New ERA Energy & Digital secures $116.0 million letter of credit with Macquarie Bank
Subsidiaries TCDC PowerCo and Texas Critical Data Centers entered into a Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement with Macquarie Bank on October 7, 2026, to back a $116.0 million standby letter of credit for a power purchase agreement with Luminant. The arrangement carries 12% annual interest on reimbursements and required cash collateral, and the company issued warrants to the lender, which would add potential dilution for shareholders.
Key points
- $116.0 million standby letter of credit issued in favor of Luminant ET Services to secure PowerCo's obligations under the power purchase agreement
- PowerCo must reimburse the Bank at 12% per annum; TCDC has unconditionally guaranteed these obligations
- Cash collateral must be kept at not less than 102% of the undrawn face amount (approximately $118.3 million at issuance), with $60.0 million funded from Term Loan A-2 and A-3 proceeds and about $58.3 million from cash on hand
- Warrants issued to the lender for 413,055 shares of common stock at an exercise price of approximately $7.26; the company also began pursuing direct leases with hyperscale tenants for the TCDC Project
