VISTRA ENERGY CORP. (OTCMKTS:VSTE) Files An 8-K Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
Item 1.01.

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Effective August 17, 2017 (the “Effective Date”), Vistra Operations Company LLC (“Vistra Operations”), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Vistra Energy Corp. (the “Company”), entered into an amendment (the “Repricing Amendment”) to that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of October 3, 2016 (as amended from time to time, the “Credit Facilities”), among Vistra Operations, as Borrower, and Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch, as Administrative and Collateral Agent, and the other parties named therein. As a result of the Repricing Amendment, the interest rate on the outstanding $995 million 2016 Incremental Term Loans (as defined in the Credit Facilities) was reduced and, effective as of the Effective Date, bears interest at a rate equal to, at Vistra Operations’ option, either LIBOR (subject to a LIBOR floor of 0.75%) plus an applicable margin of 2.75% or a base rate plus an applicable margin of 1.75%. The 2016 Incremental Term Loans are prepayable at any time without premium or penalty; provided that there will be a 1.00% pre-payment premium in connection with any repricing of such term loans that reduces the interest rate prior to February 17, 2018. The Repricing Amendment did not change the interest rate on the (i) outstanding $2.836 billion Initial Term Loans, (ii) outstanding $650 million Initial Term C Loans and (iii) Revolving Credit Loans (each as defined in the Credit Facilities). The Initial Term Loans, Initial Term C Loans and Revolving Credit Loans will continue to bear interest at a rate equal to, at Vistra Operations’ option, either LIBOR (in the case of the Initial Term Loans and Initial Term C Loans, subject to a LIBOR floor of 0.75%) plus an applicable margin of 2.75% or a base rate plus an applicable margin of 1.75%.

No additional debt was incurred, or any proceeds received, by Vistra Operations in connection with the Repricing Amendment. As a result of the Repricing Amendment, Vistra Operations expects that its annual interest expense with respect to the Credit Facilities will decrease by approximately $5 million (on a pre-tax basis and excluding fees and expenses of approximately $2 million incurred in connection with the Repricing Amendment).

A copy of the Repricing Amendment is included as Exhibit No. 10.1 to this Current Report and is incorporated herein by reference. The above description of the Repricing Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Repricing Amendment.
