Dividend Restrictions

 

The Registrant Subsidiaries pay dividends to Parent provided funds are legally available. Various charter provisions and regulatory requirements may impose certain restrictions on the ability of the Registrant Subsidiaries to transfer funds to Parent in the form of dividends.

 

Federal Power Act

As applicable, the Registrant Subsidiaries understand “capital account” to mean the par value of the common stock multiplied by the number of shares outstanding.

 

Additionally, the Federal Power Act creates a reserve on earnings attributable to hydroelectric generating plants. Because of their respective ownership of such plants, this reserve applies to APCo, I&M and OPCo.

 

None of these restrictions limit the ability of the Registrant Subsidiaries to pay dividends out of retained earnings.

Credit Facilities

 

AEP has two $1.5 billion credit facilities, under which up to $1.35 billion may be issued as letters of credit. In July 2011, AEP replaced the $1.5 billion facility due in 2012 with a new $1.75 billion facility maturing in July 2016 and extended the $1.5 billion facility due in 2013 to expire in June 2015. As of June 30, 2011, the maximum future payments for letters of credit issued under the two $1.5 billion credit facilities were $150 thousand for I&M and $4 million for SWEPCo.

 

In March 2011, the Registrant Subsidiaries and certain other companies in the AEP System terminated a $478 million credit agreement that was scheduled to mature in April 2011 and was used to support variable rate Pollution Control Bonds. In March 2011, certain variable rate Pollution Control Bonds were remarketed and supported by bilateral letters of credit for $361 million while others were reacquired and are being held in trust. As of June 30, 2011, $472 million of variable rate Pollution Control Bonds were remarketed or reacquired as follows:

Sale of Receivables – AEP Credit

 

Under a sale of receivables arrangement, the Registrant Subsidiaries sell, without recourse, certain of their customer accounts receivable and accrued unbilled revenue balances to AEP Credit and are charged a fee based on AEP Credit's financing costs, administrative costs and uncollectible accounts experience for each Registrant Subsidiary's receivables. APCo does not have regulatory authority to sell its West Virginia accounts receivable. The costs of customer accounts receivable sold are reported in Other Operation expense on the Registrant Subsidiaries' income statements. The Registrant Subsidiaries manage and service their customer accounts receivable sold.

 

In July 2011, AEP Credit renewed its receivables securitization agreement. The agreement provides commitments of $750 million from bank conduits to finance receivables from AEP Credit with an increase to $800 million for the months of July, August and September to accommodate seasonal demand. A commitment of $375 million, with the seasonal increase to $425 million for the months of July, August and September, expires in June 2012 and the remaining commitment of $375 million expires in June 2014.

Dividend Restrictions

 

The Registrant Subsidiaries pay dividends to Parent provided funds are legally available. Various charter provisions and regulatory requirements may impose certain restrictions on the ability of the Registrant Subsidiaries to transfer funds to Parent in the form of dividends.

 

Federal Power Act

 

The Federal Power Act prohibits each of the Registrant Subsidiaries from participating “in the making or paying of any dividends of such public utility from any funds properly included in capital account.” The term “capital account” is not defined in the Federal Power Act or its regulations. As applicable, the Registrant Subsidiaries understand “capital account” to mean the par value of the common stock multiplied by the number of shares outstanding.

 

Additionally, the Federal Power Act creates a reserve on earnings attributable to hydroelectric generating plants. Because of their respective ownership of such plants, this reserve applies to APCo, I&M and OPCo.

 

None of these restrictions limit the ability of the Registrant Subsidiaries to pay dividends out of retained earnings.

 

Charter and Leverage Restrictions

 

Provisions within the articles or certificates of incorporation of the Registrant Subsidiaries relating to preferred stock or shares restrict the payment of cash dividends on common and preferred stock or shares.

Dividend Restrictions

 

The Registrant Subsidiaries pay dividends to Parent provided funds are legally available. Various charter provisions and regulatory requirements may impose certain restrictions on the ability of the Registrant Subsidiaries to transfer funds to Parent in the form of dividends.

 

Federal Power Act

 

The Federal Power Act prohibits each of the Registrant Subsidiaries from participating “in the making or paying of any dividends of such public utility from any funds properly included in capital account.” The term “capital account” is not defined in the Federal Power Act or its regulations. As applicable, the Registrant Subsidiaries understand “capital account” to mean the par value of the common stock multiplied by the number of shares outstanding.

 

Additionally, the Federal Power Act creates a reserve on earnings attributable to hydroelectric generating plants. Because of their respective ownership of such plants, this reserve applies to APCo, I&M and OPCo.

 

None of these restrictions limit the ability of the Registrant Subsidiaries to pay dividends out of retained earnings.

 

Charter and Leverage Restrictions

 

Provisions within the articles or certificates of incorporation of the Registrant Subsidiaries relating to preferred stock or shares restrict the payment of cash dividends on common and preferred stock or shares.

 

Utility Money Pool – AEP System

 

The AEP System uses a corporate borrowing program to meet the short-term borrowing needs of its subsidiaries. The corporate borrowing program includes a Utility Money Pool, which funds the utility subsidiaries. The AEP System Utility Money Pool operates in accordance with the terms and conditions approved in a regulatory order. The amount of outstanding loans (borrowings) to/from the Utility Money Pool as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 is included in Advances to/from Affiliates on each of the Registrant Subsidiaries' balance sheets. The Utility Money Pool participants' money pool activity and their corresponding authorized borrowing limits for the six months ended June 30, 2011 are described in the following table:

Credit Facilities

 

AEP has two $1.5 billion credit facilities, under which up to $1.35 billion may be issued as letters of credit. In July 2011, AEP replaced the $1.5 billion facility due in 2012 with a new $1.75 billion facility maturing in July 2016 and extended the $1.5 billion facility due in 2013 to expire in June 2015. As of June 30, 2011, the maximum future payments for letters of credit issued under the two $1.5 billion credit facilities were $150 thousand for I&M and $4 million for SWEPCo.

 

Sale of Receivables – AEP Credit

 

Under a sale of receivables arrangement, the Registrant Subsidiaries sell, without recourse, certain of their customer accounts receivable and accrued unbilled revenue balances to AEP Credit and are charged a fee based on AEP Credit's financing costs, administrative costs and uncollectible accounts experience for each Registrant Subsidiary's receivables. APCo does not have regulatory authority to sell its West Virginia accounts receivable. The costs of customer accounts receivable sold are reported in Other Operation expense on the Registrant Subsidiaries' income statements. The Registrant Subsidiaries manage and service their customer accounts receivable sold.

 

In July 2011, AEP Credit renewed its receivables securitization agreement. The agreement provides commitments of $750 million from bank conduits to finance receivables from AEP Credit with an increase to $800 million for the months of July, August and September to accommodate seasonal demand. A commitment of $375 million, with the seasonal increase to $425 million for the months of July, August and September, expires in June 2012 and the remaining commitment of $375 million expires in June 2014.

 

The amount of accounts receivable and accrued unbilled revenues under the sale of receivables agreement for each Registrant Subsidiary as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 was as follows:
