4. CREDIT FACILITIES AND DEBT

LC Facility

Our LC Facility, as amended, provides for up to $10.0 million of letters of credit, subject to our cash securitization of the letters of credit, and has a maturity date of June 30, 2026. At March 31, 2025, we had $1.2 million of outstanding letters of credit under the LC Facility. Commitment fees on the unused portion of the LC Facility are 0.4% per annum and interest on outstanding letters of credit is 1.5% per annum. See Note 5 for further discussion of our letters of credit and associated security requirements.

Surety Bonds

We issue surety bonds in the ordinary course of business to support our projects and certain of our insurance coverages, and at March 31, 2025, we had $15.6 million of outstanding surety bonds. See Note 5 for further discussion of our surety bonds and related indemnification obligations.

Note Agreement

In connection with the resolution of litigation with a customer related to construction contracts for our previous Shipyard Division, during 2023, we entered into a promissory note (“Note Agreement”) with one of our Sureties (Fidelity & Deposit Company of Maryland and Zurich American Insurance Company (collectively, “Zurich”)), pursuant to which we will pay Zurich $20.0 million. The Note Agreement bears interest at a fixed rate of 3.0% per annum, with principal and interest payable in 15 equal annual installments of approximately $1.7 million. The first payment was made on December 30, 2024 and the final payment is due on December 31, 2038. At March 31, 2025, our outstanding balance and future annual principal maturities under the Note Agreement, were as follows (in thousands):

(1)
At March 31, 2025, the estimated present value of the Note Agreement amount was $12.6 million based on an estimated market rate of interest.
(2)
Due to the forbearance of interest from the issuance date of the Note Agreement until January 1, 2024, the effective rate on the Note Agreement is 2.9% per annum. Unamortized interest represents the difference between the effective interest rate and the stated interest rate on the Note Agreement.

Mortgage Agreement

We have a multiple indebtedness mortgage arrangement (“Mortgage Agreement”) with Zurich to secure our obligations and liabilities under the Note Agreement. The Mortgage Agreement, as amended, encumbers all real estate associated with the Houma Facilities, includes certain covenants and events of default, and requires that 50 percent of the net proceeds (as defined by the Mortgage Agreement) received by us in excess of $8.0 million from the sale of any real estate of our Houma Facilities be used to make early payments on the principal balance under the Note Agreement. The Mortgage Agreement will terminate when the Note Agreement is repaid. See “Note Agreement” above for further discussion of the Note Agreement.
