On May 4, 2016, Berwyn Funding LLC (“Berwyn”), a wholly-owned special purpose financing subsidiary of FS Energy and Power Fund (the “Company”), entered into the (i) fifth amendment (the “Fifth Amendment”) to the Committee Facility Agreement, dated as of December 11, 2013 and amended to date (the “Committed Facility Agreement”), by and between Berwyn and BNP Paribas Prime Brokerage, Inc. (“BNP”) and (ii) first amendment (the “PB Amendment”) to the U.S. PB Agreement, dated as of December 11, 2013 (the “U.S. PB Agreement”), by and between Berwyn and BNP. 

 

The Fifth Amendment increases the (i) interest rate payable on borrowings under the Committed Facility Agreement from three-month LIBOR plus 110 basis points to three-month LIBOR plus 135 basis points effective on and after January 2, 2017 and (ii) the commitment fee payable under the Committed Facility Agreement from 55 basis points on all unused amounts to, effective on and after January 2, 2017, (a) 65 basis points on unused amounts so long as 75% or more of the facility amount under the Committed Facility Agreement is utilized or (b) 85 basis points on unused amounts if less than 75% of the facility amount under the Committed Facility Agreement is utilized. The PB Amendment permits Berwyn to enter into trades, including but not limited to purchasing options, through the prime brokerage arrangement provided under the U.S. PB Agreement.
