Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On December 13, 2012, TVA entered into a $1,000,000,000 Winter Maturity Credit Agreement with Royal Bank of Canada (“RBC”), The Bank of Nova Scotia, Mizuho Corporate Bank, Ltd., PNC Bank, National Association, The Royal Bank of Scotland plc, UBS AG, Stamford Branch, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the “Credit Agreement”). RBC serves as Administrative Agent and Letter of Credit Issuer, and is also a Lender under the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement allows TVA to access up to $1,000,000,000 in either loans or letters of credit, and will expire on December 13, 2017. 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.
On December 12, 2012, TVA also executed an amendment to its $1,000,000,000 Spring Maturity Credit Agreement dated as of June 25, 2012, with The Bank of New York Mellon, Bank of America, N.A., Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, New York Agency, First Tennessee Bank National Association, Morgan Stanley Bank, N.A., and Toronto Dominion (New York) LLC. The amendment modified Schedule 1.01 by eliminating one pricing tier.
Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.
On December 13, 2012, in connection with the entry into the Credit Agreement, TVA terminated the $1,000,000,000 Winter Maturity Credit Agreement dated as of January 14, 2011, with The Royal Bank of Scotland plc, Mizuho Corporate Bank, Ltd., UBS AG, Stamford Branch, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, Bank of Montreal, and Bank of Nova Scotia.
