requested Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) consent to the transfer of the licenses for Beaver Valley Power Station, Unit Nos. 1 and 2', Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station, Unit No. 1; and Perry Nuclear Power Plant, Unit No. 1; and their respective generally licensed independent spent fuel storage installation facilities to a newly created ultimate parent company that will be a separate legal entity from FirstEnergy Corp. (Application).
ln order to complete the review of the Application, the NRC requested additional information The requested information is provided below in bold typeface, followed by the Applicants' responses.
Request for Additional lnformation
- l. Based on the NRC stafr review, it appearc that the application involves both indirect and direct tranefers of the eubject licenses yettus only an indirect transfer, as the application appcarc to refer to new corporate entities as fte NRC licenseeo.
Specifically, according to the application, the names, state(s) of incorporation, and final manageraldircctorc and principal officerc ior OpCo and OrnerCo are not yet known. To the extent that the traneaction is not a aimple name change in that OpCo and OwnerGo arc new corporate entities, the NRC would consider the transaction to involve a direct transfer of control of the subject licenses. Based on the above, provido additiona! information on why the application should be treated only as an indirect license transfier. Othenrise, supplement the application to reflect that the request involves both dircct and indircct transfErc of the subiect licenses.
Response
FENOC acknowledges that the transfer of the licenses includes elements of both a direct and indirect transfer. The creation of New HoldCo as the ultimate owner of the licensees involves an indirect transfer of control. The two cunent licensee entities, FENOC (OpCo) and FENGen (OwnerCo), will be reorganized pursuant to a Joint Plan of Reorganization (Plan) in the Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceeding before the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Ohio. Though the corporate existence and operations of the current licensees will continue essentially unchanged, the state under which the reorganized companies are organized will be changed from Ohio to Delaware. Therefore, elements of the reorganization of FENOC and FENGen involve a direct transfer of control.
L-19-182 Page 2 of 5
- 2. The application does not provide the final legal entity name for the new holding company (New HoldCo) or its subsidiaries, referred to as OpCo (reorganized FENOC) and Clwnerco (reorganized FENGen). According to the application, the proposed licenae transfens involve administrative changes to the Facility'e Licenses to reflect Owne6o as owner, and OpCo as operator, as the post-reorganization entities responsible for the Facility. Accordingly, FENOC rcquests conforming license amendments. The Applicants state that the names in the application (aforementioned) are placeholderc and that the Applicants will inform the NRC of the final legal entity names and submit updated proposed operating license rcvision pages. Purcuant to 10 CFR 50.33(a) submit the fina! legal entity names of New Holdco, Ownerco and OpGo.
Response
The final legal entity names for New HoldCo, OpCo, or OwnerCo have not yet been identified.
As described in the Application, FENOC made a commitment to provide the entity names and relevant incorporation details to the NRC when they were identified. This action was scheduled for completion by August 1,2019. However, the names will not be known by that date.
FENOC will provide the NRC the final legal names of New HoldCo, OwnerCo, and OpCo prior to consummation of license transfer.
- 3. The application does not provide compleb information regarding all directorc, principal ofricels, or board membens of New Holdco or its subeidiaries, including the proposed licensees OvynerCo and OpGo after emergence from bankruptcy.
However, in the application, the applicant identifies regulatory commitments that state "When the fina! New HoldCo directorc and principal officerc are identified prior to the transfer, the Applicants wil! inform the NRC of their names, in writing, through a supplement to the application." Additionally, according to the application, the state(s) of incorporation of OrnelCo and OpCo are not yet known. Putsuant to 10 CFR 50.33(dX3XD and (ii) and 10 CFR 50.38, submit the stab(s) of incorporation, as appropriate, and the names, addresses, and citizenship of the dircctors and principa! officep of New HoldCo, OwnerGo, and OpGo after emergence from bankruptcy.
Response
The names and citizenships of the directors and principal officers, post-emergence, of New HoldCo, OpCo, and Ownerco are provided in Attachment 2.
L-1 9-1 82 Page 3 of 5 Since personally identifiable information is required to satis! the RAI response, Attachment 2 contains the unredacted version of the requested information. The redacted information is identified by the brackets [ ]. Attachment 3 contains a redacted version of the requested information. FENOC requests that Attachment 2 be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to 10 CFR 2.390 and 10 CFR 9.17.
The business addresses, states of incorporation, and form of corporate entity for New HoldCo, OpCo, and OwnerCo are also provided in Attachment 2.
- 4. The application does not provide complete information regarding the creditorc and shareholdee of the New Holdco.
The application states, "[b]ased on the currently understood holding of FES and Applicant debt, and other claims, the identities and approximate percentages of the New HoldGo voting shares expected to be held by the largest shareholders (those holding more that 5 percent of equity) after consummation of the transaction will be as follows: [Nuveen Asset Management, LLC (30 percent] and Avenue Capital Management ll L.P. (15 percentl]." Pursuantto 10 CFR 50.33(fl(4xi), submitthe legal and financial relationships New HoldCo has or proposes to have with its shareholders and owners. Additionally, pursuant to 10 CFR 50.33(0(4Xi), submit any additional legal and financial relationships Ownerco or OpCo have or propose to have with sharehoiders and owners that are not included in tlie New HoldGo request above.
Response
As described in the Application, following the reStructuring transactions contemplated by the Reorganization Plan, OwnerCo and OpCo will be wholly-owned subsidiaries of a newly formed privately-held company referred to as New HoldCo. New HoldCo will be legally separated from FirstEnergy Corp.
The initial stockholders of New HoldCo will be certain creditors of FirstEnergy Solutions Corp.
(FES), its subsidiaries, and affiliates who have converted their claims to equity in New HoldCo pursuant to the Reorganization Plan, as well as management of New HoldCo. Equity will be in the form of common stock. ln accordance with the plan, the management shares are expected to comprise up to a total of 7.5 percent of New HoldCo's @mmon stock. The management shares of New HoldCo will be distributed across the management team, with no single member of management expected to hold more than 5 percent of New HoldCo common stock. The shares of New HoldCo owned by current creditors will be distributed according to the Sixth Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization of FirstEnergy Solutions Corp.,
et al. pusuant to Chapter 11 of the Bankruptry Code. Based on currently available information, Nuveen Asset Management, LLC and Avenue Capital Management ll, L.P. are expected to be the only entities at emergence with more than 5 percent of New HoldCo's common stock. Those entities are described in the Application for purposes of demonstrating L-1 9-1 82 Page 4 of 5 that there will be no foreign ownership, control or domination of the licensees, as defined by the NRC. The remaining shares of New HoldCo are expected to be initially distributed among a number of parties each holding less than 5 percent. The governance documents for New HoldCo, principally including the Bylaws, Certificate of lncorporation, and the Stockholders Agreement (included in the Plan of Reorganization supplement), do not contain any provisions requiring shareholders, including those with less than 5 percent interest, to vote together in the corporate governance of New HoldCo. Nor will such shareholders, under these governan@ documents, have any special shareholder rights (that is, veto authorities) that confer effective minority control of New HoldCo operations. ln the unexpected event the Applicants become aware of other creditors that would be expected to own more than 5 percent, the Applicants will supplement the Application with information to facilitate the NRC's review of those entities.
New HoldCo's legal and financial relationships with its shareholders are defined by corporate governance documents, in particular the Stockholders Agreement (Attachment 4) and the Amended and Restated Certificate of lncorporation of New HoldCo the Certificate of lncorporation of OpCo, and the Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement of OwnerCo (Attachment 5). These corporate governanoe documents were submitted to the Bankruptcy Court as part of the Plan Supplement filed on July 23, 2019. They define the obligations and rights of the stockholders with respect to New HoldCo and each other.
The Stockholders Agreement contains customary stockholder rights provisions consistent with the description at pages 10-1 1 of Enclosure A of the Application. The Stockholders Agreement covers the initial composition of the Board of Directors of New HoldCo, stockholder information rights, and transfer restrictions on the company's stock. With respect to the Board of Directors, Article ll of the Stockholders Agreement provides that the initial board will consist of no fewer than eight members, as follows: one member, who shall be the Chief Executive Officer; Mr. John Kiani, who shall serve as Executive Chairman of the Board; two members designated by Nuveen; one member designated by Avenue; and three additional directors designated by the creditors and noteholders. Nuveen will have the right to designate two members of the Board of Directors, and Avenue will have the right to designate one member of the Board of Directors, so long as Nuveen and Avenue each maintains at least 7.5 percent of New HoldCo's stock. The Stockholder Agreement, Article Vl, provides a list of the information stockholders will have a right to receive. This information includes an annual financial report, similar to a United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Form 10-K, 'Annual Report Pursuant to Section 1 3 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Ac't of 1934;' a quarterly financial report, similar to a SEC Form 10-Q, "Quarterly Report Pursuant to Sec.tion 1 3 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934;" and written notice of any events that would trigger an SEC Form 8-K, "Current Repoft,' as if the company was an SEC registrant. With respect to transfer restrictions, Article lV of the Stockholders Agreement incorporates by reference the Certificate of lncorporation's provisions concerning Drag-Along and Tag-Along rights. These provisions were described in the Application, Enclosure A pages 10-1 1 .
L-1 9-1 82 Page 5 of 5 Since OwnerCo and OpCo are wholly-owned subsidiaries of New HoldCo, they have no additional legal or financial relationships with stockholders or owners. However, as described in the Application, there will be an Operating Agreement and a Power Supply Agreement that define specific authorities, entitlements, and obligations of OwnerCo and OpCo, and their counterparties.
- 5. The application references, and includes as Exhibit A, the Fourth Amended Joint PIan of Reorganization, submitted to the United States Bankruptcy Gourt for the Northern District of Ohio (Bankruptcy Gourt) on April 18, 2019. The application also refers to and incorporates by reference, the Applicants'March 15,2019, lrradiated Fuel Management Plan (ADAMS Accession No. MLl9074A2441, which references the Disclosure Statement for the First Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization filed on March 9,2019. On May 30,2019, the Debtors filed a Fifth Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization with the Bankruptcy Court. The application should reference the current version of the reorganization plan submitted to the Bankruptcy Court for approval. Provide a supplement to the application which includes a reference to the current reorganization plan. The NRC expects that the applicants will continue to supplement the application with references to any other such amendments, as necessary, until the NRG has made a final decision.
Response
The Sixth Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization of FirstEnergy Solutions Corp., et al.
pursuant to Chapter 1'l of the Bankruptcy Code was submitted to the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Ohio on July 23, 2019. As of the date of this submittal, this is the current amendment of the reorganization plan. Therefore, this RAI response supplements the Application by providing the reference to the current amendment of the reorganization plan.
The Sixth Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization changed the number of New HoldCo Directors from no less than seven to no less than eight. Attachment 2 provides the names and citizenships of the eight New HoldCo Directors.
Additionally, the Sixth Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization changed a part of the organization that was described in the Application. Specifically, the RetailCo will not be created, and will be replaced in the corporate organization by a reorganized FirstEnergy Solutions Corp. (Reorganized FES). Reorganized FES will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of New HoldCo. A supplement to the Application that provides updated organization information will be submitted prior to August 30, 2019.
FENOC intends to notify the NRC of any other amendments to the reorganization plan, as necessary, until the NRC has made a final decision.
