CONVERTIBLE DEBT
On June 29, 2015, the Company completed a public offering of $115 million aggregate principal amount of 7.00% Convertible Senior Notes Due 2020 (the "Convertible Notes"). The Convertible Notes mature on June 15, 2020 and bear interest at a rate of 7.0 percent per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning on December 15, 2015. For the year ended December 31, 2015, there is $4.1 million of interest expense resulting from the Convertible Notes. The Convertible Notes were issued with an underwriters discount of $3.7 million which will be amortized over the life of the Notes. The amount of amortization included in interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2015 is $381 thousand.
As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, approximately $219 thousand and $0, respectively, in net deferred debt issuance costs related to the Convertible Notes are included in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. For the year ended December 31, 2015 there is $22 thousand of deferred debt cost amortization included in interest expense within the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income. Including the impact of the convertible debt discount and related deferred debt issuance costs, the effective interest rate on the Convertible Notes is approximately 7.7 percent.
The Company may not redeem the Convertible Notes prior to the maturity date. Holders may convert their Convertible Notes into shares of the Company’s common stock at their option until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date. The initial conversion rate for the Convertible Notes will be 30.3030 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of the Convertible Notes, equivalent to an initial conversion price of $33.0 per share of Common Stock. Such conversion rate will be subject to adjustment in certain events as specified in the Indenture.
The Convertible Notes may not be redeemed prior to the maturity date; however, upon the occurrence of a fundamental change (as defined in the Indenture), holders may require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of the Convertible Notes for cash at a price equal to 100 percent of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be purchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the applicable fundamental change repurchase date as prescribed in the Indenture. In addition, in certain circumstances the Company will increase the conversion rate for a holder that converts the Convertible Notes in connection with any of a specified set of corporate events, each of which is deemed to constitute a make whole adjustment event pursuant to the terms of the Indenture.
The Convertible Notes rank equal in right of payment to any other current and future unsecured obligations of the Company and senior in right of payment to any other current and future indebtedness of the Company that is contractually subordinated to the Convertible Notes. The Convertible Notes are structurally subordinated to all liabilities (including trade payables) of the Company’s subsidiaries. The Convertible Notes are effectively junior to all of the Company’s existing or future secured debt, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such debt.
