Item 5. Other Events and Regulation FD Disclosure
On August 7, 2003 we completed the renegotiation of our $400 million Competitive Advance and Revolving Credit Facility (“Revolver”) that was due to expire in August 2003. There were no material changes in the terms of the Revolver.
The new Revolver permits $375 million in aggregate borrowings expiring in August 2004. Borrowings under the Revolver are available on a committed revolving credit basis at our choice of three short-term rates or through an auction procedure at the time of each borrowing. The Revolver is primarily used as credit support for our commercial paper program in lieu of direct borrowings under the Revolver.
