Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Amended and Restated Stock Purchase Agreement
As previously disclosed in Dynegy Inc.s (Dynegy) Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 15, 2016 (the Initial 8-K), Dynegy, certain affiliated investment funds of Energy Capital Partners III, LLC (the ECP Funds), Atlas Power, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (Atlas Power), and Terawatt Holdings, LP, an affiliate of the ECP Funds, entered into an Amended and Restated Interim Sponsors Agreement, dated as of June 14, 2016 (the A&R Interim Sponsors Agreement). Pursuant to the A&R Interim Sponsors Agreement, on June 27, 2016, a wholly owned subsidiary of Dynegy acquired from the ECP Funds all of the limited liability company interests in Atlas Power that it did not already own (the ECP Buyout), and Atlas Power became an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Dynegy.
In connection with the ECP Buyout, Atlas Power Finance, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company that is a wholly owned subsidiary of Atlas Power (Purchaser), GDF SUEZ Energy North America, Inc., a Delaware corporation (Target), and International Power, S.A., a societe anonyme under the laws of Belgium (Seller), entered into an Amended and Restated Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of June 27, 2016 (the A&R Delta Stock Purchase Agreement). The A&R Delta Stock Purchase Agreement amends and restates in its entirety the Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of February 24, 2016 (the Original Delta Stock Purchase Agreement), by and among Purchaser, Target and Seller. The Original Delta Stock Purchase Agreement was previously disclosed in Dynegys Current Report on Form 8-K filed on March 1, 2016.
The terms of the A&R Delta Stock Purchase Agreement reflect the ECP Buyout but otherwise are substantially similar to the terms of the Original Delta Stock Purchase Agreement. Pursuant to the A&R Delta Stock Purchase Agreement, Purchaser will purchase from Seller all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Target for a base purchase price of $3.3 billion in cash, subject to certain adjustments (the Delta Transaction).
The foregoing description of the A&R Delta Stock Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the A&R Delta Stock Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 2.1 hereto and the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference.
Amended and Restated Equity Commitment Letter
In connection with the A&R Delta Stock Purchase Agreement, Dynegy has entered into an amended and restated equity commitment letter with Purchaser and Target (the A&R Dynegy Equity Commitment Letter), pursuant to which Dynegy has agreed to provide $1.585 billion of equity financing in the aggregate to Purchaser for purposes of funding Purchasers obligation to purchase the outstanding common stock of Target, subject to the terms and conditions of the A&R Dynegy Equity Commitment Letter. The A&R Dynegy Equity Commitment Letter amends and restates in its entirety the equity commitment letter, dated as of February 24, 2016, by and among Dynegy, Atlas Power and Purchaser, which was previously disclosed in Dynegys Current Report on Form 8-K filed on March 1, 2016.
The foregoing description of the A&R Dynegy Equity Commitment Letter and the transactions contemplated thereby is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the A&R Dynegy Equity Commitment Letter, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference.
Amended and Restated Dynegy Guarantee
In connection with the A&R Delta Stock Purchase Agreement, Dynegy entered into an amended and restated limited guarantee in favor of Target (the A&R Dynegy Guarantee), pursuant to which Dynegy has agreed to guarantee 100% of Purchasers obligation to pay the reverse termination fee of $132 million if such fee becomes payable under the terms and conditions of the A&R Delta Stock Purchase Agreement. The A&R Dynegy Guarantee amends and restates in its entirety the limited guarantee, dated as of February 24, 2016, entered into by Dynegy in favor of Target, which was previously disclosed in Dynegys Current Report on Form 8-K filed on March 1, 2016.
The foregoing description of the A&R Dynegy Guarantee and the transactions contemplated thereby is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the A&R Dynegy Guarantee, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.2 hereto and the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference.
Amended and Restated Interim Sponsors Agreement
The description of the A&R Interim Sponsors Agreement contained in the Initial 8-K is incorporated herein by reference. The version of the A&R Interim Sponsors Agreement filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Initial 8-K inadvertently omitted the following from the end of Section 2.19.2(1) thereof: , provided, that in no event shall DYN pay the Purchase Price prior to the occurrence of the Second Buyout Condition. The corrected version of the A&R Interim Sponsors Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.3. The description of the A&R Interim Sponsors Agreement is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the A&R Interim Sponsors Agreement, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference.
