Item 2.03. | Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

On November 1, 2016, Roanoke Gas Company (“Roanoke”), the wholly-owned utility subsidiary of RGC Resources, Inc. (“Resources”) entered into a Term Loan Agreement and unsecured Promissory Note (referred together as “Debt Agreements”) with Branch Banking and Trust Company (“BB&T”). As provided for in the Debt Agreements, Roanoke borrowed $7 million for a term of 5 years with a variable interest rate equal to one month LIBOR plus 90 basis points payable monthly. The interest rate will be adjusted monthly on the first day of each LIBOR interest period. The principal balance and any unpaid interest are due on November 1, 2021. Simultaneous with the entry into the Debt Agreements, Resources entered into a Guaranty Agreement whereby in the event of default on the Promissory Note by Roanoke, Resources agrees to perform under the agreement.
The primary purpose of the Debt Agreements is to refinance a portion of Roanoke’s existing short-term debt into an intermediate term instrument.
The Term Loan Agreement sets forth certain representations, warranties and covenants to which Roanoke is subject, including financial covenants that limit Consolidated Long Term Indebtedness to not more than 65% of Consolidated Total Capitalization and Priority Indebtedness to not more than 15% of Consolidated Total Assets (as such terms are defined in the Term Loan Agreement).
Also on November 1, 2016, Roanoke entered into a Swap Agreement associated with the Promissory Note which will commence November 1, 2017 and will effectively convert the variable rate Promissory Note into an instrument with a fixed interest rate of 2.3% per annum. The Swap Agreement co-terminates with the corresponding Promissory Note.
