Credit Facilities and Short-Term Debt

9. Credit Facilities and Short-Term Debt

 

The Registrants borrow, as necessary, by the issuance of commercial paper and by borrowings under their revolving credit agreements.

 

On June 12, 2026, OGE Energy and OG&E each entered into new $650.0 million unsecured five-year revolving credit facilities to replace existing facilities. Each of these new facilities is scheduled to terminate on June 12, 2031. However, each of OGE Energy and OG&E have the right to request an extension of the revolving credit facility termination date under their respective facility for an additional one-year period, which extension option can be exercised up to two times. All such extension requests are subject to majority lender group approval (and only the commitments of those lenders that consent to such extension (or that agree to replace any non-consenting lender) will be extended for such additional period).

 

Borrowings under OGE Energy's new facility bear interest at rates equal to either the SOFR, plus a margin of 0.80 percent to 1.475 percent, or an alternate base rate, plus a margin of 0.0 percent to 0.475 percent. OGE Energy's new facility has a facility fee that ranges from 0.075 percent to 0.275 percent. Interest rate margins and facility fees are based on OGE Energy's then-current senior unsecured credit ratings.

 

Borrowings under OG&E's new facility bear interest at rates equal to either the SOFR, plus a margin of 0.69 percent to 1.275 percent, or an alternate base rate, plus a margin of 0.0 percent to 0.275 percent. OG&E's new facility has a facility fee that ranges from 0.06 percent to 0.225 percent. Interest rate margins and facility fees are based on OG&E's then-current senior unsecured credit ratings.

 

Each of the new facilities provides for issuance of letters of credit, provided that (i) the aggregate outstanding credit exposure shall not exceed the amount of the revolving credit facilities and (ii) the aggregate outstanding stated amount of letters of credit issued under such facility shall not exceed $100.0 million for each of OGE Energy and OG&E. Advances under the new facilities may be used to refinance existing indebtedness and for working capital and general corporate purposes of the respective borrower and its subsidiaries, including commercial paper liquidity support, letters of credit, acquisitions and distributions.

 

Each of the facilities is unsecured and, under certain circumstances, may be increased (by up to $150.0 million in each case for OGE Energy and OG&E) to a maximum revolving commitment limit of $800.0 million for each of OGE Energy and OG&E. Advances of revolving loans and letters of credit under the facilities are subject to certain conditions precedent, including the accuracy of certain representations and warranties and the absence of any default or unmatured default.
