On November 12, 2021, NextEra Energy Partners, LP (NEP) and one of its indirect subsidiaries entered into an Early Call Option Exercise and Waiver Agreement with, among others, Western Renewables Partners LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of a fund managed by Global Energy & Power Infrastructure II Advisors, LLC (BlackRock), to provide that the option (the NEP buyout right) to purchase from Western Renewables Partners LLC 100% of the non-controlling Class B interest (the Class B interest) in NEP Renewables, LLC (NEP Renewables), an indirect subsidiary of NEP, may be exercised early on November 19, 2021. Additionally, on November 12, 2021, an indirect subsidiary of NEP delivered the early call option notice to BlackRock exercising the NEP buyout right. The original issuance of the Class B interest in NEP Renewables to BlackRock was previously disclosed in NEP's Current Report on Form 8-K dated December 20, 2018.
On November 18, 2021, BlackRock exercised its election to be paid in cash for 30% of the early call option purchase price upon closing of the NEP buyout right, which is expected to occur on November 19, 2021, at which time NEP will pay aggregate consideration of approximately $885 million to BlackRock, consisting of 7,253,580 NEP common units and approximately $265 million in cash. The NEP common units will be issued in reliance upon an exemption from the registration requirements provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and are being registered for resale pursuant to a registration statement to be filed with the SEC.
On November 18, 2021, NextEra Energy US Partners Holdings, LLC, a subsidiary of NEP, drew approximately $305 million under an existing revolving credit facility, of which approximately $265 million is expected to be used to fund the 30% cash portion of the early call option purchase price at the closing of the NEP buyout right described above. At November 18, 2021, approximately $658 million is outstanding under the revolving credit facility, after giving effect to the drawdown described herein.
The description of the amendment to the buyout right is qualified by reference to the Early Call Option and Waiver Agreement, dated as of November 12, 2021, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
