ITEM 2.03 | CREATION OF A DIRECT FINANCIAL OBLIGATION OR AN OBLIGATION UNDER AN OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENT OF A REGISTRANT. |
As previously reported, on July 6, 2022, Oncor Electric Delivery Company LLC (“Oncor”) entered into a Term Loan Credit Agreement (the “Term Loan Agreement”) among Oncor, as borrower, the lenders listed therein (the “Lenders”), Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation (“SMBC”), as administrative agent for the Lenders and as sole bookrunner, a Lender and a joint lead arranger, and the other financial institutions party thereto. On August 29, 2022, Oncor borrowed the entire $650 million aggregate principal amount available under the Term Loan Agreement and no additional amounts remain available for borrowing under the Term Loan Agreement. The Term Loan Agreement matures on August 30, 2023.
Oncor intends to use the proceeds from the borrowing for general corporate purposes, including to pay in full the $482 million principal amount outstanding of its 7.00% Debentures due September 1, 2022 (the “Debentures”), plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Debentures.
Loans under the Term Loan Agreement may be, at Oncor’s option, in the form of a “Term SOFR Loan”, “Daily Simple SOFR Loan” or “ABR Loan”, each as defined in the Term Loan Agreement. Term SOFR Loans bear interest at an adjusted term secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) (calculated based on one-month term SOFR as of a specified date, plus an adjustment of 0.10% (the “SOFR Adjustment”)) plus a spread of 0.60% (the “Applicable Margin”). Daily Simple SOFR Loans bear interest at an adjusted daily simple SOFR (calculated based on daily simple SOFR as of a specified date, plus the SOFR Adjustment) plus the Applicable Margin. ABR Loans bear interest, for any day, at a rate equal to the greatest of: (1) the prime rate publicly announced by SMBC on such date, (2) the federal funds effective rate on such date plus 0.50%, and (3) daily simple SOFR on such date, plus 1.00%.
Additional details regarding the Term Loan Agreement are contained in Item 1.01 and Item 2.03 of Oncor’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 8, 2022 (“Prior 8-K”) and are incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing discussion of the terms of the Term Loan Agreement is not complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the Term Loan Agreement filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Prior 8-K.
