| Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement
On March 29, 2024, Enterprise Products Operating LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“EPO”) and the operating subsidiary of Enterprise Products Partners L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership”), entered into a 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement among EPO, as Borrower, the Lenders party thereto, Citibank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, and certain financial institutions named therein, as Co-Syndication Agents and Co-Documentation Agents (the “364-Day Credit Agreement”). Under the terms of the 364-Day Credit Agreement, EPO may borrow up to $1.5 billion (which may be increased by up to $200 million to $1.7 billion at EPO’s election, provided certain conditions are met) at a variable interest rate for a term of 364 days, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein.
The 364-Day Credit Agreement replaces EPO’s existing 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as of March 31, 2023, among EPO, the Lenders party thereto, Citibank N.A., as Administrative Agent, and certain financial institutions named therein, as Co-Syndication Agents and Co-Documentation Agents (which provided for a borrowing capacity up to $1.5 billion and had a maturity date of March 29, 2024). EPO may use the proceeds from loans under the 364-Day Credit Agreement for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other company purposes.
EPO’s obligations under the 364-Day Credit Agreement are not secured by any collateral; however, they are guaranteed by the Partnership pursuant to a Guaranty Agreement (the “364-Day Guaranty Agreement”). Amounts borrowed under the 364-Day Credit Agreement mature on March 28, 2025, although EPO may, between 15 and 60 days prior to the maturity date, elect to have the entire principal balance then outstanding continued as non-revolving term loans for a period of one additional year, payable on March 28, 2026.
In addition to interest payments on outstanding borrowings, on a quarterly basis, EPO is required to pay a facility fee on each lender’s commitment irrespective of commitment usage. The facility fee amount and the applicable rate spread for loans under the 364-Day Credit Agreement will vary based on EPO’s senior debt credit rating.
The 364-Day Credit Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants (affirmative and negative) and events of default, the occurrence of which would permit the lenders to accelerate the maturity date of amounts borrowed under the 364-Day Credit Agreement. The 364-Day Credit Agreement also restricts EPO’s ability to pay cash distributions to the Partnership if an event of default (as defined in the 364-Day Credit Agreement) has occurred and is continuing at the time such distribution is scheduled to be paid or would result therefrom.
The descriptions of the 364-Day Credit Agreement and the 364-Day Guaranty Agreement in this Item 1.01 are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the 364-Day Credit Agreement and the 364-Day Guaranty Agreement, which are filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 hereto, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference.
| Item 2.03 | Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant. |
On March 29, 2024, EPO entered into the 364-Day Credit Agreement. The information relating to the 364-Day Credit Agreement and related 364-Day Guaranty Agreement, as set forth under Item 1.01, is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03. The 364-Day Credit Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and the related 364-Day Guaranty Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.2, and each is incorporated herein by reference.
