Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement |
Multi-Year Revolving Credit Agreement
On April 19, 2013, Questar Corporation (the “Company”) as borrower, entered into an amended and restated senior unsecured 5-year revolving credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") among the Borrower, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N. A., as syndication agent and Barclays Bank PLC, Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch and The Royal Bank of Scotland PLC, as documentation agents and the lenders named therein. The Credit Agreement commits the lenders to provide advances up to an aggregate principal amount of $750 million at any one time outstanding, with an option for the Company to request
increases in the aggregate commitments by an amount not to exceed $250 million. The Credit Agreement spans five years and has a scheduled maturity date of April 19, 2018, with an option of two one-year extensions of the maturity date.
Interest accrues on advances at a LIBOR rate or a base rate, as selected by the Company, plus an applicable margin. Proceeds of borrowings under the Credit Agreement may be used for general corporate purposes, including to provide liquidity for the Company’s commercial paper program, to finance working capital, to refinance existing indebtedness and to pay certain fees and expenses.
The Credit Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants and events of default, including a covenant based on a ratio of total consolidated debt (as defined) to total capitalization (as defined), and a change of control event. During the continuance of an event of default, the lenders may accelerate all outstanding debt and terminate all lending and letter of credit commitments.
The foregoing description of the Credit Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Credit Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.
