HA Sustainable Infrastructure Capital, Inc. (“HASI”) (NYSE: HASI), a leading investor in sustainable infrastructure assets, and KKR, a leading global investment firm, today announced that CarbonCount Holdings 1 LLC (“CCH1”), a co-investment vehicle between HASI and KKR, has agreed to issue $592 million in aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes (the “Notes”) in a private offering. The fixed-rate amortizing notes will have a 20-year final maturity. The Notes were priced at a weighted average coupon of 6.76%.

“We are excited to expand the investment capacity of CCH1, enabling both increased investment activity and capital efficiency,” said HASI Chief Revenue and Strategy Officer Marc Pangburn. “This transaction further demonstrates our ability to access low-cost capital driven by the low-risk nature of our underlying assets.”

“We created CCH1 to accelerate the build-out of sustainable infrastructure that is necessary to support energy availability, affordability and reliability in the U.S.,” said Cecilio Velasco, Managing Director, KKR. “By expanding CCH1’s investment capacity, we are taking a meaningful step forward in meeting this objective and look forward to further strengthening our strategic partnership with HASI.”

After deducting the estimated offering expenses, the net proceeds from the offering of the Notes are expected to be approximately $586 million. CCH1 intends to utilize the net proceeds to acquire, or invest in, new and/or existing sustainable infrastructure projects, in whole or in part.

Formed in May 2024 as a strategic partnership between HASI and KKR to invest in clean energy projects across the United States, CCH1 was established with an initial capital commitment of up to $2 billion over an 18-month period. With this transaction, CCH1’s investment capacity has been increased to $2.6 billion, and the term of the investment period has been extended through November 2026.

Morgan Stanley and KKR Capital Markets served as Joint Lead Placement Agents on the transaction.

The Notes were offered only to persons reasonably believed to be institutional accredited investors as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) that are also “qualified purchasers” within the meaning of Section (2)(a)(51)(A) of the Investment Company Act of 1940.
