Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On May 15, 2020, Cleco Corporate Holdings LLC (“Cleco Holdings”) entered into amendments to its revolving credit agreement and its two outstanding term loan agreements (collectively, the
“Cleco Holdings Amendments”). Also, on May 15, 2020, Cleco Power LLC (“Cleco Power”) entered into an amendment to its revolving credit agreement (the “Cleco Power Amendment” and, together with the Cleco Holdings Amendments, the “Amendments”).
The Amendments extend the terms of each agreement through June 28, 2022. The current borrowing costs under the amended Cleco Holdings revolving credit agreement are equal to LIBOR plus 1.875% or ABR plus 0.875%, plus commitment fees of 0.300%.
Cleco Holdings’ amended $300.0 million term loan bears interest at an interest rate of LIBOR plus 1.875% and Cleco Holdings’ amended $30.0 million term loan bears interest at an interest rate of LIBOR plus 1.875%. If Cleco Holdings’ credit
ratings were to be downgraded one level by Fitch Ratings, Inc. (“Fitch”), Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) or Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC (“S&P”), Cleco Holdings may be required to pay higher fees and additional
interest of 0.50% under any of the Cleco Holdings Amendments. The current borrowing costs under the amended Cleco Power revolving credit agreement are equal to LIBOR plus 1.250% or ABR plus 0.250%, plus commitment fees of 0.150%. If Cleco
Power’s credit ratings were to be downgraded one level by Fitch, Moody’s or S&P, Cleco Power may be required to pay higher fees and additional interest of 0.125% under the Cleco Power Amendment. The Amendments also include customary
LIBOR-transition provisions.
The foregoing description of the Amendments and the transactions contemplated thereby does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the
Amendments, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4, and are incorporated herein by reference.
