Item 1.01    Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On September 20, 2018,  Tri-State Generation and Transmission Association, Inc. (“Tri-State”), Basin Electric Power Cooperative (“Basin”),  City of Lincoln, Nebraska, Heartland Consumers Power District (“Heartland”), Wyoming Municipal Power Agency, and Western Minnesota Municipal Power Agency entered into Amendment No. 12 (“Amendment 12”) to the Missouri Basin Power Project—Laramie River Electric Generating Station and Transmission System Participation Agreement, executed on various dates during the months of September, November and December, 1975, taking effect as of May 25, 1977 (“Participation Agreement”).

 

Amendment 12 extends the term of the Participation Agreement to December 31, 2042, increases Tri-State’s ownership share in the Missouri Basin Power Project to 27.13 percent, which reflects Tri-State acquisition of Heartland’s 3 percent ownership share, and revises the voting methodology for the various committees related to the Missouri Basin Power Project.

 

Basin is a cooperative of which Tri-State is a member and as a result patronage capital is held by Basin for the account of Tri-State.

 

The foregoing description of Amendment 12 does  not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of Amendment 12, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 9.01    Financial Statements and Exhibits.
