Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On May 31, 2024, the Company entered into a Second Amendment to Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, among Black Hills Corporation, as Borrower, the financial institutions party thereto, as Banks, and U.S. Bank National Association, as Administrative Agent (the “Amended Revolver”). The Amended Revolver extends the term from July 19, 2026 to May 31, 2029, with two one-year extension options (subject to consent from the lenders). The Amended Revolver retains an accordion feature that allows the Company to increase availability from $750 million to up to $1 billion with the consent of the administrative agent, the issuing agents and each bank increasing or providing a new commitment. Otherwise, the Amended Revolver is on terms that are similar, in all material respects, to the terms of the revolving credit agreement that it amends. As of May 31, 2024, there were no borrowings outstanding, and there were $3.5 million of letters of credit issued, under the Amended Revolver. The Amended Revolver is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Form 8-K.
