The Trust invested the proceeds from the sale of the P-Caps in a portfolio of principal and/or interest strips of U.S. Treasury securities and entered into a facility agreement with NRG, pursuant to which NRG agreed to issue 7.467% senior secured notes due 2028 to the Trust under certain circumstances. The P-Caps are a highly structured capital markets product that provides NRG with approximately $500.0 million of letter of credit capacity.
