The Term Loan represents 85% of the capital structure. A Project backed by a long term EPA with a strong investment grade off-taker somewhat mitigate the risk.
The Term Loan amortization over the initial tenor of the loan is seven years and the expected balloon at the end of the initial term (2025) is about C$176.5 million or US$132.7 million, hence introducing the refinancing risk.
The remaining EPA term of 23 years at the end of the initial tenor of the Term Loan makes the refinancing of the balloon payment likely. The Analyst notes that if no refinancing is available, the balloon payment at the end of the initial term of the loan will be fully repaid two years prior to the EPA expiry in 2048, under the conservative P99 scenario, and solely based on contracted cash flows.
The risk designation of “Neutral/Standard” reflects the EPA tail supporting refinancing at the end of the Term Loan tenor in 2025.

For option with refinance, I completed similar calculations as in options 1 and 2. However, for the first 5 years the payment was as in option 1. Then, I calculated new payment for years 11-15 by using ending balance after 60 months as new loan amount; I used APR of 4.25% compounded monthly. Then, I found present values of tax savings. In this case, present time is after 60 month in house. When

SUMMARY Several influential industry reports have pointed out that a decline in construction quality and productivity could be attributed to the performance of subcontractors who are entrusted to complete the actual works, yet subcontractor performance appraisal is a much neglected subject in construction. To facilitate subcontractor registration, management and/or selection, an equitable and reliable subcontractor performance appraisal would be indispensable. Being regarded as a reliable and practical means for performance evaluation, the balanced scorecard
SFS Energy Finance Americas (“SFS EF AM”) requests the approval to commit up to $100 million to the proposed refinancing of the existing Term Loan of Calpine Steamboat Holdings, LLC (“Steamboat” or the “Borrower”). The Borrower plans to raise about $465.0 million in the new Term Loan (the “Term Loan”) to repay about $195.0 million of the remaining senior-secured term loan as well as partially reimburse Calpine Corporation (“Calpine”) (B+/Ba3/B+; SFS Equivalent 7+) for the acquisition related costs of the Morgan Energy Center (the “MEC”). The MEC is 809 MW combined cycle facility in Decatur, Alabama. The refinancing will release the Mankato Plant (375 MW contracted facility in Minnesota) from the collateral agreement and replace it with the MEC as the collateral. In addition, the new term will extend the maturity of the new Term Loan by six years with an expected balloon at the maturity of about $126.6 million (27.2% / $120.56/kW). The balloon payment under the previous financing was about $356 million or about $578/KW. The new Term Loan maturity is the earlier of 9 years from the Closing or December 31, 2025. The Borrower also owns Freeport Energy Center (the “FEC”) – a 241 power generating facility in Freeport, Texas, and the lenders will have a first priority security interest in substantially all real and personal property and assets of these projects (FEC and MEC).

Option 1. This option raised the $200 million with a conventional 4% par value, term bonds that pay interest annually interest on December 31 for the next 10 years. This is the least expensive option as the total cost will be $280 million. $80 million over 10 years of interest expense and $200 million on 12/31/2018 for the bonds re-payment (payable). This option requires Lightpoint to pay $8 million
Alongside other criteria, financial specialists assume acknowledgment evaluations into a record to help deal with their portfolios. A rating minimize demonstrates a more serious hazard for the loan specialist. Contingent upon the affectability of the market, speculators may require a higher come back to ensure against this hazard, which thusly raises financing costs for the borrower.
The Analyst recommends maintaining the Project’s 4- rating. The assigned rating reflects cash flow stability and visibility from a long-term PPA with an investment grade off-taker, expectations that the Term Loan will fully amortize by the maturity date, and a slightly weak operating profile given higher than the normal equipment failure rate.
