Item 1.01 Entry into a Definitive Material Agreement
On March 25, 2025, The Dayton Power and Light Company, doing business as AES Ohio (“AES Ohio”), the principal subsidiary of DPL Inc. (“DPL”), entered into a third amended and restated credit agreement among AES Ohio, each lender from time to time party thereto, PNC Bank, National Association (“PNC Bank”), as administrative agent, swing loan lender and an issuing lender, PNC Capital Markets LLC, as joint bookrunner and joint lead arranger, and US Bank, National Association, as an issuing lender (the “PNC Credit Agreement”), amending and restating the second amended and restated revolving credit agreement dated December 22, 2022 among AES Ohio, PNC Bank, as administrative agent, and the financial institutions from time to time party thereto as lenders, as amended (the “Existing Credit Agreement”).
The PNC Bank Credit Agreement provides, on an unsecured basis, for revolving loans, swing line loans and letters of credit in an aggregate principal amount of $350 million at any one time outstanding. Letters of credit are subject to a sub-limit not to exceed $75 million at any one time outstanding, and PNC Bank may make swing line loans in an aggregate principal amount up to $35 million at any one time outstanding. Subject to customary conditions and the approval of any lender whose commitment would be increased, AES Ohio has the option to increase the maximum principal amount available under the PNC Bank Credit Agreement by up to an additional $150 million, for a total maximum available amount of $500 million. None of the lenders under the PNC Bank Credit Agreement has committed at this time or is obligated to provide any such increase in the commitments. Funds may be prepaid at any time, and AES Ohio has the right to permanently reduce or terminate the lenders’ commitments provided for under the PNC Bank Credit Agreement. Subject to customary conditions, AES Ohio has the right to request up to two one-year extensions of the PNC Bank Credit Agreement maturity date. Such extensions must be approved by each lender in its sole and individual discretion.
Funds provided under the PNC Bank Credit Agreement may be used to finance capital expenditures, to refinance certain indebtedness, to support working capital and for general corporate purposes. Unless the lender commitments are terminated earlier or the maturity date is extended in accordance with the two one-year extension options under the PNC Bank Credit Agreement, the revolving loans and swing line loans provided for under the PNC Bank Credit Agreement are available until March 25, 2030.
The PNC Bank Credit Agreement includes customary representations, warranties and covenants, and acceleration, indemnity and events of default provisions, including, among other things, a financial covenant, which requires AES Ohio’s consolidated total debt to consolidated total capitalization shall not be greater than 0.67 to 1.00 at any time.
AES Ohio has agreed to pay interest on outstanding borrowings as determined in accordance with the PNC Bank Credit Agreement, and to pay unused commitment fees and customary administrative agent, letter of credit and other fees.
The foregoing description of the PNC Bank Credit Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the PNC Bank Credit Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference. DPL and AES Ohio have existing general banking relationships with other parties to the PNC Bank Credit Agreement.
