Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On
July 14, 2026, HA Sustainable Infrastructure Capital, Inc. (the “Company”) as borrower, entered into a new $2.250 billion, 5-year unsecured
revolving credit facility pursuant to a CarbonCount®-based
revolving credit agreement (the “New Credit Agreement”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMorgan”) as administrative
agent, sole bookrunner, sustainability structuring agent and lead arranger, Citibank, N.A., Coöperatieve Rabobank U.A., Credit Agricole
Corporate and Investment Bank, ING Capital LLC, Mizuho Bank, Ltd., Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., Royal Bank of Canada, Sumitomo
Mitsui Banking Corporation and Truist Bank as documentation agents, the loan parties from time to time party thereto and the lenders
party thereto. The obligations of the Company under the New Credit Agreement are guaranteed by certain subsidiaries of the Company. The
New Credit Agreement replaces the Company’s prior $1.825 billion unsecured credit facility entered into in April 2024 (the
“Prior Credit Agreement”). Each of the existing 18 relationship bank lenders committed under the New Credit Agreement participated
in the Prior Credit Agreement.

plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.25% to 2.125% based on the Company’s current credit rating, which may be adjusted upward
or downward up to 0.10% to the extent the Company achieves certain CarbonCount® levels. The New Credit Agreement
has a commitment fee on undrawn amounts ranging from 0.20% to 0.45% based on the Company’s current credit rating, which may be
adjusted upward or downward up to 0.01% to the extent the Company achieves certain CarbonCount® levels.

repurchases, and dividends the Company declares. The New Credit Agreement also includes customary events of default and remedies.

the material terms of the New Credit Agreement in this Item 1.01 are qualified in their entirety by reference to such Exhibit, which

to a CarbonCount®-based term loan agreement (the “New
Term Loan Agreement”) with JPMorgan as administrative agent, sole bookrunner and sustainability structuring agent, Coöperatieve
Rabobank U.A., New York Branch and JP Morgan as joint lead arrangers, Coöperatieve Rabobank U.A., New York Branch as documentation

Loan Agreement are guaranteed by certain subsidiaries of the Company. The New Term Loan Agreement replaces the Company’s existing
$250 million unsecured term loan facility entered into in April 2024 (the “Prior Term Loan Agreement”) and the Company’s
existing $250 million delayed draw term loan facility entered into in November 2025 (the “Delayed Draw Term Loan Agreement”),
which were terminated on July 14, 2026.
Principal
amounts under the New Term Loan Agreement will bear interest at a rate of Term SOFR plus applicable margins based on the Company’s
current credit rating, which may be adjusted up to 0.10% to the extent the Company achieves certain CarbonCount® levels.
As of the date of the New Term Loan Agreement, the applicable margin is 1.45%, which represents a 33 basis point reduction compared
to the weighted average spreads of the Company’s Prior Term Loan Agreement and Delayed Draw Term Loan Agreement, based on spreads
at close of 1.925% and 1.65%, respectively.
The New
Term Loan Agreement contains terms, conditions, covenants, and representations and warranties that are customary and typical for a transaction
of this nature, including various affirmative and negative covenants, and limitations on the incurrence of liens and indebtedness, investments,
fundamental organizational changes, dispositions, changes in the nature of business, transactions with affiliates, use of proceeds, stock
repurchases, and dividends the Company declares. The New Term Loan Agreement also includes customary events of default and remedies.
