Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On July 23, 2025 (the “Closing Date”), EVgo Voyager Borrower LLC (the “Borrower”), a subsidiary of EVgo Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into a credit agreement (as it may be amended from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) with Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation (“SMBC”), as administrative agent and the lenders (the “Lenders”) and other parties thereto from time to time.

 

The Credit Agreement provides for a term facility of up to $300 million, consisting of (i) a $225 million committed term loan facility (the “Commitments”) with a maturity date of July 23, 2030 and (ii) a $75 million uncommitted incremental term loan facility (the “Incremental Facility”). The Borrower may borrow a loan (each, a “Loan”) on a monthly basis under the Credit Agreement (each, a “Borrowing”) at any time beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the earliest of (i) the third anniversary of the Closing Date, (ii) the date on which Loans have been made in an amount greater than or equal to 95% of the original aggregate amount of the Commitments as of the Closing Date, and (iii) the date the Commitments are otherwise terminated under the Credit Agreement (the “Availability Period”). Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions, including contribution to the Borrower by the Company’s subsidiary, EVgo Services LLC (“Sponsor”) of the electric vehicle fast charging stalls (“Stalls”) to which the applicable Borrowing relates, delivery of a Borrowing notice and the ongoing accuracy of certain representations and warranties. The Borrower submitted its first request for a Borrowing of approximately $48 million on the Closing Date and received such Borrowing on July 24, 2025 (the “Initial Borrowing”).

 

All proceeds from the Credit Agreement will be used to reimburse the Sponsor for up to 60% of certain costs associated with the construction, installment, deployment and operation of the Stalls contributed to the Borrower by the Sponsor pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement and pay for certain transaction costs. The Loans are expected to support the buildout of more than 1,900 Stalls nationwide (the “Project”), including 1,500 new Stalls and 400 Stalls that the Sponsor contributed from its existing public network to the Borrower as collateral in connection with the Initial Borrowing. Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Sponsor may contribute additional Stalls or cash to the Borrower from time to time during the Availability Period. The Sponsor will provide charge point operator services to the Borrower in connection with the Project for the duration of the Credit Agreement.

 

Beginning on the last business day of the first full calendar quarter to occur after the Closing Date, the Borrower will be required to make quarterly payments of principal and/or interest to the Lenders. Loans under the Credit Agreement may, at the election of the Borrower, be in the form of a SOFR Loan or an ABR Loan (each as defined in the Credit Agreement). SOFR Loans bear interest a rate per annum equal to Term SOFR (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus (i) 3.250% for the period from the Closing Date until and excluding the fourth anniversary of the Closing Date and (ii) 3.500% for the period from and including the fourth anniversary of the Closing Date and thereafter. ABR Loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to ABR (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus (i) 2.250% for the period from the Closing Date until and excluding the fourth anniversary of the Closing date and (ii) 2.500% for the period from and including the fourth anniversary of the Closing Date and thereafter. Subject to certain conditions, including the existence of no events of default, the Borrower may voluntarily prepay any or all of the principal outstanding under the Credit Agreement. Additionally, upon the occurrence of certain mandatory prepayment events set forth in the Credit Agreement, the Borrower may be required to prepay certain amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement. The Borrower’s obligations to the Lenders under the Credit Agreement are required to be secured by a first priority security interest (subject to customary exceptions and permitted liens) in, among other things, the assets of the Borrower and the equity interests of the Borrower.

 

Terms applicable to the Incremental Facility, including maturity date and applicable interest rates will be agreed to by Borrower and the Lenders pricing the Incremental Facility when such Incremental Facility is committed.

 

The foregoing description of the Credit Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by references to the full text of the Credit Agreement, a copy of which is intended to be filed with the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ending September 30, 2025, subject to any potential redactions thereto as appropriate.
