Star Group, L.P. (the "Company" or "Star") (NYSE:SGU), a home
energy distributor and services provider, today announced that it
has entered into a seventh amended and restated asset-based credit
facility (the "Credit Facility"), which expires in September 2029
and provides the borrower under the Credit Facility (a subsidiary
of the Company) with an ability to borrow up to $400 million ($475
million during the heating season from December through April each
year) on a revolving line of credit for working capital purposes,
including the issuance of up to $25 million in letters of credit.
The Credit Facility also provides for a $210 million five year
senior secured term loan; proceeds from the term loan will be used
to repay existing outstanding debt of $132.1 million with the
balance of $77.9 million available for certain identified
acquisitions and general corporate purposes.
About Star Group, L.P.Star
Group, L.P. is a full service provider specializing in the sale of
home heating products and services to residential and commercial
customers to heat their homes and buildings. The Company also sells
and services heating and air conditioning equipment to its home
heating oil and propane customers and, to a lesser extent, provides
these offerings to customers outside of its home heating oil and
propane customer base. Star also sells diesel, gasoline and home
heating oil on a delivery only basis. We believe Star is the
nation's largest retail distributor of home heating oil based upon
sales volume. Including its propane locations, Star serves

Northeast and Mid-Atlantic U.S. regions. Additional information is
