Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On December 20, 2024 (the “Effective Date”), Talen Energy Supply, LLC (the “Borrower”), a direct subsidiary of Talen Energy Corporation (the “Company”), amended its credit agreement (as amended, the “Amended Credit Agreement”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meaning provided in the Amended Credit Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Report”). The Amended Credit Agreement (i) provides for a $900,000,000 senior secured stand-alone letter of credit facility (the “Stand-Alone Letter of Credit Facility”), (ii) reprices and extends the maturity of the Revolving Credit Facility, (iii) reprices the existing Initial Term B Loans, and (iv) implements certain other amendments as set forth below.
Concurrently with entry into the Amended Credit Agreement, the Borrower also (i) repaid the Term C Loans and permanently terminated the associated letter of credit commitments and (ii) permanently terminated the $75 million senior secured bilateral letter of credit facility under that certain Letter of Credit Facility Agreement, dated as of May 17, 2023, by and among the Borrower, Barclays Bank PLC, as administrative agent and LC issuer, and Citibank, N.A., as collateral agent (the “Barclays Facility”).
The Revolving Credit Facility maturity date has been extended from May 17, 2028 to December 20, 2029. The Revolving Credit Facility will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to either (1) a fluctuating rate equal to the highest of (A) the Federal Funds Effective Rate on such day, plus 0.50%, (B) The Wall Street Journal “U.S. Prime Rate,” and (C) the one-month Adjusted Term SOFR Rate, plus 1%, plus, in each case, the Applicable ABR Margin; or (2) the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate for the interest period, plus the Applicable Term SOFR Margin, provided, that both the Applicable ABR Margin and the Applicable Term SOFR Margin applicable to the Revolving Credit Facility will be subject to two 25 basis point reductions if the Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio is no greater than 2.00:1.00 and 1.50:1.00, respectively.
Under the Revolving Credit Facility, the Company will be required to pay (i) a per annum fee in respect of each issued Revolving Letter of Credit equal to the product of the Applicable Term SOFR Margin and the average daily amount of such Revolving Letters of Credit, (ii) a commitment fee of 0.375% per annum on the undrawn portion of the Revolving Commitments (subject to one stepdown to 0.25% if the Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio is no greater than 2.00:1.00), and (iii) a fronting fee of 0.125% on the aggregate amount of outstanding Revolving Letters of Credit.
The Stand-Alone Letter of Credit Facility is available for the issuance of U.S. dollar denominated standby and trade letters of credit (letters of credit under such facility, “Stand-Alone Letters of Credit”) and will mature on December 20, 2026. Under the Stand-Alone Letter of Credit Facility, the Company will be required to pay (i) a per annum fee in respect of each issued Stand-Alone Letter of Credit equal to the product of the Applicable Term SOFR Margin and the average daily amount of such Stand-Alone Letters of Credit, (ii) a commitment fee of 0.375% per annum on unused Stand-Alone Letter of Credit Facility commitments (subject to one stepdown to 0.25% if the Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio is no greater than 2.00:1.00), and (iii) and a fronting fee of 0.125% on the aggregate amount of outstanding Stand-Alone Letters of Credit.
The Initial Term B Loans will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to either (1) a fluctuating rate equal to the highest of (A) the Federal Funds Effective Rate on such day, plus 0.50%, (B) The Wall Street Journal “U.S. Prime Rate,” and (C) the one-month Adjusted Term SOFR Rate, plus 1%, plus, in each case, the Applicable ABR Margin; or (2) the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate for the interest period, plus the Applicable Term SOFR Margin, provided, that both the Applicable ABR Margin and the Applicable Term SOFR Margin applicable to the Initial Term B Loans will be subject to two 25 basis point reductions if the Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio is no greater than 1.65:1.00 and 1.40:1.00, respectively.
The Amended Credit Agreement contains substantially the same representations and warranties, guarantees, affirmative covenants, negative covenants, and customary events of default as in the Company’s credit agreement as in effect prior to the amendment described above, except for the following:
•capacity to make certain restricted payments was increased, including increasing each of the unlimited ratio, applicable amount, annual IPO, and general baskets;
•capacity to make certain investments was increased, including increasing each of the unlimited ratio, applicable amount, and general baskets;
•the provisions governing the asset sale mandatory prepayment “sweep” were modified to include two consolidated first lien net leverage based step downs reducing the level of such “sweep” and the existing reinvestment right relating to such proceeds was also amended;
•the threshold for the "springing" financial covenant governing the Revolving Credit Facility and the Stand-Alone Letter of Credit Facility was increased to 50% of the Total Revolving Commitment and revised to exclude all outstanding Revolving Letters of Credit;
•cross defaults were limited to cross acceleration; and
•certain other modifications made in entering into the Amended Credit Agreement.
