Item 1.01Entry into Material Definitive Agreement
On May 4, 2022, Edison International entered into a Second Amendment (the “Edison Second Amendment”) to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of May 17, 2018 (as amended by the First Amendment, dated as of April 30, 2021, the “Edison Credit Agreement”), with each lender named therein, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent. The Edison Second Amendment extends the termination date of the Edison Credit Agreement from May 17, 2025 to May 17, 2026, leaving one additional one year extension option after giving effect to the Edison Second Amendment. The Edison Second Amendment also implements language consistent with U.S. syndicated loan market practice to use an adjusted forward-looking term rate based on the secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) as the benchmark rate, as a replacement for the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”).
Also on May 4, 2022, Southern California Edison Company (“SCE”) entered into a Second Amendment (the “SCE Second Amendment” and, together with the Edison Second Amendment, the “Second Amendments”) to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of May 17, 2018 (as amended by the First Amendment, dated as of April 30, 2021, and as supplemented by the Commitment Increase Supplement, dated as of April 30, 2021, the “SCE Credit Agreement”), with each lender named therein, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent. The SCE Second Amendment extends the termination date of the SCE Credit Agreement from May 17, 2025 to May 17, 2026, leaving one additional one year extension option after giving effect to the SCE Second Amendment. The SCE Second Amendment also implements language consistent with U.S. syndicated loan market practice to use an adjusted forward-looking term rate based on SOFR as the benchmark rate, as a replacement for LIBOR.
Many of the lenders that are party to the Second Amendments or their affiliates have in the past performed, currently perform and may in the future from time to time perform, investment banking, financial advisory, lending and/or commercial banking services for Edison International and SCE and certain of their respective subsidiaries and affiliates, for which service they have in the past received, currently receive and may in the future receive, customary compensation and reimbursement of expenses.
The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Second Amendments, filed as Exhibit 10.1 and 10.2 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.
