The Bonds are issued under and entitled to the benefits of and secured by the Amended and Restated Indenture of Mortgage and Deed of Trust dated as of January&#160;1, 2023 (the &#8220;Amended and Restated Mortgage Indenture&#8221;) between SIGECO and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (the &#8220;Trustee&#8221;), as amended by the First Supplemental Indenture dated as of March&#160;15, 2023 (the &#8220;First Supplemental Indenture&#8221;), between SIGECO and the Trustee relating to the Bonds (the Amended and Restated Mortgage Indenture, as amended by the First Supplemental Indenture is referred to as the &#8220;Indenture&#8221;). Accordingly, the Bonds will be secured ratably with SIGECO&#8217;s first mortgage bonds currently outstanding and those that may be issued in the future by the collateral pledged to secure such bonds. The proceeds of the Bonds will be used for general corporate purposes, including repaying short-term debt and refunding long-term debt at maturity or otherwise. Until the net proceeds from the sale of the Bonds have been used, SIGECO may invest them temporarily in interest-bearing obligations, including investments in the Company&#8217;s money pool. </p> <p style="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Interest will accrue on the Tranche&#160;A Bonds at 4.98% per annum and will be payable on March&#160;15 and September&#160;15 of each year, beginning on September&#160;15, 2023 and continue until the maturity date of March&#160;15, 2028, or earlier prepayment.

SIGECO may prepay at any time all, or from time to time any part of, the Bonds, in an amount not less than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds or tranche of Bonds then outstanding in the case of a partial prepayment, at 100% of the aggregate principal amount so prepaid together with interest accrued thereon to the date of such prepayment plus a make-whole amount, if any, determined for the prepayment date with respect to such principal amount. The Bonds will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (&#8220;Securities Act&#8221;), or under the securities laws of any jurisdiction. The Bonds will be subject to certain restrictions on transfer and may only be sold in transactions exempt from, or not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act. </p> <p style="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Bond Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties of SIGECO and the Purchasers, respectively.
