NRG Energy, Inc. Announces Proposed Offering of Pre-Capitalized Trust Securities to Replace Maturing Pre-Capitalized Trust Securities

NRG Energy, Inc. (NYSE:NRG) announced a proposed offering of pre-capitalized trust securities redeemable 2028 (the “P-Caps”) by Alexander Funding Trust II, a newly-formed Delaware statutory trust (the “Trust”). The P-Caps are intended to replace NRG’s existing pre-capitalized trust securities redeemable 2023 issued by Alexander Funding Trust, which mature on November 15, 2023.

The Trust will initially invest the proceeds from the sale of the P-Caps in a portfolio of principal and/or interest strips of U.S. Treasury securities (the “Eligible Assets”) and will enter into a facility agreement with NRG, pursuant to which NRG will pay a facility fee to the Trust, and NRG will agree to issue senior secured notes due 2028 (the “Secured Notes” and, together with the P-Caps, the “P-Caps Securities”) to the Trust under certain circumstances. The Eligible Assets held by the Trust will be pledged as collateral for the benefit of certain banks that have agreed to provide letters of credit for NRG’s account to support NRG’s existing and future collateral obligations. NRG will not receive any proceeds directly from the offering of the P-Caps.

Any Secured Notes will be guaranteed on a first-priority basis by each of NRG’s current and future subsidiaries that guarantee indebtedness under its credit agreement and will be secured by a first priority security interest in the same collateral that is pledged for the benefit of the lenders under NRG’s credit agreement, which consists of a substantial portion of the property and assets owned by NRG and the guarantors. The collateral securing any Secured Notes will be released if NRG obtains an investment grade rating from two out of the three credit rating agencies, subject to reversion if such credit rating agencies withdraw NRG’s investment grade rating or downgrade NRG’s rating below investment grade.

The P-Caps Securities are being offered only to qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and who are also “qualified purchasers” as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The P-Caps Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements.

This press release does not constitute an offer to sell any security, including the P-Caps Securities, nor a solicitation for an offer to purchase any security, including the P-Caps Securities.
