- Preferred equity in subsidiaries.
The Indenture includes restrictive covenants limiting the ability to incur additional indebtedness and requiring the maintenance of a pool of unencumbered assets.
Redemption, Default, and Risks
Redemption Terms: The Issuer may redeem the Notes at any time at a price equal to the greater of 100% of the principal or a make-whole premium, plus accrued interest. On or after November 1, 2033, the redemption price is 100% of principal plus accrued interest.
Events of Default: Acceleration of maturity may occur upon:
- 30-day default on interest payments.
- Default on principal or redemption price payments.
- Failure to comply with covenants within 60 days of notice.
- Default on other debt exceeding $100 million (non-recourse debt excluded) within 60 days of notice.
- Bankruptcy, insolvency, or reorganization events.
