Skaddens represented Edison Mission Energy (Edison) and its major domestic subsidiary, Midwest Generation, LLC, in an approximately US$2 ($2.8) billion financing consisting of: a US$900 million first priority secured credit facility; a private offering of US$1 billion 8.75 per cent second priority senior secured notes due 2034; and a US$98 million secured working capital facility. The firm said the financing, which closed on April 27, was implemented using a dual-lien structure, in which the banks in the US$900 million credit facility took a first priority security interest and the bondholders took a second priority security interest in a fleet of power plants and related assets located in Illinois.
