Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On August 11, 2006, UGI Utilities, Inc. ("UGI Utilities"), a wholly owned subsidiary of UGI Corporation, entered into an unsecured, revolving Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") among UGI Utilities, as borrower, Citibank, N.A., as agent, Wachovia Bank, National Association, as syndication agent, and Citizens Bank of Pennsylvania, Credit Suisse, Cayman Islands Branch, Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Mellon Bank, N.A., PNC Bank, National Association, and the other financial institutions from time to time parties thereto (collectively, the "Lenders").
Under and subject to the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, the Lenders have committed to provide loans to UGI Utilities in an aggregate amount of $350 million and upon the request of UGI Utilities may increase the amount of loans to a maximum aggregate amount of $450 million. UGI Utilities may use the proceeds of loans made under the Credit Agreement for general corporate purposes, including for its subsidiar ies. Concurrently with entering into the Credit Agreement, UGI Utilities borrowed approximately $87 million under the Credit Agreement to repay and terminate existing revolving credit agreements that had provided for up to $110 million of borrowings by UGI Utilities.
At UGI Utilities’ election from time to time, its borrowings under the Credit Agreement will bear interest at a rate equal to (i) the Eurodollar Rate plus the applicable margin and fees due under the Credit Agreement ("eurodollar rate advances") or (ii) the higher of the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50% or the base rate of interest publicly announced by Citibank in New York, N.Y., in each case plus the applicable fees due under the Credit Agreement. The margin on eurodollar rate advances and fees due under the Credit Agreement will be based on the credit ratings assigned to certain indebtedness of UGI Utilities.
UGI Utilities may also solicit bids from the Lenders for a competitive bid borrowing by submitting a notice to th e agent setting forth, among other things, the aggregate amount of such proposed competitive bid borrowing and, depending on the type of borrowing requested, either the applicable interest period or maturity date. Within a specified time frame, any Lender may elect to submit a bid to participate in such competitive bid borrowing upon terms set forth in its bid. Before any bids are accepted, UGI Utilities may elect to cancel the competitive bid borrowing. The aggregate amount of advances outstanding at any time (including competitive bid advances) shall not exceed the amount of the Lenders’ commitments.
The Credit Agreement has a termination date of August 10, 2007. The termination date may be extended to August 11, 2011 if, on or before August 3, 2007, UGI Utilities satisfies certain requirements relating to approval of the Credit Agreement by the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission.
UGI Utilities may voluntarily prepay its borrowings under the Credit Agreement, in whole or in part, without any premium or penalty.
The Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and affirmative and negative covenants for agreements of this type, including, among others, covenants regarding the maintenance of a financial ratio, covenants relating to financial reporting, compliance with laws, payment of taxes, preservation of existence, books and records, maintenance of properties and insurance, limitations on liens, restrictions on mergers and restrictions on sales of all or substantially all of UGI Utilities’ assets, and limitations on changes in the nature of UGI Utilities’ business.
The Credit Agreement provides for customary events of default, including, among other things, the event of nonpayment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts, a representation or warranty proving to have been incorrect when made, failure to perform or observe covenants within a specified period of time, a cross-default to other UGI Utilities’ indebtednes s of a specified amount, the bankruptcy or insolvency of UGI Utilities, monetary judgment defaults of a specified amount, a change of control of UGI Utilities, and ERISA defaults resulting in liability of a specified amount. In the event of a default by UGI Utilities, the requisite number of Lenders (or the agent at their request) may declare all amounts owed under the Credit Agreement immediately due and payable and terminate the Lenders’ commitments to make loans under the Credit Agreement. For defaults related to insolvency and receivership, the commitments of the Lenders will be automatically terminated and all outstanding loans and other amounts will become immediately due and payable. Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, a 2% interest penalty may apply to any outstanding amount not paid when due or that remains outstanding while an event of default exists.
A copy of the Credit Agreement, filed as Exhibit 10.1 to UGI Utilities’ Form 8-K filed on August 17, 2006, is incorpora ted herein by reference. The summary of the terms of the Credit Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Credit Agreement.
