On July 15, 2020, FS Energy and Power Fund (the “Company”) satisfied the conditions to effectiveness for Amendment No. 2 (the “JPMorgan Amendment”) to that certain Senior Secured Credit Agreement, dated as of August 16, 2018 (as amended, the “JPMorgan Facility”), with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent, Société Générale, as co-collateral agent, Bank of Montreal, as documentation agent, and the lenders and conduit support providers party thereto. Such conditions to the effectiveness of the JPMorgan Amendment included, among others, (i) repaying and discharging in full all obligations (including outstanding principal, accrued interest, and other fees and expenses) under that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of December 2, 2019, as amended, among Gladwyne Funding LLC (“Gladwyne Funding”), the Company’s wholly-owned special-purpose financing subsidiary, as borrower, Goldman Sachs Bank USA, as administrative agent, and the lenders from time to time party thereto and (ii) joining Gladwyne Funding, EP Synergy Investments, Inc., Gladwyne Funding’s wholly-owned subsidiary, and FS Power Investments, LLC, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, as guarantors and grantors that guarantee and secure with substantially all of their assets the obligations under both the JPMorgan Facility and the Indenture, dated as of August 6, 2018, with U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. Upon its effectiveness, among other things, the JPMorgan Amendment sets the minimum shareholders’ equity the Company is required to maintain as of the end of each fiscal quarter at $900,000,000 for the remaining life of the facility. The JPMorgan Amendment also increases the interest rate margin due under the facility (i) for loans bearing interest by reference to the adjusted eurocurrency rate, from 2.75% per annum to 3.00% per annum and (ii) for loans bearing interest by reference to the alternate base rate, from 1.75% per annum to 2.00% per annum. Additionally, the JPMorgan Amendment provides capacity for up to $150,000,000 in commitment increases, upon the Company’s request and with lender participation, and expands borrowing base capacity by permitting the inclusion of certain performing preferred stock in the borrowing base.
The Company incurred certain fees, costs and expenses in connection with the closing of the JPMorgan Amendment.
The foregoing description of the JPMorgan Amendment is a summary only and is qualified in all respects by the agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 10.01 and incorporated by reference herein.
