Item 1.01.                                        Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

As previously disclosed, EnLink Midstream Partners, LP (the “Partnership”), entered into a Credit Agreement, dated as of February 20, 2014 (the “Credit Agreement”), with the lenders party thereto (the “Lenders”) and Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”), L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender thereunder.  On February 5, 2015, the Partnership entered into a Commitment Increase and Extension Agreement (the “Commitment Increase Agreement”) with the Lenders party thereto and the Administrative Agent.

 

Prior to the effective date of the Commitment Increase Agreement, the Credit Agreement (i) permitted the Partnership to borrow up to $1.0 billion (the “Aggregate Commitments”) on a revolving credit basis and (ii) would have matured on the fifth anniversary of the initial funding date, which was March 7, 2014.  The Commitment Increase Agreement (a) increases the Aggregate Commitments by $500 million to an aggregate of $1.5 billion (the “Accordion Increase”) and (b) extends the maturity date of the Aggregate Commitments to the sixth anniversary of the initial funding date (the “Extension”).

 

The Commitment Increase Agreement also amends the Credit Agreement such that, after giving effect to the Accordion Increase and the Extension, the Partnership is permitted to, (x) subject to certain conditions and the receipt of additional commitments by one or more lenders, increase the Aggregate Commitments by an additional amount not to exceed $500 million and, (y) subject to certain conditions and the consent of the requisite lenders, on two separate occasions extend the maturity date of the Credit Agreement by one year.

 

The foregoing description of the Commitment Increase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Commitment Increase Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Current Report”) and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 2.03.                                        Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

 

The information set forth in Item 1.01 of this Current Report is incorporated herein by reference.
