ITEM 1.01.    ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.

On December 29, 2015, RGC Midstream, LLC (“Midstream”), a wholly owned subsidiary of RGC Resources, Inc. (“Resources”), entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Agreement”) and related Promissory Notes (the “Notes”) with Union Bank & Trust and Branch Banking & Trust (collectively the “Banks”), under which Midstream may borrow up to a total of $25,000,000, over a 5 year period, with an interest rate of 30-day LIBOR plus 1.60%. Midstream issued the Notes to provide financing for its 1% interest in the Mountain Valley Pipeline, LLC (the “MVP”).

The Agreement includes certain events of default to which the Notes are subject including payment default, limitations on additional Midstream indebtedness, bankruptcy, insolvency or similar events. Midstream may, at its option, prepay the Notes in whole or in part at any time, subject to certain payment limitations and notice requirements set forth in the Agreement. The repayment of the Notes may be accelerated upon the occurrence of default as defined in the Agreement.

The Agreement sets forth certain representations, warranties and covenants to which Midstream is subject, including financial covenants that limit Consolidated Long Term Indebtedness to not more than 65% of Consolidated Total Capitalization and Priority Indebtedness to not more than 15% of Consolidated Total Assets.

Interest on the Notes is due monthly with the outstanding balance on the Notes due in full on December 29, 2020. The Notes are unsecured. In accordance with the terms of the Agreement, at such point in time as Midstream has borrowed $17,500,000 under the Notes, Midstream is required to provide the next $5,000,000 towards its MVP investment. Once Midstream has completed the $5,000,000 contribution, it may resume borrowing under the Notes up to the $25,000,000 limit.

On the same date, Resources entered into a Guaranty in favor of the Banks (the “Guaranty”) by which it guarantees Midstream’s payment and performance on the Notes.

The Agreement and Notes are attached as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, and 10.3. The form of the Guaranty is attached as Exhibit 10.4. The foregoing summaries of the Agreement, Notes and Guaranty are not complete and are qualified in their entireties by reference to the full text of such documents.
