Commitments
The Company has a supply agreement to purchase elemental phosphorus (P4) from a supplier through 2023. The contract price is tied to the contract year cost times a multiplier, subject to a market-driven benchmark price adjustment, which is generally settled once per year. The Company did not purchase the anticipated minimum pounds of P4 during the year ended December 31, 2022, 2021 Successor Period, 2021 Predecessor Period or 2020 Predecessor Period. However, the Company has no obligation to record a liability, as there is no financial penalty owed to the vendor. Costs incurred under this supply agreement were $43.9 million, $7.7 million, $36.1 million and $31.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2022, 2021 Successor Period, 2021 Predecessor Period and 2020 Predecessor Period, respectively.
The Company also has an agreement to purchase various types of capital equipment up to $5.0 million through October 2027. In 2022, the Company paid $2.0 million to the supplier and the remaining $3.0 million will be paid through October 2027.
