Reconciliation Between GAAP Debt and Covenant Debt The reconciliation of our GAAP Long-term debt, net of issuance costs and the debt balance used in our Total Leverage Ratio: ($ in millions) As of September 30, 2020 Revolving lines of credit to banks under the Senior Secured Credit Facility $ 0.0 Exchangeable Notes 95.3 Debt issuance costs, net (4.6) Total long-term debt, net of issuance costs $ 90.7 Non-GAAP Adjustments: Discount on Exchangeable Notes(1) $ 21.7 Exchangeable Notes 95.3 Exchangeable Notes Face Value $ 117.0 Revolving lines of credit to banks under the Senior Secured Credit Facility $ 0.0 Exchangeable Notes Face Value 117.0 Less: Cash and Cash Equivalents(2) (10.0) Total long-term debt for use in our Total Leverage Ratio $ 107.0 1. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options (“ASC 470-20”), convertible debt that may be entirely or partially settled in cash (such as the notes) is required to be separated into a liability and an equity component, such that interest expense reflects the issuer’s non-convertible debt interest cost. On the issue date, the value of the exchange option of the notes, representing the equity component was recorded as additional paid-in capital within shareholders’ equity and as a discount to the notes, which reduces their initial carrying value. The carrying value of the notes, net of the discount recorded, was accrued up to the principal amount of such notes from the issue date until maturity. ASC 470-20 does not affect the actual amount that the Issuer is required to repay. The amount shown in the table above for the discount reflects the debt discount for the value of the exchange option. 2. Although our cash and cash equivalents balance at September 30, 2020 was $15,568, in accordance with our Senior Secured Credit Facility, only up to $10,000 of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents may be subtracted from the calculation of long-term debt for use in our Total Leverage Ratio. 10
