c) Techgen Techgen is a Mexican company that operates a natural gas-fired combined cycle electric power plant in the Pesquería area of the State of Nuevo León, Mexico, with a power capacity of 900 megawatts. As of December 31, 202 4, Tenaris held 22% of Techgen’s share capital, and its affiliates, Ternium and Tecpetrol (both controlled by San Faustin), beneficially owned 48% and 30% respectively. As of December 31, 202 4, the carrying value of Tenaris’s ownership stake in Techgen was approximately $59.8 million. Techgen entered into certain transportation capacity agreements and an agreement for the purchase of clean energy certificates. As of December 31, 202 4, Tenaris’s exposure under these agreements amounted to $36.3 million and $16.6 million respectively. Techgen’s sponsors granted certain subordinated loans to Techgen. As of December 31, 202 4, the aggregate outstanding principal amount under these subordinated loans was $306.5 million, of which $67.4 million correspond to Tenaris’s contribution. On February 13, 2019, Techgen entered into a $640 million syndicated loan agreement with several banks to refinance an existing loan, resulting in the release of certain corporate guarantees previously issued by Techgen’s shareholders to secure the replaced facility. The existing syndicated loan agreement is “non-recourse” on the sponsors. Techgen’s obligations thereunder are guaranteed by a Mexican security trust (covering shares, assets, accounts and contract rights), account pledges and certain direct agreements –customary for these type of transactions–. The commercial terms and conditions governing the purchase by the Company’s Mexican subsidiary, Tamsa, of 22% of the energy generated by Techgen remain substantially unchanged. Under the loan agreement, Techgen is committed to maintain a debt service reserve account covering debt service becoming due during two consecutive quarters; such account is funded by stand-by letters of credit issued for the account of Techgen’s sponsors in proportion to their respective participations in Techgen. Accordingly, the Company applied for stand-by letters of credit covering 22% of the debt service coverage ratio, which as of December 31, 202 4, amounted to $10.9 million.
