On May 30, 2012, FSEP Term Funding, LLC (“FSEP Funding”), a wholly-owned financing subsidiary of FS Energy and Power Fund (“FSEP”), and Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch (“Deutsche Bank”), as administrative agent and as the lender party thereto, entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to FSEP Funding’s revolving credit facility (as amended by the Amendment, the “Credit Facility”).
The Amendment increased the aggregate borrowings available under the Credit Facility by $50 million to $100 million. Pursuant to the terms of the Credit Facility, borrowings thereunder may be designated as Tranche A borrowings in an amount up to $50 million (the “Tranche A Commitment”) or as Tranche B borrowings in an amount up to $50 million (the “Tranche B Commitment”). Pricing under the Credit Facility is based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) for an interest period equal to the weighted average LIBOR interest period of eligible securities owned by FSEP Funding, with Tranche A Commitments bearing interest at the rate of LIBOR + 1.60% per annum and Tranche B Commitments bearing interest at the rate of LIBOR + 1.85% per annum.
FSEP Funding is subject to a non-usage fee with respect to the Tranche A Commitment to the extent the aggregate principal amount available under the Tranche A Commitment has not been borrowed. Beginning two months after May 30, 2012, FSEP Funding will be subject to a non-usage fee with respect to the Tranche B Commitment to the extent the aggregate principal amount available under the Tranche B Commitment has not been borrowed. FSEP Funding paid a setup fee and incurred certain other customary costs and expenses in connection with entering into the Amendment.
No other material terms of the Credit Facility changed in connection with the Amendment.
The foregoing description of the Amendment as set forth in this Item 1.01 is a summary only and is qualified in all respects by the provisions of the Amendment, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
| Item 2.03. | Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant. |
