Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On October 28, 2019 (the “Closing Date”), Sunrun Inc.’s (“Sunrun”) indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary, Sunrun Atlas Issuer 2019-2, LLC (“Sunrun Atlas”), completed an issuance of solar asset backed notes (the “Transaction”).

Sunrun Atlas issued Solar Asset Backed Notes, Series 2019-2 Class A (the “Notes”) in an aggregate principal amount of $312,400,000. The Notes bear interest at a rate of 3.61% and have an anticipated repayment date of November 1, 2027.

The Notes may only be acquired by persons who are either (i) qualified institutional buyers as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or (ii) not U.S. Persons (as defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act (“Regulation S”)) in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S. The Notes have been rated A (sf) by Kroll Bond Rating Agency, Inc.

The Collateral

The Notes were issued by Sunrun Atlas pursuant to an Indenture (the “Indenture”), dated as of the Closing Date, between Sunrun Atlas and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Indenture Trustee”), as indenture trustee.

The Notes are secured by, and payable solely from the cash flow generated by, the managing member membership interests that are wholly-owned by Sunrun Atlas. Each managing member owns an interest in a project company. Each project company owns a pool of photovoltaic systems, related leases, and power purchase agreements. Each project company is jointly owned with a third party investor.

Sunrun (in such capacity, the “Transaction Manager”) will act as transaction manager pursuant to the terms of a Transaction Management Agreement between Sunrun and Sunrun Atlas. The Transaction Manager will be required to provide certain administrative, collection, and other management services for Sunrun Atlas.

Events of Default and Amortization Events

The Indenture contains events of default that are customary in nature for solar securitizations of this type, including (a) the non-payment of interest, (b) material violations of covenants, (c) material breaches of representations and warranties and (d) certain bankruptcy events. An event of default will also occur with respect to the Notes if they are not paid in full at their rated final maturity. The Notes are also subject to amortization events that are customary in nature for solar securitizations of this type, including (i) the occurrence of an event of default, (ii) a debt service coverage ratio falling below certain levels, (iii) failure to maintain insurance and (iv) failure to repay the Notes in full by their anticipated repayment date. The occurrence of an amortization event or an event of default could result in accelerated amortization of the Notes, and the occurrence of an event of default could, in certain instances, result in the liquidation of the collateral securing the Notes.

The description of the Indenture is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Indenture, a copy of which Sunrun plans to file as an exhibit to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2019.

Use of Proceeds

Sunrun intends to use the proceeds from the sale of the Notes for repayment of borrowings under existing credit facilities, for the payment of fees and expenses related to the Transaction, and to fund reserves required pursuant to the Transaction.

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

The information related to the Transaction described under Item 1.01 above is hereby incorporated by reference under this Item 2.03.
