Long-Term Debt-Related Activity in 2022

January 2022 Term Loan Credit Agreement

On January 28, 2022, we entered into an unsecured term loan credit agreement with a commitment equal to an aggregate principal amount of $1.30 billion (January 2022 Term Loan Credit Agreement). The January 2022 Term Loan Credit Agreement matures on April 29, 2023. The January 2022 Term Loan Credit Agreement provides that we can borrow up to the full amount in up to four borrowings, at our option, at any time before April 28, 2022. Under the January 2022 Term Loan Credit Agreement, we borrowed $400 million on January 28, 2022, $600 million on February 28, 2022 (the February 2022 borrowing), $185 million on March 28, 2022, and $115 million on April 28, 2022 (the April 2022 borrowing). At March 31, 2022, aggregate borrowings under the January 2022 Term Loan Credit Agreement totaled $1.185 billion. Following the April 2022 borrowing, no remaining borrowings are available under the January 2022 Term Loan Credit Agreement. The proceeds from each borrowing were used for general corporate purposes, including to repay outstanding CP Notes and, in the case of the February 2022 borrowing, to redeem $400 million aggregate principal amount outstanding of our 4.10% Senior Secured Notes due June 1, 2022 (2022 notes), plus accrued and unpaid interest on the 2022 notes. Loans under the January 2022 Term Loan Credit Agreement bear interest, at our option, at either (i) an adjusted term SOFR (calculated based on one-month term SOFR as of a specified date, plus an adjustment of 0.10% (SOFR Adjustment)) plus a spread of 0.575%, (ii) an adjusted daily simple SOFR (calculated based on daily simple SOFR as of a specified date, plus the SOFR Adjustment) plus a spread of 0.575%, or (iii) for any day, at a rate equal to the greatest of: (1) the prime rate publicly announced by the administrative agent on such date, (2) the federal funds effective rate on such date plus 0.50%, and (3) daily simple SOFR on such date, plus 1.0%.

2022 Notes Redemption 

On March 1, 2022, we redeemed in full the $400 million aggregate principal amount of 2022 notes that were outstanding, which were to mature on June 1, 2022. The redemption price was equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2022 notes, plus accrued interest to, but not including, the redemption date of March 1, 2022. Following the redemption of the 2022 notes, none of the 2022 notes remained outstanding.

Deed of Trust

Our secured debt is secured equally and ratably by a first priority lien on all property acquired or constructed by Oncor for use in its electricity transmission and distribution business, subject to certain exceptions. The property is mortgaged under the Deed of Trust. The Deed of Trust permits us to secure indebtedness with the lien of the Deed of Trust up to the aggregate of (i) the amount of available bond credits, and (ii) 85% of the lower of the fair value or cost of certain property additions that could be certified to the Deed of Trust collateral agent. At March 31, 2022, the amount of available bond credits was $2.112 billion and the amount of future debt we could secure with property additions, subject to those property additions being certified to the Deed of Trust collateral agent, was $5.110 billion.

Borrowings under the CP Program, the Credit Facility and January 2022 Term Loan Credit Agreement are not secured.

Fair Value of Long-Term Debt

At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the estimated fair value of our long-term debt (including current maturities) totaled $11.476 billion and $11.758 billion, respectively, and the carrying amount totaled $10.819 billion and $10.032 billion, respectively. The fair value is estimated using observable market data, representing Level 2 valuations under accounting standards related to the determination of fair value.
