- Unused Line Fee: 0.250% or 0.30% depending on average commitment usage.

Material Changes Versus Prior Period
The filing represents a material change in the company's credit structure through the execution of a Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. This agreement replaces the prior facility terms with the new $1.1 billion commitment and updated pricing structures. The filing does not provide comparative financial data (e.g., revenue or EBITDA) against prior periods.
Guidance, Covenants, and Risks
The agreement includes specific financial covenants and operational restrictions:
- Springing Financial Covenant: A minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.00 to 1.00 is triggered if excess availability falls below the greater of $90 million or 10% of the loan limit. This covenant remains in effect until excess availability exceeds the threshold for 30 consecutive days.
- Negative Covenants: Restrictions on incurring additional indebtedness, liens, investments, mergers, asset sales, dividends, and affiliate transactions.
- Prepayment Requirements: Mandatory prepayment if credit extensions exceed the borrowing base or if net cash proceeds are generated from unauthorized debt.
- Expansion Option: The company retains the right to request an increase in revolving commitments up to an additional $500.0 million, subject to lender approval.
- Guarantors: Obligations are guaranteed by the Company and its wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries, excluding Delek Logistics Partners, LP and related MLP entities.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the current excess availability under the borrowing base to determine if the springing fixed charge coverage covenant is currently active.
- Confirm the utilization rate of the $1.1 billion facility to assess the applicable unused line fee (0.250% vs. 0.30%).
- Review the collateral pool composition (receivables and inventory) to understand the borrowing base calculation mechanics.
- Monitor compliance with negative covenants regarding dividends and additional indebtedness.
- Check for any incremental facility requests up to the $500 million expansion option.
