Note 5.Debt and Credit Agreements

Long-Term Debt

In January 2021, SCE issued $150 million of 2.25% first and refunding mortgage bonds due in 2030 and $750 million of 2.95% first and refunding mortgage bonds due in 2051. The proceeds were primarily used to repay SCE's commercial paper borrowings and for general corporate purposes.

Senior Secured Recovery Bonds

In February 2021, SCE Recovery Funding LLC issued $338 million of Senior Secured Recovery Bonds, Series 2021-A, in three tranches ("Recovery Bonds") and used the proceeds to acquire SCE's right, title and interest in and to non-bypassable rates and other charges associated with the AB 1054 Excluded Capital Expenditures to be collected from certain existing and future customers in SCE's service territory ("Recovery Property"). The three tranches of Recovery Bonds consisted of: $138 million, 0.86% with final maturity in 2033; $100 million, 1.94% with final maturity in 2040; and $100 million, 2.51% with final maturity in 2045. The Recovery Bonds are payable only from and secured by the Recovery Property. SCE Recovery Funding LLC is consolidated by SCE for financial reporting purposes, however, the

Recovery Bonds do not constitute a debt or other legal obligation of, or interest in, SCE or any of its affiliates, except for SCE Recovery Funding LLC. SCE used the proceeds it received from the sale of Recovery Property to reimburse itself for previously incurred AB 1054 Excluded Capital Expenditures, including the retirement of related debt and financing costs. For further details, see Note 3.
