Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. | |
On January 4, 2013, Tesoro Logistics LP (the “Partnership”) entered into an amended and restated senior secured revolving credit agreement (the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, and a syndicate of banks and financial institutions as lenders. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement increases total revolving loan availability from $300 million to $500 million and permits the Partnership to request that the availability be increased up to an aggregate of $650 million, subject to receiving increased commitments from the lenders. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement is guaranteed by all of the Partnership's subsidiaries and secured by substantially all of the assets of the Partnership and its subsidiaries. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement is scheduled to mature on December 31, 2017.
Borrowings under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement will bear interest at either a base rate (3.25% at January 4, 2013), plus the applicable margin, or a Eurodollar rate (0.21% at January 4, 2013 (1M LIBOR)), plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin at January 4, 2013, was 1.25% in the case of the base rate and 2.25% in the case of the Eurodollar rate but will generally vary based upon the Partnership's Consolidated Leverage Ratio, as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.
The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement retains customary affirmative and negative covenants that, among other things, limit or restrict the Partnership's ability (as well as the ability of the Partnership's subsidiaries) to:
• | incur additional debt, subject to customary carve outs for certain permitted additional debt, or incur certain liens on assets, subject to customary carve outs for certain permitted liens; |
• | make certain cash distributions, provided that we may make quarterly distributions of available cash so long as no default under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement then exists or would result therefrom, and provided that no more than $20 million may be drawn on the revolving credit facility to fund such quarterly distributions; |
• | dispose of assets in excess of an annual threshold amount; |
• | make certain amendments, modifications or supplements to organization documents and material contracts; |
• | engage in certain business activities; |
• | engage in certain mergers or consolidations and transfers of assets; and |
• | enter into non-arm's-length transactions with affiliates. |
The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement retains financial covenants. Under these covenants, the Partnership cannot:
• | permit the ratio of our consolidated EBITDA to our consolidated interest charges as of the end of any fiscal quarter, for the immediately preceding four quarter period, to be less than 2.50 to 1.00; |
• | permit the ratio of our consolidated funded debt to our consolidated EBITDA as of the end of any fiscal quarter, for the immediately preceding four quarter period, to be greater than 5.50 to 1.00 during a temporary period from the date of consummation of certain acquisitions (as described in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) until the last day of the third consecutive quarter following such acquisitions, and greater than 5.00 to 1.00 at all other times; or |
• | permit the ratio of our senior consolidated funded debt to our consolidated EBITDA as of the end of any fiscal quarter, for the immediately preceding four quarter period, to be greater than 4.00 to 1.00 during a temporary period from the date of consummation of certain acquisitions (as described in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) until the last day of the third consecutive quarter following such acquisitions, and greater than 3.50 to 1.00 at all other times. |
The foregoing description is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
