TENNESSEE VALLEY AUTHORITY (NYSE:TVE) Files An 8-K Entry into a Material Definitive AgreementItem 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On September 28, 2018, TVA entered into a $1,000,000,000 September Maturity Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) that amends and restates the $1,000,000,000 Spring Maturity Credit Agreement dated as of June 25, 2012, and amended as of December 12, 2012 and June 2, 2015. Toronto Dominion (Texas) LLC serves as Administrative Agent for the Credit Agreement, and The Toronto-Dominion Bank, New York Branch, serves as Letter of Credit Issuer and a Lender. Other Lenders include Bank of America, N.A., Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, New York Branch, First Tennessee Bank National Association, Morgan Stanley Bank, N.A., and The Bank of New York Mellon. TD Securities (USA) LLC serves as Lead Arranger and Bookrunner.
The Credit Agreement allows TVA to access up to $1,000,000,000 in either loans or letters of credit and will expire on September 28, 2023, unless the maturity date is extended in accordance with the terms of the agreement. The interest rate on any borrowing under the Credit Agreement is variable based on market factors and the rating of TVA’s senior unsecured long-term non-credit enhanced debt. TVA is required to pay an unused facility fee on the portion of the $1,000,000,000 against which TVA has not borrowed or committed under letters of credit. This fee, along with the fee on any letter of credit, may fluctuate depending on the rating of TVA’s senior unsecured long-term non-credit enhanced debt.
A copy of the Credit Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.1.
