Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On March 19, 2019, Valero Energy Corporation (the “Company”) amended and restated its existing revolving credit agreement dated as of November 12, 2015 to, among other things, extend the maturity from November 12, 2020 to March 19, 2024. The amended and restated credit agreement (the “Credit Facility”) was entered into by and among the Company, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as Administrative Agent and the several lenders party thereto. The Credit Facility provides for a revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $4,000,000,000 with a letter of credit subfacility of up to $2,400,000,000. Revolving commitments under the Credit Facility may be increased by up to $1,500,000,000 for a total revolving commitment of $5,500,000,000.

Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at the eurodollar rate or the base rate, at the Company’s election, plus an applicable rate ranging from 0.9% to 1.45% (in the case of eurodollar borrowings) and 0% to 0.450% (in the case of base rate borrowings), in each case based upon the Company’s ratings from Moody’s and S&P. Letters of credit can be issued in U.S. dollars or certain approved currencies.

The Credit Facility requires the Company to pay a commitment fee accruing on the daily amount of used and unused commitments of the lenders at a rate ranging from 0.10% and 0.30% per annum, based upon the Company’s ratings from Moody’s and S&P.

Interest and commitment fees under the Credit Facility are payable quarterly in arrears (or shorter, if the interest period elected by the Company is shorter than 3 months). In addition to the commitment fee, the Credit Facility also requires the Company to pay customary letter of credit participation and fronting fees to the lenders and a customary agency fee to the Administrative Agent.

The Credit Facility contains various customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default. Proceeds under the Credit Facility will be used for general corporate purposes, including, at the option of the Company, to refinance other indebtedness.

The foregoing description is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Credit Facility which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
