before they would be available to pay the indebtedness and liabilities of Dominion Energy, including the Notes. As of September 30, 2021, our subsidiaries had approximately $21.4 billion principal amount of outstanding long-term debt (including securities due within one year and credit facility borrowings). The indenture does not limit our ability to incur additional debt, including debt incurred by our subsidiaries. The indenture also does not restrict us from acquiring or combining with entities that have outstanding indebtedness, which entities may become subsidiaries of Dominion Energy.
The indenture does not limit the principal amount of the Notes or any of our other debt that may be issued.
The Notes will be issued in uncertificated form and you will not receive any certificate or other instrument evidencing our indebtedness. All funds you invest in the Notes, together with interest accrued thereon, and redemptions, if any, will be recorded on a register maintained by the agent bank.
The indenture provides that we, the trustee and the investors waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to the indenture or the Notes.
Minimum Investment
Because of the relatively high cost of maintaining small investments, we reserve the right to redeem your investment if the investment balance is less than the minimum required investment balance of $1,000 for three consecutive months. If you are an employee, the minimum required initial investment balance of $1,000 must be attained within ten months. Thereafter, the $1,000 minimum investment balance must be maintained. If the minimum investment balance is not attained or maintained, we may redeem the principal amount of your Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest, and mail the proceeds to your registered address. You will be notified if your Notes will be redeemed and you will be permitted 60 days within which to make additional investments to increase your investment balance to the applicable minimum required investment before your investment is redeemed. The minimum required investment balance is subject to change at the discretion of the Committee without prior notice to investors.
Maximum Outstanding Investment
The Committee has established a maximum outstanding investment for any one investor of $5,000,000. If the amount of your outstanding investment exceeds the maximum for three consecutive months, we may notify you in writing that we intend to redeem the amount of your investment in excess of $5,000,000. You will then have 30 days to redeem the excess portion of your investment. If you do not do so within a 30-day period, we may redeem the amount we have specified and mail a check for the proceeds to the registered holder of the Notes, less any tax withholding, if applicable, and any other fees discussed in this prospectus. Interest on the redeemed amount shall cease to accrue on and after the effective date of the redemption. The maximum outstanding investment in the Notes for any one investor is subject to change at the discretion of the Committee without prior notice to investors.
We May Redeem the Notes at Our Option
We may also elect to redeem the entire amount of, or any portion of, the outstanding Notes. Any such partial redemption of outstanding Notes will be effected by lot or pro rata or by any other method that is deemed fair and appropriate by the agent bank. We generally will give you 30-days’ prior written notice if the Notes are to be redeemed in whole or in part. As discussed above, we may also redeem your Notes if your investment balance is below the minimum amount or exceeds the maximum amount as determined by the Committee.
In addition, as provided in the Dominion Energy Reliability Investment Plan, we may also redeem, at any time at our option, the Notes of any investor who is not or is no longer eligible to invest in the Notes, who has abused or misused the investment or redemption provisions applicable to the Notes or whose investments are otherwise inconsistent with the
