Nonrecourse Debt |
8. Nonrecourse Debt We have outstanding the following asset-backed nonrecourse debt and bank loans (dollars in millions):
We have pledged the ownership interest in the relevant assets or the relevant assets themselves to bankruptcy remote entities as security for the nonrecourse debt. The assets and credit of these entities are not available to satisfy any of our other debts and obligations, except as set forth in the debt agreements. The debtors can only look to the cash flows of the pledged assets to satisfy the debt and we are not liable for nonpayment of such cash flows. The debt agreements contain terms, conditions, covenants, and representations and warranties that are customary and typical for a transaction of this nature, including limitations on the incurrence of liens and indebtedness, investments, fundamental organizational changes, dispositions, changes in the nature of business, transactions with affiliates, use of proceeds and stock repurchases. The agreements also include customary events of default, the occurrence of which may result in termination of the agreements, acceleration of amounts due, and accrual of default interest. We typically act as servicer for the debt transactions. We have guaranteed the performance of the representations and warranties and other obligations of certain of our subsidiaries under certain of the debt agreements and provided an indemnity against certain losses from “bad acts” of such subsidiaries including fraud, failure to disclose a material fact, theft, misappropriation, voluntary bankruptcy or unauthorized transfers. In the case of the debt secured by our renewable energy equity interests, we have also guaranteed the compliance of our subsidiaries with certain tax matters and certain obligations if certain of our joint venture partners exercise their right to withdraw from our partnerships. The HASI Sustainable Yield Bond (“HASI SYB”) 2015-1 consists of two notes, (i) $101 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.28% HASI SYB 2015-1A, Class A Bonds (the “Class A Bonds”) and (ii) $18 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.0% HASI SYB 2015-1B, Class B Bonds (the “Class B Bonds”), both with an anticipated repayment date in October 2034. The Class A Bonds rank senior to the Class B Bonds in priority of payment. We retained the Class B Bonds. The other loan and debt transactions were negotiated with, and held by, commercial banks, including one loan agreement that has a corporate financial subsidiary as a co-lender. In connection with several of our nonrecourse debt borrowings, we have entered into the following interest rate swaps that are designated as cash flow hedges (dollars in millions):
The total fair value of our hedges relating to interest rate hedges that are effective in offsetting variable cash flows is reflected as unrealized losses in accumulated other comprehensive income and in Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, all of our derivatives were designated as hedging instruments and there was no ineffectiveness recorded on our designated hedges and no portion of the Accumulated other comprehensive income, net of associated deferred income tax effects, related to our interest rate hedges was reclassified into interest expense.
The next 12-months of stated minimum maturities of nonrecourse debt are as follows:
The stated minimum maturities of nonrecourse debt above include only the mandatory minimum principal payments. To the extent there are additional cash flows received from Strong Upwind Holdings II, LLC, Strong Upwind Holdings III, LLC or Buckeye Wind Energy Class B Holdings LLC, these additional cash flows are required to be used to make additional principal payments against the respective HASI SYB Loan Agreement 2015-1 and HASI SYB Loan Agreement 2015-2 notes. |
