Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
Reference is made to the Current Reports on Form 8-K filed on April 1, 2011 and April 8, 2011, by each of Energy Future Holdings Corp. (EFH Corp.) and Energy Future Competitive Holdings Company (EFCH) regarding the solicitation of consents by Texas Competitive Electric Holdings Company LLC (TCEH), a subsidiary of EFH Corp. and EFCH, from lenders (the Lenders) under its Credit Agreement dated as of October 10, 2007 (as amended, the Senior Secured Credit Facilities), for an amendment to such credit facilities (the Amendment) and the extension of certain loans and commitments under such credit facilities (the Extension). On April 7, 2011, TCEH received the requisite consents from Lenders in order for the Amendment to become effective. As a result, the Amendment was executed by the requisite parties and became effective.
Pursuant to the Extension, TCEH offered all of its lenders under the TCEH Senior Secured Credit Facilities the right to extend:
(1) the maturity of TCEHs first lien term loans held by accepting lenders (the Extended Term Loans) from October 10, 2014 to October 10, 2017 and increase the interest rate with respect to the Extended Term Loans from the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus 3.50% to LIBOR plus 4.50%;
(2) the maturity of TCEHs first lien deposit letter of credit loans held by accepting lenders (the Extended LC Loans) from October 10, 2014 to October 10, 2017 and increase the interest rate with respect to the Extended LC Loans from LIBOR plus 3.50% to LIBOR plus 4.50%; and
(3) the maturity of the commitments under the revolving credit facility held by accepting lenders (the Extended Revolving Commitments and, together with the Extended Term Loans and the Extended LC Loans, the Extended Loans) from October 10, 2013 to October 10, 2016 and increase the interest rate with respect to the Extended Revolving Commitments from LIBOR plus 3.50% to LIBOR plus 4.50% and increase the undrawn fee with respect to such commitments from 0.50% to 1.00%.
Lenders agreed to extend the maturity of over 80% of the aggregate amount of the outstanding term loans and deposit letter of credit loans under the TCEH Senior Secured Credit Facilities, and Lenders agreed to extend a substantial portion of their commitments under the TCEH revolving credit facility. As a result, if the conditions to the effectiveness of the Extension are met (including the pro-rata repayment of loans and reduction of commitments as described in more detail below) and the Extension becomes effective as contemplated, there will be approximately:
| $15,367 million aggregate principal amount of Extended Term Loans and $3,812 million aggregate principal amount of non-extended term loans; |
| $1,020 million aggregate principal amount of Extended LC Loans and $43 million aggregate principal amount of non-extended deposit letter of credit loans; and |
| $1,384 million aggregate principal amount of Extended Revolving Commitments and $671 million aggregate principal amount of non-extended commitments under the revolving credit facility. |
The Extended Loans will include a springing maturity provision pursuant to which (a) in the event that more than $500 million aggregate principal amount of TCEHs 10.25% Senior Notes due 2015 and 10.25% Senior Notes due 2015, Series B (other than notes held by EFH Corp. or its controlled affiliates as of March 31, 2011 to the extent held as of the date of determination) or more than $150 million aggregate principal amount of TCEHs 10.50%/11.25% Senior Toggle Notes due 2016 (other than notes held by EFH Corp. or its controlled affiliates as of March 31, 2011 to the extent held as of the date of determination), as applicable, remain outstanding as of 91 days prior to the maturity date of the applicable notes and (b) TCEHs Consolidated Total Debt to Consolidated EBITDA (as each term is defined in the Senior Secured Credit Facilities) ratio is greater than 6.00 to 1.00 at such applicable determination date, then the maturity date of the Extended Loans will automatically change to 90 days prior to the maturity date of the applicable notes.
The closing and effectiveness of the Extension is conditioned upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, including, among others, (a) the closing of an offering of senior secured notes (unless waived by TCEH) and (b) the
aggregate pro-rata repayment of certain outstanding loans under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities and, solely with respect to the Extended Revolving Commitments, the reduction of certain commitments under the revolving credit facility. The extension of the term loans and deposit letter of credit loans will not be conditioned upon the effectiveness of the extension of the commitments under the revolving credit facility. If the Extension becomes effective, TCEH will pay an up-front extension fee of 350 basis points to lenders holding Extended Term Loans and Extended LC Loans.

On April 14, 2011, Texas Competitive Electric Holdings Company LLC (TCEH) and TCEH Finance, Inc. (together with TCEH, the Issuer), both wholly-owned subsidiaries of Energy Future Holdings Corp. (EFH Corp.) and Energy Future Competitive Holdings Company (EFCH), commenced a private offering (the Offering) of $1,725 million aggregate principal amount of the Issuers Senior Secured Notes due 2020 (the Notes). In connection with the Offering, the Issuer disclosed the financial information provided below. In addition, on April 14, 2011, the Issuer issued a press release (the Press Release) announcing the commencement of the Offering. A copy of the Press Release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K.
Neither this Form 8-K nor the Press Release shall constitute an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy, any of the Notes, nor shall there be any sale of the Notes in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of such state or jurisdiction. The Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act) or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. The Notes will be offered inside the United States only to qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act and to non-U.S. persons outside the United States in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act.
Selected Preliminary Financial Data for the Quarterly Period Ended March 31, 2011
Management of EFCH has prepared the selected preliminary financial data below in good faith based upon the most current information available to management. EFCHs normal quarterly closing and financial reporting processes with respect to such preliminary financial data have not been fully completed. As a result, the actual financial results could be different from such preliminary financial data, and any differences could be material. EFCH expects to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on or about April 29, 2011. EFCHs independent accountants have not performed their customary review procedures with respect to the preliminary financial data provided below, nor have they expressed any opinion or any other form of assurance on such information.
While the financial data provided is preliminary and subject to change, EFCH does not expect actual operating revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2011 to be different by more than 5% from the preliminary amount provided below. EFCH also does not expect actual net income (loss) and TCEH adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2011 to be different by more than 10% and 5%, respectively, from the preliminary amounts provided below.
The preliminary financial data below has been prepared on a basis consistent with EFCHs consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010 included in EFCHs annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 that it filed with the SEC on February 18, 2011. The results of operations for an interim period, including the preliminary interim financial data provided below, may not give a true indication of the results to be expected for a full year or any future period.
EFCH Preliminary Financial Data
Selected preliminary financial data for EFCH for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and actual financial data for the three months ended March 31, 2010 (amounts in millions) are provided in the table below:

(a) | EBITDA refers to earnings (net income) before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA refers to EBITDA adjusted to exclude non-cash items, unusual items and other adjustments allowable under certain of TCEHs debt arrangements. Adjusted EBITDA and EBITDA are not recognized terms under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and, thus, are non-GAAP financial measures. EFCH is providing TCEHs adjusted EBITDA solely because of the important role that it plays in respect of the certain covenants contained in TCEHs debt arrangements. EFCH does not intend for adjusted EBITDA (or EBITDA) to be an alternative to net income as a measure of operating performance or an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity or an alternative to any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, EFCH does not intend for adjusted |
EBITDA (or EBITDA) to be used as a measure of free cash flow available for managements discretionary use, because the measure excludes certain cash requirements such as interest payments, tax payments and other debt service requirements. Because not all companies use identical calculations, EFCHs presentation of adjusted EBITDA (and EBITDA) may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. |
(b) | Purchase accounting adjustments include amortization of the intangible net asset value of retail and wholesale power sales agreements, environmental credits, coal purchase contracts, nuclear fuel contracts and power purchase agreements and the stepped up value of nuclear fuel. They also include certain credits not recognized in net income due to purchase accounting. |
(c) | Impairment of assets includes impairment of land. |
(d) | Noncash compensation expenses represent amounts recorded under stock-based compensation accounting standards and exclude capitalized amounts. |
(e) | Transition and business optimization costs include incentive compensation expenses and professional fees primarily for retail billing and customer care systems enhancements. |
(f) | Transaction and merger expenses include costs related to the merger of Texas Energy Future Merger Sub Corp. with and into EFH Corp. on October 10, 2007, management fees to the private equity owners, outsourcing transition costs and costs related to certain growth initiatives. |
(g) | Restructuring and other includes gains on termination of a long-term power sales contract and settlement of amounts due from a hedging/trading counterparty, and reversal of certain liabilities accrued in purchase accounting. |
(h) | Expenses incurred to upgrade or expand a generation station reflect noncapital outage costs. |
(i) | Pro forma adjustment represents the annualization of the actual three months ended March 31, 2010 EBITDA results for these two units. |
(j) | Primarily pre-operating expenses relating to Oak Grove and Sandow 5. |
