(the &#8220;Company&#8221;) entered into a $250&#160;million Term Loan Agreement (the &#8220;Term Loan Agreement&#8221;) among JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and the banks party thereto. The Company borrowed the full $250&#160;million at closing and intends to use the proceeds thereof for general corporate purposes. The maturity date for the borrowings under the Term Loan Agreement is September&#160;21, 2023. </p> <p style="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Borrowings under the Term Loan Agreement bear interest, at the Company&#8217;s option, at a rate equal to either (i)&#160;Term SOFR (as defined in the Term Loan Agreement), which includes an adjustment of 0.10% per annum plus a margin of 1.50% or (ii)&#160;the Alternate Base Rate (as defined in the Term Loan Agreement), plus a margin of 0.50%. The Term Loan Agreement contains certain covenants, including a covenant that requires the Company not to exceed a ratio of debt (excluding, among other things, transition and system restoration bonds) to consolidated capitalization (excluding, among other things, <span style="white-space:nowrap">non-cash</span> reductions to net income) of 65%. The Term Loan Agreement provides a temporary increase of the permitted ratio under this covenant to 70% if the Company or its subsidiaries experiences certain damages from a natural disaster in its service territory and the Company certifies to the administrative agent that the system restoration costs incurred by the Company and its subsidiaries in connection with that natural disaster are reasonably likely to exceed $100&#160;million in a consecutive twelve-month period, all or part of which the Company or one of its subsidiaries intend to seek to recover through securitization financing. Such temporary increase in the financial ratio covenant would be in effect from the date the Company delivers its certification until the earliest to occur of (i)&#160;the completion of the securitization financing, (ii)&#160;the first anniversary of such certification or (iii)&#160;the revocation by the Company of such certification. </p> <p style="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Borrowings under the Term Loan Agreement may be voluntarily prepaid without penalty or premium, other than customary breakage costs related to prepayments of loans that bear interest based on Term SOFR. The Term Loan Agreement also provides a mechanism to replace Term SOFR or other then-applicable interest rate benchmark if it is no longer available. </p> <p style="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Borrowings under the Term Loan Agreement are subject to acceleration upon the occurrence of events of default that the Company considers customary. The Term Loan Agreement also provides for the payment of customary fees, including administrative agent fees and other fees. </p> <p style="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Term Loan Agreement described above is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this report and is incorporated by reference herein.

The aggregate amount of the prepayment was approximately $250.1&#160;million. Following the prepayment, the Term Loan Agreement and all obligations thereunder were terminated in its entirety. </p> <p style="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and its affiliates have performed depository and other banking, investment banking, trust, investment management and advisory services for the Company and its affiliates from time to time for which they have received customary fees and expenses and may, from time to time, engage in transactions with and perform services for the Company and its affiliates in the ordinary course of its business.
