Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
Today, the Company’s indirect subsidiary, Spire STL Pipeline LLC, signed an amendment to a note purchase agreement dated November 6, 2019, governing Spire STL Pipeline’s $135 million aggregate principal amount private placement notes (the “2019 Notes”). The amendment acted to waive certain potential defaults that may arise as a result of the ruling issued by the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit on June 22, 2021. The guaranty the Company had earlier provided the holders of the 2019 Notes will remain in effect until two years after both (a) Spire STL Pipeline has authority from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to operate its pipeline free of any legal or governmental challenges or rights of appeal and (b) no default exists under the note purchase agreement, as amended.
The information contained in Item 7.01 of this report is being furnished and shall not be deemed filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of Section 18. Furthermore, the information contained in Item 7.01 of this report shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document filed pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
