Credit agreements and long-term debt

Credit agreements. HEI and Hawaiian Electric each entered into a separate agreement with a syndicate of eight financial institutions (the HEI Facility and Hawaiian Electric Facility, respectively, and together, the Facilities), effective July 3, 2017, to amend and restate their respective previously existing revolving unsecured credit agreements. The $150 million HEI Facility extended the term of the facility to June 30, 2022. In March 2018, the PUC approved Hawaiian Electric’s request to extend the term of the $200 million Hawaiian Electric Facility to June 30, 2022. As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, no amounts were outstanding under the Facilities.

The Facilities will be maintained to support each company’s respective short-term commercial paper program, but may be drawn on to meet each company’s respective working capital needs and general corporate purposes.

Changes in long-term debt. On May 30, 2018, the Utilities issued, through a private placement pursuant to separate Note Purchase Agreements (the Note Purchase Agreements), the following unsecured notes bearing taxable interest (the Notes):



	Series 2018A	Series 2018B	Series 2018C
Aggregate principal amount	$67.5 million	$17.5 million	$15 million
Fixed coupon interest rate	4.38%	4.53%	4.72%
Maturity date	May 30, 2028	March 30, 2033	May 30, 2048
Principal amount by company:
Hawaiian Electric	$52 million	$12.5 million	$10.5 million
Hawaii Electric Light	$9 million	$3 million	$3 million
Maui Electric	$6.5 million	$2 million	$1.5 million

The Notes include substantially the same financial covenants and customary conditions as Hawaiian Electric’s credit agreement. Hawaiian Electric is also a party as guarantor under the Note Purchase Agreements entered into by Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric. All the proceeds of the Notes were used by Hawaiian Electric, Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric to finance their capital expenditures and/or to reimburse funds used for the payment of capital expenditures. The Notes may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time at the prepayment price of the principal amount plus a “Make-Whole Amount,” as defined in the Note Purchase Agreements.

In June 2018, Mauo, LLC, an indirect subsidiary of Pacific Current, LLC, entered into an unsecured $50.5 million construction loan facility in connection with the construction of the solar-plus-storage PPA project. The loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.375% and matures in March 2021. As of September 30, 2018, no amounts were outstanding under the facility. The loan is guaranteed by HEI.

On October 4, 2018, HEI closed on a private placement transaction to issue $150 million senior unsecured notes in two tranches, as follows:



	HEI Series 2018A	HEI Series 2018B
Aggregate principal amount due at maturity	$50 million	$100 million
Fixed coupon interest rate	4.58%	4.72%
Maturity date	December 15, 2025	December 15, 2028
Draw date	October 4, 2018	December 18, 2018

Proceeds from the HEI Series 2018A tranche were used to repay HEI’s $50 million short-term borrowing with The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd. Proceeds to be received from the HEI Series 2018B tranche will be used for general corporate purposes, including contributions to Hawaiian Electric to maintain a targeted equity capitalization structure. The note purchase agreement contains certain restrictive financial covenants that are substantially the same as the financial covenants contained in HEI’s senior credit facility, as amended.
