Item 8.01 Other Events
On February 27, 2023, PPL Electric Utilities Corporation ("PPL
Electric") entered into an underwriting agreement (the
"Underwriting Agreement") with Barclays Capital Inc., PNC Capital
Markets LLC, Scotia Capital (USA) Inc. and U.S. Bancorp
Investments, Inc., as representatives of the underwriters (the
"Underwriters"), relating to the offering and sale by PPL Electric
of $600,000,000 of First Mortgage Bonds, 5.00% Series due 2033 (the
"2033 Bonds") and $750,000,000 of First Mortgage Bonds, 5.25%
Series due 2053 (the "2053 Bonds" and, together with the 2033
Bonds, the "Bonds").
The Bonds were issued on March 2, 2023, under PPL Electric's
Indenture (the "2001 Indenture"), dated as of August 1, 2001, to
The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee, as previously supplemented
and as supplemented by Supplemental Indenture No. 24 thereto (the
"Supplemental Indenture"), dated as of March 1, 2023 (collectively,
the "Indenture"). The Bonds will be secured by the lien of the
Indenture, which creates a lien on substantially all of PPL
Electric's distribution properties and certain of its transmission
properties, subject to certain exceptions and exclusions, as
described therein.
The 2033 Bonds are due May 15, 2033 and the 2053 Bonds are due May
15, 2053, each subject to early redemption. PPL Electric will use
the net proceeds from the sale of the Bonds to repay debt and for
general corporate purposes.
The Bonds were offered and sold under PPL Electric's Registration
Statement on Form S-3 on file with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (Registration No. 333-253290-03).
A copy of the Underwriting Agreement is attached as Exhibit 1(a) to
this report and incorporated herein by reference. The Supplemental
Indenture and Officer's Certificate are filed with this report as
Exhibits 4(a) and 4(b), respectively.
