Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On March 10, 2016, Sprague Operating Resources LLC (the “U.S. Borrower”) and Kildair Services ULC (the “Canadian Borrower” and together with the U.S. Borrower, the “Borrowers”), the several banks and other financial institutions party thereto and JP Morgan Bank, N.A., in its capacity as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”), entered into an Amendment (the “Credit Agreement Amendment”) to that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement by and among the Borrowers, the banks and financial institutions party thereto and the Administrative Agent, dated as of December 9, 2014 (the “Credit Agreement”).
The Credit Agreement Amendment increased the Credit Agreement’s acquisition facility from $400.0 million to $550.0 million. The Credit Agreement Amendment also made a number of discrete modifications to the Credit Agreement including changes to elements of the borrowing base to reflect the Borrowers’ increased use of certain forward contracts and to accommodate payment patterns of customers in certain markets, changes to certain financial definitions to reflect the Borrowers’ restructuring of its ownership of Wintergreen Transport Corporation ULC, amendments to the leverage covenants to allow for temporary increases in leverage for six months following material acquisitions, and changes to the capital expenditures covenant to allow for additional acquisitions.
The disclosure contained in this Item 1.01 does not purport to be a complete description of the Credit Agreement Amendment and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Credit Agreement Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
