1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Senior Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility
On August 20, 2021,
Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. (the “Partnership”) entered into an unsecured Credit Agreement (the “Revolving Credit
Agreement”), among the Partnership and Plains Midstream Canada ULC, a British Columbia unlimited liability company, as Borrowers;
certain subsidiaries of the Partnership from time to time party thereto, as Designated Borrowers; Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative
Agent and Swing Line Lender; Bank of America, N.A., Citibank, N.A., JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association,
as L/C Issuers; and the other Lenders party thereto (terms used but not defined in this description of the Revolving Credit Agreement
have the meanings assigned to them in the Revolving Credit Agreement). The Revolving Credit Agreement replaces the Partnership’s
Credit Agreement dated as of August 19, 2011, among the Partnership, as U.S. borrower; certain subsidiaries of the Partnership from time
to time party thereto, as designated borrowers; Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent; and certain other financial institutions
party thereto, as lenders, as amended.
The committed borrowing
capacity under the Revolving Credit Agreement is $1.35 billion, up to $400 million of which is available for the issuance of letters
of credit and up to $150 million of which is available for swing line loans. The committed amount may be increased at the option
of the Partnership to $2.1 billion, subject to, among other terms and conditions, obtaining additional or increased lender commitments.
Further, the Revolving Credit Agreement permits each Canadian subsidiary of the Partnership that is then designated as a Designated Borrower
to obtain advances in Canadian or U.S. dollars, including Canadian BA’s, and Letters of Credit, up to an aggregate outstanding principal
amount of the U.S. dollar equivalent of $1 billion. Payment Obligations of each Designated Borrower are guaranteed by the Partnership.
The Revolving Credit Agreement has a scheduled maturity date of August 20, 2026 and provides for one or more one-year extensions
subject to applicable lender approval and other terms and conditions set forth in the Revolving Credit Agreement.
Borrowings under the
Revolving Credit Agreement accrue interest based, at the applicable Borrower’s election, on either the Eurocurrency Rate, the Base
Rate or the Canadian Prime Rate, in each case, plus an applicable margin. Fees on issued Letters of Credit and accepted Canadian BA’s
accrue at the applicable margin for Eurocurrency Rate Loans, and a facility fee accrues at an applicable margin. The applicable margin
used in connection with interest rates and fees is based on the Partnership’s credit rating at the applicable time.
The Revolving Credit
Agreement contains representations and warranties and events of default that are customary for investment grade, senior unsecured commercial
bank credit agreements. In addition, the Revolving Credit Agreement contains various covenants limiting the Partnership’s or certain
of its subsidiaries’ ability to, among other things:
|
·
|
grant liens on their principal property or equity interests in subsidiaries
of the Partnership;
|
|
·
|
incur
indebtedness, including capital leases;
|
|
·
|
sell
substantially all of our assets or enter into a merger or consolidation;
|
|
·
|
engage in transactions with affiliates; and
|
|
·
|
enter into certain burdensome agreements.
|
In addition, the Revolving
Credit Agreement prohibits the declaration or making of distributions on, or purchases or redemptions of, the Partnership’s equity
interests if any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or, immediately after giving effect thereto, would result
therefrom.
The financial covenant
in the Revolving Credit Agreement, tested on a quarterly basis, limits Consolidated Funded Indebtedness to adjusted Consolidated EBITDA
to no greater than 5.00 to 1.00, which increases to 5.50 to 1.00 during an Acquisition Period.
A default under the Revolving
Credit Agreement would permit the Lenders to terminate their commitments and to accelerate the maturity of the outstanding debt.
The above description
of the Revolving Credit Agreement is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the Revolving Credit Agreement, which is attached hereto
as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
Senior Secured Hedged Inventory Facility
On August 20, 2021,
Plains Marketing, L.P. (“PMLP”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Partnership, entered into a Fourth Amended and Restated
Credit Agreement (the “Restated Hedged Inventory Facility”) among PMLP and Plains Midstream Canada ULC, a British Columbia
unlimited liability company, as Borrowers; the Partnership, as Guarantor; Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent and Swing Line
Lender; Bank of America, N.A., Citibank, N.A., JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as L/C Issuers; and
the other Lenders party thereto (terms used but not defined in this description of the Restated Hedged Inventory Facility have the meanings
assigned to them in the Restated Hedged Inventory Facility). The Restated Hedged Inventory Facility replaces PMLP’s Third Amended
and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of August 19, 2011 (as amended, the “Previous Facility”), among PMLP, as borrower;
the Partnership, as guarantor; Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent and initial issuer of letters of credit; and certain other
financial institutions party thereto, as lenders.
The committed borrowing
capacity under the Restated Hedged Inventory Facility is $1.35 billion, subject to borrowing base restrictions, of which up to $400 million
is available for the issuance of Letters of Credit and up to $75 million is available for swing line loans. The committed
amount may be increased at the option of PMLP to $1.9 billion, subject to, among other terms and conditions, obtaining additional
or increased lender commitments. Proceeds from the Restated Hedged Inventory Facility will be used to finance purchased or stored hedged
inventory. Obligations under the Restated Hedged Inventory Facility are secured by the financed inventory and the associated accounts
receivable, and will be repaid from the proceeds of the sale of the financed inventory. In addition, PMLP’s payment Obligations
under the Restated Hedged Inventory Facility are guaranteed by the Partnership. The Revolving Credit Agreement has a scheduled maturity
date of August 20, 2024 and provides for one or more one-year extensions subject to applicable lender approval and other terms and
conditions set forth in the Restated Hedged Inventory Facility.
Borrowings under the Restated Hedged Inventory Facility accrue interest
based, at PMLP’s election, on either the Eurocurrency Rate or the Base Rate, in each case, plus an applicable margin. Fees on issued
Letters of Credit accrue at the applicable margin for Eurocurrency Rate Loans, and a commitment fee accrues at an applicable margin. The
applicable margin used in connection with interest rates and fees is based on the Partnership’s credit rating at the applicable
time.
The covenants and events
of default in the Restated Hedged Inventory Facility remain substantially unchanged from the Previous Facility, and the Restated Hedged
Inventory Facility contains cross default provisions. In addition, the Restated Hedged Inventory Facility contains various covenants limiting
PMLP’s ability to, among other things:
|
·
|
grant liens on Collateral or related inventory and rights;
|
|
·
|
enter
into a merger or consolidation or sell substantially all of its assets;
|
|
·
|
engage in transactions with affiliates; and
|
|
·
|
enter into negative pledge arrangements.
|
The financial covenant in the Restated Hedged
Inventory Facility limits Consolidated Funded Indebtedness of the Partnership to adjusted Consolidated EBITDA of the Partnership to a
maximum ratio of 5.00 to 1.00, which increases to 5.50 to 1.00 during an Acquisition Period.
A default under the Restated Hedged Inventory
Facility permits the lenders to terminate their commitments and to accelerate the maturity of the outstanding debt.
The above description of the Restated Hedged
Inventory Facility is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the Restated Hedged Inventory Facility, which is attached hereto as Exhibit
10.2 and incorporated herein by reference.
