Item 1.01. | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On May 20, 2022, Huntsman International LLC (“HI”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Huntsman Corporation (the “Company”), entered into a Credit Agreement with Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent, Citibank, N.A., BOFA Securities, Inc., PNC Capital Markets LLC, TD Securities (USA) LLC and Truist Securities, Inc., as Co-Sustainability Structuring Agents, Bank of America, N.A., PNC Bank, National Association, The Toronto Dominion Bank, New York Branch and Truist Bank, as co-syndication agents, and BMO Harris Bank N.A., Industrial and Commercial Bank of China Limited, New York Branch JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and MUFG Bank, Ltd, as co-documentation agents, and the lenders thereto, in connection with a $1.2 billion unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Agreement”). HI may increase the credit facility commitments up to an additional $500 million, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. Unless previously terminated in accordance with its terms, the Credit Agreement will mature in May 2027.
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement will bear interest at the rates specified in the Credit Agreement, which vary based on the type of loan and HI’s debt ratings. HI is also required to pay certain fees in connection with the Credit Agreement, including commitment fees on a quarterly basis in respect of the unutilized portion of the commitments under the Credit Agreement and certain fees to each of the administrative agent, the co-syndication agents and the co-documentation agents upon the effectiveness of the Credit Agreement.
The Credit Agreement contains a financial covenant regarding the leverage ratio of HI and its subsidiaries. The Credit Agreement also contains other customary covenants and events of default for credit facilities of this type. Upon an event of default that is not cured or waived within any applicable cure periods, in addition to other remedies that may be available to the lenders, the obligations under the Credit Agreement may be accelerated.
Under the Credit Agreement, the interest rate margin and the commitment fee rates are also subject to adjustments based on the Company’s performance on specified sustainability target thresholds with respect to annual percentage reduction in operational greenhouse gas emissions intensity and annual percentage reduction in water consumption intensity which will be subject to limited assurance verification by a qualified independent external reviewer.
The foregoing does not constitute a complete summary of the terms of the Credit Agreement. The description of the terms of the Credit Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to such agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
Item 1.02. | Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement. |
In connection with entering into the Credit Agreement, on May 20, 2022, HI terminated all commitments and repaid all obligations under HI’s existing Credit Agreement, dated as of May 21, 2018, among HI, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified).
