By Amit Chowdhry ● Sep 28, 2024

Hartree Partners announced the closing of its core senior secured borrowing base revolving credit facility on September 4, 2024, totaling $4.1 billion. And the $4.1 billion credit facility, 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 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.

This facility was oversubscribed, with over $4.25 billion in total commitments received. During this renewal, the facility was amended to add Hartree’s subsidiary Sprague Operating Resources, 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.

MUFG Bank, Ltd. served as Administrative Agent and Sole Bookrunner for the Facility; MUFG Bank, Société Générale, Wells Fargo Bank, Coöperatieve Rabobank, New York Branch, and ING Capital served as Joint Lead Arrangers for the Facility. And 17 other banks participated at various commitment levels.

Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft represented the lenders, and Hogan Lovells represented the borrower.
