Introductory Note: As discussed below in Item 2.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Report”), on April 13, 2016, Cleco Corporate Holdings LLC (f/k/a Cleco Corporation) completed the merger (the “Merger”) contemplated by the previously announced Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 17, 2014 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Cleco Corporation, Cleco Partners L.P. (f/k/a Como 1 L.P.), a Delaware limited partnership (“Parent”), and Cleco MergerSub Inc. (f/k/a Como 3 Inc.), a Louisiana corporation and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”). In the Merger, Merger Sub merged with and into Cleco Corporation, with Cleco Corporation surviving the Merger as an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent. This Report addresses the completion of the Merger and certain related matters that occurred in connection with the completion of the Merger, including the incurrence of indebtedness that was used to pay a portion of the Merger Consideration (as defined in Item 2.01 of this Report) to holders of shares of Cleco Corporation common stock, the conversion of Cleco Corporation from a Louisiana corporation to a Louisiana limited liability company, the change of the surviving company’s name from Cleco Corporation to Cleco Corporate Holdings LLC (“Cleco Holdings”), the adoption of new or amended organizational documents by Cleco Holdings and its wholly owned subsidiary Cleco Power LLC (“Cleco Power”), the departure of directors and officers of Cleco Corporation and Cleco Power, and the appointment of directors and officers of Cleco Holdings and Cleco Power.
Item 1.02. Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement
On April 13, 2016, in connection with the completion of the Merger, (i) Cleco Corporation repaid all remaining obligations outstanding under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of October 16, 2013, among Cleco Corporation, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank, Keybank National Association, and the other lenders party thereto and terminated all agreements related thereto, and (ii) Cleco Power repaid all remaining obligations outstanding under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of October 16, 2013, among Cleco Power, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank, KeyBank National Association, and the other lenders party thereto and terminated all agreements related thereto.
Reference is hereby made to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Cleco Corporation and Cleco Power with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 17, 2013 for a description of the respective terms of such senior credit facilities.
Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
On April 13, 2016, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the parties to the Merger Agreement completed the Merger. In the Merger, Merger Sub merged with and into Cleco Corporation, with Cleco Corporation surviving the Merger as an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent. Parent is owned by a group of North American long-term infrastructure investors led by Macquarie Infrastructure Partners III, L.P. (“Macquarie”) and British Columbia Investment Management Corporation (“bcIMC”), together with John Hancock Financial (“John Hancock”) and other infrastructure investors (collectively, the “Investor Group”).
As a result of the consummation of the Merger, each outstanding share of common stock of Cleco Corporation (other than shares owned by Cleco Corporation, Parent, Merger Sub or any other direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent or Cleco Corporation) was automatically cancelled and converted into the right to receive $55.37 per share in cash, without interest (the “Merger Consideration”). The total amount of funds used to complete the Merger and related transactions was approximately $3,711.6 million, which was funded with the proceeds of the Cleco Holdings Credit Agreement (as defined in Item 2.03 of this Report), equity contributions from the Investor Group, and cash on hand. Approximately $1,257.0 million of Cleco Power’s existing indebtedness remained outstanding after the completion of the Merger and related transactions.
Additionally, immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each unvested share of restricted stock granted pursuant to any equity incentive plan or arrangement of Cleco Corporation became vested in full and was converted into the right to receive a payment in cash equal to the Merger Consideration. Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each outstanding restricted stock unit, performance stock unit and dividend equivalent unit (each a “Restricted Stock Unit” and collectively, “Restricted Stock Units”) granted pursuant to any Cleco Corporation employee stock plan became vested in full and was converted into the right to receive a payment in cash equal to the product of the Merger Consideration and the number of shares subject to such Restricted Stock Unit (subject to applicable withholding).
The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement and the Merger does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, which is incorporated herein by reference to Exhibit 2.1 of the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Cleco Corporation and Cleco Power with the SEC on October 20, 2014.
Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant
Cleco Holdings Credit Agreement
On April 13, 2016, Merger Sub entered into a $1,350.0 million three-year acquisition term loan facility and a $100.0 million five-year revolving credit facility with Mizuho Bank, Ltd., as administrative agent, Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, New York branch, Credit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank, Mizuho Bank, Ltd., Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation and The Bank of Nova Scotia, as joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners, and the other lenders named therein (the “Cleco Holdings Credit Agreement”). On the same day, Merger Sub borrowed $1,350.0 million under the acquisition term loan facility that was used to finance a portion of the Merger Consideration. As a result of the completion of the Merger and the conversion of Cleco Corporation from a Louisiana corporation to a Louisiana limited liability company (as discussed in Item 5.03 of this Report), the Cleco Holdings Credit Agreement became an obligation of, and was assumed by, Cleco Holdings (f/k/a Cleco Corporation), which is the post-conversion surviving entity of the Merger (the “Company”).
The acquisition term loan facility matures on April 13, 2019. The revolving credit facility matures on April 13, 2021, and is available for working capital and other general corporate needs.
The $100.0 million commitment under the revolving credit facility includes up to $10.0 million in swingline loans and up to $100.0 million in letters of credit, which are issuable subject to specified terms and conditions. As of April 13, 2016, $100.0 million was available for borrowing under that facility. Each of the acquisition term loan facility and the revolving credit facility bears interest, at the Company’s option, at the base rate plus a margin of 0.25% to 1.75% or an adjusted LIBOR rate plus a margin of 1.25% to 2.75%, in each case with such margin being determined based on applicable ratings from certain rating agencies with respect to the long-term secured senior indebtedness of the Company. Swingline loans bear interest at the base rate plus the applicable margin for base rate loans.
The Cleco Holdings Credit Agreement requires the Company (on a consolidated basis) to maintain its percentage of debt to total capitalization at a level that does not exceed 65%. The Cleco Holdings Credit Agreement contains customary covenants and events of default. Non-performance by the Company of its covenants could result in an event of default. If an event of default occurs or is continuing, the administrative agent may (subject to the lapse of any applicable grace period) immediately terminate all of the lenders’ commitments and declare outstanding amounts to be immediately due and payable. If certain bankruptcy events of default occur, such termination and acceleration of the Company’s obligations will be automatic.
The Company’s obligations under the Cleco Holdings Credit Agreement are secured by a pledge of the Company’s equity interests in its wholly-owned subsidiary, Cleco Power.
The foregoing summary of the Cleco Holdings Credit Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Cleco Holdings Credit Agreement, which is incorporated herein by reference to Exhibit 10.1.
Cleco Power Credit Agreement
On April 13, 2016, in connection with the completion of the Merger, Cleco Power entered into a $300.0 million five-year revolving credit facility with Mizuho Bank, Ltd., as administrative agent, Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, New York branch, Credit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank, Mizuho Bank, Ltd., Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation and The Bank of Nova Scotia, as joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners, and the other lenders named therein (the “Cleco Power Credit Agreement”). The revolving credit facility matures on April 13, 2021, and provides for working capital and other general corporate needs.
The $300.0 million commitment under the revolving credit facility includes up to $35.0 million in swingline loans and up to $300.0 million in letters of credit, which are issuable subject to specified terms and conditions. As of April 13, 2016, $300.0 million was available for borrowing under that facility. The revolving credit facility bears interest, at Cleco Power’s option, at the base rate plus a margin of 0.00% to 1.00% or an adjusted LIBOR rate plus a margin of 1.00% to 2.00%, in each case with such margin being determined based on applicable ratings from certain rating agencies with respect to the long-term unsecured senior indebtedness of Cleco Power. Swingline loans bear interest at the base rate plus the applicable margin for base rate loans.
The Cleco Power Credit Agreement requires Cleco Power (on a consolidated basis) to maintain its percentage of debt to total capitalization at a level that does not exceed 65%. The Cleco Power Credit Agreement contains certain customary covenants and events of default. Non-performance by Cleco Power of its covenants could result in an event of default. If an event of default
occurs or is continuing, the administrative agent may (subject to the lapse of any applicable grace period) immediately terminate all of the lenders’ commitments and declare outstanding amounts to be immediately due and payable. If certain bankruptcy events of default occur, such termination and acceleration of Cleco Power’s obligations will be automatic.
The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Cleco Power Credit Agreement, which is incorporated herein by reference to Exhibit 10.2.
Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing
On April 13, 2016, in connection with the completion of the Merger, the Company requested that the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) withdraw the common stock of Cleco Corporation from listing on the NYSE and file with the SEC an application on Form 25 to delist and deregister the common stock of Cleco Corporation.
