Item 1.01
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Overview
On September 30, 2016, CVR Partners, LP, CVR Nitrogen, LP, East Dubuque Nitrogen Fertilizers, LLC, Coffeyville Resources Nitrogen Fertilizers, LLC, CVR Nitrogen Holdings, LLC, CVR Nitrogen Finance Corporation and CVR Nitrogen GP, LLC (collectively, the "Credit Parties") entered into an ABL credit agreement (the "ABL Credit Facility") with a group of lenders and UBS AG, Stamford Branch ("UBS"), as administrative agent and collateral agent.
The ABL Credit Facility is a senior secured asset based revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $50.0 million with an incremental facility, which permits an increase in borrowings of up to $25.0 million in the aggregate subject to additional lender commitments and certain other conditions. The proceeds of the loans may be used for capital expenditures and working capital and general corporate purposes of the Credit Parties and their subsidiaries. The ABL Credit Facility provides for loans and standby letters of credit in an amount up to the aggregate availability under the facility, subject to meeting certain borrowing base conditions, with sub-limits of the lesser of 10% of the total facility commitment and $5.0 million for swingline loans and $10.0 million for letters of credit.
The borrowing base at any time equals the sum of (without duplication):
•
the aggregate amount of unrestricted cash and qualified cash equivalents not exceeding $25.0 million held in deposit accounts or securities accounts that are subject to a control agreement and a first priority lien, plus
•
85% of eligible accounts, plus
•
the lesser of (i) 65% of the market value of eligible inventory (other than eligible spare parts inventory and eligible precious metals inventory) and (ii) 85% of the net orderly liquidation value of eligible inventory (other than eligible spare parts inventory and eligible precious metals inventory), plus
•
the lesser of (i) 65% of the market value of eligible spare parts inventory and eligible precious metals inventory, (ii) 85% of the net orderly liquidation value of eligible spare parts inventory and eligible precious metals inventory and (iii) $10.0 million, minus
•
the aggregate amount of reserves then established.
Furthermore, all borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility are subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions, including absence of a default and accuracy of representations and warranties.
Interest Rate and Fees
At the option of the borrowers, loans under the ABL Credit Facility initially bear interest at an annual rate equal to (i) 2.00% plus LIBOR or (ii) 1.00% plus a base rate, subject to a 0.50% step-down based on the previous quarter's excess availability.
The borrowers must also pay a commitment fee on the unutilized commitments to the lenders under the ABL Credit Facility equal to (I) 0.375% per annum for the first full calendar quarter after the closing date and (II) thereafter, (i) 0.375% per annum if utilization under the facility is less than 50% of the total commitments and (ii) 0.25% per annum if utilization under the facility is equal to or greater than 50% of the total commitments. The borrowers must also pay customary letter of credit fees equal to 2.00%, subject to a 0.50% step-down based on the previous quarter's excess availability, on the maximum amount available to be drawn under, and customary facing fees equal to 0.125% of the face amount of, each letter of credit.
Mandatory and Voluntary Repayments
The borrowers are required to repay amounts outstanding under the ABL Credit Facility under specified circumstances, including (i) with the proceeds of certain asset sales and (ii) when the sum of the aggregate principal amount of all loans then outstanding and the aggregate amount of all outstanding letters of credit and all unpaid drawings at any time exceeds the borrowing base at such time. In addition, the borrowers are permitted to voluntarily prepay amounts outstanding under the ABL Credit Facility at any time.
Amortization and Final Maturity
There is no scheduled amortization under the ABL Credit Facility. All outstanding loans under the facility are due and payable in full on September 30, 2021.
Guarantees and Security
The obligations under the ABL Credit Facility and related guarantees are secured by a first priority security interest in the Credit Parties' inventory, accounts receivable, deposit, securities and commodity accounts and related assets and a second priority security interest in substantially all of the Credit Parties' other assets, in each case subject to exceptions.
