Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under
an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant
Sempra Global Three-Year Revolving Credit Facility
On November 18, 2005, Sempra Global, a subsidiary of Sempra Energy, entered into a Three-Year Revolving Credit Agreement with a syndicate of lenders for which Citibank, N.A. serves as administrative agent.
The credit facility permits revolving credit borrowings by Sempra Global of up to $650 million through November 2008. Sempra Global expects that the size of the facility will soon be increased to $750 million.
The credit facility also provides for the issuance of up to $300 million of letters of credit on behalf of Sempra Global. The amount of borrowings otherwise available under the facility would be reduced by the amount of outstanding letters of credit.
Sempra Global's obligations under the credit facility are guaranteed by Sempra Energy. Borrowings, none of which are outstanding, would bear interest at benchmark rates plus a margin that varies with Sempra Energy's credit ratings. The facility also requires Sempra Energy to maintain at the end of each quarter a ratio of total indebtedness to total capitalization (as defined in the facility) of no more than 65%.
The credit facility is in addition to Sempra Global's previously reported $2.5 billion Five-Year Revolving Credit Agreement which expires in August 2010. The five-year credit facility (which includes up to $400 million of letters of credit) and the credit facilities of other subsidiaries of Sempra Energy are briefly summarized in Sempra Energy's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 and its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, June 30, and September 30, 2005 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
