its historical consolidated financial statements.  In addition, the Company’s adoption of fresh-start reporting may materially affect its results of operations following the fresh-start reporting dates, as the Company will have a new basis in its assets and liabilities.  Consequently, the Company’s historical financial statements may not be reliable indicators of its financial condition and results of operations for any period after it adopted fresh-start reporting.  As a result of the adoption of fresh-start reporting, the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of operations subsequent to July 9, 2014 will not be comparable in many respects to our consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of operations prior to July 9, 2014.  References to “Successor Company” refer to the Company after July 9, 2014, after giving effect to the application of fresh-start reporting.  References to “Predecessor Company” refer to the Company prior to July 9, 2014.

 

Merger Agreement with Baltic Trading

 

On April 7, 2015, the Company entered into a definitive merger agreement with Baltic Trading under which the Company will acquire Baltic Trading in a stock-for-stock transaction.  Under the terms of the agreement, Baltic Trading will become an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and Baltic Trading shareholders (other than the Company and its subsidiaries) will receive 0.216 shares of the Company’s common stock for each share of Baltic Trading’s common stock they own at closing, with fractional shares to be settled in cash.  Upon consummation of the transaction, the Company’s shareholders are expected to own approximately 84.5% of the combined company, and Baltic Trading’s shareholders (other than the Company and its subsidiaries) are expected to own approximately 15.5% of the combined company.  Shares of Baltic Trading’s Class B stock (all of which are owned by the Company) will be canceled in the merger.  The Company expects to have it stock listed on the New York Stock Exchange upon consummation of the transaction.

 

The Boards of Directors of both the Company and Baltic Trading established independent special committees to review the transaction and negotiate the terms on behalf of their respective companies.  Both independent special committees unanimously approved the transaction.  The Boards of Directors of both companies approved the merger by unanimous vote of directors present and

voting, with Peter C. Georgiopoulos, Chairman of the Board of each company, recused for the vote.  Approval of the merger is subject to a vote of shareholders of both the Company and Baltic Trading.

 

Acquisition of Baltic Lion and Baltic Tiger

 

Additionally, on April 7, 2015, the Company entered into an agreement under which the Company acquired all of the shares of two single-purpose vessel owning entities that were wholly owned by Baltic Trading, each of which owns one Capesize drybulk vessel, specifically the Baltic Lion and Baltic Tiger, for an aggregate purchase price of $68,500, subject to reduction for $40,563 of outstanding first-mortgage debt of such single-purpose entities that is to be guaranteed by the Company.  For further details, refer to the “Impairment of vessel assets” Section in Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.  These transactions, which closed on April 8, 2015, will be accounted for pursuant to accounting guidance under ASC 805, “Business Combinations”, for transactions amongst entities under common control.  Accordingly, the difference between the cash paid to Baltic Trading and the Company’s carrying value of the Baltic Lion and Baltic Tiger as of the closing date will be reflected as an adjustment to Additional paid-in capital.  The independent special committees of both companies’ Boards of Directors reviewed and approved these transactions.

The Company provides technical services for drybulk vessels purchased by Maritime Equity Partners LLC (“MEP”).  Peter C. Georgiopoulos, Chairman of the Board of Directors of GS&T, controls and has a minority interest in MEP.  These services include

oversight of crew management, insurance, drydocking, ship operations and financial statement preparation, but do not include chartering services.  The services are provided for a fee of $750 per ship per day plus reimbursement of out-of-pocket costs and were provided for an initial term of one year.  MEP has the right to cancel provision of services on 60 days’ notice with payment of a one-year termination fee upon a change in control of the Company.  The Company may terminate provision of the services at any time on 60 days’ notice.

 

2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Principles of consolidation

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), which include the accounts of GS&T, its wholly-owned subsidiaries and Baltic Trading, a subsidiary in which the Company owns a majority of the voting interests and exercises control.  All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Basis of presentation

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).  In the opinion of management of the Company, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and operating results have been included in the statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted.  These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, as amended (the “2014 10-K”).  The results of operations for the periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 for the Successor Company and Predecessor Company, respectively, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

 

Vessels, net

 

Vessels, net is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Included in vessel costs are acquisition costs directly attributable to the acquisition of a vessel and expenditures made to prepare the vessel for its initial voyage. The Company also capitalizes interest costs for a vessel under construction as a cost which is directly attributable to the acquisition of a vessel. Vessels are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, determined to be 25 years from the date of initial delivery from the shipyard. Depreciation expense for vessels for the Successor Company and the Predecessor Company for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was $18,967 and $34,160, respectively.

 

Depreciation expense is calculated based on cost less the estimated residual scrap value. The costs of significant replacements, renewals and betterments are capitalized and depreciated over the shorter of the vessel’s remaining estimated useful life or the estimated life of the renewal or betterment. Undepreciated cost of any asset component being replaced that was acquired after the initial vessel purchase is written off as a component of vessel operating expense. Expenditures for routine maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Scrap value is estimated by the Company by taking the cost of steel times the weight of the ship noted in lightweight tons (lwt).  Effective July 9, 2014, the Company increased the estimated scrap value of the vessels from $245 per lwt to $310 per lwt prospectively based on the 15-year average scrap value of steel.  During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the increase in the estimated scrap value resulted in a decrease in depreciation expense of $787. The decrease in depreciation expense resulted in a $0.01 change to the basic and diluted net loss per share during the three months ended March 31, 2015.  The basic and diluted net loss per share would have been ($0.65) per share if there were no change in the estimated scrap value.

 

Deferred revenue

 

Deferred revenue primarily relates to cash received from charterers prior to it being earned. These amounts are recognized as income when earned. Additionally, deferred revenue includes estimated customer claims mainly due to time charter performance issues. As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had an accrual of $725 and $662, respectively, related to these estimated customer claims.

 

Voyage expense recognition

 

In time charters, spot market-related time charters and pool agreements, operating costs including crews, maintenance and insurance are typically paid by the owner of the vessel and specified voyage costs such as fuel and port charges are paid by the charterer. There are certain other non-specified voyage expenses, such as commissions, which are typically borne by the Company. At

the inception of a time charter, the Company records the difference between the cost of bunker fuel delivered by the terminating charterer and the bunker fuel sold to the new charterer as a gain or loss within voyage expenses. These differences in bunkers resulted in a net loss (gain) of $1,453 and ($66) during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 for the Successor Company and Predecessor Company, respectively.  Additionally, voyage expenses include the cost of bunkers consumed during short-term time charters pursuant to the terms of the time charter agreement.

 

Impairment of vessel assets

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Successor Company recorded $35,396 related to the impairment of vessel assets in accordance with ASC 360 “Property, Plant and Equipment” (“ASC 360”).  At March 31, 2015, the Company determined that the sale of the Baltic Lion and Baltic Tiger was more likely than not based on Baltic Trading’s expressed consideration to divest of those vessels.  Therefore, the time utilized to determine the recoverability of the carrying value of the vessel assets was significantly reduced, and after determining that the sum of the estimated undiscounted future cash flows attributable to the Baltic Lion and Baltic Tiger would not exceed the carrying value of the respective vessels, the Company reduced the carrying value of each vessel to its estimated fair value, which was determined primarily based on appraisals and third-party broker quotes.  Subsequent to March 31, 2015, the Baltic Lion and Baltic Tiger entities were sold to GS&T.   Refer to Note 1 — General Information for details pertaining to the sale of these entities.

 

Noncontrolling interest

 

Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 reflects the noncontrolling interest’s share of the net loss of Baltic Trading, a subsidiary of the Company, which owns and employs drybulk vessels in the spot market, in vessel pools or on spot market-related time charters.  The spot market represents immediate chartering of a vessel, usually for single voyages.  At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the noncontrolling interest held an 89.15% economic interest in Baltic Trading while only holding 35.40% of the voting power.

 

Income taxes

 

Pursuant to certain agreements, GS&T technically and commercially manages vessels for Baltic Trading, as well as provides technical management of vessels for MEP in exchange for specified fees for these services provided.  These services are performed by Genco Management (USA) Limited (“Genco (USA)”), which has elected to be taxed as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes.  As such, Genco (USA) is subject to United States federal income tax on its worldwide net income, including the net income derived from providing these services.  Genco (USA) has entered into a cost-sharing agreement with the Company and Genco Ship Management LLC, collectively Manco, pursuant to which Genco (USA) agrees to reimburse Manco for the costs incurred by Genco (USA) for the use of Manco’s personnel and services in connection with the provision of the services for both Baltic Trading and MEP’s vessels.

 

Total revenue earned by the Successor Company for these services during the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $2,189 of which $1,379 eliminated upon consolidation.  After allocation of certain expenses, there was taxable income of $1,198 associated with these activities for the three months ended March 31, 2015.  This resulted in estimated tax expense of $520 for the three months ended March 31, 2015.  Total revenue earned by the Predecessor Company for these services during the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $1,855 of which $1,045 eliminated upon consolidation.  After allocation of certain expenses, there was taxable income of $886 associated with these activities for the three months ended March 31, 2014.  This resulted in estimated tax expense of $400 for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

 

Baltic Trading is subject to income tax on its United States source income.  During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, Baltic Trading had United States operations that resulted in United States source income of $587 and $284, respectively.  Baltic Trading’s estimated United States income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was $23 and $12, respectively.

 

3 - SEGMENT INFORMATION

 

The Company determines its operating segments based on the information utilized by the chief operating decision maker to assess performance and make decisions about allocating the Company’s resources.  Based on this information, the Company has two reportable operating segments, GS&T and Baltic Trading.  Both GS&T and Baltic Trading are engaged in the ocean transportation of drybulk cargoes worldwide through the ownership and operation of drybulk carrier vessels.  GS&T and Baltic Trading seek to deploy their vessels on time charters, spot market-related time charters or in vessel pools trading in the spot market.  Segment results are evaluated based on net (loss) income.  The accounting policies applied to the reportable segments are the same as those used in the preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.  As a result of the adoption of fresh-start reporting on the

6 - INVESTMENTS

 

The Company holds an investment in the capital stock of Jinhui Shipping and Transportation Limited (“Jinhui”) and Korea Line Corporation (“KLC”).  Jinhui is a drybulk shipping owner and operator focused on the Supramax segment of drybulk shipping.  KLC is a marine transportation service company that operates a fleet of carriers which includes carriers for iron ore, liquefied natural gas and tankers for oil and petroleum products.  These investments are designated as Available For Sale (“AFS”) and are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses recorded in equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”).  At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company held 16,335,100 shares of Jinhui capital stock which is recorded at its fair value of $28,776 and $26,414, respectively, based on the last closing price during each respective quarter on March 31, 2015 and December 30, 2014, respectively.  At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company held 3,355 shares of KLC stock which is recorded at its fair value of $69 and $72, respectively, based on the last closing price during each respective quarter on March 31, 2015 and December 30, 2014.

 

The Company reviews the investment in Jinhui and KLC for impairment on a quarterly basis.  There were no impairment charges recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.

 

The unrealized gain (losses) on the Jinhui capital stock and KLC stock are a component of AOCI since these investments are designated as AFS securities.  As part of fresh-start reporting, the Company revised its cost basis for its investments in Jinhui and KLC based on their fair values on the Effective Date.

 

Refer to Note 12 — Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) for a breakdown of the components of AOCI.

 

7 — NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

 

The computation of basic net loss per share is based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the year. The computation of diluted net loss per share assumes the vesting of nonvested stock awards (refer to Note 21 — Stock-Based Compensation), for which the assumed proceeds upon vesting are deemed to be the amount of compensation cost attributable to future services and are not yet recognized using the treasury stock method, to the extent dilutive.  Of the 1,110,600 nonvested shares outstanding at March 31, 2015 (refer to Note 21 — Stock-Based Compensation), all are anti-dilutive.  The Successor Company’s diluted net loss per share will also reflect the assumed conversion of the equity warrants issued on the Effective Date and MIP Warrants issued by the Successor Company (refer to Note 21 — Stock-Based Compensation) if the impact is dilutive under the

 

13



Table of Contents

 

treasury stock method.  The Predecessor Company’s diluted net loss per share will also reflect the assumed conversion under the Predecessor Company’s convertible debt if the impact is dilutive under the “if converted” method. The impact of the shares convertible under the Predecessor Company’s convertible notes is excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share when interest expense per common share obtainable upon conversion is greater than basic earnings per share.

 

The components of the denominator for the calculation of basic net loss per share and diluted net loss per share are as follows:

$100 Million Term Loan Facility

 

On August 12, 2010, the Company entered into the $100 Million Term Loan Facility. As of March 31, 2015, the Company has utilized its maximum borrowing capacity as $100,000. The Company has used the $100 Million Term Loan Facility to fund or refund the Company a portion of the purchase price of the acquisition of five vessels from companies within the Metrostar group of companies.  As of March 31, 2015, there was no availability under the $100 Million Term Loan Facility.

 

Pursuant to the amendments to the $100 Million Term Loan Facility that were entered into on December 21, 2011 and certain agreements we entered into in August 2012 to further amend our credit facilities (the “August 2012 Agreements”), the maximum leverage ratio covenant and the minimum permitted consolidated interest ratio covenant were waived for the periods ending on and including December 31, 2013.

 

On the Effective Date, the Company entered into the Amended and Restated $100 Million Term Loan Facility and the Amended and Restated $253 Million Term Loan Facility.  The Amended and Restated Credit Facilities included, among other things:

 

·                  A paydown as of the Effective Date with respect to payments which became due under the prepetition credit facilities between the Petition Date and the Effective Date and were not paid during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases ($1,923 for the $100 Million Term Loan Facility and $5,075 for the $253 Million Term Loan Facility).

 

·                  Extension of the maturity dates to August 31, 2019 from August 17, 2017 for the $100 Million Term Loan Facility and August 15, 2015 for the $253 Million Term Loan Facility.

 

·                  Relief from compliance with financial covenants governing the Company’s maximum leverage ratio, minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio and consolidated net worth through and including the quarter ending March 31, 2015 (with quarterly testing commencing June 30, 2015).

The obligations under the Amended and Restated $100 Million Term Loan Facility are secured by a first priority security interest in the vessels and other collateral securing the $100 Million Term Loan Facility.  The Amended and Restated $100 Million Term Loan Facility requires quarterly repayment installments in accordance with the original terms of the $100 Million Term Loan Facility.

 

On April 30, 2015, the Company entered into agreements to amend or waive certain provisions under the $100 Million Term Loan Facility and the $253 Million Term Loan Facility (the “April 2015 Amendments”) which implemented the following, among other things:

 

·                  The existing covenant measuring the Company’s ratio of net debt to EBITDA was replaced with a covenant requiring its ratio of total debt outstanding to value adjusted total assets (total assets adjusted for the difference between book value and market value of fleet vessels) to be less than 70%.

 

·                  Measurement of the interest coverage ratio under each facility is waived through and including December 31, 2016.

 

·                  The fleetwide minimum liquidity covenant has been amended to allow up to 50% of the required amount of $750 per vessel in cash to be satisfied with undrawn working capital lines with a remaining availability period of more than six months.

 

·                  The Company agreed to grant additional security for its obligation under the $253 Million Term Loan Facility consisting of four of the Company’s vessels, the Genco Thunder, the Genco Raptor, the Genco Muse and the Genco Challenger and related collateral.

 

Consenting lenders under the $100 Million Term Loan Facility and the $253 Million Term Loan Facility received an upfront

fee of $165 and $350, respectively, related to the April 2015 Amendments.

 

As of March 31, 2015, the Company believes it is in compliance with all of the financial covenants under the $100 Million Term Loan Facility, as amended.

 

Following the procurement of updated valuations in February 2015, the Company was not in compliance with the collateral maintenance test of a ratio of 130%. The collateral measurement was 122.4%, representing an approximate shortfall of $5,150.  Under the terms of the credit facility the Company would need to cover such shortfall within 30 days from the time it is notified by the security agent.  The Company was not notified by the security agent to take any remedial actions, However, on April 24, 2015, the Company added one of its unencumbered Handysize vessels, the Genco Sugar, as additional collateral to cover the shortfall and satisfy the collateral maintenance test.  The next date that valuations under this credit facility will be required is on or around August 17, 2015.

Pursuant to the amendment to the $253 Million Term Loan Facility that was entered into on December 21, 2011 and the August 2012 Agreements, the maximum leverage ratio covenant and the minimum permitted consolidated interest ratio covenant were waived for the periods ending on and including December 31, 2013.

 

As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company has deposited $9,750 that has been reflected as Restricted cash.  Restricted cash will be released only if the underlying collateral is sold or disposed of.

 

Refer to the “$100 Million Term Loan Facility” section above for a description of the Amended and Restated $253 Million Term Loan Facility that was entered into by the Company on the Effective Date as well as a description of the April 2015 Amendments that were entered into by the Company on April 30, 2015.

The next date that valuations under this credit facility will be required is June 30, 2015.

 

2015 Revolving Credit Facility

 

On April 7, 2015, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, Genco Commodus Limited, Genco Maximus Limited, Genco Claudius Limited, Genco Hunter Limited and Genco Warrior Limited (collectively, the “Subsidiaries”) entered into a loan agreement by and among the Subsidiaries, as borrowers, ABN AMRO Capital USA LLC, as arranger, facility agent, security agent, and as lender, providing for a $59,500 revolving credit facility, with an uncommitted accordion feature that, if exercised, will upsize the facility up to $150,000 (the “2015 Revolving Credit Facility”).  On April 7, 2015, the Company entered into a guarantee of the obligations of the Subsidiaries under the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility, in favor of ABN AMRO Capital USA LLC.

 

Borrowings under the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility will be used for general corporate purposes including “working capital” (as defined in the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility) and to finance the purchase of drybulk vessels.  The 2015 Revolving Credit Facility has a maturity date of March 31, 2020.  Borrowings under the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at LIBOR plus a margin based on a combination of utilization levels under the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility and a security maintenance cover ranging from 3.40% per annum to 4.25% per annum.  The commitment under the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility is subject to quarterly reductions of $1,641 to $4,137 depending on the total amount committed.  Borrowings under the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility are subject to 20 equal consecutive quarterly installment repayments commencing three months after the date of the loan agreement, or July 7, 2015.  A commitment fee of 1.5% per annum is payable on the undrawn amount of the maximum loan amount.

 

Borrowings under the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility are to be secured by liens on each of the Subsidiaries’ respective vessels; specifically, the Genco Commodus, Genco Maximus, Genco Claudius, Genco Hunter and Genco Warrior and other related assets.  Should the accordion feature be exercised, the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility will also be secured by up to six additional Capesize vessels and two additional Supramax vessels owned by other subsidiaries of the Company and other related assets.

 

The 2015 Revolving Credit Facility requires the Subsidiaries to comply with a number of customary covenants including financial covenants related to collateral maintenance, liquidity, leverage, debt service reserve and dividend restrictions.

months after delivery of the relevant newbuilding Ultramax vessel, each in the amount of 1/60 of the aggregate outstanding term loan.  All remaining amounts outstanding under the Baltic Trading $148 Million Credit Facility must be repaid in full on the maturity date, December 31, 2019.

 

Borrowings under the Baltic Trading $148 Million Credit Facility are secured by liens on nine of Baltic Trading’s existing vessels that have served as collateral under the 2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility, the two newbuilding Ultramax vessels noted above, and other related assets, including existing or future time charter contracts in excess of 36 months related to the foregoing vessels.

 

The Baltic Trading $148 Million Credit Facility requires Baltic Trading to comply with a number of customary covenants substantially similar to those in the 2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility, including financial covenants related to liquidity, leverage, consolidated net worth and collateral maintenance.

 

As of March 31, 2015, $33,000 remained available under the Baltic Trading $148 Million Credit Facility which represents the $33,000 term loan facility.

As of March 31, 2015, the Company believes Baltic Trading is in compliance with all of the financial covenants under the Baltic Trading $148 Million Credit Facility.

 

Change of Control

 

If the Company’s ownership in Baltic Trading were to decrease to less than 10% of the aggregate number of shares of common stock and Class B Stock of Baltic Trading, the outstanding Baltic Trading Class B Stock held by the Company would automatically convert into common stock, and the voting power held by the Company in Baltic Trading would likewise decrease to less than 30%. This would result in a change of control as defined under the Baltic Trading $148 Million Credit Facility, the Baltic Trading $22 Million Term Loan Facility, the Baltic Trading $44 Million Term Loan Facility and the 2014 Baltic Trading Term Loan Facilities, and would therefore constitute an event of default. Additionally, a change of control constituting an event of default under Baltic Trading’s credit facilities would also occur if any party other than the Company or certain other permitted holders beneficially owns more than 30% of the Company’s outstanding voting or economic equity interests, which may occur if a party were deemed to control Genco. The Prepack Plan did not result, and the Company does not expect the Prepack Plan to result, in a reduction of the Company’s ownership in Baltic Trading.  As of the date of this report, no change of control under either of the foregoing tests has occurred.  In addition, Baltic Trading has the right to terminate the Management Agreement upon the occurrence of certain events, including a Manager Change of Control (as defined in the Management Agreement), without making a termination payment.  Some of these have occurred as a result of the transactions contemplated by the Prepack Plan, including the consummation of any transaction that results in (i) any “person” (as such term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), other than Peter Georgiopoulos or any of his affiliates, becoming the beneficial owner of 25% of the Company’s voting securities or (ii) the Company’s stock ceasing to be traded on the New York Stock Exchange or any other internationally recognized stock exchange.  Therefore, Baltic Trading may have the right to terminate the Management Agreement, although Baltic Trading may be prevented or delayed from doing so because of the effect of applicable bankruptcy law, including the automatic stay provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code and the provisions of the Prepack Plan and the Confirmation Order.  The Prepack Plan did not result in any changes to the Management Agreement.  However, it is anticipated that the Management Agreement will be terminated following consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Company’s definitive merger agreement with Baltic Trading.

 

On April 7, 2015, the Company entered into a definitive merger agreement with Baltic Trading, refer to Note 1 — General Information.

The Company issued $125,000 of the 5.0% Convertible Senior Notes on July 27, 2010 (the “2010 Notes”). The Indenture for the 2010 Notes included customary agreements and covenants by the Company, including with respect to events of default. As noted in Note 1 — General Information, the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases by the Company on April 21, 2014 constituted an event of default with respect to the 2010 Notes. On this date, the Company ceased recording interest expense related to the 2010 Notes.  On the Effective Date, when the Company emerged from Chapter 11, the 2010 Notes and the Indenture were fully satisfied and discharged.

11 - INTEREST RATE SWAP AGREEMENTS

 

As of March 31, 2014, the Company had one interest rate swap agreement outstanding with DNB Bank ASA to manage interest costs and risk associated with variable interest rates related to the Company’s 2007 Credit Facility.  The notional amount of the swap was $106,233.  As of March 31, 2014, the Company was in default under covenants of its 2007 Credit Facility due to the default on the schedule debt amortization payment due on March 31, 2014.  The default under the 2007 Credit Facility required the Company to elect interest periods of only one-month, therefore the Company no longer qualified for hedge accounting under the original designation and hedge accounting was terminated effective March 31, 2014.  Additionally, the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases by the Company on the Petition Date constituted an event of default with respect to the outstanding interest rate swap with DNB Bank ASA.  As a result, DNB Bank ASA terminated all transactions under the remaining swap agreement effective April 30, 2014 and filed a secured claim with the Bankruptcy Court of $5,622.  The claim was paid to DNB Bank ASA by the Successor Company during the period from July 9 to September 30, 2014.

 

As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 the Company did not have any interest rate swap agreements.

 

The differentials to be paid or received for these swap agreements were recognized as an adjustment to interest expense as incurred.  The Company utilized cash flow hedge accounting for these swaps through March 31, 2014, whereby the effective portion of the change in the value of the swaps is reflected as a component of AOCI.  The ineffective portion is recognized as Other expense, which is a component of Other income (expense).  On March 31, 2014, the cash flow hedge accounting on the remaining swap agreement was discontinued.  Once cash flow hedge accounting was discontinued, the changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps were recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations in Interest expense and the remaining amounts included in AOCI were amortized to Interest expense over the original term of the hedging relationship for the Predecessor Company.

 

The following tables present the impact of derivative instruments and their location within the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations:

The fair value of the floating rate debt under the Amended and Restated $100 Million Term Loan Facility and the Amended and Restated $253 Million Term Loan Facility are based on rates obtained upon our emergence from Chapter 11 on the Effective Date.  The 2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility was refinanced by the Baltic Trading $148 Million Credit Facility, which was entered into December 31, 2014.  On January 7, 2015, Baltic Trading settled the outstanding debt under the 2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility with proceeds from the Baltic Trading $148 Million Credit Facility, therefore Management believes the floating rate debt outstanding under the Baltic Trading $148 Million Credit Facility and the 2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, approximates its fair value as of those dates. The fair value of the Baltic Trading $22 Million Term Loan Facility and the Baltic Trading $44 Million Term Loan Facility is based on rates that Baltic Trading recently obtained upon the effective dates of these facilities on August 30, 2013 and December 3, 2013, respectively.  Lastly, the fair value of the floating rate debt outstanding under the 2014 Baltic Trading Term Loan Facilities is based on rates that Baltic Trading recently obtained upon the effective date of these facilities on October 8, 2014. Refer to Note 9 — Debt for further information.  Additionally, the Company considers its creditworthiness in determining the fair value of floating rate debt under the credit facilities.  The carrying value approximates the fair market value for these floating rate loans.  The carrying amounts of the Company’s other financial instruments at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (principally Due from charterers and Accounts payable and accrued expenses), approximate fair values because of the relatively short maturity of these instruments.

 

ASC Subtopic 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements & Disclosures” (“ASC 820-10”), applies to all assets and liabilities that are being measured and reported on a fair value basis.  This guidance enables the reader of the financial statements to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements by establishing a hierarchy for ranking the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. The fair value framework requires the categorization of assets and liabilities into three levels based upon the assumption (inputs) used to price the assets or liabilities. Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value, whereas Level 3 generally requires significant management judgment. The three levels are defined as follows:

 

·                  Level 1—Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments that the Company is able to access. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these instruments does not entail a significant degree of judgment.

 

·                  Level 2—Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for instruments that are similar, or quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar instruments, and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets.

 

·                  Level 3—Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

 

As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the fair values of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities are categorized as follows:

20 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

In September 2005, the Company entered into a 15-year lease for office space in New York, New York for which there was a free rental period from September 1, 2005 to July 31, 2006.  On January 6, 2012, the Company ceased the use of this space.  During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Predecessor Company recorded net rent expense of $0 related to this lease agreement.  Pursuant to the Plan that was approved by the Bankruptcy Court, the Debtors rejected the lease agreement on the Effective Date and the Company believes that it will owe the lessor the remaining liability.

 

Effective April 4, 2011, the Company entered into a seven-year sub-sublease agreement for additional office space in New York, New York.  The term of the sub-sublease commenced June 1, 2011, with a free base rental period until October 31, 2011. Following the expiration of the free base rental period, the monthly base rental payments are $82 per month until May 31, 2015 and thereafter will be $90 per month until the end of the seven-year term.  Pursuant to the sub-sublease agreement, the sublessor was obligated to contribute $472 toward the cost of the Company’s alterations to the sub-subleased office space.  The Company has also entered into a direct lease with the over-landlord of such office space that will commence immediately upon the expiration of such sub-sublease agreement, for a term covering the period from May 1, 2018 to September 30, 2025; the direct lease provides for a free base rental period from May 1, 2018 to September 30, 2018.  Following the expiration of the free base rental period, the monthly base rental payments will be $186 per month from October 1, 2018 to April 30, 2023 and $204 per month from May 1, 2023 to September 30, 2025.  For accounting purposes, the sub-sublease agreement and direct lease agreement with the landlord constitutes one lease agreement.  As a result of the straight-line rent calculation generated by the free rent period and the tenant work credit, the monthly straight-line rental expense for the term of the entire lease from June 1, 2011 to September 30, 2025 was $130 for the Predecessor Company.  On the Effective Date, a revised straight-line rent calculation was completed as part of fresh-start reporting.  The revised monthly straight-line rental expense for the remaining term of the lease from the Effective Date to September 30, 2025 is $150.  The Company had a long-term lease obligation at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 of $593 and $390, respectively.  Rent expense pertaining to this lease recorded by the Successor Company and the Predecessor Company for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was $452 and $389, respectively.

 

Future minimum rental payments on the above lease for the next five years and thereafter are as follows: $791 for the remainder of 2015, $1,076 annually for 2016 and 2017, $916 for 2018, $2,230 for 2019 and a total of $13,360 for the remaining term of the lease.

 

21 — STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

There were no shares that vested under the GS&T Plans during the three months ended March 31, 2014 for the Predecessor Company.

2014 Management Incentive Plan

 

On the Effective Date, pursuant to the Chapter 11 Plan, the Company adopted the Genco Shipping & Trading Limited 2014 Management Incentive Plan (the “MIP”). An aggregate of 9,668,061 shares of Common Stock were available for award under the

MIP, which were awarded in the form of restricted stock grants and awards of three tiers of MIP Warrants with staggered strike prices based on increasing equity values.  The number of shares of common stock available under the Plan represented approximately 1.8% of the shares of post-emergence Common Stock outstanding as of the Effective Date on a fully-diluted basis. Awards under the MIP were available to eligible employees, non-employee directors and/or officers of the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Eligible Individuals”). Under the MIP, a committee appointed by the Board from time to time (or, in the absence of such a committee, the Board) (in either case, the “Plan Committee”) may grant a variety of stock-based incentive awards, as the Plan Committee deems appropriate, to Eligible Individuals. The MIP Warrants are exercisable on a cashless basis and contain customary anti-dilution protection in the event of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, reclassification, dividend or other distributions (including, but not limited to, cash dividends), or business combination transaction.

 

On August 7, 2014, pursuant to the MIP, certain individuals were granted MIP Warrants whereby each warrant can be converted on a cashless basis for the amount in excess of the respective strike price. The MIP Warrants were issued in three tranches, which are exercisable for 2,380,664, 2,467,009, and 3,709,788 shares and have exercise prices of $25.91 (the “$25.91 Warrants”), $28.73 (the “$28.73 Warrants”) and $34.19 (the “$34.19 Warrants”), respectively. The fair value of each warrant upon emergence from bankruptcy was $7.22 for the $25.91 Warrants, $6.63 for the $28.73 Warrants and $5.63 for the $34.19 Warrants. The warrant values were based upon a calculation using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing formula. This model uses inputs such as the underlying price of the shares issued when the warrant is exercised, volatility, cost of capital interest rate and expected life of the instrument. The Company has determined that the warrants should be classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy by evaluating each input for the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing formula
