Note 5.Debt and Credit Agreements

Long-Term Debt

In the first quarter of 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.

In the second quarter of 2021, SCE issued $400 million of Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus 0.64% first and refunding mortgage bonds due in 2023, $400 million of SOFR plus 0.83% of first and refunding mortgage bonds due in 2024, $350 million of 0.70% first and refunding mortgage bonds due in 2023 and $700 million of 1.10% first and refunding mortgage bonds due in 2024. The proceeds of these issuances were used to fund the payment of wildfire claims exceeding insurance proceeds and repay commercial paper borrowings that were used to fund the payment of wildfire claims, including amounts paid under the Woolsey Subrogation Settlement. Additionally, SCE issued $450 million of 2.50% first and refunding mortgage bonds due in 2031 and $450 million of 3.65% first and refunding mortgage bonds due in 2051. The proceeds were used to finance or refinance eligible sustainable projects.

In August 2021, SCE issued $400 million of 0.70% first and refunding mortgage bonds due in 2023 and $450 million of 0.975% first and refunding mortgage bonds due in 2024. The proceeds of these issuances were used to fund payment of wildfire claims above the amount of expected insurance proceeds, to repay commercial paper borrowings used to fund the payment of such wildfire claims and for general corporate purposes.

Senior Secured Recovery Bonds

During the first quarter of 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, 0.861% 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.
