Credit agreement and changes in debt | Credit agreements and changes in debt On May 14, 2021, HEI and Hawaiian Electric each entered into a separate agreement with a syndicate of nine financial institutions (the HEI Facility and Hawaiian Electric Facility, respectively, and together, the Credit Facilities) to amend and restate their respective previously existing revolving unsecured credit agreements. The $175 million HEI Facility’s initial termination date was May 14, 2026. The $200 million Hawaiian Electric Facility’s initial termination date was May 13, 2022, but on February 18, 2022, the PUC approved Hawaiian Electric’s request to extend the term of the $200 million Hawaiian Electric Facility to May 14, 2026. In addition to extending the term, Hawaiian Electric also received PUC approval to exercise its options of two one-year extensions of the commitment termination date and to increase its aggregate revolving commitment amount from $200 million to $275 million, should there be a need. On April 21, 2023, HEI and Hawaiian Electric executed Amendment No. 1 to the Credit Facilities (Amendment). The Amendment was executed to reflect the transition from the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (LIBOR) to the Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) as the benchmark interest rate for non-Alternate Base Rate (ABR) Loans under the Credit Facilities. On May 14, 2023, HEI and Hawaiian Electric exercised their first of two, one-year extensions to the commitment termination date with eight of the nine financial institutions to extend the Credit Facilities to May 14, 2027. The committed capacities under the HEI Facility and Hawaiian Electric Facility are $175 million and $200 million, respectively, through May 14, 2026, and step down to approximately $157 million and $180 million, respectively, through May 14, 2027. After multiple downgrades of the Companies’ credit ratings to ratings below investment grade, by Fitch, Moody’s and S&P due to the Maui windstorm and wildfires, on August 15, 2023, HEI made an initial $2.5 million draw on its $175 million existing revolving credit facility to repay maturing commercial paper. By August 23, 2023, HEI drew its remaining and Hawaiian Electric drew its full committed capacity on their respective existing revolving credit facilities, totaling $175 million and $200 million, respectively. The draws were made to provide access to liquidity and support the Company’s restoration efforts on Maui. The cash proceeds were primarily invested in highly liquid short-term investments, were used to repay $100 million of Hawaiian Electric’s long-term debt that matured on November 1, 2023, and used for general corporate purposes. Changes in debt. As of September 30, 2023, the Company and Hawaiian Electric were in compliance with all applicable financial covenants. HEI private placement. On March 16, 2023, HEI entered into a note purchase agreement (HEI NPA) under which HEI has authorized the issue and sale of $100 million of unsecured senior notes that were drawn on May 30, 2023. The proceeds of the notes were used to repay the $100 million term loan facility on May 31, 2023. The terms of the notes are as follows:
|  | HEI Series 2023A |  | HEI Series 2023B
Aggregate principal amount |  | $39 million |  | $61 million
Fixed coupon interest rate |  | 6.04% |  | 6.10%
Maturity date |  | 6/15/2028 |  | 6/15/2033
Interest on the notes is paid semiannually on June 15th and December 15th. The HEI NPA contains certain restrictive financial covenants that are substantially the same as the financial covenants contained in HEI’s revolving unsecured credit facility, as amended. The HEI notes may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time at the prepayment price of the principal amount, together with interest accrued to the date of prepayment plus a “Make-Whole Amount,” as defined in the agreements. HEI term loan. On October 20, 2022, HEI entered into a term loan facility in the aggregate principal amount of $100 million. On December 28, 2022, HEI drew $35 million on the term loan, and on March 31, 2023, HEI drew the remaining $65 million at an initial interest rate of 5.81% for an initial one month interest period. On May 31, 2023, HEI fully repaid the term loan facility at which time it was terminated. Borrowings under the facility bore interest at Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR), as defined in the agreement, plus an applicable margin and a SOFR spread adjustment. The term loan facility contained certain restrictive financial covenants that were substantially the same as the financial covenants contained in the HEI Facility. Utilities private placement. On January 10, 2023, the Utilities executed through a private placement pursuant to separate Note Purchase Agreements (the NPAs), the following unsecured senior notes bearing taxable interest (2023 Notes). The 2023 Notes had a delayed draw feature and the Utilities drew down all the proceeds on February 9, 2023.
| Series 2023A | Series 2023B | Series 2023C
Aggregate principal amount | $90 million | $40 million | $20 million
Fixed coupon interest rate |  |  |
Hawaiian Electric | 6.11% | 6.25% | 6.70%
Hawaii Electric Light | 6.25% | — | —
Maui Electric | 6.25% | — | —
Maturity date |  |  |
Hawaiian Electric | 2/9/2030 | 2/9/2033 | 2/9/2053
Hawaii Electric Light | 2/9/2033 | — | —

Principal amount by company |  |  |
Hawaiian Electric | $40 million | $40 million | $20 million
Hawaii Electric Light | $25 million | — | —
Maui Electric | $25 million | — | —
The 2023 Notes include substantially the same financial covenants and customary conditions as Hawaiian Electric’s credit agreement. Hawaiian Electric is also a party as guarantor under the NPAs entered into by Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric. The Utilities did not obtain any of the proceeds at execution and instead drew down all the proceeds on February 9, 2023. The proceeds were used to finance their respective capital expenditures, repay short-term debt used to finance or refinance capital expenditures and/or reimburse funds used for the payment of capital expenditures. The 2023 Notes may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time at the prepayment price of the principal amount plus a “Make-Whole Amount” as defined in the NPAs.
