Long-term debt covenants and restrictions
The DPL Credit Agreement has two financial covenants. The first financial covenant, a minimum EBITDA, calculated at the end of each fiscal quarter for the four prior fiscal quarters of $125.0 million is required, stepping up to $130.0 million on September 30, 2022 and $150.0 million on December 31, 2022. As of March 31, 2022, DPL was in compliance with this financial covenant.

The second financial covenant is an EBITDA to Interest Expense ratio that is calculated, at the end of each fiscal quarter, by dividing EBITDA for the four prior fiscal quarters by the consolidated interest charges for the same period. The ratio, per the agreement, is to be not less than 1.70 to 1.00, and steps up to 1.75 to 1.00 on September 30, 2022 and 2.00 to 1.00 as of December 31, 2022. As of March 31, 2022, DPL Inc. was in compliance with this financial covenant.

The DPL Credit Agreement also restricts dividend payments from DPL Inc. to AES, such that DPL cannot make dividend payments unless at the time of, and/or as a result of the distribution, (i) DPL Inc.’s leverage ratio does not exceed 0.67 to 1.00 and DPL’s interest coverage ratio is not less than 2.50 to 1.00 or, if such ratios are not within the parameters, (ii) DPL’s senior long-term debt rating from two of the three major credit rating agencies is at least investment grade. As a result, as of March 31, 2022, DPL Inc. was prohibited from making a distribution to its shareholder or making a loan to any of its affiliates (other than its subsidiaries).

Starting with the quarter ended September 30, 2021, the borrowing limit on the DPL Inc. Credit Agreement will be reduced by $5.0 million per quarter should the Total Debt to EBITDA ratio for the period of four consecutive quarters exceed 7.00 to 1.00. As of March 31, 2022, DPL Inc. exceeded this ratio and the borrowing limit was reduced from $100.0 million to $95.0 million.

The AES Ohio Credit Agreement and Bond Purchase Agreement (financing document entered into in connection with the issuance of AES Ohio's First Mortgage Bonds, on July 31, 2020) has one financial covenant. The covenant measures Total Debt to Total Capitalization and is calculated, at the end of each fiscal quarter, by dividing total debt at the end of the quarter by total capitalization at the end of the quarter. AES Ohio’s Total Debt to Total Capitalization ratio shall not be greater than 0.67 to 1.00. As of March 31, 2022, AES Ohio was in compliance with this financial covenant.

As of March 31, 2022, DPL and AES Ohio were in compliance with all debt covenants, including the financial covenants described above.
