Section 1 – Registrant’s Business and Operations

 

Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On February 1, 2022, Constellation Energy Generation, LLC (Generation) executed a new revolving credit facility, as described below.

 

The new credit facility described below replaces the Credit Agreement, dated as of March 23, 2011, as amended, among Generation, as borrower, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (JPMCB), as Administrative Agent.

 

On February 1, 2022, Generation entered into a five-year revolving credit facility with JPMCB, as Administrative Agent, and various financial institutions. This credit facility provides for an aggregate commitment of $3,500,000,000, which may be drawn down in the form of loans and/or letters of credit. The credit facility will be used principally to back up commercial paper issuances at Generation and requirements for letters of credit.

 

Lending commitments under the credit facility will terminate five years after the effective date, unless extended. The credit facility includes provisions for one-year extensions at the option of Generation and with the consent of the lenders. The credit facility also includes provisions for reduction of the amount of the facility at the option of Generation and provisions for the limited increase of the lenders’ commitments to lend at Generation’s request and with the consent of the lenders.

 

The credit facility includes covenants generally similar to covenants in existing bank credit facilities for Generation. The credit facility also requires Generation to comply with a consolidated leverage ratio not to exceed 3.50 to 1.00, calculated on the basis of the trailing four fiscal quarters. The consolidated leverage ratio is defined as consolidated indebtedness, divided by consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, amortization, depreciation and amortization. Consolidated indebtedness excludes nonrecourse indebtedness as defined in the credit agreement.

 

The credit facility also includes events of default generally similar to events of default in the existing bank credit facilities for Generation, including customary events of default for agreements of this type, such as: failure to pay outstanding principal, interest, fees or other amounts due under the credit facilities; cross default to other debt in excess of a specified amount; and the failure to observe or perform covenants.
