The weighted average interest rate at June 30, 2020 was 0.2 percent for both Con Edison and CECONY. At December 31, 2019, Con Edison had $1,692 million of commercial paper outstanding of which $1,137 million was outstanding under CECONY’s program. The weighted average interest rate at December 31, 2019 was 2.0 percent for both Con Edison and CECONY. At June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, no loans were outstanding under the Companies' December 2016 credit agreement (Credit Agreement). An immaterial amount of letters of credit were outstanding under the Credit Agreement as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. In July 2020, Con Edison borrowed $820 million pursuant to an April 2020 credit agreement that was amended in June 2020 (as amended, the Supplemental Credit Agreement). Con Edison used the proceeds from the borrowing for general corporate purposes, including repayment of short-term debt bearing interest at variable rates. Pursuant to the Supplemental Credit Agreement, the borrowing bears interest at a variable rate and was converted to a term loan that matures on March 29, 2021 (the “Term Loan”). Con Edison has the option to prepay the Term Loan. Subject to certain exceptions, the Term Loan under the Supplemental Credit Agreement is subject to mandatory prepayment with the net cash proceeds of debt or equity issuances by Con Edison or its non-regulated subsidiaries. Pursuant to the Supplemental Credit Agreement, upon a change of control of, or upon an event of default by Con Edison, the lenders may declare the Term Loan 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; having liens on its assets in an aggregate amount exceeding five percent of its consolidated total capital, subject to certain exceptions; Con Edison or any of its subsidiaries failing to make one or more payments in respect of other material financial obligations (in excess of an aggregate $150 million of debt or derivative obligations other than non-recourse debt) when due or within any applicable grace period; 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.
