Section 1 - Registrant's Business and Operations
Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On July 8, 2011 PPL Electric Utilities Corporation ("PPL Electric" or the "Company") entered into Supplemental Indenture No. 11, dated as of July 1, 2011 ("Supplemental Indenture 11") with The Bank of New York Mellon, as Trustee ("Trustee"), supplementing and amending that certain Indenture, dated as of August 1, 2001 (the "Original Indenture", and as supplemented, including by Supplemental Indenture No. 11, the "Indenture") between the Company and the Trustee. Bonds issued under the Indenture are secured by a mortgage lien on substantially all of PPL Electric’s distribution properties, and certain of its transmission properties, subject to customary exclusions and exceptions. Supplemental Indenture No. 11 provides for the amendment of the Original Indenture to reduce the amount of new mortgage bonds issuable under the Indenture on the basis of property additions by reducing the ratio, or bonding ratio, of new bonds issuable on the basis of property additions to sixty-six and two-thirds per cent (66-2/3%). The amendments will become effective the next time PPL Electric uses property additions for any purpose under the Indenture (including for the purpose of issuing additional bonds). PPL Electric expects the amendments to become effective in the third quarter of 2011.
The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to Supplemental Indenture No. 11, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 4.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
