Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
The disclosure set forth in Item 2.03 below is incorporated by reference in this Item 1.01.
Section 2 – Financial Information
Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
On April 8, 2020, a wholly owned subsidiary of Exelon Generation Company, LLC, Constellation NewEnergy, Inc. ("CNE"), as servicer, NewEnergy Receivables LLC (“NER”), a bankruptcy-remote, special purpose entity wholly-owned by CNE, as seller, MUFG Bank, LTD., as Agent, the Conduits party thereto (the "Conduits"), the financial institutions party thereto (together with the Conduits, the "Purchasers") and the Purchaser Agents party thereto as purchasing agents entered into a receivables purchase agreement (the “Receivables Facility”).
In connection with the Receivables Facility, and other related documents, CNE sells certain trade receivables and related rights ("Receivables") to NER on a revolving basis. Pursuant to the Receivables Facility, NER may from time to time request that the Purchasers fund incremental purchases of Receivables. In conjunction with each incremental purchase, NER transfers its interests in the Receivables to the Purchasers in exchange for a cash payment and deferred purchase price consideration to be received upon the collection of Receivables. CNE will continue to service the Receivables in exchange for a monthly servicing fee. The Receivables Facility expires on April 7, 2021, unless extended. The Receivables Facility has a maximum funding limit of $750 million.
On April 8, 2020, CNE received approximately $500 million in cash purchase price in connection with the initial incremental purchase under the Receivables Facility.
The facility is subject to reserve requirements and termination events that are customary for transactions of this type.
