SDG&E / SoCalGas Five Year $600 Million Revolving Credit Facility
On August 5, 2005, the combined revolving credit facility of San Diego Gas & Electric Company and Southern California Gas Company was amended and restated to:
-- Increase the combined amount of borrowings available under the facility from $500 million to $600 million.
-- Increase the amount that may be borrowed by each utility from $300 million to $500 million subject to the combined borrowing limit for both utilities of $600 million.
-- Renew and extend the term of the facility from an original term of three years expiring in May 2007 to a new term of five years expiring in August 2010.
-- Reduce the commitment fees payable under the facility and the margins over benchmark interest rates payable on borrowings.
-- Change the ratio of total indebtedness to total capitalization (as defined in the facility) that each utility is required to maintain at the end of each quarter from a maximum of 60% to a maximum of 65%.
Borrowings under the facility bear interest at benchmark rates plus a margin that varies with the borrowing utility's credit rating. Borrowings are individual obligations of the borrowing utility and a default by one utility would not constitute a default or preclude borrowings by the other utility.
The facility is provided by a syndicate of lenders for which JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. serves as administrative agent.
