American States Water Company and Golden State Water Company Announce New Credit Agreements

American States Water Company (NYSE:AWR) and its regulated water utility subsidiary, Golden State Water Company (“GSWC”), announced that on June 28, 2023 they had each entered into new credit agreements with a term of five years provided by a syndicate of banks and financial institutions. These syndicated credit facilities replace AWR’s previous credit agreement with a sole bank dated June 3, 2005, as amended and restated.

AWR’s credit agreement provides for a $150 million unsecured revolving credit facility to support AWR parent and its contracted services subsidiary, American States Utility Services, Inc. (“ASUS”). GSWC’s separate credit agreement provides for a $200 million unsecured revolving credit facility to support its operations and capital expenditures. Both credit facilities may be expanded up to an additional amount of $75 million, subject to the lenders’ approval. The credit agreements contain covenants and events of default customary for credit facilities of these type.

“We are pleased to have been able to successfully put in place these two syndicated credit facilities,” said Robert J. Sprowls, President and CEO of American States Water Company and GSWC. “The credit facilities will provide the company with flexibility in meeting its day-to-day working capital demands and as additional support for our infrastructure investment programs at both GSWC and ASUS.”
