SEASPAN CORPORATION
Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
(Tabular amounts in millions of United States dollars)
1.General:
Seaspan Corporation (“Seaspan” or the “Company”) was incorporated
on May 3, 2005 in the Marshall Islands and owns and operates
containerships pursuant to primarily long-term, fixed-rate time
charters to major container liner companies. Seaspan is a wholly
owned subsidiary of Atlas Corp. ("Atlas").
2.Significant
accounting policies:
(a)Basis
of presentation:
Except for the changes described in note 2(b), the accompanying
interim financial information of Seaspan Corporation has been
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), on a basis
consistent with those followed in the December 31, 2021 audited
annual consolidated financial statements of Atlas. The accompanying
interim financial information is unaudited and reflects all
adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which, in
the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of
results for the interim periods presented.
(b) Recent accounting
pronouncements:
Discontinuation of LIBOR
In 2021, the Company adopted ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform
(Topic 848)”, prospectively to contract modifications. The guidance
provides optional relief for the discontinuation of LIBOR resulting
from rate reform. Contract terms that are modified due to the
replacement of a reference rate are not required to be remeasured
or reassessed under FASB’s relevant U.S. GAAP Topic. The election
is available by Topic. The Company has elected to apply the
optional relief for contracts under ASC 470, “Debt”, ASC 840 and
842, “Leases”, and ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. There was no
impact to the Company's financial statements upon initial adoption.
The LIBOR replacement modifications for Debt contracts will be
accounted for by prospectively adjusting the effective interest
rate in the agreements. Existing lease and derivative contracts
will require no reassessments. Transition activities are focused on
the conversion of existing LIBOR based contracts to the Secured
Overnight Financing Rate.
Debt with conversion and other options
Effective January 1, 2022, the Company adopted ASU 2020-06, “Debt –
Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20)” (“ASU
2020-06”), using the modified retrospective method, whereby the
cumulative effect adjustment was made as of the date of the initial
application. Accordingly, financial information and disclosures in
the comparative period were not restated. The impact of the
adoption of ASU 2020-06 resulted in an adjustment of $5,073,000 to
opening retained earnings at January 1, 2022 related to the
unamortized debt discount that was initially recorded when the
convertible notes were issued. Under ASU 2020-06, the accounting
for convertible debt instruments is simplified by reducing the
number of accounting models and circumstances when embedded
conversion features are separately recognized. This update also
revises the method in which diluted earnings per share is
calculated related to certain instruments with conversion features,
among other clarifications. As a result of the adoption, the
Company recognizes the maximum potential dilutive effect of its
exchangeable notes in diluted EPS using the if-converted method
effective January 1, 2022.
3.Related
party transactions:
The income or expenses with related parties relate to amounts paid
to or received from individuals or entities that are associated
with the Company or with the Company’s directors or officers and
these transactions are governed by pre-arranged
contracts.
Over the course of 2018, 2019 and 2020, the Company issued to
Fairfax Financial Holdings Limited and certain of its affiliates
(“Fairfax”) an aggregate $600,000,000 of 5.50% senior notes due in
2025, 2026 and 2027 (the “Fairfax Notes”) and warrants to purchase
an aggregate 101,923,078 common shares of the Company. Two tranches
of warrants, each for 38,461,539 common shares, were exercisable at
a price of $6.50 per share. One tranche of warrants, for 25,000,000
common shares, was exercisable at a price of $8.05 per share. As of
April 7, 2022, all such warrants have been exercised.

3.Related
party transactions (continued):
In June 2021, Atlas and the Company exchanged and amended
$300,000,000 of the Fairfax Notes for (i) 12,000,000 Series J 7.00%
Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Shares of Atlas,
representing a total liquidation value of $300,000,000, and (ii)
warrants to purchase 1,000,000 common shares of Atlas. The
exchanged Fairfax Notes were subsequently cancelled and, in August
2021, the Company redeemed for cash the remaining Fairfax Notes at
a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus any
accrued and unpaid interest.
Transactions with Atlas Corp.

to service Atlas’s payment of dividends to holders of its common
and preferred shares. During the three months ended March 31,

In February 2022, the Company closed a new $250,000,000, 3-year

As at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company
had three revolving credit facilities available, which provided for
aggregate borrowings of up to $650,000,000 (December 31, 2021
– $550,000,000), of which $650,000,000 (December 31, 2021 -
$550,000,000) was undrawn.
The Company is subject to commitment fees ranging between 0.45% and
0.5% (December 31, 2021 – 0.5% and 0.6%) calculated on the

Term loan credit facilities mature between December 31, 2022 and
January 21, 2030.
For the Company’s term loan credit facilities, except for three,
interest is calculated on three month or six month LIBOR plus a
margin per annum. The three month and six month average LIBOR was
0.7% and 0.6%, respectively (December 31, 2021 – 0.2% and
0.2%, respectively) and the margins ranged between 0.4% and 2.3% as
at March 31, 2022 (December 31, 2021 – 0.4% and
2.3%).
For one of our term loan credit facilities with a total principal
outstanding of $24,005,000 (December 31, 2021 - $27,198,000),
interest is calculated based on the Export-Import Bank of Korea
(KEXIM) rate plus 0.7% per annum.
For two of the term loan credit facilities with a total principal
amount outstanding of $9,877,000 (December 31, 2021 –
$10,923,000), interest is calculated based on a contractual rate of
3.8% per annum for both.
The Company is subject to commitment fees ranging between 0.2% and
0.6% (December 31, 2021 – 0.2% and 0.6%) calculated on the
undrawn amounts under the various facilities.
The weighted average rate of interest, including the applicable
margin, was 2.1% at March 31, 2022 (December 31, 2021 –
1.8%) for term loan credit facilities. Interest payments are made
in monthly, quarterly or semi-annual payments.

As at March 31, 2022, $1,479,550,000 principal amount of
indebtedness under one of the Company’s term loan and revolving
credit facilities, together with $500,000,000 of
sustainability-linked fixed rate notes with maturities from June
2031 to June 2036, was secured by a portfolio of 49 vessels, the
composition of which can be changed and is subject to a borrowing
base and portfolio concentration requirements, as well as
compliance with financial covenants and certain negative
covenants.
The Company may prepay certain amounts outstanding without penalty,
other than breakage costs in certain circumstances. A prepayment
may be required as a result of certain events, including without
limitation the sale or loss of a vessel, a termination or
expiration of a charter (and the inability to enter into a
replacement charter acceptable to lenders within a prescribed
period of time). The amount that must be prepaid may be calculated
based on the loan to market value. In these circumstances,
valuations of the Company’s vessels are conducted on a “without
charter” basis as required under the credit facility
agreement.
Each credit facility contains a mix of financial covenants
requiring the Company to maintain minimum liquidity, tangible net
worth, interest and principal coverage ratios and/or debt to assets
ratios, as defined.
Certain facilities are guaranteed by an intermediate parent entity,
in which case the parent entity must meet certain consolidated
financial covenants under those term loan facilities including
maintaining certain minimum tangible net worth, cash requirements
and debt-to-asset
Some of the facilities also have an interest and principal coverage
ratio, debt service coverage and vessel value requirement for the
subsidiary borrower. The Company was in compliance with these
covenants as at March 31, 2022.

16.Financial
Instruments
(a)Fair
value:
The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, short-term
investments, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable
and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values because of
their short term to maturity.
As of March 31, 2022, the fair value of the Company’s
revolving credit facilities and term loans excluding deferred
financing fees was $2,061,734,316 (December 31, 2021 -
$2,113,823,949) and the carrying value was $2,084,123,688
(December 31, 2021 - $2,128,628,523). As of March 31,
2022, the fair value of the Company’s other financing arrangements,
excluding deferred financing fees, was $1,394,100,000
(December 31, 2021 - $1,419,508,000) and the carrying value
was $1,337,977,138 (December 31, 2021 - $1,363,098,000). The
fair value of the revolving and term loan credit facilities and
other financing arrangements, excluding deferred financing fees,
are estimated based on expected principal repayments and interest,
discounted by relevant forward rates plus a margin appropriate to
the credit risk of the Company. Therefore, the Company has
categorized the fair value of these financial instruments as Level
2 in the fair value hierarchy.
As of March 31, 2022, the fair value of the Company’s senior
unsecured notes was $1,283,431,000 (December 31, 2021 –
$1,291,476,000) and the carrying value was $1,250,000,000
(December 31, 2021 – $1,250,000,000). The fair value of the
Company’s Exchangeable Notes was $198,724,000 (December 31,
2021 - $209,566,000) and the carrying value was $201,250,000
(December 31, 2021 - $201,250,000) or $201,250,000
(December 31, 2021 - $196,177,000 net of debt discount). The
fair value of the Company’s Senior Secured Notes was $453,873,000
and the carrying value was $500,000,000. The fair value is
calculated using the present value of expected principal repayments
and interest discounted by relevant forward rates plus a margin
appropriate to the credit risk of the Company. As a result, these
amounts are categorized as Level 2 in the fair value
hierarchy.
The Company’s interest rate derivative financial instruments are
re-measured to fair value at the end of each reporting period. The
fair values of the interest rate derivative financial instruments
have been calculated by discounting the future cash flow of both
the fixed rate and variable rate interest rate payments. The
discount rate was derived from a yield curve created by nationally
recognized financial institutions adjusted for the associated
credit risk. The fair values of the interest rate derivative
financial instruments are determined based on inputs that are
readily available in public markets or can be derived from
information available in publicly quoted markets. Therefore, the
Company has categorized the fair value of these derivative
financial instruments as Level 2 in the fair value
hierarchy.
The exchange feature embedded in the Exchangeable Notes and capped
calls entered into in connection with the Exchangeable Notes are
derivatives measured at fair value at the end of each reporting
period.
The embedded exchange feature derivative is measured at fair value
using a partial differential equation, with a Monte Carlo model for
certain features. The capped call derivative is measured at fair
value using a binomial tree. These models utilize observable and
unobservable market data, including stock price, expected
volatility, risk-free interest rate and expected dividend yield, as
applicable.
The embedded exchange feature and capped call derivatives are
classified as Level 3 as the Company uses expected volatility that
is unobservable and significant to the valuation. In general, an
increase in Atlas’s stock price or stock price volatility will
increase the fair value of the embedded exchange feature and capped
call derivatives which will result in an increase in loss and gain,
respectively. As time to the expiration of the derivatives
decreases, the fair value of the derivatives will decrease. The
volatilities used as of
March 31, 2022,
for the embedded exchange feature were 43.05%% and 30.24% for the
capped call.

(1)For
the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 , cash flows
related to actual settlement of interest rate swaps were $5,025,000
and $5,305,000. These are included in investing activities on the

The notes are expected to be issued in August 2022 and will
comprise three series, with interest rates ranging from 5.18% to
5.53% and maturities ranging from September 2032 to September
2037.
ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following should be read in conjunction with the unaudited
consolidated financial statements and related notes included in
this Report and the audited consolidated financial statements and
related notes for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 filed with
the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on an Atlas Corp. Form
6-K. Unless otherwise indicated, all amounts are presented in U.S.
dollars, or USD. We prepare our consolidated financial statements
in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Overview
General
Seaspan was incorporated on May 3, 2005, in the Republic of the
Marshall Islands. Seaspan is a leading independent charter owner
and manager of containerships, which we charter primarily pursuant
to long-term, fixed-rate time charters with major container liner
companies. We primarily deploy our vessels on long-term,
fixed-rate time charters to take advantage of the stable cash flow
and high utilization rates that are typically associated with
long-term time charters. As of March 31, 2022, we operated a
fleet of 132 vessels that have an average age of approximately
eight years, on a TEU weighted basis.
Customers for our operating fleet as at March 31, 2022 were as

(1)As
at March 31, 2022, two vessels were off charter and commenced
charters with Hapag-Lloyd in April and May 2022.
Our primary objective for Seaspan is to continue to grow our
containership leasing business through accretive vessel
acquisitions as market conditions allow. Most of our customers’
containership business revenues are derived from the shipment of
goods from the Asia Pacific region to various overseas export
markets in the United States and in Europe.
We use the term “twenty-foot equivalent unit”, or TEU, the
international standard measure of containers, in describing the
capacity of our containerships, which are also referred to as our
“vessels”.

In April 2022, the Company accepted delivery of one 12,200 TEU
containership, which immediately commenced an 18-year charter with
a major liner customer.
In May 2022, the Company announced that it entered into
shipbuilding contracts for the construction of four 7,700 TEU
dual-fuel liquified natural gas newbuild containerships. The
vessels are anticipated to be delivered in the third and fourth
quarters of 2024. The transaction remains subject to certain
closing conditions.
Upon delivery, each newbuild containership will commence a
long-term charter with a leading global liner company.
Containership Sale Developments
In February 2022, the Company completed the sale of one 4,250 TEU
vessel for gross proceeds of $32.8 million. Seaspan continues to
manage the ship operations of this vessel pursuant to a management
agreement entered into in connection with the sale. As of
March 31, 2022, Seaspan had also entered into agreements for
five more vessel sales, one of which closed in April and three of
which closed in May 2022. The remaining vessel sale is expected to
complete in the second quarter of 2022, subject to closing
conditions.
In April 2022, the Company entered into agreements for the sale of
an additional four 4,250 TEU vessels, one of which completed in May
2022 and the remaining three sales are expected to be completed in
the second and third quarters of 2022, subject to closing
conditions.
Financing Developments
On February 16, 2022, the Company closed a new $250.0 million
3-year unsecured revolving credit facility (the “New Seaspan RCF”),
which replaces a $150.0 million 2-year unsecured revolving credit
facility. The New Seaspan RCF includes several new lenders and
improvements driven by the Company’s improving credit quality,
including greater liquidity, tenor and pricing.
In April 2022, the Company exercised purchase options under two of
its operating lease financing arrangements. The purchases are
expected to complete in April and May 2023, respectively, at a
predetermined purchase price of $52.7 million per
vessel.
On May 17, 2022, the Company entered into a note purchase agreement
to issue, in a private placement, $500 million aggregate principal
amount of fixed-rate, sustainability-linked senior secured notes as
part of the Company’s portfolio financing program (the “Program”).
The notes are expected to be issued in August 2022 and will
comprise three series, with interest rates ranging from 5.18% to
5.53% and maturities ranging from September 2032 to September 2037.
The senior secured notes contain certain sustainability features,
and are subject to adjustment based on the Company’s achievements
relative to certain key performance indicators. The proceeds from
the notes are intended to be used to pay down existing debt in the
Program, to fund capital expenditures and for other general
corporate purposes.
Dividends
On January 3, 2022, the Company declared dividends of $47.5 million
on its common shares to Atlas, which was paid on January 24,
2022.
On April 1, 2022, the Company declared dividends of $51.0 million
on its common shares to Atlas, which was paid on April 25,
2022.
Changes to Senior Management
In February 2022, Karen Lawrie resigned as General Counsel of the
Company.
Impact of Recent Developments in Ukraine
Since February 2022, as a result of the invasion of Ukraine by
Russia, economic sanctions have been imposed by the U.S., the EU,
the UK and a number of other countries on Russian financial
institutions, businesses and individuals, as well as certain
regions within the Donbas region of Ukraine. The nature and extent
of such sanctions continue to evolve. While it is difficult to
estimate the impact of current or future sanctions on the Company’s
business and financial position, these sanctions could adversely
impact the Company’s operations and/or financial results. Due to
volatility in the region caused by the invasion, with the support
of our customers, our vessels have ceased trading to Russia for the
time being. Given that Ukrainians constitute a significant number
of our seafarers, we also anticipate we may face challenges to
recruit seafarers in sufficient numbers to replace Ukrainians
seafarers who are not able to or permitted to leave their country,
as well as Ukrainians seafarers currently onboard our vessels who
request to disembark to return home. Finally, we expect that the
Russia-Ukraine conflict may exacerbate market volatility, and may
impact access to and pricing of capital.
Effects of COVID-19
The impacts of COVID-19 on our business continue unchanged since
the date of Atlas Corp.'s Annual Report on Form 20-F for year ended
December 31, 2021 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission on March 24, 2022 (the “2021 Annual Report”), with the
most significant impacts being on our ability to conduct crew
changes on our vessels and the costs associated therewith. Please
read “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and
Prospects—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations—Effects of COVID-19” in Atlas’
2021 Annual Report for more information.

Operating Results
Ownership Days are the number of days a vessel is owned and
available for charter. Ownership Days On-Hire are the number of
days a vessel is available to the charterer for use. The primary
driver of Ownership Days is the increase or decrease in the number
of vessels in our fleet.
Total Ownership Days increased by 495 days for the quarter ended
March 31, 2022, compared with the same period in 2021. The
increase was due to the delivery of seven vessels after
March 31, 2021 which contributed 630 days. This increase was
partially offset by 135 fewer ownership days from the sale of two
vessels.
Vessel Utilization represents the number of Ownership Days On-Hire
as a percentage of Total Ownership Days. The following table
summarizes Seaspan’s Vessel Utilization for the last eight
consecutive quarters:

Financial Results Summary
Revenue
Revenue increased by 16.0% to $387.2 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2022 compared with the same period in 2021.
The increase in revenue was primarily due to an increase in average
charter rates for its existing vessels and contribution from the
delivery of seven vessels after March 31, 2021.
Ship Operating Expense
Operating expense increased by 10.0% to $75.0 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2022 compared to 2021. The increase was
primarily due to a growth of our operating fleet from delivery of
seven vessels after March 31, 2021.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense
Depreciation and amortization expense increased by 4.3% to $78.4
million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to
2021. The increase was primarily due to the delivery of seven
vessels after March 31, 2021.
General and Administrative Expense
General and administrative expense increased by 28.4% to $12.2
million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to
2021.
The increase was primarily due to an increase in general corporate
expenses including non-cash share-based compensation.
Operating Lease Expense
Operating lease expense decreased by 7.1% to $32.9 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to 2021. The
decrease was primarily due to a lease reclassification from
operating to financing as a result of a purchase option being
exercised in January 2022.

(1)Total
borrowings is a non-GAAP financial measure which comprises of
long-term debt and other financing arrangements, excluding deferred
financing fees. The Company’s total borrowings include amounts
related to vessels under construction, consisting primarily of
amounts borrowed to pay installments to shipyards. The interest
incurred on borrowings related to the vessels under construction
are capitalized during the construction period. Total borrowings
and operating borrowings are non-GAAP financial measures that are
not defined under or prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Disclosure of total borrowings and operating borrowings is intended
to provide additional information and should not be considered a
substitute for financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S.
GAAP.
Interest expense decreased by $41.2 million to $186.7 million for
the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared with the same
period in 2021. The decrease is primarily due higher capitalized
interest related to an increase in vessels under
construction.
Gain on Derivative Instruments
The change in fair value of financial instruments resulted in a
gain of $37.4 million for the three months ended March 31,
2022 compared to a loss of $5.9 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2021. The gain for this period was primarily due to
an increase in the LIBOR forward curve and offset by swap
settlements.
The fair value of our interest rate swaps are subject to change
based on our company specific credit risk included in the discount
factor and current swap curve, including its relative steepness. In
determining the fair value, these factors are based on current
information available to us. These factors are expected to change
through the life of the instruments, causing the fair value to
fluctuate significantly due to the large notional amounts and
long-term nature of our derivative instruments. As these factors
may change, the fair value of the instruments is an estimate and
may deviate significantly from the actual cash settlements realized
during the term of the instruments. Our valuation techniques have
not changed, and we believe that such techniques are consistent
with those followed by other valuation practitioners.
The fair value of our interest rate swaps is most significantly
impacted by changes in the yield curve. Based on the current
notional amount and tenor of our interest rate swap portfolio, a
one percent parallel shift in the overall yield curve is expected
to result in a change in the fair value of our interest rate swaps
of approximately $54.3 million. Actual changes in the yield curve
are not expected to occur equally at all points and changes to the
curve may be isolated to periods of time. This steepening or
flattening of the yield curve may result in greater or lesser
changes to the fair value of our financial instruments in a
particular period than would occur had the entire yield curve
changed equally at all points.
The fair value of our interest rate swaps is also impacted by
changes in the company-specific credit risk included in the
discount factor. We discount our derivative instruments in a
liability position with reference to the corporate Bloomberg
industry yield curves and the fair value of our interest rate swaps
in an asset position is discounted by the counterparty credit
risk.
Our fair value instruments, including interest rate swaps and put
instruments were marked to market with all changes in the fair
value of these instruments recorded in “Change in fair value of
financial instruments” in our Interim Consolidated Statement of
Operations.
Please read “Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures
About Market Risk” in Atlas’ 2021 Annual Report for additional
information.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity
As of quarter ended March 31, 2022, we have total liquidity of
$801.0 million, consisting of $151.0 million of cash and cash
equivalents and $650.0 million of undrawn commitments under
available revolving credit facilities. Our primary short-term
liquidity needs are to fund our operating expenses, investments in
assets including vessels under construction, debt repayments, lease
payments, swap settlements, payment of quarterly dividends and
payments on our other financing arrangements. Our medium-term
liquidity needs primarily relate to debt repayments, vessel
purchase commitments, lease payments and payments on our other
financing arrangements. Our long-term liquidity needs primarily
relate to potential future acquisitions, lease payments, debt
repayments including repayment of our notes, the potential future
redemption of our preferred shares and payments on our other
financing arrangements. Please read note 8 “Long-term debt”, note 9
“Operating lease liabilities”, note 10 “Finance lease liabilities”,
note 11 “Other financing arrangements” in our quarter ended interim
Consolidated Financial Statements for additional
information.
We anticipate that our primary sources of funds for our short-term
liquidity needs will be cash from operations, and existing and new
credit facilities and other financing arrangements. We anticipate
our medium and long-term sources of funds will be from cash from
operations, new credit facilities, lease facilities and capital
markets financings to the extent available.

(1)Undrawn
revolving credit facilities as of March 31, 2022 included
$650.0 million (2021 - $450.0 million) available.
As of March 31, 2022, the Company’s liquidity was sufficient
to meet near-term requirements. As of March 31, 2022 the
Company had consolidated liquidity of $801.0 million, excluding
$5,974.7 million of committed but undrawn financings related to our
newbuild vessels, which represents an increase from $725.9 million
in the prior 2021 period. During the quarter we increased the size
of one of our revolving credit facilities from $150.0 million to
$250.0 million, as part of our ongoing focus on bolstering
liquidity.
Unencumbered Assets
The Company’s growing base of unencumbered assets is a fundamental
objective to achieving an investment grade credit rating, as well
as a potential source of liquidity through secured financing or
asset sales. Over the long-term, the Company expects its
unencumbered asset base to grow as it enhances its presence in the
unsecured credit markets, and also naturally as secured borrowings
mature or are prepaid.
In the short-term, the Company expects that it’s unencumbered asset
base may fluctuate as unencumbered assets may be sold or financed
from time to time, as part of normal course management of assets
and liquidity.
The following table provides a summary of our unencumbered fleet
and net book value over time.

Contracted Cash Flows
The Company’s focus on long-term contracted cash flows provides
predictability and reduces liquidity risk through economic cycles.
As of March 31, 2022, the Company had total gross contracted
cash flows of $18.1 billion, which includes components that are
accounted for differently, including i) minimum future revenues
relating to operating leases with customers, ii) minimum cash flows
to be received relating to financing leases with certain customers,
and iii) contracted cash flows underlying leases for newbuild
vessels which have not yet been delivered to customers. The gross
contracted cash flow at March 31, 2022, excludes $54.0 million
of lease payments from three vessels that are classified as “Assets
held for sale”. The following tables provide a summary of gross
contracted cash flows.

The Company is focused on continuing to allocate capital
selectively into opportunities that enhance the long-term value of
the business and provide attractive risk-adjusted returns on
capital, including evaluating synergistic opportunities in adjacent
businesses to diversify cash flow drivers.
The Company intends to continue its growth trajectory in 2022,
further growing its liquidity through capital recycling and
expansion of its revolving credit facilities, diversifying sources
of capital to enhance financial flexibility, managing leverage in
alignment with its long-term targets, and growing the value of its
unencumbered asset base.
The Company’s primary liquidity needs include funding our
investments in assets including our newbuild vessels under
construction, scheduled debt and lease payments, vessel purchase
commitments, potential future exercises of vessel purchase options,
and dividends on our common and preferred shares.

The Company’s approach is to target a long-term debt-to-asset ratio
of 50-60%, and to mitigate credit risk by diversifying its maturity
profile over as long a term as economically feasible, while
maintaining or reducing its cost of capital. The Company’s
debt-to-asset ratio was 54.4% as of March 31, 2022 compared to
44.7% at March 31, 2021, the increase was primarily due to
financing of newbuild vessels under construction.
The weighted average interest rate for March 31, 2022 was 3.6%
compared to 3.0% at March 31, 2021.
Our Credit Facilities
We primarily use our credit facilities to finance the construction
and acquisition of assets. As at March 31, 2022, our credit
facilities are secured by first-priority mortgages granted on 62 of
our vessels, together with other related security, such as
assignments of lease contracts, earnings for our assets,
assignments of insurances and management agreements for
vessels.
As of March 31, 2022, we had $2.1 billion outstanding under
our revolving credit facilities and term loan credit facilities
excluding deferred financing fees. In addition, there is $650.0
million available to be drawn under our revolving credit
facilities.
Interest payments on our term loan credit facilities are based on
LIBOR plus margins, which ranged between 0.4% and 2.3% as of
March 31, 2022. For a portion of one of our term loans,
interest is calculated based on the reference rate of KEXIM plus a
margin, which was 0.7% as of March 31, 2022. One of our term
loan credit facilities bears interest at a fixed rate of 7.7%. Two
of our term loans bear interest at a fixed rate of
3.8%.
The Company may prepay certain amounts outstanding without penalty,
other than breakage costs in certain circumstances. A prepayment
may be required as a result of certain events, including without
limitation the sale or loss of a vessel, a termination or
expiration of a charter (and the inability to enter into a
replacement charter acceptable to lenders within a prescribed
period of time). The amount that must be prepaid may be calculated
based on the loan to market value. In these circumstances,
valuations of the Company’s vessels are conducted on a “without
charter” basis as required under the credit facility
agreement.
Each credit facility contains a mix of financial covenants
requiring the Company to maintain minimum liquidity, tangible net
worth, interest and principal coverage ratios, and debt-to-assets
ratios, as defined. Certain facilities are guaranteed by an
intermediate parent entity, in which case the parent entity must
meet certain consolidated financial
covenants under those term loan facilities including maintaining
certain minimum tangible net worth, cash requirements and
debt-to-asset ratios.
Some of the facilities also have an interest and principal coverage
ratio, debt service coverage and vessel value requirement for the
subsidiary borrower. We were in compliance with these covenants at
March 31, 2022.

credit facilities as of March 31, 2022:

Notes
As of March 31, 2022, we had $2.0 billion outstanding under
notes, $1.5 billion of which was unsecured, with the remaining $0.5
billion secured by assets held by the Company.
We expect to continue to access the debt capital markets and issue
additional series of notes similar to those described below, the
proceeds of which may be used to repay other indebtedness, for
capital expenditures, or for other general corporate
purposes.
The Company's outstanding notes are summarized below.
3.75% 2025 Exchangeable Notes
As of March 31, 2022, we had $201.3 million outstanding under
our 3.75% exchangeable senior notes due 2025 (the “Exchangeable
Notes”). The Exchangeable Notes were issued in December 2020, and
are exchangeable at the holders’ option into an aggregate
15,474,817 Atlas common shares at an initial exchange price of
$13.005 per share, the cash equivalent or a combination thereof, as
elected by us, at any time on or after September 15, 2025, or
earlier upon the occurrence of certain market price triggers,
significant corporate events, or in response to early redemption
elected by us. The holders may require us to redeem the
Exchangeable Notes upon the occurrence of certain corporate events
qualifying as a fundamental change in the business. We may redeem
the Exchangeable Notes in connection with certain tax-related
events or on any business day on or after December 20, 2023 and
prior to September 15, 2025, if the last reported sale price of
Atlas shares is at least 130.0% of the exchange price during a
specified measurement period. A redemption of the Exchangeable
Notes is made at 100.0% of the principal amount, plus accrued and
unpaid interest. In connection with the Exchangeable Notes, we
entered into capped call transactions using $15.5 million in
proceeds from the issuance of the Exchangeable Notes to reduce the
potential dilution to Atlas shares and/or offset any cash payments
that are required upon an exchange, up to a maximum share
price.
Sustainability-Linked NOK Bonds
As of March 31, 2022, we had an aggregate $500.0 million
outstanding under our NOK Bonds. The NOK Bonds were issued in the
Nordic bond market in February 2021 ($200.0 million) and April 2021
($300.0 million), bear interest at 6.5% per annum, and mature in
February 2024 and April 2026, respectively. Upon maturity, 100.0%
of the principal balance is due, or 100.5% if certain
sustainability-linked targets are not achieved, except in the event
of certain eligible changes in tax law. As of March 31, 2022,
the sustainability-linked targets had been achieved, which targeted
capital expenditure for projects which mitigate carbon emissions,
including LNG vessel technology. Upon the occurrence of a change of
control or a delisting event (each as defined in the NOK Bonds),
each holder of NOK Bonds will have the right to require the Company
to purchase all or a portion of such holder’s NOK Bonds at a
purchase price equal to 101.0% of the principal amount thereof plus
accrued and unpaid interest, if any.
Blue Transition 5.50% 2029 Notes
As of March 31, 2022, we had $750.0 million outstanding under
our blue transition 5.5% senior unsecured notes due 2029 (the “5.5%
2029 Notes”). The 5.5% 2029 Notes were issued in July 2021, bear
interest at 5.5% per annum, payable semi-annually beginning on
February 1, 2022, and mature in 2029. The blue transition structure
includes designated uses of proceeds for carbon mitigating
projects, and were developed to align with the Company’s
sustainability efforts.
Sustainability-Linked Senior Secured Notes
As of March 31, 2022, we had $500.0 million outstanding under
our senior secured notes. The notes were issued pursuant to a U.S.
private placement with life insurance companies and comprise four
series. The Series A, Series C and Series D senior secured notes,
totaling $450.0 million, were issued in May 2021, with interest
rates ranging from 3.91% to 4.26% and maturities from June 2031 to
June 2036. The Series B senior secured notes, totaling $50.0
million, were issued in August 2021, with an interest rate of
3.91%, and mature in 2031. The senior secured notes contain certain
sustainability features, and are subject to adjustment based on
Seaspan’s achievements relative to certain key performance
indicators.
In May 2022, the Company entered into a note purchase agreement to
issue a further $500 million of senior secured notes. Please read
“Significant Developments During the Quarter ended March 31,
2022 and Subsequent—Financing Developments” for additional
information.
Operating Leases
As of March 31, 2022, we had 13 vessel operating lease
arrangements. Under 12 of the operating lease arrangements, we may
purchase the vessels for a predetermined fair value purchase price.
For the remaining lease, we may purchase the vessel at the end of
the lease term for the greater of the fair market value and a
predetermined amount. As of March 31, 2022, we had total
commitments, excluding purchase options, under vessel operating
leases from 2022 to 2029 of approximately $727.0
million.
Under our operating lease arrangements, subject to payment of a
specified termination sum, we may voluntarily terminate the
arrangement in certain circumstances. We may also be required to
terminate and pay a termination sum as specified in the agreements
in certain circumstances, such as a termination or expiry of a
charter (where we do not enter into a charter acceptable to the
counterparties, acting reasonably, within a required period of
time).
Based on current market conditions, the Company expects that it
will exercise the purchase options under the 12 operating lease
arrangements subject to purchase options. These purchase option
prices are $668.7 million in aggregate for the 12 vessels, and if
exercised, such purchases would be completed between April 2023 and
November 2026. If exercised, the term of the operating leases would
be shortened, and the amount paid by the Company under the
operating leases (excluding the purchase option price) would be
less than the total commitment outlined below. In January 2022, the
Company exercised its option to purchase one 10,000 TEU vessel and
the lease has been re-assessed as a financing lease for the
remainder of its term until the purchase is completed in January
2023 at the predetermined purchase price of $52.7 million. In April
2022, the Company exercised its options to purchase an additional
two 10,000 TEU vessels as described in “Item 2. Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations—Significant Developments During the Quarter ended March
31, 2022 and Subsequent” above.
As of March 31, 2022, the commitment under operating leases
relating to vessels was $727.0 million for 2022 to 2029, and for
other leases it was $2.5 million for the remainder of 2022 to 2024.
Total commitments under these leases are as follows:

Recently we have seen increasing consensus around expectations for
a long-term period of heightened inflation. These expectations
align with expectations for our business, as the cost of transport
is a major component of inflation, and the underlying demand for
our business is closely linked to both global GDP growth and
inflation. While we expect these factors to continue to be a net
positive for our business, we anticipate that expectations of
quantitative tightening and rising interest rates intended to
combat inflation may continue to cause volatility in the equity and
credit markets near-term, impacting the pricing of our publicly
traded securities, notwithstanding strong and stable underlying
performance and asset values.
For additional information about our credit and lease facilities
and other financing arrangements, including, among other things, a
description of certain related covenants, please read “Item 5.
Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—B. Liquidity and
Capital Resources” in the 2021 Annual Report.
Other Financing Arrangements
We enter into financing arrangements consisting of financing
sale-leaseback and failed sales arrangements with special purpose
entities, which are consolidated by us as primary beneficiaries.
These leases are provided by bank financial leasing owners who
legally own our vessels through special purpose entities and are
also granted other related security, such as assignments of time
charters, earnings for the vessels, insurances for the vessels and
management agreements for the vessels. We use these arrangements to
finance the construction and acquisition of vessels, as well as
certain of our operating vessels.
As of March 31, 2022, we have 26 vessels under these financing
arrangements, which provided for borrowings of approximately $1.3
billion excluding deferred financing fees. Under these agreements,
we may voluntarily terminate a lease agreement, subject to payment
of a termination fee in certain circumstances. We are also required
to prepay rental amounts, broken funding costs and other costs to
the lessor in certain circumstances, such as a termination or
expiry of a charter (where we do not enter into a charter
acceptable to the lessors within a required period of time). If we
default under these financing arrangements, our lessors could
declare all outstanding amounts to be immediately due and payable
and realize on the security granted under these
arrangements.

and other financing arrangements, including, among other things, a
description of certain related covenants, please read “Item 5.
