Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On March 30, 2015, SolarCity Corporation (the "Company) initiated the offer and sale of its 2.00% Solar Bonds, Series 2015/8-1 (the "Solar Bonds") pursuant to the Company's previously announced Solar Bond Program.  The Solar Bonds will mature on March 30, 2016 and bear interest at a rate of 2.00%.  The Company will initially offer an aggregate principal amount of up $93,000,000 of the Solar Bonds.  However, the Company may increase the maximum principal amount of the Solar Bonds offered by the Company from time to time, in its sole discretion.
The Solar Bonds will be issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of October 15, 2014 (the "Base Indenture"), by and between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the "Trustee"), as supplemented by a supplemental indenture, dated as of March 30, 2015, by and between the Company and the Trustee, related to such Solar Bonds (a "Supplemental Indenture").
We anticipate that Space Exploration Technologies Corporation ("SpaceX") will purchase $90,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Solar Bonds on the same terms and conditions as offered to other purchasers.  Elon Musk, the Chairman of our Board of Directors, is the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Designer, Chairman and a significant stockholder of SpaceX. Some members of our Board of Directors also serve as members of the Board of Directors of SpaceX, and some members of our Board of Directors and executive management are also investors in SpaceX. The anticipated investment by SpaceX was approved in advance pursuant to our policies and procedures for related party transactions.
The Solar Bonds will be senior unsecured obligations of the Company.  In addition, the occurrence of certain events will result in an "Event of Default" with respect to the Solar Bonds, which may result in the acceleration of the maturity of the Solar Bonds.  For a description of (i) the ranking of the Solar Bonds as compared to other indebtedness of the Company, (ii) the types of events that would give rise to an Event of Default, and (iii) the rights of the Trustee or holders upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, see "Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement ‒ Solar Bonds Program" in our Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on October 15, 2014.  The description of these terms in such previously filed Form 8-K is specifically incorporated by reference herein.
The summary of the foregoing transactions is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Base Indenture, the Supplemental Indenture and the related Form of Solar Bonds, which are included as Exhibits 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 hereto and are incorporated herein by reference.
