Liens and Security Interests
Almost all of SCE's properties are subject to a trust indenture lien. SCE has pledged first and refunding mortgage bonds as collateral for borrowed funds obtained from pollution-control bonds issued by government agencies. SCE has a debt covenant that requires a debt to total capitalization ratio to be less than or equal to 0.65 to 1. At December 31, 2019, SCE was in compliance with this debt covenant and all other financial covenants that affect access to capital.

In February 2019, SCE borrowed $750 million under a Term Loan Agreement due in February 2020 ("February 2019 SCE Term Loan"), with a variable interest rate based on the London Interbank Offered Rate plus 70 basis points. The proceeds were used to repay SCE's commercial paper borrowings and for general corporate purposes. As noted below, the February 2019 SCE Term Loan was fully repaid in April 2019.
In April 2019, Edison International Parent borrowed $1.0 billion under a Term Loan Agreement due in April 2020 ("April 2019 Edison International Parent Term Loan"), with a variable interest rate based on the London Interbank Offered Rate plus 90 basis points. Of the proceeds, $750 million was contributed to SCE and SCE used this contribution to repay the February 2019 SCE Term Loan as discussed above. The remainder of the proceeds were used for general corporate and working capital purposes. The April 2019 Edison International Parent Term Loan was fully repaid in December 2019.
In June 2019, SCE and Edison International Parent amended the maturity date of their multi-year revolving credit facilities of
$3.0 billion and $1.5 billion, respectively. The facilities now mature in May 2024, with an option to extend for an additional
year, which may be exercised upon agreement between SCE or Edison International Parent and their respective lenders.

capital requirements to support operations and capital expenditures. Edison International Parent's credit facility is used to
support commercial paper borrowings and for general corporate purposes.
