Short-Term Borrowing Short-Term Borrowing
In March 2025, CECONY entered into a 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement (the CECONY Credit Agreement) that replaced a March 2024 CECONY 364-Day Credit Agreement under which banks are committed to provide loans up to $500 million on a revolving credit basis. The CECONY Credit Agreement expires in March 2026 and supports CECONY’s commercial paper program. Loans issued under the CECONY Credit Agreement may also be used for other general corporate purposes. Any borrowings under the CECONY Credit Agreement would generally be at variable interest rates.

The banks’ commitments to make loans to CECONY under the CECONY Credit Agreement are subject to certain conditions, including that there be no event of default or event which with notice or the lapse of time would become an event of default with respect to CECONY. The commitments are not subject to maintenance of credit rating levels or the absence of a material adverse change. Upon a change of control of CECONY or Con Edison, or upon an event of default by CECONY, the banks may terminate their commitments and declare the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the loans outstanding (together with accrued interest thereon and other amounts due and owing thereunder) under the CECONY Credit Agreement immediately due and payable. Events of default include, among other things, CECONY's failure to pay any principal of any loan issued pursuant to the CECONY Credit Agreement; CECONY's failure to pay any interest or fees pursuant to the CECONY Credit Agreement within five days; CECONY's failure to meet certain covenants, including covenants that CECONY's ratio of consolidated debt to consolidated total capital not at any time exceed 0.65 to 1 and that CECONY will not create, assume or suffer a lien or other encumbrance on its assets exceeding 10 percent of CECONY's consolidated net tangible assets; CECONY or its material subsidiaries failing to make one or more payments in respect of material financial obligations (in excess of $150 million in aggregate of debt or derivative obligations other than non-recourse debt); the occurrence of an event or condition which results in the acceleration of the maturity of any material debt (in excess of $150 million in aggregate of debt other than non-recourse debt) or enables the holders of such debt to accelerate the maturity thereof; and other customary events of default.

In November 2024 and January 2025, CECONY borrowed $500 million and $200 million, respectively, at a variable rate under a 364-Day Senior Unsecured Delayed Draw Term Loan Credit Agreement entered into by the company in November 2024 (the CECONY Term Loan Credit Agreement). The term loans mature in November 2025. CECONY has the option to prepay the term loans issued under the CECONY Term Loan Credit Agreement prior to maturity. CECONY intends to use borrowings under the CECONY Term Loan Credit Agreement for general corporate purposes. Upon a change of control of CECONY or Con Edison, or upon an event of default by CECONY, the banks may declare the loans outstanding under the CECONY Term Loan Credit Agreement immediately due and payable. Events of default include, among other things, CECONY exceeding at any time a ratio of consolidated debt to consolidated total capital of 0.65 to 1; CECONY or its subsidiaries having liens on its or their assets in an aggregate amount exceeding 10 percent of CECONY’s consolidated net tangible assets; CECONY or its material subsidiaries
failing to make one or more payments in respect of material financial obligations (in excess of $150 million in aggregate of debt or derivative obligations other than non-recourse debt); the occurrence of an event or condition which results in the acceleration of the maturity of any material debt (in excess of $150 million in aggregate of debt other than non-recourse debt) or enables the holders of such debt to accelerate the maturity thereof; and other customary events of default.
