On December 21, 2016, Sunoco LP (the Partnership) entered into
(i) an amendment (the Credit Agreement Amendment) to that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of September 25, 2014 (as amended to date, the Credit Agreement) with the lenders party thereto and Bank of America, N.A.,
in its capacity as a letter of credit issuer, as swing line lender, and as administrative agent, and (ii) an amendment (the Term Loan Amendment) to that certain Senior Secured Term Loan Agreement, dated as of March 31, 2016 (as
amended to date, the Term Loan Agreement) with the lenders party thereto and Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch, in its capacity as administrative agent. The Credit Agreement Amendment amended the Credit Agreement and the Term Loan
Amendment amended the Term Loan Agreement to, among other matters:
|
|
|
Increase the applicable margin applicable to obligations thereunder by including two additional tranches of pricing based on the Partnerships leverage ratio. As a result the maximum applicable margin for LIBOR
rate loans has increased from 2.500% to 3.00% and the maximum applicable margin for base rate loans has increased from 1.500% to 2.00%.
|
|
|
|
Increase in the maximum level of the ratio of funded debt to EBITDA of the Partnership permitted under each of the Credit Agreement and the Term Loan Agreement to (i) as of the last day of each fiscal quarter
through December 31, 2017, 6.75 to 1.0, (ii) as of March 31, 2018, 6.5 to 1.0, (iii) as of June 30, 2018, 6.25 to 1.0, (iv) as of September 30, 2018, 6.0 to 1.0, (v) as of December 31, 2018, 5.75 to 1.0
and (vi) thereafter, 5.5 to 1.0 (in the case of the quarter ending March 31, 2019 and thereafter, subject to increases to 6.0 to 1.0 in connection with certain future specified acquisitions).
|
|
|
|
Add new obligations to maintain, (i) for so long as the obligations under the Term Loan Agreement remain outstanding, a maximum ratio of secured funded debt to EBITDA of the Partnership of (x) as of the last
day of each fiscal quarter through December 31, 2017, 3.75 to 1.0 and (y) thereafter, 3.5 to 1.0 and (ii) until the maximum leverage permitted is reduced to 5.5 to 1.0, a minimum ratio of EBITDA to interest expense of the Partnership
of 2.25 to 1.0.
