Item 1.01

 

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On April 21, 2009, DPL Inc.’s principal subsidiary, The Dayton Power and Light Company (“DP&L”), entered into a Credit Agreement with PNC Bank, National Association (“PNC Bank”) and five other lenders.  The Credit Agreement provides to DP&L on an unsecured basis a 364-day revolving credit facility in the amount of $100,000,000 (the “Credit Facility”).  Borrowings under the Credit Facility may be used for general corporate purposes.  The Credit Facility matures on April 20, 2010.  As of the date of this report, there were no outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility.

 

The Credit Agreement includes representations, warranties, covenants and acceleration, indemnity, and events of default provisions customary for this type of transaction, including one financial covenant that requires DP&L’s total debt to total capitalization not to exceed 0.65 to 1.00.

 

From time to time, certain of the lenders and/or their affiliates have provided, and may in the future provide, commercial banking services and general financing and other services to DP&L or its affiliates on commercial terms for which they have received, or may in the future receive, customary fees.  As of the date of this report, PNC Bank is one of the banks that is part of the syndicated group of banks providing DP&L with a letter of credit securing DP&L’s obligations to repay the $100,000,000 in funds that DP&L borrowed from The Ohio Air Quality Development Authority (“OAQDA”) on December 4, 2008, in connection with the OAQDA’s issuance on that date of collateralized, variable rate Revenue Refunding Bonds Series A and B due November 1, 2040.

 

A copy of the Credit Agreement is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.  Investors should refer to the Credit Agreement for the terms and conditions of the Credit Facility.
