On June 6, 2014, our operating partnership, Ferrellgas, L.P., executed a third amendment to its secured credit facility to better facilitate its strategic focus on further business diversification. Immediately following the amendment, the operating partnership increased the size of this facility from $500 million to $600 million providing increased liquidity for future acquisitions. There was no change to the size of the letter of credit sublimit which remains at $200.0 million. This amendment did not change the interest rate or the maturity date of the secured credit facility which remains at October 2018. Borrowings under this amended facility are available for working capital needs, capital expenditures and other general partnership purposes, including the refinancing of existing indebtedness.
The amended secured credit facility contains various affirmative and negative covenants and default provisions, as well as requirements with respect to the maintenance of specified financial ratios and limitations on the making of loans and investments.
