On June 27, 2024 Hawaiian Electric Company, Inc. (Hawaiian
Electric), a subsidiary of Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc.
(NYSE - HE) (HEI), received approval from the Public
Utilities Commission (PUC) for an asset-based lending facility
credit agreement (ABL Credit Facility Agreement) that allows
short-term borrowings of up to $250 million on a revolving basis
using certain accounts receivable as collateral. The ABL Credit
Facility Agreement is described in detail in HEI’s form 8-K filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 23, 2024.
“We appreciate the PUC’s approval on the expedited schedule
Hawaiian Electric had requested. An accounts receivable facility is
a tool commonly used by utilities to support their financing needs,
and this will help support the important operational work underway
by Hawaiian Electric to support safety, resilience and reliability.
Hawaiian Electric continues to prudently manage liquidity as we
work through the timing and impacts of litigation related to the
Maui wildfires, and this facility provides them with additional
flexibility,” said Scott Seu, HEI president and CEO.
The PUC’s approval is described in detail in its Decision and
Order (number 40866) issued on June 27, 2024, available publicly on
the PUC’s website at https://hpuc.my.site.com/cdms/s/.
