Par Pacific Announces Expected Term Loan Repricing
March 28 2024 - 4:29PM
Par Pacific Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: PARR) (“Par
Pacific”) today announced it expects to reprice and
allocate its existing term loan credit agreement due 2030 (the
“Term Loan Facility”). The repricing amendment, which is subject to
execution of definitive documentation and customary closing
conditions, will reduce the Applicable Margin under the Term Loan
Facility by 50 basis points, such that Base Rate loans and SOFR
loans will bear interest at the applicable base rate plus 2.75% and
3.75%, respectively. In addition, the amendment will eliminate the
Term SOFR Adjustment of 10 basis points with respect to loans under
the Term Loan Facility.
On March 22, 2024, Par Pacific announced that
Moody’s Investors Service upgraded the company’s corporate family
rating to Ba3 from B1. The amendment provides that if Par Pacific
receives a further ratings upgrade from S&P, the annual
interest rates under the Term Loan Facility will be reduced by an
additional 0.25%.
“Our strong operating performance and record
financial results over the past year have enabled us to reprice our
term loan facility on improved terms,” said Shawn Flores, Chief
Financial Officer of Par Pacific. “This amendment is expected to
provide over $3 million in annual cash savings and is in addition
to the estimated $10 million in annual savings associated with the
recently announced increase to the asset-based revolving credit
facility (“ABL”) and replacement of the Hawaii intermediation
facility.”
