1 In December 2022, a subsidiary of NorthStar Clean Energy entered into a $185 million unsecured term loan credit agreement. Under this credit agreement, a subsidiary of NorthStar Clean Energy borrowed $85 million in 2023. As of June 30, 2023, there was $185 million of loans outstanding bearing an interest rate of 6.102 percent under the unsecured term loan credit agreement. Issuance of Convertible Senior Notes: In May 2023, CMS Energy issued an aggregate principal amount of $800 million convertible senior notes that bear an interest rate of 3.375 percent and mature in May 2028 unless redeemed, repurchased, or converted earlier. Unamortized debt costs associated with this issuance were $13 million at June 30, 2023. The convertible senior notes rank equal in right of payment to any of CMS Energy’s unsecured indebtedness that is not subordinated. There are no sinking fund requirements for the notes. Holders of the convertible senior notes may convert their notes at their option in accordance with the conditions outlined in the related indenture. CMS Energy will settle conversions of the notes by paying cash up to the aggregate principal amount of the notes to be converted and paying or delivering, as the case may be, cash, shares of CMS Energy common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of CMS Energy common stock, at its election, in respect of the remainder, if any, of its conversion obligation in excess of the aggregate principal amount of the notes being converted. The conversion rate for the notes is initially 13.5194 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $73.97 per share of common stock. The conversion rate will be subject to adjustment for anti-dilutive events and fundamental change and redemption provisions as described in the related indenture. CMS Energy may redeem for cash all or any portion of the notes, at its option, on or after May 6, 2026 if the last reported sale price of its common stock has been at least 130 percent of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days during any 30 consecutive trading day period. Holders of the convertible senior notes may require CMS Energy to repurchase for cash all or any portion of their notes if a fundamental change, as outlined in the related indenture, occurs. In both cases, CMS Energy will redeem or repurchase the notes at a price equal to 100 percent of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed or repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest. Presented in the following table is a summary of major long-term debt retirements during the six months ended June 30, 2023:
| Principal (In Millions) | Interest Rate (%) | Retirement Date | Maturity Date
Consumers |  |  |  |  |
Term loan facility |  | $ | 1,000 |  | variable | February 2023 | January 2024
First mortgage bonds |  | 300 |  | 0.350 | June 2023 | June 2023

First mortgage bonds due 2060 |  | 150 |  |  | 2.500 |
On a consolidated basis, CMS Energy’s repurchase of Consumers’ first mortgage bonds was accounted for as a debt extinguishment and resulted in a pre-tax gain of $84 million, which was recorded in other income on its consolidated statements of income. Consumers’ outstanding debt held by its parent as a result of CMS Energy’s repurchase of Consumers’ first mortgage bonds was $235 million, net of unamortized discount and fees, which was recorded as long-term debt – related parties on Consumers’ consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2023.

1 There were no borrowings under this facility during the six months ended June 30, 2023. 2 This letter of credit facility is available to Aviator Wind Equity Holdings. For more information regarding Aviator Wind Equity Holdings, see Note 11, Variable Interest Entities. 3 Obligations under these facilities are secured by first mortgage bonds of Consumers. There were no borrowings under these facilities during the six months ended June 30, 2023.Regulatory Authorization for Financings: Consumers is required to maintain FERC authorization for financings. Any long-term issuances during the authorization period are exempt from FERC’s competitive bidding and negotiated placement requirements. In March 2023, FERC granted Consumers the authority to issue securities between April 1, 2023 and March 31, 2025. Short-term Borrowings: Under Consumers’ commercial paper program, Consumers may issue, in one or more placements, investment-grade commercial paper notes with maturities of up to 365 days at market interest rates. These issuances are supported by Consumers’ revolving credit facilities and may have an aggregate principal amount outstanding of up to $500 million. While the amount of outstanding commercial paper does not reduce the available capacity of the revolving credit facilities, Consumers does not intend to issue commercial paper in an amount exceeding the available capacity of the facilities. At June 30, 2023, there were no commercial paper notes outstanding under this program. In December 2022, Consumers renewed a short-term credit agreement with CMS Energy, permitting Consumers to borrow up to $500 million. At June 30, 2023, there were no outstanding borrowings under the agreement. An unregulated subsidiary of Consumers entered into a short-term credit agreement with NorthStar Clean Energy, permitting it to borrow up to $40 million, from NorthStar Clean Energy, at an interest rate of one-month Term SOFR plus 1.750 percent. At June 30, 2023, outstanding borrowings under the agreement were $6 million bearing an interest rate of 6.924 percent. Consumers’ Supplier Financing Program: Under a supplier financing program, Consumers agrees to pay a bank, acting as its payment agent, the stated amount of confirmed invoices from participating suppliers on the original maturity dates of the invoices. The supplier invoices that have been confirmed as valid under the program require payment in full within 60 days of the invoice date. Consumers does not provide collateral or a guarantee to the bank in support of its payment obligations under the agreement, nor does it pay a fee for the service. Consumers or the bank may terminate the supplier financing program agreement upon 30 days prior written notice to the other party. Amounts recorded as trade payables under the program in accounts payable on CMS Energy’s and Consumers’ consolidated balance sheets were $23 million at June 30, 2023 and less than $1 million at December 31, 2022. Dividend Restrictions: At June 30, 2023, payment of dividends by CMS Energy on its common stock was limited to $6.9 billion under provisions of the Michigan Business Corporation Act of 1972. Under the provisions of its articles of incorporation, at June 30, 2023, Consumers had $2.0 billion of unrestricted retained earnings available to pay dividends on its common stock to CMS Energy. Provisions of the Federal Power Act and the Natural Gas Act appear to restrict dividends payable by Consumers to the amount of Consumers’ retained earnings. Several decisions from FERC suggest that, under a variety of circumstances, dividends from Consumers on its common stock would not be limited to amounts in Consumers’ retained earnings. Any decision by Consumers to pay dividends on its common stock in excess of retained earnings would be based on specific facts and circumstances and would be subject to a formal regulatory filing process. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, Consumers paid $305 million in dividends on its common stock to CMS Energy. Issuance of Common Stock: Presented in the following table are details of CMS Energy’s forward sales contracts under its equity offering program at June 30, 2023:
|  |  | Forward Price Per Share
Contract Date | Maturity Date | Number of Shares | Initial | June 30, 2023

August 29, 2022 | December 31, 2024 | 1,783,388 |  | 68.18 |  |  | 68.84 |
Under these contracts, CMS Energy may either settle physically by issuing shares of its common stock at the then-applicable forward sale price specified by the agreement or settle net by delivering or receiving cash or shares. CMS Energy may settle the contracts at any time through their maturity dates, and presently intends to physically settle the contracts by delivering shares of its common stock. The initial forward price in the forward equity sale contracts includes a deduction for commissions and will be adjusted on a daily basis over the term based on an interest rate factor and decreased on certain dates by certain predetermined amounts to reflect expected dividend payments. No amounts are recorded on CMS Energy’s consolidated balance sheets until settlements of the forward equity sale contracts occur. If CMS Energy had elected to net share settle or net cash settle the contracts as of June 30, 2023, CMS Energy would not have been required to deliver shares or pay cash.
