Due to market conditions, primarily as a result of COVID-19, the Company drew upon the facility in the first quarter of 2020 as a precaution and to proportionally increase cash on hand. As of May 7, 2020, the Company had $250 million outstanding under its Revolving Credit Facility. Tax-Exempt Bonds On March 11, 2020, NRG issued $59 million in aggregate principal amount of NRG Dunkirk 2020 1.30% tax-exempt refinancing bonds due 2042 ("the Bonds"). The Bonds are guaranteed on a first-priority basis by each of NRG’s current and future subsidiaries that guarantee indebtedness under its credit agreement. The Bonds are secured by a first priority security interest in the same collateral that is pledged for the benefit of the lenders under NRG’s credit agreement, which consists of a substantial portion of the property and assets owned by NRG and the guarantors. The collateral securing the Bonds will, at the request of NRG, be released if NRG satisfies certain conditions, including receipt of an investment grade rating on its senior, unsecured debt securities from two out of the three rating agencies, subject to reversion if those rating agencies withdraw their investment grade rating of the Bonds or any of NRG’s senior, unsecured debt securities or downgrade such rating below investment grade. The Bonds are subject to mandatory tender and purchase on April 3, 2023 and have a final maturity date of April 1, 2042. NRG used the net proceeds from the offering to redeem the existing principal amount of outstanding Dunkirk Power LLC 5.875% tax exempt bonds due 2042. Non-Recourse Debt Cottonwood - Letters of Credit On January 4, 2019, the Company entered into an $80 million credit agreement to issue letters of credit, which is currently supporting the Cottonwood facility lease.
