Item 1.01. | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On October 21, 2020 (the “Closing Date”), EnLink Midstream Funding, LLC, a bankruptcy-remote special purpose entity (the “SPV”) that is an indirect subsidiary of EnLink Midstream, LLC (“ENLC”), entered into a three-year committed accounts receivable securitization facility (the “AR Facility”) of up to $250 million with PNC Bank, National Association, as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”) and lender, and PNC Capital Markets, LLC (“PNCCM”), as structuring agent.
In connection with the AR Facility, certain subsidiaries of ENLC, as originators (the “Originators”), have sold and contributed, and will continue to sell or contribute, pursuant to a Sale and Contribution Agreement, dated as of the Closing Date (the “Sale and Contribution Agreement”), all of their accounts receivable and certain related assets (collectively, the “Receivables”) to the SPV, a separate legal subsidiary of ENLC whose sole business consists of the purchase, or acceptance through capital contributions, of the Receivables and whose assets are not available to satisfy creditors of ENLC, the Originators, or any other subsidiary of ENLC.
The SPV financed its acquisition of the Receivables, and will finance its ongoing purchase of the Receivables, in part by obtaining secured loans from the lenders party to the Receivables Financing Agreement, dated as of the Closing Date (the “RFA”), among the SPV, EnLink Midstream Operating, LP, as initial servicer (the “Servicer”), the Administrative Agent, the lenders party thereto, and PNCCM. The amount available for borrowings at any one time under the RFA is limited to a borrowing base amount calculated based on the outstanding balance of eligible Receivables, subject to certain reserves, concentration limits, and other limitations. Borrowings under the RFA bear interest based on LIBOR or LMIR (each as defined in the RFA), in each case subject to a minimum floor of 37.5 basis points, plus a drawn fee initially in the amount of 162.5 bps. The drawn fee varies based on ENLC’s credit rating, and the SPV also pays a fee on the undrawn committed amount of the RFA. Interest and fees payable by the SPV under the RFA are due monthly.
The SPV pledged its ownership interest in the Receivables as collateral security for all amounts outstanding under the RFA, and the Servicer will perform administrative and collection services relating to the Receivables on behalf of the SPV for a fee.
The RFA is scheduled to terminate on October 20, 2023, unless extended in accordance with its terms or earlier terminated, at which time no further advances will be available and the obligations thereunder repaid in full by no later than (i) the date that is ninety (90) days following such date or (ii) such earlier date on which the loans under the RFA become due and payable.
The purchase price for the sale of the Receivables by an Originator to the SPV consisted of, and will continue to consist of, a combination of (i) equity contributions in the SPV from its direct parent, (ii) cash available to the SPV from loans under the RFA and from collections on previously sold Receivables, and (iii) to the extent that the SPV does not have funds available to pay the purchase price in cash, through an increase in the principal amount of a subordinated intercompany loan deemed made by such Originator to the SPV.
ENLC guaranteed the respective obligations of the Originators and the Servicer under the Sale and Contribution Agreement and the RFA, as applicable, pursuant to a Performance Guaranty dated as of the Closing Date. However, neither ENLC nor any of its subsidiaries guarantees the SPV’s borrowings under the RFA or the collectability of the Receivables.
As of the Closing Date there were $225 million of borrowings by the SPV under the RFA. ENLC used the cash proceeds from the sale of the Receivables to the SPV to repay borrowings under its revolving credit facility.
The RFA and the Sale and Contribution Agreement contain certain customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants, indemnification provisions, and events of default, including those providing for termination of the AR Facility and the acceleration of amounts owed by the SPV under the RFA if, among other things, the SPV fails to pay principal or interest when due, a borrowing base deficiency exists, certain cross defaults, judgments, or bankruptcy events occur with respect to the SPV, ENLC, ENLC’s managing member, the Servicer, or any of the Originators, certain events negatively affecting the overall credit quality of the Receivables occur, breaches of representations and warranties or covenants occur, a change of control occurs, or if the consolidated leverage ratio of ENLC exceeds limits identical to those in its revolving credit facility.
The foregoing description of the Sale and Contribution Agreement and the RFA does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Sale and Contribution Agreement and the RFA, respectively, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, respectively, and are incorporated by reference herein.
