Item 8.01. Other Events.
On February 16, 2023, NGL Energy Partners LP (the “Partnership” or “NGL”) entered into the Third Amendment (the “Amendment”) to that certain credit agreement dated February 4, 2021 (“Credit Agreement”), by and among NGL Energy Operating LLC, the Partnership, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, collateral agent and an issuing lender, and certain other financial institutions party thereto as lenders and issuing lenders. The Credit Agreement includes an asset-based revolving credit facility (the “ABL Facility”). On April 13, 2022, the Partnership amended the ABL Facility to increase the commitments to $600.0 million under the accordion feature within the ABL Facility and agreed to reduce the commitments back to the original $500.0 million on or before March 31, 2023. This Amendment extends the maturity date of the additional $100 million of commitments currently available under the ABL Facility to the earliest of (a) February 4, 2026 and (b) 91 days prior to the earliest maturity date in respect of any indebtedness of the Partnership, NGL Energy Operating LLC or any of its restricted subsidiaries in an aggregate principal amount of $50.0 million or greater if such indebtedness is outstanding at such time, subject to certain exceptions. Other than the foregoing, the terms of the Credit Agreement remain unchanged.
The foregoing description does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.
