HOUSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Genesis Energy, L.P. (NYSE: GEL) announced today that on July 19, 2024, it successfully syndicated, upsized and closed on an extension of its existing revolving credit facility with $900 million in commitments from both existing and new lenders with an initial maturity date of September 1, 2028. The relevant covenants contained in the new facility will remain materially similar to those in the previous revolving credit facility, although, prospectively, the partnership will have an expanded permitted investment basket which will provide increased flexibility to potentially purchase existing private or public securities across the capital structure that management might then perceive to be a high-valued use of capital.
Grant Sims, CEO of Genesis Energy said, “As we gain an increasingly clearer line of sight to the important inflection point where we will complete our current major capital spending program and be on the doorstep of the notable step change in earnings starting next year, we thought it was timely and prudent to proactively upsize and extend the tenor of our senior secured credit facility. With this extension, along with the successful bond refinancing in May, we now have no debt maturities until January 2027, and have ensured the partnership has more than adequate financial flexibility and ample liquidity to execute on our plan to further simplify our capital structure and return capital to our stakeholders. We very much value the relationships with both the existing and new banks in our group and are very appreciative of their continued and increased support of Genesis.”
