On July 20, 2017, the Company signed a credit facility (the “2017 Credit Facility”) for up to €10 million, approximately $11.8 million, which is available in euros or U.S. dollars. Amounts drawn down accrue interest at a rate per year equal to EURIBOR plus 2% or LIBOR plus 2%, depending on the currency. As of March 31, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the 2017 Credit Facility was fully available. The credit facility maturity is December 13, 2021.

On May 10, 2018, the Company entered into a $215 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) with a syndicate of banks. Amounts drawn down accrue interest at a rate per year equal to (A) for Eurodollar rate loans, LIBOR plus a percentage determined by reference to the leverage ratio of the Company, ranging between 1.60% and 2.25% and (B) for base rate loans, the highest of (i) the rate per annum equal to the weighted average of the rates on overnight U.S. Federal funds transactions with members of the U.S. Federal Reserve System arranged by U.S. Federal funds brokers on such day plus ½ of 1.00%, (ii) the U.S. prime rate and (iii) LIBOR plus 1.00%, in any case, plus a percentage determined by reference to the leverage ratio of the Company, ranging between 0.60% and 1.00%. Letters of credit may be issued using up to $100 million of the Revolving Credit Facility. During 2019, the amount of the Revolving Credit Facility increased from $215 million to $425 million and the maturity was extended to December 31, 2022. In the first quarter of 2021, the Company increased the amount of the Revolving Credit Facility from $425 million to $450 million and the maturity has been extended to December 31, 2023. On March 31, 2021, the Company had issued letters of credit for $10 million and, therefore, $440 million of the Revolving Credit Facility are available ($415 million as of December 31, 2020).

On April 30, 2019, the Company entered into a senior unsecured note facility with a group of funds managed by Westbourne Capital as purchasers of the notes issued thereunder for a total amount of €268 million (the “Note Issuance Facility 2019”), approximately $316 million, with maturity date on April 30, 2025. Interest accrues at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 3-month EURIBOR plus 4.50%. The interest rate on the Note Issuance Facility 2019 is fully hedged by an interest rate swap resulting in the Company paying a net fixed interest rate of 4.24%. The Note Issuance Facility 2019 provided that the Company may capitalize interest on the notes issued thereunder for a period of up to two years from closing at the Company´s discretion, subject to certain conditions, and the Company elected to capitalize such interest until the end of 2020.

On October 8, 2019, the Company filed a euro commercial paper program (the “Commercial Paper”) with the Alternative Fixed Income Market (MARF) in Spain. The program had an original maturity of twelve months and was extended for another twelve-month period on October 8, 2020. The program allows Atlantica to issue short term notes over the next twelve months for up to €50 million (approximately $59 million), with such notes having a tenor of up to two years. As of March 31, 2021, the Company had €20.7 million (approximately $24.4 million) issued and outstanding under the program at an average cost of 0.42% (€17.4 million, approximately $20.5 million, as of December 31, 2020).

On April 1, 2020, the Company closed the secured 2020 Green Private Placement for €290 million (approximately $341 million). The private placement accrues interest at an annual 1.96% interest rate, payable quarterly and has a June 2026 maturity.

On July 8, 2020, the Company entered into a senior unsecured financing (the “Note Issuance Facility 2020”) with a group of funds managed by Westbourne Capital as purchasers of the notes issued thereunder for a total amount of approximately $165 million, which is denominated in euros (€140 million). The Note Issuance Facility 2020 was issued on August 12, 2020, accrues annual interest of 5.25%, payable quarterly and has a maturity of seven years from the closing date.

On July 17, 2020, the Company issued $100 million aggregate principal amount of 4.00% convertible bonds (the “Green Exchangeable Notes”) due in 2025. On July 29, 2020, the Company closed an additional $15 million aggregate principal amount in the Green Exchangeable Notes. The notes mature on July 15, 2025 and bear interest at a rate of 4.00% per annum. The initial exchange rate of the notes is 29.1070 ordinary shares per $1,000 principal amount of notes, which is equivalent to an initial exchange price of $34.36 per ordinary share. Noteholders may exchange their notes at their option, at any time prior to the close of business on the scheduled trading day immediately preceding April 15, 2025, only during certain periods and upon satisfaction of certain conditions. On or after April 15, 2025, noteholders may exchange their notes at any time. Upon exchange, the notes may be settled, at the election of the Company, into Atlantica ordinary shares, cash or a combination thereof. The exchange rate is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events.

As per IAS 32, “Financial Instruments: Presentation”, the conversion option of the Green Exchangeable Notes is an embedded derivative classified within the line “Derivative liabilities” of these consolidated condensed interim financial statements (Note 9). It was initially valued at transaction date for $10 million, and prospective changes to its fair value are accounted for directly through the profit and loss statement. The principal element of the Green Exchangeable Notes, classified within the line “Corporate debt” of these consolidated condensed interim financial statements, is initially valued as the difference between the consideration received from the holders of the instrument and the value of the embedded derivative, and thereafter, at amortized cost using the effective interest method as per IFRS 9, “Financial Instruments”.

On December 4, 2020, the Company entered into a credit facility (the “2020 Credit Facility”) for up to €5 million, approximately $5.9 million. Amounts drawn down accrue interest at a rate per year equal to 2.50%. As of March 31, 2021, and as of December 31, 2020, the total amount of the credit was drawn down. The maturity date is December 4, 2025.
