First and Refunding Mortgage Bonds financial

"4.95% First and Refunding Mortgage Bonds, Series 2026B, Due 2031"

Underwriting Agreement financial

"Underwriting Agreement dated May 4, 2026"

An underwriting agreement is a contract where a company selling new stocks or bonds hires financial firms to buy those securities and resell them to investors. It matters because the agreement sets the offering price, number of securities, fees and which party bears the risk if sales fall short—think of it as a promise that the sale will happen and a roadmap investors can use to understand how the new securities reach the market.

Supplemental Indenture financial

"One Hundred Sixty-Third Supplemental Indenture dated May 5, 2026"

A supplemental indenture is a written amendment to the original bond agreement that changes specific terms of a debt contract, such as payment schedules, interest rates, collateral or covenant protections. Investors care because it alters the legal rights and risks tied to a security — like renegotiating a mortgage where the lender and borrower agree to new rules — and can affect a bond’s credit quality, yield and market value.
