Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On March 28, 2013, PetroLogistics LP (the Partnership) and PL Propylene LLC (the Borrower) entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., as Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, Swingline Lender and Sole Lead Arranger (the Agent) and the other lenders party thereto (the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement), to provide for, among other things, an increase in the size of the revolving credit facility contained in the prior credit agreement (the Prior Credit Agreement) to $170.0 million and the cancellation of the term loan facility entered into pursuant to the Prior Credit Agreement. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement has terms and conditions substantially similar to the terms and conditions of the Prior Credit Agreement and has a maturity date of March 28, 2018.
Borrowings under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate per annum based on an underlying base rate plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin for the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement ranges from 2.0% for loans bearing interest at the alternate base rate to 3.0% for loans bearing interest at LIBOR. The alternate base rate is defined as the greatest of the prime rate in effect and the federal funds effective rate in effect plus ½ of 1.0%. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement also contains a facility commitment fee at a rate of 0.50% per annum based on the daily unused amount of the commitment amount of $170 million, payable in arrears on the last day of March, June, September and December of each year.
The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains certain covenants that will, subject to certain exceptions, limit the ability of the Borrower to, among other things:
· incur, assume or permit to exist additional indebtedness, guarantees and other contingent obligations;
· incur liens;
· pay dividends or make other distributions;
· make certain loans and investments;
· consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of our assets; and
· enter into transactions with affiliates.
In addition, similar to the Prior Credit Agreement, under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, we are required to maintain a total senior secured leverage ratio, as defined, no greater than 2.0 to 1.0, but only in the event that on the last day of any quarter beginning with the quarter ended June 30, 2013, the aggregate amounts outstanding under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement exceeds $120 million.
The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains certain customary representations and warranties, affirmative covenants and event of default provisions.
Each of the following, among other things, could constitute an event of default under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement:
· failure to pay principal, interest or any other amount when due;
· breach of the representations or warranties in the credit agreement;
· failure to comply with the covenants in the credit agreement;
· cross-default to other indebtedness;
· bankruptcy or insolvency;
· certain events under ERISA; and
· a change of control.
If an event of default occurs, the Agent would be entitled to take various actions, including the acceleration of amounts due under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, termination of the commitments under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and all remedial actions available to a secured creditor.
Affiliates of certain of the Lenders party to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement have engaged in, and in the future may engage in, commercial banking, investment banking and advisory services for the Partnership and the Borrower. Such affiliates have received, or may in the future receive, customary fees and reimbursement of expenses in connection with these transactions, and, to the extent the Partnership or the Borrower use all or a portion of the net proceeds of these transactions to reduce the amount outstanding under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, they may receive a portion of such net proceeds.
A copy of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing does not constitute a complete summary of the terms of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and the description of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of Exhibit 10.1.
