Utility Revolving Credit Agreement and Term Loan Credit Agreement
On the Effective Date, the Utility entered into a $3.5 billion revolving credit agreement (the “Utility Revolving Credit Agreement”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Citibank, N.A. as
co-administrative
agents and Citibank, N.A., as the designated agent. The Utility Revolving Credit Agreement has a maturity date three years after its effective date, subject to two
one-year
extensions at the option of the Utility.
Borrowings under the Utility Revolving Credit Agreement will bear interest based on the Utility’s election of either (1) LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 1.375% to 2.50% based on the Utility’s credit rating or (2) the base rate plus an applicable margin of 0.375% to 1.50% based on the Utility’s credit rating. In addition to interest on outstanding principal under the Utility Revolving Credit Agreement, the Utility is required to pay a commitment fee to the lenders in respect of the unutilized commitments thereunder, ranging from 0.25% to 0.50% per annum depending on the Utility’s credit rating. The Utility Revolving Credit Agreement has a letter of credit sublimit in an amount of approximately $1.25 billion. The Utility may also pay customary letter of credit fees based on letters of credit issued under the Utility Revolving Credit Agreement.
The Utility’s obligations under the Utility Revolving Credit Agreement are secured by the issuance of a first mortgage bond, issued pursuant to the Fifth Supplemental Indenture to the Mortgage Indenture, secured by a first lien on substantially all of the Utility’s real property and certain tangible personal property related to its facilities, subject to certain exceptions, and which will rank
with the Utility’s other first mortgage bonds.
The Utility Revolving Credit Agreement includes usual and customary provisions for revolving credit agreements of this type, including covenants limiting, with certain exceptions, (1) liens, (2) indebtedness, (3) sale and leaseback transactions, and (4) other fundamental changes. In addition, the Utility Revolving Credit Agreement will require that the Utility maintain a ratio of total consolidated debt to consolidated capitalization of at most 65% as of the end of each fiscal quarter.
In the event of a default by the Utility under the Utility Revolving Credit Agreement, including cross-defaults relating to specified other debt of the Utility or any of its significant subsidiaries in excess of $200 million, the designated agent may, with the consent of the required lenders (or upon the request of the required lenders, shall), declare the amounts outstanding under the Utility Revolving Credit Agreement, including all accrued interest, payable immediately. For events of default relating to insolvency, bankruptcy or receivership, the amounts outstanding under the Utility Revolving Credit Agreement become payable immediately.
The Utility may voluntarily repay outstanding loans under the Utility Revolving Credit Agreement at any time without premium or penalty, other than customary “breakage” costs with respect to eurodollar rate loans. Any voluntary prepayments made by the Utility will not reduce the commitments under the Utility Revolving Credit Agreement.
In addition, on the Effective Date, the Utility obtained a $3.0 billion secured term loan under a term loan credit agreement (the “Utility Term Loan Credit Agreement”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, the other lenders from time to time party thereto. The facilities under the Utility Term Loan Credit Agreement consist of a $1.5 billion
364-day
term loan facility (the “Utility
364-Day
Term Loan Facility”) and a $1.5 billion
18-month
term loan facility (the “Utility
18-Month
Term Loan Facility”). The maturity date for the
364-Day
Term Loan Facility is 364 days after the effective date of the Utility Term Loan Credit Agreement and the maturity date for the
18-Month
Term Loan Facility is eighteen months after the effective date of the Utility Term Loan Credit Agreement.
Borrowings under the Utility Term Loan Credit Agreement will bear interest based on the Utility’s election of either (1) LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 2.00% with respect to the
364-Day
Term Loan Facility and 2.25% with respect to the
18-Month
Term Loan Facility, or (2) the base rate plus an applicable margin of 1.00% with respect to the
364-Day
Term Loan Facility and 1.25% with respect to the Utility
18-Month
Term Loan Facility.
The Utility’s obligations under the Utility Term Loan Credit Agreement are secured by the issuance of a first mortgage bond, issued pursuant to the Fifth Supplemental Indenture to the Mortgage Indenture, secured by a first lien on substantially all of the Utility’s real property and certain tangible personal property related to its facilities, subject to certain exceptions, and which will rank
with the Utility’s other first mortgage bonds.
The Utility Term Loan Credit Agreement includes usual and customary provisions for term loan agreements of this type, including covenants limiting, with certain exceptions, (1) liens, (2) indebtedness, (3) sale and leaseback transactions, and (4) other fundamental changes. In addition, the Utility Term Loan Credit Agreement will require that the Utility maintain a ratio of total consolidated debt to consolidated capitalization of at most 65% as of the end of each fiscal quarter.
In the event of a default by the Utility under the Utility Term Loan Credit Agreement, including cross-defaults relating to specified other debt of the Utility or any of its significant subsidiaries in excess of $200 million, the administrative agent may, with the consent of the required lenders (or upon the request of the required lenders, shall), declare the amounts outstanding under the Utility Term Loan Credit Agreement, including all accrued interest, payable immediately. For events of default relating to insolvency, bankruptcy or receivership, the amounts outstanding under the Utility Term Loan Credit Agreement become payable immediately.
The Utility is required to prepay outstanding term loans under the Utility Term Loan Credit Agreement (with all outstanding term loans made under the Utility
364-Day
Term Loan Facility being paid first), subject to certain exceptions, with 100% of the net cash proceeds of certain securitization transactions. The Utility may voluntarily repay outstanding loans under the Utility Term Loan Credit Agreement at any time without premium or penalty, other than customary “breakage” costs with respect to eurodollar rate loans.

In addition, on June 25, 2020, the Corporation priced a public offering of 14,545,455 equity units (the “Equity Units”), with each Equity Unit having a stated amount of $100.00 (the “Equity Units Offering” and, together with the Common Stock Offering, the “Equity Offerings”). Each Equity Unit offered is comprised of (i) a prepaid forward stock purchase contract (each, a “Purchase Contract”) of the Corporation and (ii) a 1/48,000th undivided beneficial ownership interest in specified
zero-coupon
U.S. treasury securities (the “Treasury Strips”) maturing on a quarterly basis from, and including, August 15, 2020 through, and including, August 15, 2023 (each, a “Treasury Strip Component”).
The Common Stock Offering and the Equity Units Offering closed on July 1, 2020, and the Corporation issued and sold a total of 423,372,629 shares of its common stock and 14,545,455 Equity Units. The offering and sale of the Shares and Equity Units were made pursuant to the Corporation’s Registration Statement on Form
S-3
(File No.
333-236629-01).
The Corporation issued the Equity Units and Purchase Contracts under the Purchase Contract and Unit Agreement dated as of July 1, 2020 (the “Purchase Contract Agreement”), between the Corporation and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as purchase contract agent (the “Purchase Contract Agent”), and as
attorney-in-fact
for holders of Purchase Contracts. On any business day during the period beginning on, and including, the business day immediately following July 1, 2020 to, but excluding, the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding August 16, 2023, a holder of 48,000 Equity Units (or any integral multiple thereof) will have the right to withdraw the Treasury Strips evidenced by such Equity Units and hold the underlying Purchase Contracts separately rather than in the form of Equity Units (any such purchase contract, a “Separate Purchase Contract”).
The foregoing description of the Equity Units and the following descriptions the Purchase Contracts and the Treasury Strips are summaries and are not meant to be complete descriptions of the Equity Units, the Purchase Contracts and the Treasury Strips. Each summary is qualified in its entirety by the Purchase Contract Agreement (including the forms of Equity Unit and Purchase Contract) and the Custodial Agreement (as defined below), as applicable, which are filed as Exhibits 4.9, 4.10, 4.11 and 4.12, respectively, to this Current Report on Form
8-K
and are incorporated herein by reference.
Unless settled early at the holder option, for each Purchase Contract the Corporation will deliver to holders on August 16, 2023 a number of shares of its Common Stock. The number of shares of common stock issuable upon settlement of each Purchase Contract will be determined as follows:
| • | if the Applicable Market Value (as defined below) of the common stock is greater than the threshold appreciation price (approximately $11.6375), then the holder will receive 8.5929 shares of common stock for each Purchase Contract (the “Minimum Settlement Rate”); |
| • | if the Applicable Market Value of the common stock is greater than or equal to the reference price (approximately $9.5000) but less than or equal to the threshold appreciation price, then the holder will receive a number of shares of common stock for each Purchase Contract equal to the Equity Unit stated amount of $100, divided by the Applicable Market Value; and |
| • | if the Applicable Market Value of the common stock is less than the reference price, then the holder will receive 10.5263 shares of common stock for each Purchase Contract (the “Maximum Settlement Rate”). |
The “Applicable Market Value” means the arithmetic average of the VWAPs (as defined in the Purchase Contract Agreement) per share of the Corporation’s common stock on each of the 20 consecutive trading days beginning on, and including, the 21st scheduled trading day immediately preceding August 16, 2023. The Minimum Settlement Rate and the Maximum Settlement Rate are each subject to adjustment as set forth in the Purchase Contract Agreement.
At any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding August 16, 2023, a holder of 48,000 Equity Units (or any integral multiple thereof) or a holder of one or more Separate Purchase Contracts, may elect to settle such Equity Units or Separate Purchase Contracts early and receive a number of shares of common stock per Purchase Contract equal to the Minimum Settlement Rate.
In addition, at any time prior to the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding August 16, 2023, if a “Fundamental Change” (as defined in the Purchase Contract Agreement) occurs, a holder of 48,000 Equity Units (or any integral multiple thereof) or a holder of one or more Separate Purchase Contracts, may elect to settle such Equity Units or Separate Purchase Contracts early and receive a number of shares of common stock per Purchase Contract equal to the “Fundamental Change Early Settlement Rate” as defined in, and in accordance with, the Purchase Contract Agreement. In either case, upon early settlement at a holder’s election of a Purchase Contracts held as components of Equity Units, the Custodian (as defined below) will deliver the Treasury Strips evidenced by those Equity Units on the second business day following the applicable early settlement date.
The Treasury Strips underlying the Equity Units will be held by The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as agent for the holders of Equity Units (the “Custodian”), and will be subject to the terms of the Custodial Agreement dated as of July 1, 2020 (the “Custodial Agreement”), between the Custodian and Purchase Contract Agent. The Custodian will, upon instructions from the Purchase Contract Agent, forward to each holder of Equity Units the amount it receives from the U.S. government in respect of each Treasury Strip underlying the Equity Units owned by such holder on the business day immediately following the date such Treasury Strip matures on February 15, May 15, August 15 and November 15 of each year, with such payments commencing on, and including, August 17, 2020, and ending on, and including, August 16, 2023. The Corporation expects that the amount payable per Equity Unit per full quarter as described in the immediately preceding sentence will be equal to $1.3750, which represents an annual rate of return on the stated amount per Equity Unit of 5.50%. The Corporation expects that the amount payable per Equity Unit on August 17, 2020 will be equal to $0.6875.
The Corporation will have no obligation, responsibility or liability with respect to the purchase of Treasury Strips and their delivery into the custody of the Custodian, the performance or
non-performance
of the duties of the Custodian or any payment of the Treasury Strips Components.
