NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Hartree Partners, LP (“Hartree” or the “Company”) announced the closing of its core senior secured borrowing base revolving credit facility (the “Facility”) on September 4, 2024, totaling $4.1 billion.
The $4.1 billion credit facility, which is comprised of a $2.05 billion two-year tranche and a $2.05 billion three-year tranche, also includes an accordion feature to increase the Facility up to $4.6 billion to support the Company’s liquidity needs and future growth. A diverse group of 22 banks participated in the Facility, including six new banks. The Facility was oversubscribed, with more than $4.25 billion in total commitments received. Notably, the Facility was amended during this renewal to add Hartree’s subsidiary Sprague Operating Resources LLC, which was fully acquired during 2022, as a Co-Borrower along with certain other subsidiaries of Hartree, all with an aim towards operational and financial efficiencies.
Bryan Keogh, CFO of Hartree said: “Hartree’s borrowing base revolving credit facility has been part of our DNA for almost ten years. We’re incredibly pleased that the Facility has grown with us and now not only includes a large bank group, but also supports a more diverse, multi-regional commodity asset group. We are extremely grateful for the support this bank group has demonstrated year after year in meeting Hartree’s needs.”
