February 06 2023 - 5:48PM
Business Wire
On January 31, 2023, USD Partners LP (the “Partnership”) and USD
Terminals Canada ULC, an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Partnership (together with the Partnership, the “Borrowers”), and
the subsidiary guarantors party thereto, entered into an amendment
(the “Amendment”) to the Borrowers’ existing revolving credit
agreement, dated as of November 2, 2018 (the “Credit
Agreement”).
Among other things, the Amendment provides the Partnership with
relief from compliance with the Credit Agreement’s maximum
consolidated leverage ratio and minimum consolidated interest
coverage ratio through the Credit Agreement’s current maturity
date, as management works to obtain renewals, extensions or
replacements of agreements that expired during 2022 and those that
are set to expire this year. Management continues to see positive
momentum around the Partnership’s re-contracting negotiations.
Additional details regarding the Amendment are included in the
Partnership’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on February 6,
2023.
“As always, we appreciate the support of our strong and diverse
bank group in closing this amendment to our credit facility,” said
Adam Altsuler, the Partnership’s Chief Financial Officer. “This
amendment will allow us to further manage our liquidity and balance
sheet as we progress through this re-contracting phase in
2023.”
