Material Changes

Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies
- Prepayment Option: CECONY retains the option to prepay the term loans prior to maturity.

- Forward-Looking Statements: The report includes standard disclaimers that actual results may differ from assumptions due to various factors identified in other SEC filings.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the interest rate and fee structure of the new $500 million Credit Agreement (not explicitly stated in the summary text).
- Confirm the total outstanding debt balance post-refinancing to assess the impact on the 0.65 debt-to-capital covenant.
- Review the maturity schedule of the remaining unsecured term loan facility to understand future refinancing needs.
- Check for any subsequent filings regarding the repayment of the new 364-day loan or extension of the facility.
