Item 8.01 Other Events.
On October 17, 2022, Nevada Power Company (the "Company") entered into an Underwriting Agreement between the Company and the underwriters named therein regarding the issuance and sale of $400 million of the Company's 5.90% General and Refunding Mortgage Notes, Series GG, due 2053 (the "Notes"). The Underwriting Agreement contains certain customary representations, warranties and covenants concerning the Company and the registration statement relating to the offering of the Notes. In addition, the Company has agreed to indemnify the Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The transaction closed on October 19, 2022.
The Company will pay interest on the Notes semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year, beginning on May 1, 2023. The Notes were issued under and secured by the General and Refunding Mortgage Indenture, dated as of May 1, 2001, as amended and supplemented (the “G&R Indenture”), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee. The Notes will mature on May 1, 2053. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of the Notes to repay short-term borrowings outstanding under the Company's revolving credit facility, to fund capital expenditures and for general corporate purposes.
At any time prior to November 1, 2052 (the "Par Call Date"), the Company may redeem the Notes at its option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (1) (a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon discounted to the redemption date (assuming the notes matured on the Par Call Date) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 30 basis points less (b) interest accrued to the date of redemption, and (2) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date.
The foregoing discussion of the Notes is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Officer’s Certificate establishing the terms of the Notes under the G&R Indenture, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 4.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.
