Borrowings under the New Senior Secured Credit Facility are expected to bear interest as follows: (i) for base rate loans under the New Revolving Facility, a base rate equal to the highest of (a) the prime rate, (b) the federal funds rate plus 50 basis points and (c) the one-month LIBOR rate plus 100 basis points (the highest of (a), (b) and (c), the “base rate”), plus a leverage-based margin and (ii) for Eurodollar rate loans under the New Revolving Facility, the applicable LIBOR rate plus a leverage-based margin. MGE is also expected to be required to pay a leverage-based commitment fee of between 37.5 and 50 basis points for unused commitments under the New Revolving Facility. Interest on base rate loans is expected to be payable quarterly in arrears. Interest on Eurodollar rate loans of three months or less is expected to be payable at the end of each applicable interest period and for Eurodollar rate loans of more than three months, interest is expected to be payable at intervals of three months duration after the beginning of such interest period and at the end of the applicable interest period.
MGE’s obligations under the New Senior Secured Credit Facility are expected to be guaranteed on a first priority lien basis by each of MGE’s subsidiaries that guarantee its existing indebtedness and that are expected to guarantee the Notes and to be secured by substantially all of the assets of MGE and its guarantor subsidiaries other than certain excluded assets.
The New Senior Secured Credit Facility is expected to contain customary covenants applicable to MGE and its restricted subsidiaries, including covenants governing: incurrence of indebtedness, incurrence of liens, payment of dividends and other distributions, investments, asset sales, affiliate transactions and mergers or consolidations. Additionally, the New Senior Secured Credit Facility is expected to include financial maintenance covenants pertaining to total leverage, senior secured leverage and minimum fixed charge coverage ratios, as well as a minimum liquidity covenant.
