The term loan agreement contains, among other things, financial covenants related to maximum total debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio and a minimum total leverage ratio. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The credit agreement is substantially secured by all the Company’s assets.

On September 30, 2021, KORE Wireless Group Inc. issued $95.1 million in senior unsecured exchangeable notes due in 2028 (the “Backstop Notes”) to affiliates of Fortress Credit Corp. (“Fortress”) pursuant to the terms of the backstop agreement (the “Backstop Agreement”), dated July 27, 2021, by and among KORE Wireless Group Inc. and Fortress. The Backstop Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture (the “Indenture”), dated September 30, 2021, by and among the Company, KORE Wireless Group Inc. and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee, as amended and restated on November 15, 2021.

The Additional Notes were issued pursuant to the Indenture and contains identical terms to the Backstop Notes.
Prior to the implementation of ASU 2020-06, since the Company could use the Company option to potentially settle all or part of the Notes for the cash equivalent of the fair value of the common stock for which the Notes may be exchanged, a portion of the proceeds of the Notes were required to be allocated to equity, based on the estimated fair value of the Notes had they not contained the exchange features. ASU 2020-06, simplifies and amends the cash conversion guidance so that the Company is no longer required to allocate to equity the estimated fair value of the Notes had they not contained the exchange features. The unamortized discount and
issuance costs will be amortized through September 30, 2028. The effective interest rates after the adoption of ASU 2020-06 for the Backstop Notes and the Additional Notes are 5.9% and 6.1% respectively.
The table below outlines the principal balances and net carrying amounts outstanding of the Notes:
