Short-Term Borrowings
Exelon Corporate, ComEd, and BGE meet their short-term liquidity requirements primarily through the issuance of commercial paper. PECO meets its short-term liquidity requirements primarily through the issuance of commercial paper and borrowings from the Exelon intercompany money pool. Pepco, DPL, and ACE meet their short-term liquidity requirements primarily through the issuance of commercial paper and borrowings from the PHI intercompany money pool. PHI Corporate meets its short-term liquidity requirements primarily through the issuance of short-term notes and borrowings from the Exelon intercompany money pool. The Registrants may use their respective credit facilities for general corporate purposes, including meeting short-term funding requirements and the issuance of letters of credit.

(a)Excludes credit facility agreements arranged at minority and community banks. See below for additional information.
(b)Includes revolving credit agreements at Exelon Corporate with a maximum program size of $900 million and $600 million as of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Exelon Corporate had $449 million in outstanding commercial paper as of December 31, 2022 and no outstanding commercial paper as of December 31, 2021.
(c)Represents the consolidated amounts of Pepco, DPL, and ACE.
(d)The standard maximum program size for revolving credit facilities is $300 million each for Pepco, DPL and ACE based on the credit agreements in place. However, the facilities at Pepco, DPL, and ACE have the ability to flex to $500 million, $500 million, and $350 million, respectively. The borrowing capacity may be increased or decreased during the term of the facility, except that (i) the sum of the borrowing capacity must equal the total amount of the facility, and (ii) the aggregate amount of credit used at any given time by each of Pepco, DPL, or ACE may not exceed $900 million or the maximum amount of short-term debt the company is permitted to have outstanding by its regulatory authorities. The total number of the borrowing reallocations may not exceed eight per year during the term of the facility. As of December 23, 2022, this ability was utilized to increase Pepco's program size to $400 million. As a result, the program sizes for DPL and ACE were decreased to $250 million each, which prevents the aggregate amount of outstanding short-term debt from potentially exceeding the $900 million limit.
In order to maintain their respective commercial paper programs in the amounts indicated above, each Registrant must have credit facilities in place, at least equal to the amount of its commercial paper program. A registrant does not issue commercial paper in an aggregate amount exceeding the then available capacity under its credit facility.
As of December 31, 2022, the Registrants had the following aggregate bank commitments, credit facility borrowings, and available capacity under their respective credit facilities:

Revolving Credit Agreements
On February 1, 2022, Exelon Corporate and the Utility Registrants each entered into a new 5-year revolving credit facility that replaced its existing syndicated revolving credit facility. The following table reflects the credit agreements:
BorrowerAggregate Bank CommitmentInterest Rate
Exelon Corporate$900 SOFR plus 1.275 %
ComEd1,000 SOFR plus 1.000 %

Borrowings under Exelon’s, ComEd’s, PECO’s, BGE's, Pepco's, DPL's, and ACE's revolving credit agreements bear interest at a rate based upon either the prime rate or a SOFR-based rate, plus an adder based upon the particular Registrant’s credit rating. The adders for the prime based borrowings and SOFR-based borrowings are presented in the following table:
Exelon(a)

__________
(a)Includes interest rate adders at Exelon Corporate of 27.5 basis points and 127.5 basis points for prime and SOFR-based borrowings, respectively.
If any registrant loses its investment grade rating, the maximum adders for prime rate borrowings and SOFR-based rate borrowings would be 65 basis points and 165 basis points, respectively. The credit agreements also require the borrower to pay a facility fee based upon the aggregate commitments. The fee varies depending upon the respective credit ratings of the borrower.
Short-Term Loan Agreements
On March 23, 2017, Exelon Corporate entered into a term loan agreement for $500 million. The loan agreement was renewed on March 14, 2022 and will expire on March 16, 2023. Pursuant to the loan agreement, loans made thereunder bear interest at a variable rate equal to SOFR plus 0.65% and all indebtedness thereunder is unsecured. The loan agreement is reflected in Exelon's Consolidated Balance Sheets within Short-term borrowings.
On March 31, 2021, Exelon Corporate entered into a 364-day term loan agreement for $150 million with a variable interest rate of LIBOR plus 0.65% and an expiration date of March 30, 2022. Exelon Corporate repaid the term loan on March 30, 2022.
In connection with the separation, on January 24, 2022, Exelon Corporate entered into a 364-day term loan agreement for $1.15 billion. The loan agreement had an expiration date of January 23, 2023. Pursuant to the loan agreement, loans made thereunder bore interest at a variable rate equal to SOFR plus 0.75% until July 23, 2022 and a rate of SOFR plus 0.975% thereafter. All indebtedness pursuant to the loan agreement was unsecured. On August 11, 2022, Exelon Corporate made a partial repayment of $575 million on the term loan. On October 11, 2022, the remaining $575 million outstanding balance was repaid in conjunction with the $500 million 18-month term loan that was entered into on October 7, 2022.
On October 4, 2022, ComEd entered into a 364-day term loan agreement for $150 million with a variable rate equal to SOFR plus 0.75% and an expiration date of October 3, 2023. The proceeds from this loan were used to repay outstanding commercial paper obligations. The loan agreement is reflected in Exelon's and ComEd's Consolidated Balance Sheets within Short-term borrowings. The balance of the loan was repaid on January 13, 2023 in conjunction with the $400 million and $575 million First Mortgage Bond agreements that were entered into on January 3, 2023.
Variable Rate Demand Bonds
DPL has outstanding obligations in respect of Variable Rate Demand Bonds (VRDB). VRDBs are subject to repayment on the demand of the holders and, for this reason, are accounted for as short-term debt in
accordance with GAAP. However, these bonds may be converted to a fixed-rate, fixed-term option to establish a maturity which corresponds to the date of final maturity of the bonds. On this basis, PHI views VRDBs as a source of long-term financing. As of both December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, $79 million in variable rate demand bonds issued by DPL were outstanding and are included in the Long-term debt due within one year in Exelon's, PHI's, and DPL's Consolidated Balance Sheets.
