The information set forth under Items 2.01 and 2.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.

 

Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

On May 28, 2014, Hannon Armstrong Sustainable Infrastructure Capital, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing the acquisition of all of the outstanding member interests in American Wind Capital Company, LLC (“AWCC”) from Northwharf Nominees Limited, DBD AWCC LLC, NGP Energy Technology Partners II, L.P. and C.C. Hinckley Company, LLC (collectively, the “Sellers”) in exchange for approximately $106.9 million in cash (the “Purchase Price”) pursuant to a Unit Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) dated as of May 28, 2014. The Company did not assume any of AWCC’s indebtedness in connection with the transaction. The Purchase Price is subject to customary post-closing net working capital adjustments.

In the transaction, the Company acquired more than 7,500 acres of land leased to three solar projects with a value of approximately $60 million and the rights to payments from 11 additional land leases for a diversified portfolio of wind projects with a value of approximately $27 million. In addition, another portfolio of 46 smaller streams of payments from land leases on wind projects was also purchased.

In addition, the Company entered into a three year mutually exclusive origination and servicing agreement with an entity owned by former employees and minority owners of AWCC. Under this agreement, this entity has agreed to (a) originate new similar transactions for the benefit of the Company and (b) service the existing and any new assets originated by them for the benefit of the Company. The Company paid approximately $600,000 in cash as consideration for this agreement. The entity may earn additional consideration pursuant to this agreement upon the achievement of certain objectives.

The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement, which the Company intends to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an exhibit to a subsequent report.

 

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

The amendment also expanded the eligibility criteria to reflect current market opportunities in distributed energy assets.

A copy of the amendment is attached as Exhibit 1.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. The foregoing description of the Loan Agreement amendment is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the amendment.
