Delek Logistics (NYSE: DKL) signs new $1.3B secured credit facility
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Delek Logistics Partners, LP entered into a new senior secured credit agreement providing a revolving credit facility of up to $1.3 billion. This facility replaces the partnership’s prior revolving credit and term loan agreement and extends borrowing capacity under updated terms and covenants.
The revolving facility, which includes sublimits for letters of credit and swingline loans and an accordion feature for additional commitments, matures on the earliest of March 26, 2031 or specified dates tied to the partnership’s 8.625% senior notes due 2029 and certain termination events. Borrowings may be used to refinance prior debt, fund working capital, capital expenditures, permitted acquisitions and investments, and other general partnership purposes allowed under the agreement.
Borrowings bear interest at either a base rate or a term SOFR-based rate plus margins that vary with the partnership’s total leverage ratio, and unused commitments are subject to a commitment fee. The obligations are secured by first-priority liens on substantially all tangible and intangible assets of the partnership and guarantors. On March 26, 2026, all outstanding indebtedness under the prior credit agreement was repaid using borrowings under the new facility.

| Item 1.01. | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On March 26, 2026, Delek Logistics Partners, LP, as the borrower, and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Partnership” and occasionally referred to herein as “we,” “us” and “our”) entered into a credit agreement (the “New Credit Agreement”) with Truist Bank (“Truist”), as administrative agent, a syndicate of lenders, Bank of America, N.A., Citizens Bank, N.A., The Huntington National Bank, Mizuho Bank, Ltd., MUFG Bank, Ltd. and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as co-syndication agents, and Barclays Bank PLC, KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc. and Regions Bank, as co-documentation agents. The New Credit Agreement provides for revolving commitments up to $1,300.0 million in the aggregate with a sublimit up to $150.0 million for letters of credit and up to $50.0 million for swing line loans (the “Revolving Facility”). The Revolving Facility replaces the Partnership’s existing revolving credit facility and term loan facility under the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of October 13, 2022, as amended or amended and restated from time to time (the “Prior Credit Agreement”), with Fifth Third Bank, National Association (“Fifth Third”), as administrative agent; a syndicate of lenders, Fifth Third, BofA Securities Inc., PNC Bank Capital Markets LLC, MUFG Bank, Ltd., Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., Citizens Bank, N.A. and Royal Bank of Canada, as co-syndication agents, and Barclays Bank PLC, U.S. Bank National Association, Regions Bank and Truist Bank, as co-documentation agents. The Prior Credit Agreement was refinanced by the New Credit Agreement.
The maturity date for the Revolving Facility is the earliest of (i) March 26, 2031, (ii) the date that is 180 days prior to the earliest maturity date of the Partnership’s 8.625% Senior Notes due 2029 under that certain Indenture dated as of March 13, 2024, between the Partnership and Delek Logistics Finance Corp. (the “Outstanding 2029 Notes”), solely to the extent that on such date that is 180 days prior to the earliest maturity date of the Outstanding 2029 Notes, no less than $500.0 million of aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding 2029 Notes remains outstanding on such date, and (iii) such date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments (as defined in the New Credit Agreement) are terminated in whole due to voluntary termination or certain events of default.
The Revolving Facility will be generally used for (i) the repayment of the outstanding borrowings under the Prior Credit Agreement, (ii) working capital purposes, (iii) permitted acquisitions, other permitted investments and expenses incurred in connection therewith, (iv) general corporate purposes, including the making of capital expenditures and the refinancing of existing indebtedness, each as permitted under the New Credit Agreement, (v) restricted payments permitted by the New Credit Agreement, and (vi) any other purpose not expressly prohibited by the Loan Documents (as defined in the New Credit Agreement). The Revolving Facility has an accordion feature that will allow the Partnership to increase the available revolving borrowings under the facility by an aggregate amount not to exceed the greater of (i) $525.0 million and (ii) 100% of EBITDA (as defined in the New Credit Agreement) for the Test Period (as defined in the New Credit Agreement) most recently ended, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions under the New Credit Agreement.
Borrowings under the Revolving Facility bear interest, at the Partnership’s election, at either (i) a base rate (equal to the highest of the Prime Rate (as defined in the New Credit Agreement), the Federal Funds Rate (as defined in the New Credit Agreement) plus 0.50%, Term SOFR (as defined in the New Credit Agreement) for a one-month interest period plus 1.00%, and 1.00%) plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.50% to 1.50% per annum, or (ii) a term SOFR-based tranche rate (subject to a 0.00% floor) plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.50% to 2.50% per annum, in each case depending on the Partnership’s Total Leverage Ratio (as defined in the New Credit Agreement). Swing loans bear interest at the base rate plus the applicable margin for base rate loans. Unused revolving commitments under the Revolving Facility incur a commitment fee that ranges from 0.30% to 0.50% per annum depending on the Partnership’s Total Leverage Ratio.
The New Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants and events of default which the Partnership considers customary and are similar to, but taken as a whole, allow additional flexibility to the Partnership and its restricted subsidiaries as compared with, those in our Prior Credit Agreement. Under the financial covenants in the New Credit Agreement, the Partnership cannot:
| • | permit, as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, the Total Leverage Ratio (as defined in the New Credit Agreement) to be greater than 5.25 to 1.00; provided, that during any Temporary Increase Period (as defined in the New Credit Agreement), the Partnership cannot permit the foregoing ratio to be greater than 5.50 to 1.00; |
| • | permit, as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, the Senior Leverage Ratio (as defined in the New Credit Agreement) to be greater than 3.75 to 1.00; |
| • | permit, as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, the Interest Coverage Ratio (as defined in the New Credit Agreement) to be equal to or less than 2.00 to 1.00. |
The obligations under the New Credit Agreement are secured by first priority liens on substantially all of the tangible and intangible assets of the Partnership and the Guarantors (as defined in the New Credit Agreement), including equity interests in their direct restricted subsidiaries and permitted joint ventures, personal property, fixtures, and real estate, in each case subject to certain customary exceptions and excluded assets set forth in the New Credit Agreement.
The New Credit Agreement is governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York.
The foregoing description is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full New Credit Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference. The representations and warranties of the borrowers in the New Credit Agreement were made only for purposes of that agreement and as of specific dates and were solely for the benefit of the lenders party thereto. The New Credit Agreement is a contractual document that establishes and governs the legal relations among the parties thereto and is not intended to be a source of factual, business, or operational information about the Partnership and its subsidiaries. The representations and warranties made by the borrowers in the New Credit Agreement may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors. Accordingly, investors and security holders should not rely on such representations and warranties as characterizations of the actual state of facts or circumstances.
| Item 1.02. | Termination of Material Definitive Agreement. |
On March 26, 2026, the Partnership repaid in full all outstanding indebtedness under the Prior Credit Agreement, the Prior Credit Agreement was replaced by the New Credit Agreement, and all liabilities and obligations under the Prior Credit Agreement were satisfied in full as of that date (other than certain indemnities and contingent obligations which, by the express terms of the Prior Credit Agreement, survive the replacement of the credit facilities). The Partnership funded the repayment of its obligations under the Prior Credit Agreement with borrowings under the New Credit Agreement.
The information set forth in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.02.
| Item 2.03. | Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant. |
