March 2024 $1.5 Billion 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement
In March 2024, EPO entered into a new 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement (the “March 2024 $1.5 Billion 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement”) that replaced its prior 364-day revolving credit agreement. There were no principal amounts outstanding under the prior 364-day revolving credit agreement when it was replaced by the March 2024 $1.5 Billion 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement. As of March 31, 2024, there were no principal amounts outstanding under the March 2024 $1.5 Billion 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement.
Under the terms of the March 2024 $1.5 Billion 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement, EPO may borrow up to $1.5 billion (which may be increased by up to $200 million to $1.7 billion at EPO’s election, provided certain conditions are met) at a variable interest rate for a term of up to 364 days, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein. The March 2024 $1.5 Billion 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement matures in March 2025. To the extent that principal amounts are outstanding at the maturity date, EPO may elect to have the entire principal balance then outstanding continued as non-revolving term loans for a period of one additional year, payable in March 2026. Borrowings under the March 2024 $1.5 Billion 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement may be used for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and general company purposes.
The March 2024 $1.5 Billion 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants (affirmative and negative) and events of default, the occurrence of which would permit the lenders to accelerate the maturity date of any amounts borrowed under this credit agreement. The March 2024 $1.5 Billion 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement also restricts EPO’s ability to pay cash distributions to the Partnership, if an event of default (as defined in the credit agreement) has occurred and is continuing at the time such distribution is scheduled to be paid or would result therefrom.
EPO’s obligations under the March 2024 $1.5 Billion 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement are not secured by any collateral; however, they are guaranteed by the Partnership.
Issuance of $2.0 Billion of Senior Notes in January 2024
In January 2024, EPO issued $2.0 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes comprised of (i) $1.0 billion principal amount of senior notes due January 2027 (“Senior Notes HHH”) and (ii) $1.0 billion principal amount of senior notes due January 2034 (“Senior Notes III”). Net proceeds from this offering were used by EPO for general company purposes, including for growth capital investments, and the repayment of debt (including the repayment of all of our $850 million principal amount of 3.90% Senior Notes JJ at their maturity in February 2024 and amounts outstanding under our commercial paper program).
Senior Notes HHH were issued at 99.897% of their principal amount and have a fixed interest rate of 4.60% per year. Senior Notes III were issued at 99.705% of their principal amount and have a fixed interest rate of 4.85% per year. The Partnership guaranteed these senior notes through an unconditional guarantee on an unsecured and unsubordinated basis.
Letters of Credit
At March 31, 2024, EPO had $131 million of letters of credit outstanding primarily related to our commodity hedging activities.
Lender Financial Covenants
We were in compliance with the financial covenants of our consolidated debt agreements at March 31, 2024.
Parent-Subsidiary Guarantor Relationships
The Partnership acts as guarantor of the consolidated debt obligations of EPO, with the exception of the remaining debt obligations of TEPPCO. If EPO were to default on any of its guaranteed debt, the Partnership would be responsible for full and unconditional repayment of such obligations.
