On December 18, 2024, Alliant Energy Corporation (“Alliant Energy”), Interstate Power and Light Company (“IPL”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Alliant Energy, and Wisconsin Power and Light Company (“WPL”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Alliant Energy, entered into a second amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to the amended and restated five-year master credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), dated December 17, 2021, among Alliant Energy, IPL, WPL, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent, and the several lenders party thereto. The Second Amendment amended the Credit Agreement to, among other changes:

  • increase the aggregate amount of lender commitments under the revolving credit facility from $1 billion to $1.3 billion;

  • increase the sublimit for borrowings within the credit facility for Alliant Energy from $450 million to $600 million, for IPL from $250 million to $300 million, and for WPL from $300 million to $400 million; and

  • increase the aggregate amount of the uncommitted accordion under which each borrower may request further increases in lender commitments from $300 million to $700 million.

The obligations of Alliant Energy, IPL and WPL under the Second Amendment are several and not joint. No borrower is liable for the conduct of any other borrower, and no borrower is a primary obligor, guarantor or surety for the obligation of any other borrower under the Second Amendment.
