Senior Credit Facility
The Company has a senior unsecured credit facility (the “Credit Facility”), which was amended on September 1, 2022. The amendment, among other changes, increased the Company’s aggregate borrowing commitments under the Credit Facility from approximately $2.0 billion to $2.25 billion, which amount is composed of $1.9 billion of revolving commitments, an increase of $250 million from the previous Credit Facility, and a term loan with an original principal amount of $350 million (the “Term Loan”). The amendment also released the guarantees that existed under the previous Credit Facility and removed the requirement that certain subsidiaries of the Company guarantee the obligations thereunder. The other terms and conditions of the Credit Facility remain substantially the same. Additionally, the amendment eliminated the use of London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) as a basis to determine certain interest rates and transitioned to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) for such purposes. Obligations under the Credit Facility are not secured. Borrowings under the amended Credit Facility will be used for working capital requirements, capital expenditures and other corporate purposes, including acquisitions, equity investments or other strategic arrangements, and/or the repurchase or prepayment of indebtedness, among other corporate borrowing requirements.
Outstanding revolving loans and the Term Loan under the amended Credit Facility bear interest, at the Company’s option, at a rate equal to either (a) Term SOFR, as defined in the amended Credit Facility, plus a margin of 1.125% to 1.625%, or (b) a Base Rate, as defined in the amended Credit Facility, plus a margin of 0.125% to 0.625%. The Base Rate equals the highest of (i) the Federal Funds Rate, as defined in the amended Credit Facility, plus 0.50%, (ii) Bank of America’s prime rate, and (iii) Term SOFR plus 1.00%.
The Term Loan is subject to amortization in quarterly principal installments of approximately $2.2 million commencing in March 2023, which quarterly installments increase to approximately $4.4 million in March 2025 until maturity. Quarterly principal installments on the Term Loan are subject to adjustment, if applicable, for certain prepayments.
As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, outstanding revolving loans, which included $0.5 million and $32.3 million, respectively, of borrowings denominated in foreign currencies, accrued interest at weighted average rates of approximately 4.30% and 2.32% per annum, respectively. The Term Loan accrued interest at rates of 4.51% and 1.35% as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Letters of credit of approximately $145.0 million and $166.3 million were issued as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, letter of credit fees accrued at 0.5625% and 0.4375%, respectively, per annum for performance standby letters of credit, and accrued at 1.375% and 1.250%, respectively, per annum for financial standby letters of credit. Outstanding letters of credit mature at various dates and most have automatic renewal provisions, subject to prior notice of cancellation. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, availability for revolving loans totaled $834.5 million and $711.5 million, respectively, or up to $505.0 million and $483.7 million, respectively, for new letters of credit. Revolving loan borrowing capacity included $149.5 million and $267.7 million of availability in either Canadian dollars or Mexican pesos as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The unused facility fee as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 accrued at a rate of 0.200% and 0.175%, respectively, per annum.
Other Credit Facilities
The Company has other credit facilities that support: (i) the working capital requirements of its foreign operations and (ii) certain letter of credit issuances. There were no outstanding borrowings under the Company’s other credit facilities as of September 30, 2022 or December 31, 2021. Additionally, the Company has a separate credit facility, under which it may issue performance standby letters of credit.  As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, letters of credit issued under this facility totaled $17.4 million and $22.2 million, respectively, which accrued fees at 0.75% and 0.40% per annum, respectively. The Company’s other credit facilities are subject to customary provisions and covenants.
4.50% Senior Notes
The Company has $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.50% senior unsecured notes due August 15, 2028 (the “4.50% Senior Notes”). Pursuant to the terms of the indenture governing the Company’s 4.50% Senior Notes, the existing guarantees on the 4.50% Senior Notes were released substantially concurrent with the September 1, 2022 amendment to the Credit Facility, which, as discussed above, released the guarantors under the previous Credit Facility. Prior to the amendment, the 4.50% Senior Notes were fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured, joint and several basis by certain of the Company’s wholly-owned domestic restricted subsidiaries. Additionally, the indenture that governs the Company’s 4.50% Senior Notes contains a provision whereby certain restrictions that generally limit the ability of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries to (i) pay dividends, (ii) acquire shares of capital stock and (iii) make certain investments, are permanently terminated upon the Company’s 4.50% Senior Notes receiving “investment grade” ratings by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. and Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group. In the first quarter of 2022, the Company’s 4.50% Senior Notes received such investment grade ratings, and, as a result, the aforementioned restrictions were permanently terminated. The other terms and conditions of the 4.50% Senior Notes remain unchanged.
Additional Information

IEA Acquisition Financing and Acquired Debt
New Term Loan Facility. The IEA acquisition, which was completed in October 2022, was funded with the New Term Loan Facility (as defined below). On September 1, 2022, the Company entered into a new unsecured delayed draw term loan agreement (the “New Term Loan Facility”), which provided for $700.0 million in delayed draw term loan commitments (the “Term Loan Commitments”), composed of $400.0 million in principal amount of three-year commitments (the “Three-Year Tranche”) and $300.0 million in principal amount of five-year commitments (the “Five-Year Tranche”). The Term Loan Commitments were drawn on October 7, 2022, the Closing Date of the IEA acquisition. See Note 3 – Acquisitions, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, Net for additional information related to the IEA acquisition. The Company incurred approximately $2.0 million of debt issuance costs in connection with the New Term Loan Facility as of November 1, 2022, which costs will be amortized over the respective terms of the Three- and Five-Year Tranches.
The Three-Year Tranche will mature on October 7, 2025, the three-year anniversary of the Closing Date, and the Five-Year Tranche will mature on October 7, 2027, the five-year anniversary of the Closing Date. Loans under the Three-Year Tranche are not subject to amortization. Loans under the Five-Year Tranche will be amortized in quarterly principal installments, subject to the application of certain prepayments in accordance with the terms of the New Term Loan Facility. Quarterly installments under the Five-Year Tranche of $3.75 million will commence on March 31, 2024 and will increase to $7.5 million on March 31, 2026, until maturity.
Outstanding loans under the Three-Year Tranche bear interest, at the Company’s option, at a rate equal to either (a) Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), as defined in the New Term Loan Facility, plus a margin of 1.125% to 1.500%, or (b) a Base Rate, as defined below, plus a margin of 0.125% to 0.500%. Outstanding loans under the Five-Year Tranche bear interest, at the Company’s option, at a rate equal to either (a) Term SOFR plus a margin of 1.250% to 1.625%, or (b) a Base Rate, plus a margin of 0.250% to 0.625%. The Base Rate equals the highest of (i) the Federal Funds Rate, as defined in the New Term Loan Facility, plus 0.50%, (ii) Bank of America’s prime rate and (iii) Term SOFR plus 1.00%. In each of the foregoing cases, the applicable margin is based on the Company’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio and Debt Rating, each as defined in the New Term Loan Facility, as of the then most recent fiscal quarter.
The obligations under the New Term Loan Facility are not guaranteed and are not secured by any assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. The New Term Loan Facility requires the Company to maintain a Consolidated Leverage Ratio, as defined in the New Term Loan Facility, of not more than 3.50 as of the end of any fiscal quarter (subject to the Acquisition Adjustment described below). The New Term Loan Facility also requires the Company to maintain a Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio, as defined in the Amended Credit Facility, of at least 3.00. The New Term Loan Facility provides that, for purposes of calculating the Consolidated Leverage Ratio, funded indebtedness excludes undrawn
standby performance letters of credit included in the calculation of Consolidated Funded Indebtedness (as defined in the New Term Loan Facility). Additionally, notwithstanding the terms discussed above, subject to certain conditions, if a permitted acquisition or series of permitted acquisitions having consideration exceeding $100 million occurs during a fiscal quarter, the Consolidated Leverage Ratio may be temporarily increased to up to 4.00 during such fiscal quarter and the subsequent four fiscal quarters (the “Acquisition Adjustment”). Such right may be exercised no more than two times during the term of the New Term Loan Facility. Subject to customary exceptions, the New Term Loan Facility limits the borrowers’ ability to engage in certain activities, including but not limited to acquisitions, mergers and consolidations, debt incurrence, investments, asset sales, debt prepayments, lien incurrence and the making of distributions on or repurchases of capital stock. However, distributions payable solely in capital stock are permitted. The New Term Loan Facility provides for customary events of default and carries cross-default provisions with the Company’s other significant debt instruments, including the Company’s indemnity agreement with its surety provider, as well as customary remedies, including the acceleration of repayment of outstanding amounts.
Bridge Term Loan Facility. The Company incurred approximately $2.7 million of fees and expenses in the third quarter of 2022 in connection with commitments for a bridge term loan facility, which commitments were subsequently terminated in connection with the New Term Loan Facility, which costs are reflected as acquisition and integration costs within other expense.
IEA 6.625% Senior Notes. Upon consummation of the October 2022 acquisition of IEA, the Company assumed $300 million of 6.625% senior unsecured notes that mature on August 15, 2029 (the “6.625% IEA Senior Notes”) and that were issued by IEA Energy Services LLC (the “IEA Issuer”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of IEA, in a private placement pursuant to an indenture, dated as of August 17, 2021 (the “IEA Senior Notes Indenture”), by and among the IEA Issuer, the IEA Guarantors (as defined therein) and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee. Prior to the acquisition of IEA by MasTec, the 6.625% IEA Senior Notes were guaranteed by the IEA Guarantors. Effective October 7, 2022, concurrent with the acquisition of IEA and the repayment in full and termination of IEA’s credit facility, which resulted in the release of such guarantors under the prior credit facility, the IEA Guarantors of the 6.625% IEA Senior Notes were automatically and unconditionally released and discharged from their obligations under the IEA Senior Notes Indenture. The 6.625% IEA Senior Notes will be structurally subordinated to all indebtedness and other liabilities, including trade payables, of the Company’s subsidiaries and will be effectively subordinated to any secured indebtedness of the IEA Issuer, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness. Interest on the 6.625% IEA Senior Notes is payable semiannually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year. On October 26, 2022, approximately $74.9 million in principal amount of the 6.625% IEA Senior Notes were exchanged for the same principal amount of MasTec’s 6.625% senior unsecured notes that mature on August 15, 2029 (the “6.625% MasTec Senior Notes”) in a private exchange offer and consent solicitation to certain holders of 6.625% IEA Senior Notes. See discussion of exchange offer and 6.625% MasTec Senior Notes below.
At any time prior to August 15, 2024, the IEA Issuer may redeem some or all of the 6.625% IEA Senior Notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 6.625% IEA Senior Notes, plus a “make-whole premium,” together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of redemption. In addition, at any time prior to August 15, 2024, the IEA Issuer may redeem up to 40% of the original principal amount of the 6.625% IEA Senior Notes with the proceeds of certain equity offerings at a redemption price of 106.625% of the principal amount of the 6.625% IEA Senior Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of redemption, subject to the right of holders of notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date. On or after August 15, 2024, the 6.625% IEA Senior Notes are subject to redemption at any time and from time to time at the option of the IEA Issuer, in whole or in part, at specified redemption prices, expressed as percentages of principal amount, of 103.3% declining over a two-year period to 100.0%, subject to the right of holders of notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date.
The terms of the 6.625% IEA Senior Notes Indenture, among other things, limit the IEA Issuer’s ability to incur additional indebtedness; pay dividends or make other restricted payments; make loans and investments; incur liens; sell assets; enter into affiliate transactions; enter into certain sale and leaseback transactions; enter into agreements restricting the IEA Issuer’s subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends; and merge, consolidate or amalgamate or sell all or substantially all of its property, subject to certain thresholds and exceptions. Certain of such limitations are suspended for so long as the 6.625% IEA Senior Notes are rated “investment grade” by at least two nationally recognized statistical rating agencies, subject to certain conditions. In October 2022, following the acquisition of IEA by MasTec, the 6.625% IEA Senior Notes were rated as investment grade by at least two nationally recognized ratings agencies and, as a result, the aforementioned covenants were suspended.
The 6.625% IEA Senior Notes Indenture provides for customary events of default which include, subject in certain cases to customary grace and cure periods, among others, nonpayment of principal or interest; breach of other covenants or agreements in the 6.625% IEA Senior Notes Indenture; failure to pay certain other indebtedness; failure to pay certain final judgments; failure of certain guarantees to be enforceable; and certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency.
Exchange Offer and 6.625% MasTec Senior Notes. In August 2022, in connection with the Company’s previously announced agreement to acquire IEA, MasTec commenced a private exchange offer and consent solicitation to certain holders of the 6.625% IEA Senior Notes for up to an aggregate principal amount of $300.0 million of 6.625% MasTec Senior Notes, conditioned upon completion of the IEA acquisition. On October 26, 2022, approximately $74.9 million in principal amount of 6.625% IEA Senior Notes were exchanged for the same principal amount of 6.625% MasTec Senior Notes. The 6.625% MasTec Senior Notes are senior unsecured notes that mature on August 15, 2029. Interest on the 6.625% MasTec Senior Notes is payable semiannually on February 15 and August 15 of each year, commencing on February 15, 2023. The 6.625% MasTec Senior Notes will accrue interest from and including August 15, 2022, such that a tendering holder will receive the same interest payment it would have received had its 6.625% IEA Senior Notes not been tendered in the exchange offer. In connection with the consent solicitation, the Company paid a consent payment to holders of the 6.625% IEA Senior Notes that consented to the changes to the IEA Senior Notes Indenture proposed in such consent solicitation in the amount of $2.50 in cash for each $1,000 principal amount tendered.
The 6.625% MasTec Senior Notes are general senior unsecured obligations of the Company, and rank equal in right of payment with all of the Company’s existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness and senior in right of payment to any of the Company’s future subordinated indebtedness. The 6.625% MasTec Senior Notes are effectively subordinated to all secured indebtedness of the Company to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness and are structurally subordinated to all obligations of the subsidiaries of the Company, including trade
payables and the 6.625% IEA Senior Notes.
On or after August 15, 2024, the Company has the option, at any time and from time to time, to redeem all or a portion of the 6.625% MasTec Senior Notes at the redemption prices specified in the indenture that governs the 6.625% MasTec Senior Notes (the “6.625% MasTec Senior Notes Indenture”), plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date, subject to the right of holders of notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date. In addition, at any time prior to August 15, 2024, the Company may redeem all or a part of the 6.625% MasTec Senior Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 6.625% MasTec Senior Notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date, subject to the right of holders of notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date, plus a “make-whole” premium. Further, prior to August 15, 2024, the Company may redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the 6.625% MasTec Senior Notes using the net cash proceeds of certain equity offerings, at a redemption price equal to 106.625% of the principal amount of the 6.625% MasTec Senior Notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including the date of redemption, subject to the right of holders of notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date, subject to certain conditions.
If the Company undergoes a Change of Control, as defined in the 6.625% MasTec Senior Notes Indenture, the Company must make an offer to repurchase all of the 6.625% MasTec Senior Notes then outstanding at a price equal to 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of repurchase.
The 6.625% MasTec Senior Notes Indenture, among other things, generally limits the ability of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions, to (i) create certain liens and (ii) effect mergers, consolidate or transfer all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, subject to certain thresholds and exceptions. The 6.625% MasTec Senior Notes Indenture provides for customary events of default, which include, subject, in certain cases, to customary grace and cure periods, among others, nonpayment of principal or interest; breach of other covenants or agreements in the 6.625% MasTec Senior Notes Indenture; failure to pay certain other indebtedness; and certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency. Generally, if an event of default occurs and is continuing, the trustee or holders of at least 30% of the 6.625% MasTec Senior Notes then outstanding may declare the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest on all of the 6.625% MasTec Senior Notes immediately due and payable. The Company incurred approximately $2 million of fees and expenses in connection with the debt exchange, which amount will be reflected as expense, primarily in the fourth quarter of 2022
