Item  1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On March 3, 2015, Vivint Solar, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a credit agreement with certain financial institutions for which Goldman Sachs Lending Partners LLC is acting as administrative agent and collateral agent, under which the Company may from time to time incur up to an aggregate principal amount of $131 million in revolver borrowings (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). Upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, the Company may increase the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Facility to $150 million. Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility will be used for the construction and acquisition of solar energy systems, and letters of credit may be issued under the Revolving Credit Facility for working capital and general corporate purposes. The Revolving Credit Facility matures on the fifth anniversary thereof.

 

Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility may be designated as Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans, at the option of the Company. Base Rate Loans accrue interest at a rate per year equal to 2.25% plus the highest of (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, (ii) Citibank’s published “prime rate,” and (iii) LIBOR plus 1.0%. Eurodollar Rate Loans accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to 3.25% plus the quotient obtained by dividing (i) LIBOR by (ii) 1.00 minus the reserve percentage then in effect under regulations issued by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System of the United States. The fee for letters of credit is 3.25% per year, and the fee for undrawn commitments is 0.5% per annum.

 

The Company is the borrower under the Revolving Credit Facility. The Company’s obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility are guaranteed by its wholly owned subsidiaries, Vivint Solar Holdings, Inc., Vivint Solar Operations, LLC, Vivint Solar Developer, LLC and Vivint Solar Provider, LLC (collectively, the “Guarantors”). As collateral for the Company’s obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility, the Company and the Guarantors have each pledged the equity interests in the Guarantors. In addition, subject to certain exceptions, the Company and the Guarantors have granted a security interest in all their personal property, intellectual property and cash and cash equivalents, to secure the obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility.

 

The Revolving Credit Facility includes customary restrictive covenants, including meeting certain reporting requirements and restrictions on the Company’s and its subsidiaries ability to incur liens, incur indebtedness, execute certain change of control transactions, business combinations or other fundamental changes to their business, dispose of assets, make certain types of restricted payments or enter into certain related party transactions, in each case subject to customary exceptions and allowances, including with respect to the Company’s investment fund subsidiaries. These restrictions do not impact the Company’s ability to enter into or fund its interests in new investment funds to further fund the acquisition and construction of solar energy systems. In addition, the Company is required to have at least $25 million in cash and cash equivalents at the end of each fiscal quarter which is not subject to any liens, security interests, pledges or other encumbrances (other than any security interests granted under the Revolving Credit Facility).

 

The Revolving Credit Facility also contains certain customary events of default. If an event of default occurs, the lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility will be entitled to take various actions, including the termination of any undrawn commitments and the acceleration of amounts due under the Revolving Credit Facility.
