Short term loan and line of credit
 
On the Halo Acquisition Date, the Company entered into a Loan Facilities Agreement (the “Facilities Agreement”) by and among the Company, as the borrower, the several lenders from time to time parties thereto (collectively, the “Lenders”) and a private debt lender, as agent (the “Agent”). The Facilities Agreement provides for (i) a term loan facility of $20.5 million and (ii) a revolving demand loan facility not to exceed $7.5 million.
 
As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the term loan outstanding was $18.2 million and $16.1 million, net of debt issuance costs and discounts of $2.3 million and $4.4 million, respectively, and the line of credit outstanding was $5.7 million and $4.8 million, respectively, net of debt issuance costs of $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively. The debt issuance costs and discounts are amortized using the effective interest method. The term loan and line of credit are scheduled to mature on December 19, 2020 or such earlier date on which a demand is made by the Agent or any Lender.

Certain directors and shareholders of the Company (“Shareholder Guarantors”) agreed to enter into a Continuing Guaranty (the “Shareholder Guaranties”) in the amount of $20.0 million and guarantee the Company’s obligations under the agreement. As consideration for the Shareholder Guaranties, the Company agreed to issue common stock purchase warrants to the Shareholder Guarantors in an amount equal to 0.325 warrants for each dollar of debt under the agreement guaranteed by such Shareholder Guarantors (the “Guarantor Warrants”). The Guarantor Warrants are exercisable any time from the date of issuance for up to 24 months from the date of the consummation of an IPO (as defined therein) at an exercise price $1.82 per share. The Guarantor Warrants had a fair value of $4.2 million on the date of issuance.
 
As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company was in compliance with its debt covenants.
 
Notes payable
 
On November 4, 2019, the Company issued $2.8 million of subordinated convertible notes (the “November 2019 Notes”) which carry a 10% interest rate and mature on November 4, 2021. The interest is payable in arrears on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year. Payment in kind (“PIK”) interest is payable by increasing the aggregate principal amount of the November 2019 Notes. The November 2019 Notes are exercisable any time from the date of issuance and carried an initial conversion price of the lower of (a) $4.00 per share or (b) the IPO Price. The IPO Price is the price at which the Company’s stock will be sold in a future IPO. The Company issued incremental warrants associated with the November 2019 Notes with a fair value of less than $0.1 million on the date of issuance.

The November 2019 Notes were amended on January 6, 2020. The amendment incorporates only the preferable terms of the Seller Notes as noted below, and all other terms and provisions of the November 2019 Notes remain in full force and effect. Pursuant to the amended November 2019 Notes, PIK interest shall be payable by increasing the aggregate principal amount of the November 2019 Notes. As amended, for so long as any event of default (as defined in the November 2019 Note) exists, interest shall accrue on the November 2019 Note principal at the default interest rate of 12.0% per annum, and such accrued interest shall be immediately due and payable.

The November 2019 Notes were amended for the second time on June 24, 2020 in connection with the issuance of the June 2020 Notes. The amendment lowers the maximum conversion price applicable to the conversion of these notes from $4.00 per share to $3.75 per share and extends the maturity date from November 4, 2021 to June 30, 2023. Under the applicable accounting guidance, the Company accounted for the change in conversion price as a modification of the debt instrument. The Company recognized the increase in the fair value of the conversion option of $0.3 million as a reduction to the carrying amount of the debt instrument by increasing the associated debt discount with a corresponding increase in additional paid-in capital.

As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the aggregate amount of November 2019 Notes outstanding was $2.6 million and $2.8 million, respectively, net of discounts of less than $0.3 million and less than $0.1 million, respectively. The discounts are being amortized over the life of the November 2019 Notes using the effective interest method.

On December 19, 2019, the Company issued $10.0 million and $5.0 million in senior subordinated convertible notes (the “Senior Seller Notes”) and junior subordinated convertible notes (the “Junior Seller Notes”), jointly the “Seller Notes” to the sellers of Halo. The Seller Notes are exercisable any time from the date of issuance and carry a 10% interest rate and mature on June 30, 2023. Interest is payable in arrears on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year. PIK interest is payable by increasing the aggregate principal amount of the Seller Notes. The Seller Notes carried an initial conversion price of the lower of (a) $4.00 per share or (b) the IPO Price.
 
The Seller Notes were amended on June 24, 2020 in connection with the issuance of the June 2020 Notes. The amendment lowers the maximum conversion price applicable to the conversion of these notes from $4.00 per share to $3.75 per share. The Company accounted for the change in the conversion price as a modification of the debt instrument. The Company recognized the increase in the fair value of the conversion option of less than of $0.3 million as a reduction to the carrying amounts of the debt instruments by increasing the associated debt discounts with a corresponding increase in additional paid-in capital.

As of June 30, 2020, the Senior Seller Notes outstanding were $9.7 million, net of discounts of $0.9 million, and the Junior Seller Notes outstanding were $4.6 million, net of discounts of $0.6 million. As of December 31, 2019, the Senior Seller Notes outstanding were $9.2 million, net of discounts of $0.9 million, and the Junior Seller Notes outstanding were $4.4 million, net of discounts of $0.5 million. The discounts are being amortized over the life of the Seller Notes using the effective interest method.

On January 13, 2020, the Company issued $0.6 million in senior subordinated convertible notes to ABG. The ABG Notes are exercisable any time from the date of issuance and carry a 10% interest rate and mature on June 30, 2023. The interest is payable in arrears on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year. PIK interest is payable by increasing the aggregate principal amount of the ABG Notes. The ABG Notes carried an initial conversion price of the lower of (a) $4.00 per share or (b) the IPO Price.

The ABG Notes were amended on June 24, 2020 in connection with the issuance of the June 2020 Notes. The amendment lowers the maximum conversion price applicable to the conversion of these notes from $4.00 per share to $3.75 per share. The Company accounted for the change in the conversion price as a modification of the debt instrument. The Company recognized the increase in the fair value of the conversion option of less than $0.1 million as a reduction to the carrying amount of the debt instrument by decreasing the associated debt premium with a corresponding increase in additional paid-in capital.

As of June 30, 2020, the ABG Notes outstanding was $0.7 million, including a debt premium of less than $0.1 million. The debt premium is being amortized over the life of the ABG Notes using the effective interest method.
 
On June 24, 2020, the Company issued $1.5 million in subordinated convertible promissory notes (the “June 2020 Notes”) which carry a 10% interest rate and mature on June 30, 2023. The interest is payable quarterly in arrears on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year. PIK interest is payable by increasing the aggregate principal amount of the June 2020 Notes. The June 2020 Notes are exercisable any time from the date of issuance and carry a conversion price $0.75 per share. The June 2020 Notes are also convertible automatically upon the Company’s consummation of an initial public offering or change in control (each as defined in the June 2020 Notes).
 
The Company evaluated the conversion option within the June 2020 Notes to determine whether the conversion price was beneficial to the note holders. The Company recorded a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) related to the issuance of the June 2020 Notes. The BCF for the June 2020 Notes was recognized and measured by allocating a portion of the proceeds to beneficial conversion feature, based on relative fair value, and as a reduction to the carrying amount of the convertible instrument equal to the intrinsic value of the conversion feature. The Company will accrete the discount recorded in connection with the BCF valuation as interest expense over the term of the June 2020 Notes, using the effective interest rate method.
 
As of June 30, 2020, the amount outstanding on the June 2020 Notes was $0.0 million, net of discounts of $1.5 million. The discounts are being amortized over the life of the June 2020 Notes using the effective interest method.

The exercise, conversion or exchange of convertible securities, including for other securities, will dilute the percentage ownership of the Company’s stockholders. The dilutive effect of the exercise or conversion of these securities may adversely affect the Company’s ability to obtain additional capital.
 
As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company was in compliance with all covenant requirements and there were no events of default. All notes payable are subordinated to the short term loan and line of credit.
 
PPP loans
 
On April 10, 2020, TruPet, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Better Choice Company Inc., was granted a loan from JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. in the aggregate amount of $0.4 million, pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) under Division A, Title I of the CARES Act (the “TruPet PPP Loan”). The loan matures on April 6, 2022, and bears interest at a rate of 0.98% per annum, payable monthly, commencing on November 6, 2020. As of June 30, 2020, the TruPet PPP Loan outstanding was $0.4 million.

On May 7, 2020, Halo, Purely for Pets, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Better Choice Company Inc., was granted a loan from JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. in the aggregate amount of $0.4 million, pursuant to the PPP (the “Halo PPP Loan”). The loan matures on May 3, 2022, and bears interest at a rate of 1.00% per annum, payable monthly, commencing on November 1, 2020. As of June 30, 2020, the Halo PPP Loan outstanding was $0.4 million.

Under the terms of the PPP, certain amounts of the loans may be forgiven if they are used for qualifying expenses as described in the CARES Act. The Company intends to use the entire loan amounts for qualifying expenses.
 
The Company recorded interest expense related to its outstanding indebtedness of $2.4 million and $4.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, and less than $0.1 million and $0.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively.
 
The carrying amounts of the November 2019, Senior Seller Notes and Junior Seller Notes, ABG Notes, June 2020 Notes and PPP loans were approximately $2.6 million, $9.7 million $4.6 million, $0.7 million, $0.0 million, and $0.9 million, respectively, as of June 30, 2020. The carrying amounts of these debt instruments approximate fair value which is based on observable inputs, including quoted and market prices (Level 2).
 
The carrying amount of the Company’s short term loan approximates fair value due to its short term nature. The carrying amount for the Company’s line of credit approximates fair value as the instrument has a variable interest rate that approximates market rates.
