Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
On April 1, 2014, NRG Energy Holdings Inc. (“NRG Holdings”), a wholly owned subsidiary of NRG Energy, Inc. (“NRG”), completed its previously announced acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Edison Mission Energy (“EME”), including EME’s equity interests in certain of its subsidiaries, pursuant to that certain Asset Purchase Agreement, dated October 18, 2013 (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and among NRG, EME and NRG Holdings. EME is a holding company whose subsidiaries and affiliates are engaged in the business of developing, acquiring, owning or leasing, operating and selling energy and capacity from independent power production facilities.
In exchange for the acquired assets of EME, NRG paid a total purchase price of $2,635 million, which purchase price consisted of $350 million of newly issued, registered shares of NRG’s common stock and $2,285 million in cash. The number of shares issued was determined based on a price of $27.62 per share, which was equal to the volume-weighted average trading price of NRG’s common stock over the 20 trading days prior to October 18, 2013. The total purchase price is subject to transaction adjustments for cash and working capital. The cash purchase price was funded with NRG’s cash on hand, proceeds from debt financings and other funds available to it.
The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement, a copy of which was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to NRG’s Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 21, 2013 and is incorporated herein by reference. On April 1, 2014, NRG issued a press release announcing the completion of the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of EME. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
