Francisco Partners Facility

On November 24, 2021 (the “FP NPA Closing Date”), the Company entered into a note purchase agreement (the “FP Note Purchase Agreement”) for the issuance and sale of senior secured notes with an aggregate principal amount of up to $150 million due on November 24, 2026 to Francisco Partners (the “Francisco Partners Facility”). The Francisco Partners Facility originally consisted of (i) $30 million of senior secured notes, which were drawn on the FP NPA Closing Date (the “Pre-Combination Notes”), (ii) $20 million of senior secured notes drawable at the closing of the Tailwind Two Merger (the "Delayed Draw Notes"), and (iii) up to an additional $100 million of senior secured notes drawable at the closing of the Tailwind Two Merger (the “Conditional Notes”). Deferred debt commitment costs related to the Francisco Partners Facility totaled $62.4 million and related to an original issue discount of $5 million, third-party legal fees of $864 thousand, warrants, and contingently issuable warrants and equity. Deferred debt commitment costs were reclassified to discount on debt and deferred issuance costs, as it relates to third-party legal fees, at the time the underlying debt is issued.

On November 24, 2021, the Pre-Combination Notes were issued net of a $5 million original issue discount and resulted in proceeds received of $25 million, of which $10.8 million was allocated to proceeds from debt and $14.2 million was allocated to proceeds from warrants and derivatives in the consolidated statements of cash flows. The Company reclassified deferred debt commitment costs of $15.5 million to discount on debt and $218 thousand to deferred issuance costs related to the issuance of the Pre-Combination Notes.

On March 9, 2022, the Company amended the FP Note Purchase Agreement to, among other things, (i) increase the total principal amount of senior secured notes that may be issued under the FP Note Purchase Agreement to up to $154 million, (ii) increase the principal amount of the Delayed Draw Notes to $24 million, and (iii) accelerate the funding of the Delayed Draw Notes.

The Delayed Draw Notes were issued net of a $4 million original issue discount and resulted in proceeds received of $20 million, of which $8.6 million was allocated to proceeds from debt and $11.4 million was allocated to proceeds from warrants and derivatives in the consolidated statements of cash flows. The Company reclassified deferred debt commitment costs of $13.2 million to discount on debt and $137 thousand to deferred issuance costs related to the issuance of the Delayed Draw Notes. The Company incurred an incremental $208 thousand of deferred issuance costs related to the issuance of the Delayed Draw Notes.

On March 25, 2022, the Company further amended the FP Note Purchase Agreement to, among other things, (i) decrease the principal amount of senior secured notes that may be issued under the FP Note Purchase Agreement to up to $119 million, (ii) amend certain existing covenants, as described above, (iii) add an additional covenant, as described above, (iv) revise the maturity date to April 1, 2026, and (v) change the timing of quarterly interest payments, which were originally due on the last business day of each calendar quarter, to May 15th, August 15th, November 15th and February 15th of each calendar year, with the first such interest payment due on May 15, 2022. As consideration for the amendment on March 25, 2022, Francisco Partners received an additional 1.9 million shares of Terran Orbital Corporation's common stock in connection with the Tailwind Two Merger.

Upon closing of the Tailwind Two Merger, the Company issued $65 million of Conditional Notes. The Conditional Notes were issued net of a $5 million original issue discount and resulted in proceeds received of $60 million, of which $14.4 million was allocated to proceeds from debt, $30.8 million was allocated to proceeds from warrants and derivatives, and $14.8 million was allocated to proceeds from the issuance of common stock in the consolidated statements of cash flows. The Company reclassified deferred debt commitment costs of $32.8 million to discount on debt and $509 thousand to deferred issuance costs upon the issuance of the Conditional Notes. The Company incurred an incremental $851 thousand of issuance costs related to the issuance of the Conditional Notes, of which $641 thousand was allocated to debt and $210 thousand was allocated to equity.

In connection with the Convertible Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement (as defined below), the FP Note Purchase Agreement was amended to, to among other things, provide consent for the Company to enter into the Convertible Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement as well as a First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement to govern the relative priorities of the security interests and certain other matters related to the Company’s outstanding debt. In addition, the amendment made certain changes to the FP Note Purchase Agreement to conform to the language of the Convertible Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement, including amending the existing financial covenants to require the Company to at least break even on an EBITDA basis (as defined in the agreements) by June 30, 2024, subject to certain extensions.

Senior secured notes issued under the Francisco Partners Facility bear interest at a rate of 9.25% per annum, which is due and payable quarterly in arrears, with a one-time interest payment due upon the closing date of the Tailwind Two Merger. However, in lieu of payment in cash of all or any portion of the interest amount due on or prior the first payment, such unpaid interest amount was added to the principal balance of the senior secured notes on such interest payment date. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, approximately $1 million and $289 thousand of contractual interest was included in the outstanding principal balance of the Francisco Partners Facility, respectively.

The Francisco Partners Facility requires certain mandatory prepayments with (i) 100% of net cash proceeds of all non-ordinary course asset sales or other dispositions of property and any extraordinary receipts, subject to the ability to reinvest such proceeds and certain other exceptions and (ii) 100% of the net cash proceeds of any debt incurrence, other than debt permitted by the FP Note Purchase Agreement. The Company may prepay senior secured notes issued under the Francisco Partners Facility at any time subject to a call premium of (i) 3.0% on or prior to the second anniversary of the FP NPA Closing Date, (ii) 2.00% after the second anniversary of the FP NPA Closing Date but on or prior to the third anniversary of the FP NPA Closing Date, and (iii) at par thereafter.

The Francisco Partners Facility contains certain customary affirmative covenants, negative covenants and events of default. Commencing with the first fiscal quarter ending after the closing of the Tailwind Two Merger, the Francisco Partners Facility originally had a liquidity maintenance financial covenant requiring the Company to have an aggregate amount of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of at least the greater of (a) $20 million and (b) an amount equal to 15% of the total funded indebtedness of the Company as of the last day of each fiscal quarter. As part of the amendment on March 25, 2022, as discussed above, this covenant was modified to require that as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, the Company must have an aggregate amount of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of at least (i) $20 million in the case of the fiscal quarters ending March 31, 2022, June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2022, (ii) $10 million in the case of the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2022, and (iii) $20 million plus 15% of certain aggregate funded indebtedness of the Company for each fiscal quarter thereafter. In addition, a new covenant was added requiring the Company and its subsidiaries to at least break even on an EBITDA basis (as defined in the FP Note Purchase Agreement) by December 31, 2023, subject to certain extensions, which was subsequently amended to extend the date to June 30, 2024, as discussed above.

The obligations under the Francisco Partners Facility are guaranteed by the Company's wholly-owned U.S. subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions.

Senior Secured Notes due 2026

On March 8, 2021, the Company issued $87 million aggregate principal amount of senior secured notes due April 1, 2026 (the “Senior Secured Notes due 2026”) which resulted in gross proceeds of $50 million from Lockheed Martin and the exchange and extinguishment of $37 million then outstanding Convertible Notes due 2028 (as defined below). The Company allocated $47.5 million of the proceeds received to the Senior Secured Notes due 2026 and the remainder to warrants issued upon funding of the Senior Secured Notes due 2026 in the consolidated statements of cash flows. The Company allocated $2.8 million of deferred issuance costs to the Senior Secured Notes due 2026.

On November 24, 2021, the Senior Secured Notes due 2026 note purchase agreement was amended to provide consent to the issuance of the Pre-Combination Notes and to align the terms of cash interest payments with those of the FP Note Purchase Agreement. In addition, Lockheed Martin and Beach Point Capital (“Beach Point”) each agreed to, at their option, (a) exchange up to $25 million (in the case of Lockheed Martin) and $25 million (in the case of Beach Point) of aggregate principal amount of Senior Secured Notes due 2026 for the same principal amount of debt to be issued under a new agreement, or (b) keep outstanding such principal amounts under the existing note purchase agreement (in either case, the “Rollover Debt”). The Rollover Debt has substantially similar terms as the terms of the Francisco Partners Facility, except that the Rollover Debt does not have call protection or original issue discount and became available at the closing of the Tailwind Two Merger.

The Company issued warrants and contingently issuable warrants and equity to each of Lockheed Martin and Beach Point in connection with the November 2021 amendment, which resulted in the extinguishment and re-issuance of the Senior Secured Notes due 2026 for each of Lockheed Martin and Beach Point for accounting purposes. The loss on extinguishment of debt totaled $28 million and included the recognition of warrants and contingently issuable warrants and equity at fair value, the fair value adjustment related to the re-issuance of the Senior Secured Notes due 2026, the write-off of unamortized discount on debt and deferred issuance costs on the extinguished Senior Secured Notes due 2026, and certain third-party financing expenses. The re-issued Senior Secured Notes due 2026 were recognized at fair value with a $6.6 million premium less $420 thousand of deferred issuance costs.

On March 25, 2022, two holders of the Senior Secured Notes due 2026 agreed to, in substance, exchange the outstanding amount of principal and interest for common stock of Terran Orbital Corporation with any residual amounts settled in cash, resulting in a loss on extinguishment of debt of $727 thousand related to $4.6 million of the carrying amount of Senior Secured Notes due 2026 on March 25, 2022. The consideration transferred as part of the extinguishment included common stock with a fair value of $4.6 million and a cash payment of $703 thousand, of which $293 thousand represents the repayment of debt and $410 thousand represents the payment of interest in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

On March 25, 2022, the Senior Secured Notes due 2026 note purchase agreement was amended to, among other things, (i) set the Rollover Debt for Lockheed Martin to $25 million (the “Lockheed Martin Rollover Debt”), (ii) increase and set the Rollover Debt for Beach Point to $31.3 million (the “Beach Point Rollover Debt”), (iii) set the terms of the Lockheed Martin Rollover Debt and Beach Point Rollover Debt to have substantially similar terms as the terms in the Francisco Partners Facility, excluding call protection and the Beach Point Rollover Debt bearing interest at 11.25% (9.25% of which is payable in cash and 2.0% of which is payable in kind), and (iv) cause the Beach Point Rollover Debt to be subordinated in right of payment to the Francisco Partners Facility.

The Company partially extinguished Lockheed Martin's portion of the Senior Secured Notes due 2026, resulting in a gain on extinguishment of debt of $1.8 million related to $32.6 million of the carrying amount, inclusive of an unamortized premium, of Senior Secured Notes due 2026. The consideration transferred as part of the partial extinguishment included a cash payment of $30.8 million, of which $25 million represents the repayment of debt and $5.8 million represents the payment of interest in the consolidated statements of cash flows. In addition, the Lockheed Martin Rollover Debt represents a modification of Lockheed Martin's portion of the Senior Secured Notes due 2026. The Company expensed $323 thousand of third-party expenses related to the modification.

In connection with the PIPE Investment and the amendment on March 25, 2022, Beach Point agreed to, in substance, exchange a portion of its outstanding amount of principal and interest for common stock of Terran Orbital Corporation with the remainder representing the Beach Point Rollover Debt. As consideration for the amendment on March 25, 2022, Beach Point received an additional 2.4 million shares of Terran Orbital Corporation's common stock as part of the Tailwind Two Merger. Accordingly, Beach Point's portion of the Senior Secured Notes due 2026 was deemed to have been extinguished for the issuance of the Beach Point Rollover Debt and common stock of Terran Orbital Corporation, resulting in a loss on extinguishment of debt of $24.2 million related to $38.6 million carrying amount of Senior Secured Notes due 2026 on March 25, 2022. The consideration transferred as part of the extinguishment included common stock with a fair value of $31.8 million and the Beach Point Rollover Debt with a fair value of $31 million. The Company incurred $328 thousand of third-party expenses related to the Beach Point Rollover Debt, of which $178 thousand was allocated to debt and $151 thousand was allocated to equity.

In connection with the Convertible Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement, the Senior Secured Notes due 2026 note purchase agreement was amended to, to among other things, provide consent for the Company to enter into the Convertible Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement as well as a First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement to govern the relative priorities of the security interests and certain other matters related to the Company’s outstanding debt. In addition, the amendment made certain changes to the Senior Secured Notes due 2026 to conform to the language of the Convertible Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement, including amending the existing

financial covenants to require the Company to at least break even on an EBITDA basis (as defined in the agreements) by June 30, 2024, subject to certain extensions.

Prior to the March 25, 2022 amendment, the Senior Secured Notes due 2026 bore interest at the rate of 11% per annum, payable quarterly, and the Company had the option to pay the interest in-kind in lieu of cash prior to March 8, 2024. The Senior Secured Notes due 2026, as amended, bear interest due and payable quarterly in arrears at a rate of 9.25% per annum in the case of the Lockheed Martin Rollover Debt and at 11.25% in the case of the Beach Point Rollover Debt (9.25% of which is payable in cash and 2.0% of which is payable in kind). Interest payments are due on May 15th, August 15th, November 15th and February 15th of each calendar year. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the amount of contractual paid-in-kind interest that was included in the outstanding principal balance of the Senior Secured Notes due 2026 was approximately $484 thousand and $7.8 million, respectively.

Convertible Notes due 2027

On October 31, 2022, the Company issued and sold second lien secured convertible notes in an aggregate principal amount of $100 million due on October 31, 2027 to Lockheed Martin (the “Convertible Notes due 2027”) pursuant to a convertible note and warrant purchase agreement (the “Convertible Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement”). The Convertible Notes due 2027 resulted in proceeds received of $100 million, of which $40.5 million was allocated to proceeds from debt and $59.5 million was allocated to proceeds from warrants and derivatives in the consolidated statements of cash flows. The Company recorded approximately $1.2 million of deferred issuance costs related to the issuance of the Convertible Notes due 2027.

The Convertible Notes due 2027 bears interest at 10% per annum and is payable quarterly on May 15th, August 15th, November 15th and February 15th of each calendar year, with the first such interest payment due on February 15, 2023, and may be paid in cash or in kind at the election of the Company subject to certain conditions. As of December 31, 2022, the amount of contractual paid-in-kind interest that was included in the outstanding principal balance of the Convertible Notes due 2027 was approximately $1.7 million.

The Convertible Notes due 2027 are convertible by their holders at any time prior to maturity into the number of shares of the Company’s common stock on the date of conversion obtained by dividing (i) the outstanding principal amount of the Convertible Notes due 2027, plus any accrued but unpaid interest, by (ii) a conversion price equal to $2.898 per share, representing the average of the closing price of the Company’s common stock from October 24, 2022 through October 28, 2022 plus a 15% premium. The conversion price is subject to anti-dilution adjustments customary for convertible debt securities. The Company has agreed to use reasonable best efforts to obtain shareholder approval for the issuance of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Notes due 2027 and the exercise of the related 2027 Warrants (as defined below) by the holders that would exceed 30% of the common stock then outstanding at its next annual meeting; provided that, if such approval is not obtained and the holders seek to convert Convertible Notes due 2027 or exercise any related 2027 Warrants, the Company may settle the excess above any limit on said conversion and exercise of the warrants set by applicable stock exchange rules in cash, as permitted by the Company’s Existing Debt Agreements (as defined below). Shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Notes due 2027 are subject to customary registration rights.

On or after May 1, 2024, the Company may redeem, at its option, for cash, all or any portion of the Convertible Notes due 2027, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the applicable principal amount to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, subject to certain conditions. Upon the occurrence of a fundamental change, including certain change of control transactions of the Company, holders may require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of their Convertible Notes due 2027 at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the applicable principal amount to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions.

The Convertible Notes due 2027 are secured by a second lien on substantially all of the Company’s assets and are guaranteed, jointly and severally, by each of the Company’s wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries.

The Convertible Notes due 2027 include financial covenants that require that as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, the Company must have an aggregate amount of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of at least (i) $10 million in the case of the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2022 and (ii) $20 million plus 15% of certain aggregate funded indebtedness of the Company in the case of each fiscal quarter thereafter. In addition, the Company is required to at least break even on an EBITDA basis (as defined in the Convertible Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement) by June 30, 2024, subject to certain extensions.

In connection with the Convertible Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement, the Company entered a First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement to govern the relative priorities of the security interests and certain other matters related to the Company’s outstanding debt.

PIPE Investment Obligation

An affiliate of a director and shareholder of the Company invested $30 million as part of the PIPE Investment (the "Insider PIPE Investment"). The subscription agreement for the Insider PIPE Investment included a provision that obligates the Company to pay the affiliate a quarterly fee of $1.875 million for sixteen quarters beginning with the period ending March 31, 2022 (the “PIPE Investment Obligation”). The first four quarterly payments were to be paid in cash and the remaining payments are to be paid, at the Company's option, in cash or common stock of the Company, subject to subordination to and compliance with the Company's debt facilities. The PIPE Investment Obligation represents a liability within scope of ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, (“ASC 480”) with subsequent measurement within scope of ASC 835, Interest (“ASC 835”).

The Insider PIPE Investment resulted in proceeds received of $30 million, of which $13 million was allocated to proceeds from debt and $17 million was allocated to proceeds from the PIPE Investment in the consolidated statements of cash flows based on relative fair value. The Company incurred $259 thousand of issuance costs related to the Insider PIPE Investment, of which $112 thousand was allocated to debt and $147 thousand was allocated to equity.

Convertible Notes due 2028

In 2018, the Company issued in a private offering an aggregate principal amount of $34 million of 3.05% Convertible Promissory Notes with a maturity date of July 23, 2028 (the “Convertible Notes due 2028”). During March 2021, the Convertible Notes due 2028 were extinguished as part of the issuance of the Senior Secured Notes due 2026. The loss on extinguishment of debt totaled $70.6 million and included the recognition of warrants issued at fair value, the fair value adjustment related to the issuance of the Senior Secured Notes due 2026, the write-off of unamortized deferred issuance costs on the extinguished Convertible Notes due 2028, and certain third-party financing expenses.

During May 2020, the Company received $2.5 million related to the origination of a loan pursuant to the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) Paycheck Protection Program under Title I of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) (the “PPP Loan”).

During October 2020, the Company filed for forgiveness of the PPP Loan as 100% of the proceeds were utilized for qualified payroll and payroll related costs in accordance with the applicable provisions governing the PPP Loan. In June 2021, the SBA paid the lender the full amount of principal and interest on the PPP Loan. The Company recorded a gain on extinguishment of the PPP Loan of approximately $2.6 million in June 2021.
