[8-K] Archrock, Inc. Reports Material Event

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Archrock, Inc. has amended its senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility to reduce its borrowing costs. On December 12, 2025, the company and its subsidiaries entered into a Third Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and other lenders.

The amendment removes a 0.10% per annum credit spread adjustment previously included in several SOFR-based interest calculations. It also lowers the applicable margin on all borrowings by 0.25% per annum, so margins now range from 1.75% to 2.50% per annum for Term SOFR loans and from 0.75% to 1.50% per annum for Base Rate loans, based on a total leverage ratio pricing grid. In addition, the commitment fee on the daily unused amount of the facility is reduced from 0.375% to 0.25% per annum when less than 50% of the facility is utilized, trimming standby costs when the facility is not fully drawn.

Credit markets analyst

Archrock secured modestly better pricing on its revolving credit facility.

Archrock, Inc. amended its senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility on December 12, 2025, adjusting interest and fee terms with its lending syndicate led by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.. The amendment removes a 0.10% per annum credit spread adjustment used in SOFR-based rate calculations and cuts the applicable margin on all borrowings by 0.25% per annum.

Following these changes, the applicable margin now ranges from 1.75% to 2.50% per annum for Term SOFR loans and from 0.75% to 1.50% per annum for Base Rate loans, determined by a total leverage ratio pricing grid. The commitment fee on the unused portion of the facility is also reduced from 0.375% to 0.25% per annum when less than 50% of the credit facility is utilized, lowering costs for undrawn capacity.

These adjustments collectively point to somewhat more favorable funding terms, which may trim interest and standby fee expense when the facility is used or kept available. The practical impact will depend on Archrock’s future borrowing levels under the facility and how its leverage ratio positions it on the pricing grid, details that would emerge over subsequent reporting periods.

Item 1.01Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On December 12, 2025, Archrock, Inc. (“we” or “us”), Archrock Partners Operating LLC, Archrock Services, L.P. (“ASLP” and, together with Archrock Partners Operating LLC, the “Borrowers” and each, a “Borrower”) and certain of our subsidiaries entered into a Third Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Third Amendment”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”), and certain financial institutions as lenders. The Third Amendment amends the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of May 16, 2023, among us, the Borrowers, certain of our subsidiaries, the Administrative Agent and certain financial institutions as lenders or issuing banks (as in effect prior to the Third Amendment, the “Existing Credit Agreement”), which governs our senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”).

The Third Amendment amends the Existing Credit Agreement to, among other things, (i) remove the 0.10% per annum credit spread adjustment that was previously included in the calculation of Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR, the Adjusted REVSOFR30 Rate and Adjusted Term SOFR (each as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) applicable to all interest periods applicable to the loans made under the Credit Facility, (ii) decrease the applicable margin for all borrowings by 0.25% per annum such that the applicable margin for borrowings varies (A) in the case of Term SOFR loans, from 1.75% to 2.50% per annum and (B) in the case of Base Rate loans, from 0.75% to 1.50% per annum (such margin determined based on a total leverage ratio pricing grid) and (iii) decrease the commitment fee payable on the daily unused amount of the Credit Facility from 0.375% per annum to 0.25% per annum when less than 50% of the Credit Facility is utilized.

The foregoing summary of the Third Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Third Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

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

The description of the Third Amendment contained in Item 1.01 in this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03.

Item 9.01Financial Statements and Exhibits.

The Third Amendment has been filed to provide investors with information regarding its terms. The agreement is not intended to provide any other information about us or our business or operations. In particular, the representations, warranties, and covenants contained in the agreement were made only for purposes of such agreement and, in certain circumstances, as of specific dates, and were solely for the benefit of the parties to the agreement. The assertions embodied in any representations, warranties, and covenants contained in the agreement may be subject to qualifications with respect to knowledge and materiality different from those applicable to investors and may be qualified by information in confidential disclosure schedules not included with the exhibits. These disclosure schedules may contain information that modifies, qualifies and creates exceptions to the representations, warranties and covenants set forth in the agreement. Moreover, certain representations, warranties, and covenants in the agreement may have been used for the purpose of allocating risk between parties, rather than establishing matters as facts. In addition, information concerning the subject matter of the representations, warranties and covenants may have changed after the date of the agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in our public disclosures. Accordingly, investors should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants in the agreement as characterizations of the actual state of facts about us or our business or operations on the date hereof.
