Long-Term Debt Financing Transactions
The following long-term debt transactions occurred in the six months ended June 30, 2021:
PSE&G
issued $450 million of 0.95% Secured Medium-Term Notes, Series N, due March 2026,
issued $450 million of 3.00% Secured Medium-Term Notes, Series N, due March 2051,
retired $300 million of 1.90% Medium-Term Notes, Series K, at maturity, and
retired $134 million of 9.25% Mortgage Bonds, Series CC, at maturity.
PSEG Power
redeemed in May at par $700 million of 3.00% Senior Notes due to mature in June 2021, and
redeemed in June at par $250 million of 4.15% Senior Notes due to mature in September 2021.
In August 2021, PSEG Power redeemed its $44 million of Pennsylvania Economic Development Financing Authority Variable Rate Bonds.
Debt Covenants
PSEG Power’s existing credit agreements and senior notes contain covenants restricting the ability of PSEG Power and its subsidiaries that guarantee its indebtedness from consummating certain mergers, consolidations or asset sales. The disposal of PSEG Power’s non-nuclear generating fleet could trigger a default under one or more of these provisions. For these reasons, or for other reasons, PSEG Power would expect to redeem its outstanding senior notes, at a price equal to the principal amount thereof plus a make-whole premium. Any actual redemption price would depend on the applicable treasury rate in effect at such time and the cost of such redemption would be material. In March 2021, PSEG Power and its subsidiaries received waivers from the lenders and the administrative agent under their existing credit agreements permitting them to divest, in one or more transactions, some or all of its and its subsidiaries’ non-nuclear assets without breaching the terms of the agreements.
Short-Term Liquidity
PSEG meets its short-term liquidity requirements, as well as those of PSEG Power, primarily through the issuance of commercial paper and, from time to time, short-term loans. PSE&G maintains its own separate commercial paper program to meet its short-term liquidity requirements. Each commercial paper program is fully back-stopped by its own separate credit facilities.
The commitments under the $4.2 billion credit facilities are provided by a diverse bank group. As of June 30, 2021, the total available credit capacity was $3.9 billion.
As of June 30, 2021, no single institution represented more than 9% of the total commitments in the credit facilities.
As of June 30, 2021, total credit capacity was in excess of the total anticipated maximum liquidity requirements over PSEG’s 12-month planning horizon, including access to external financing to meet redemptions.
Each of the credit facilities is restricted as to availability and use to the specific companies as listed in the following table; however, if necessary, the PSEG facilities can also be used to support its subsidiaries’ liquidity needs.
The total credit facilities and available liquidity as of June 30, 2021 were as follows:
