ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.
|
On April 28, 2021, Consolidated Edison, Inc. (“Con Edison”) entered into a Credit Agreement, dated as of April 28, 2021, (the “April 2021 Credit Agreement”) among Con Edison, the lenders party thereto (the “Lenders”), TD Securities (USA) LLC as Sole Lead Arranger and Sole Book Runner and Toronto Dominion (Texas) LLC, as Administrative Agent. A copy of the April 2021 Credit Agreement is included as an exhibit to this report, and the description of the April 2021 Credit Agreement that follows is qualified in its entirety by reference to the April 2021 Credit Agreement.
Under the April 2021 Credit Agreement, the Lenders are committed until May 18, 2021, subject to certain conditions, to provide to Con Edison a $500 million variable-rate 364-day term loan. Con Edison has the option to prepay any term loans issued under the April 2021 Credit Agreement prior to maturity. Subject to certain exceptions, the commitments and any term loans issued under the April 2021 Credit Agreement are subject to mandatory termination and prepayment with the net cash proceeds of certain debt issuances by Con Edison or certain asset sales by Con Edison or its subsidiaries. Con Edison intends to use the borrowings under the April 2021 Credit Agreement to repay Con Edison’s 2.00 percent debentures, Series 2016 A, that mature on May 15, 2021.
The Lenders’ obligations to make loans under the April 2021 Credit Agreement are subject to certain conditions, including that there be no payment or bankruptcy default. The commitments are not subject to maintenance of credit rating levels. Upon a change of control of Con Edison, or upon an event of default, the Lenders may terminate their commitments and declare the loans outstanding under the April 2021 Credit Agreement immediately due and payable.
Events of Default include Con Edison exceeding at any time a ratio of consolidated debt to consolidated total capital of 0.65 to 1; Con Edison or its subsidiaries having liens on its or their assets in an aggregate amount exceeding five percent of Con Edison’s consolidated total capital, subject to certain exceptions; Con Edison or its material subsidiaries failing to make one or more payments in respect of material financial obligations (in excess of an aggregate $150 million of debt or derivative obligations other than non-recourse debt); the occurrence of an event or condition which results in the acceleration of the maturity of any material debt (in excess of an aggregate $150 million of debt other than non-recourse debt) or enables the holders of such debt to accelerate the maturity thereof; and other customary events of default.
