Material Changes
The primary material change is the expansion of the company's debt capacity and the incurrence of new long-term debt obligations. The company secured a $1.5 billion revolving credit facility (undrawn at inception) and issued $1.25 billion in fixed-rate senior notes, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Phillips 66.
Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies
The credit agreement contains customary events of default, including nonpayment of principal or interest and violation of covenants. Interest rates on the term loan are variable, based on Adjusted Term SOFR or a reference rate plus an applicable margin determined by the company's credit ratings. The interest rate margins are scheduled to increase on the second anniversary of the funding date. The company retains the right to prepay borrowings without premium or penalty.
