Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On September 19, 2019, MMA Energy Holdings, LLC (the Borrower), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of MMA Capital Holdings, Inc. (the Company) entered into a credit agreement (the Credit Agreement) with the lenders party thereto and East West Bank, as administrative agent and collateral agent (the Agent), initially providing for a $125,000,000 revolving credit facility (the Facility Amount) of which $70,000,000 has been committed and $30,000,000 has been advanced as of the initial closing date. The committed amount may be increased up to the full Facility Amount after the initial closing date upon the joinder of additional lenders. The Facility Amount may be expanded by up to an additional $50,000,000, subject to the agreement of the participating lenders and certain other customary conditions. The maturity date of the Credit Agreement is the three-year anniversary of the initial closing date, subject to one 12-month extension solely to allow refinancing or orderly repayment of facility.
Obligations of the Borrower under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Company and secured by specified assets of the Borrower (specifically excluding its ownership interest in certain joint ventures) and a pledge of all of the equity in the Borrower through pledge and security documentation. Availability and amounts advanced under the Credit Agreement are subject to compliance with a borrowing base comprised of assets that comply with certain eligibility criteria, and includes late-stage development, construction and permanent loans to finance renewable energy projects and cash. For each asset other than cash, the applicable advance rates vary, between 60-90%, depending on the type of eligible renewable energy project loan multiplied by the Borrowers ownership interest in the entity that owns such loan. The cash advance rate is 95%.
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at one-month London Interbank Offered Rate adjusted for statutory reserve requirements (subject to a 1.5% floor) plus 2.75% per annum. The Borrower has also agreed to pay certain fees and expenses and to provide certain indemnities, all of which are customary for such financings.
The Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants binding on the Borrower that are customary for credit facilities of this type. Additionally, the Credit Agreement includes the following financial covenants of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries: minimum debt service coverage ratio, maximum debt to net worth, minimum consolidated net worth and minimum consolidated net income.
The Credit Agreement contains events of default that are customary for facilities of this type, including, but not limited to, nonpayment of principal, interest, fees and other amounts when due, existence of a borrowing base deficiency, violation of covenants, breach of representations or warranties, bankruptcy events, material judgments, invalidity of the loan documents or cessation of the Agents lien on the collateral, material adverse change, change of control, collateral performance trigger events, breach of financial covenants, default under the Companys guarantee or termination of management arrangements.
