With the Pertamina sale still unapproved, Harvest borrowed $79.8 million at 11% for two years, issued at 96 cents on the dollar and with warrants over 686,761 shares at $10 attached. Part of it was paid for by rolling in an existing convertible note. Borrowing this expensively against a sale that had not closed is what later made the sale's failure fatal.

Harvest persuaded holders of $16.0 million of its 8.25% convertible notes to swap them for 2,875,357 shares at an effective $5.56, plus 161,603 more shares in place of a $1.3 million cash interest payment. Debt was being turned into equity at a discount to the notes' conversion price - cheaper than repaying it, but dilutive.

A $60 million two-year term loan from MSD Energy Investments, an arm of Michael Dell's family office, at 10% rising to 15% after nine months. Rates like that on unsecured money say the company could not get bank credit against assets it did not control.
