Amendment Transaction with EDF Trading North America, LLC

 

On June 19, 2019, Summer Energy Holdings, Inc. (“SEH”), and its subsidiaries Summer Energy, LLC (“Summer LLC”), Summer Energy Northeast, LLC (“Summer Northeast”) and Summer Energy Midwest, LLC (“Summer Midwest”; together with SEH, Summer LLC and Summer Northeast, the “Company”) closed a transaction (the “Amendment Transaction”) with EDF Trading North America, LLC (“EDFTNA”) in order to amend certain agreements previously entered into among SEH, Summer LLC, Summer Northeast, EDFTNA and EDF Energy Services, LLC (collectively with EDFTNA, “EDF”).  

 

By way of background (and as more fully described in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by SEH on May 4, 2018), on May 1, 2018, SEH, Summer LLC and Summer Northeast entered into an Energy Services Agreement (the “Energy Services Agreement”) with EDF pursuant to which Summer LLC and Summer Northeast agreed to purchase their electric power and associated services requirements from EDF, and EDF agreed to provide certain credit facilities to assist Summer LLC and Summer Northeast in the purchase of their electric power and associated service requirements (the “Original Transaction”).   In connection with the Original Transaction, the parties thereto also entered into, among other agreements, an ISDA Master Agreement, including Schedule thereto and accompanying Credit Support Annex (collectively, the “ISDA Agreement”), a Security Agreement (the “Security Agreement”), a Pledge Agreement (the “Pledge Agreement”), and a Guaranty by SEH (the “Guaranty”).  Copies of the Energy Services Agreement, ISDA Agreement, Security Agreement, Pledge Agreement and Guaranty are filed as Exhibits 10.1 through 10.5, respectively, to SEH’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed on August 14, 2018.  

 

Pursuant to the Amendment Transaction, the Company and EDFTNA entered into an Amended and Restated Energy Services Agreement, which amended and restated the Energy Services Agreement (the “Amended Energy Services Agreement”), an amendment to ISDA Master Agreement which amends the ISDA Agreement (the “Amended ISDA Agreement”), an Omnibus Amendment to Pledge Agreement and Security Agreement and Joinder, which amends both the Security Agreement and the Pledge Agreement (the “Omnibus Amendment”) and an Amended and Restated Guaranty, which amends and restates the Guaranty (the “Amended Guaranty”).  In general, the Amended Energy Services Agreement, the Amended ISDA Agreement, the Omnibus Amendment and the Amended Guaranty amend and/or restate the documents from the Original Transaction to (i) remove EDF Energy Services, LLC as a party to the agreements and (ii) add an additional subsidiary of SEH, Summer Midwest, as a party to the agreements, such that Summer Midwest is able to purchase its electric power and associated services requirements from EDFTNA and also utilize EDFTNA’s credit support.   The term, pricing and interest payable under the Amended Energy Services Agreement are unchanged from the original Energy Services Agreement.  

 

Pursuant to the Omnibus Amendment, in consideration of the services and credit support provided by EDFTNA to the Company, Summer Midwest agreed to, among other things (i) grant a priority security interest to EDFTNA in all of its assets, equipment and inventory; and (ii) require its customers to remit monthly payments into a lockbox account over which EDFTNA has a security interest.  The security interest previously granted by Summer LLC and Summer Northeast is unchanged, except that EDFTNA is now the sole secured party.  Also pursuant to the Omnibus Amendment, SEH pledged to EDFTNA, and granted to EDFTNA a security interest in, all of SEH’s membership interest in Summer Midwest. The previous pledge by SEH of its membership interest in Summer LLC and Summer Northeast is unchanged, except that EDFTNA is now the sole secured party.   Pursuant to the Guaranty, SEH agreed to guaranty the obligations of Summer LLC, Summer Northeast and Summer Midwest under the Amended Energy Services Agreement.

On June 20, 2019, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of SEH approved a new employment agreement with Angela Hanley (the “Hanley Employment Agreement”) pursuant to which Ms. Hanley will continue to serve as the President of SEH.  Ms. Hanley will continue to report to the Board and will have the duties and responsibilities assigned by the Board.  Ms. Hanley was originally appointed to the position of President in February 2014.  The


Hanley Employment Agreement provides for a semi-monthly salary of $4,230.77.   Ms. Hanley will also receive the customary employee benefits paid by SEH and will be eligible to receive equity grants from time to time as determined by the Board and the Compensation Committee of the Board.
