Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On April 6, 2021, Phillips 66 Partners LP (the “Partnership”), as borrower, and Phillips 66 Partners Holdings LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Partnership, as guarantor (the “Guarantor”), various financial institutions as lenders, and The Bank of Nova Scotia, Houston Branch, as administrative agent, The Bank of Nova Scotia, BofA Securities, Inc. and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation as joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners, entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provides for a $450 million senior unsecured term loan that matures on April 5, 2022. The Partnership intends to use proceeds from the Credit Agreement for general partnership purposes, including repayments of borrowings under its $750 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”).
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (i) with respect to Eurodollar Loans, the Eurodollar Rate, as defined in the Credit Agreement, plus 0.875% and (ii) with respect to Reference Rate Loans, the ABR, as defined in the Credit Agreement, plus 0.875%.
The Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties of each of the Partnership and the Guarantor. The Credit Agreement requires the Partnership to maintain a maximum consolidated leverage ratio and contains certain restrictive covenants regarding, among other things, limitations on liens, and mergers and sales of all or substantially all assets, all substantially identical to the Revolver. The term loans are not subject to any mandatory prepayment requirements, and may be prepaid at the option of the Partnership at any time (subject to customary notice and minimum amount requirements) without premium or penalty.
The Credit Agreement contains customary events of default, including nonpayment of principal when due, nonpayment of interest or other amounts after a customary grace period, violation of covenants (subject, in the case of certain of such covenants, to a 30-day grace period), incorrectness of representations and warranties in any material respect when made, cross payment default and cross acceleration to terms of material indebtedness, bankruptcy or other insolvency events of the Partnership or its material subsidiaries or the Guarantor (with a customary grace period for involuntary events), material monetary judgments, ERISA events, actual or asserted invalidity of loan documents and changes of control.
The Partnership expects that certain of the lenders under the Credit Agreement will have in the past performed, and may in the future from time to time perform, investment banking, financial advisory, lending and/or commercial banking services or other services for the Partnership or its affiliates, and affiliates of these lenders have served in the past as underwriters in public offerings of securities by the Partnership, for which they have received, and may in the future receive, customary compensation and expense reimbursement.
A copy of the Credit Agreement is included in this Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference. The summary description of the Credit Agreement in this report does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to Exhibit 10.1.
