HF Sinclair Credit Agreement
On April 3, 2025, HF Sinclair Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), as borrower, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent (“Wells Fargo”), and each of the financial institutions party thereto as lenders, entered into that certain Senior Unsecured Multi-Year Revolving Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”). The maximum commitment amount under the Credit Agreement is $2 billion, and it includes an accordion feature that allows the Company to increase such commitments to an aggregate principal amount of up to $2.75 billion. The initial maturity date of the Credit Agreement is April 3, 2030; however, the Credit Agreement contains an extension feature that allows the Company to extend the term of the commitment from time to time in increments of up to one year subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement.
Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement will bear interest, at the Company’s option, at either (a) the greatest of (i) the prime rate (as publicly announced from time to time by the administrative agent), (ii) a base rate equal to the highest of the Federal Funds Effective Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 1/2 of 1%, and (iii) Spread Adjusted Term SOFR (as defined in the Credit Agreement) for a one-month interest period plus 1%, as applicable, plus an applicable margin (ranging from 0.125% to 1.000%), or (b) at a rate equal to the Spread Adjusted Term SOFR (as defined in the Credit Agreement) for the applicable interest period plus an applicable margin (ranging from 1.125% to 2.000%).
The Company incurs a commitment fee on the unused portion of the commitments plus any outstanding swingline loans at a rate ranging from 0.125% to 0.325%. In each case, the applicable margin and commitment fee rate is based upon the rating issued from time to time by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., Fitch Ratings, Ltd. and Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC, as applicable, to the Company’s senior, unsecured, non-credit enhanced long-term indebtedness for borrowed money.
The foregoing description of the Credit Agreement does not purport to be complete. The description of the Credit Agreement herein is qualified by reference to the copy of the Credit Agreement attached as Exhibit 10.1, which is incorporated by reference into this Current Report on Form 8-K in its entirety.
