Accelerated Genco Sale Sequence • Main objective is to bring assets to market as quickly as possible under a plan that maximizes proceeds, within PSALM’s procedures and limitations for fair and transparent auctions. • Key Considerations: • Need to expedite sale of most number of plants • Interest from strategic and financial investors • Time required by bidders for due diligence and to prepare binding bids • Availability of supply contracts (TSCs/BSCs) for certain plants • Funding requirement of bidders and capacity of loan market • Legal pre-conditions (creditor’s consent) and outstanding plant specific issues (e.g. steam supply agreements) • Fair and transparent process
Proposed Plan of Action(Subject to Investor Feedback) • Identify • assets expected to receive greatest interest from investors • assets with least plant specific issues still to be resolved (e.g., steam supply agreements) • Cluster auction of assets in specific weeks • Plants will be sold individually but sale clustered within a week • Avoid multiple bids on one day (logistically difficult); instead, schedule one bid per day during a “bidding week”
Proposed Plan of Action(Subject to Investor Feedback) • Fast-track negotiations of supply contracts (TSCs/BSCs) with distributors (especially Meralco). Assignment of TSCs to certain plants will make it easier for investors to finance acquisition of such assets • Offer bid financing (deferred payments with interest) for certain large plants to make them more affordable to investors, and maximize proceeds to government
Bid Financing (Deferred payments) • Allows for an accelerated sale process which would not be possible if bidders need to obtain financing (can take months to arrange particularly given the limited capacity of the Philippine lending market) • Further, the closing process can take considerable time due to lender requirements - the deferred payment mechanism could significantly reduce the closing period • Deferred Payment Structure & Terms • Allows refinancing. • Equal semi-annual payments to encourage refinancing. • Capture greater cash proceeds upfront by increasing down payment from 40% upfront to 50%. • Bidders will retain the flexibility to prepay if they are able to source cheaper external financing at a later date
Bid Financing (Deferred payments) Factors Considered in Determining Deferred Payment Terms for each Asset • Size (MW) • Offer financing for large plants (threshold set at > 150MW) • Remaining Life • Tenor stepped up according to remaining life of plants. • TSCs • Preference for financing given to plants to be sold without TSCs - also consider offering financing for non-TSC plants in the <150 MW category
Financial Terms and Conditions • YNN posted US$9 million irrevocable letter of credit from a reputable bank • YNN to pay 40% of the Purchase Price upfront amounting to US$ 222.80 million upon Closing • YNN to maintain DSCR of at least 1.3x (which based on our projections is achievable) • YNN to post performance bond amounting to US$ 35.95 million to secure semi-annual deferred payments • If YNN defaults on Deferred Payments, PSALM can draw from Performance Bond; if Performance Bond is not replenished within the prescribed period, YNN will be in default and PSALM can take over control and operations of plant without refunding YNN the upfront payment
Masinloc Revenue and Cashflow Projections Cashflows are sufficient to cover deferred payments and maintain a healthy Debt Service Coverage Ratio during the repayment period of Deferreds.
Masinloc Revenue and Cashflow Projections vis-à-vis Deferred Payments
Assumptions • Tariff • Pre-WESM, current regulated price of P3.91/kwh as approved by the ERC; • Upon implementation of WESM, a decline to an estimated market price of P3.09/kwh (real) by 2011 based on the Long-run Avoidable Cost (LRAC) of a base load plant • Capacity factor - 83% (long-term) • Total plant useful life - 30 years, with remaining useful life of 24 years as of January 1, 2005 • Accounts Receivable - 30 days • Operating Expenses (OPEX) – includes Fixed O&M expenses (FOM), Variable O&M expenses (VOM) as well as insurance. We assumed OPEX will improve and converge to international standards by 2009.
MASINLOC SALE Conclusion • Need to serve the Notice of Effectivity in order to trigger increase in the irrevocable LOC from US$ 9 million to US$11 million • After obtaining creditors’ consent, demand payment of the US$222.8 million upfront payment • Upon payment, of the US$222.8 million, plant possession transferred to winning bidder • Upon payment of the last installment, legal title to plant transferred to winning bidder.
