Item 8.01 Other Events.
On March 23, 2015, DCP Midstream Partners, LP (the “Partnership”) was advised by DCP Midstream, LLC (“DCP Midstream”), the owner of the Partnership’s general partner, that DCP Midstream had entered into a First Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Facility Amendment”), that amends DCP Midstream’s May 2014 Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement with various financial institutions. The Credit Facility Amendment provides total revolver borrowing capacity of $1.8 billion and matures in March 2017. Certain subsidiaries of DCP Midstream, other than the Partnership, will provide guarantees of borrowings under this facility. In addition, borrowings under this facility will be secured with a pledge of DCP Midstream’s limited partner and general partner ownership interests in the Partnership as collateral. No physical assets of DCP Midstream are pledged as collateral for borrowings under this facility. The Credit Facility Amendment adds a calculation of consolidated secured leverage ratio of not more than 3.25 to 1.00 and temporarily suspends until December 31, 2015 the calculation of the consolidated leverage ratio financial covenant of not more than 5.00 to 1.00.
Indebtedness under the Credit Facility Amendment bears interest at either: (1) LIBOR, plus an applicable margin of 2.50%; or (2) (a) the base rate which shall be the higher of Wells Fargo Bank N.A.’s prime rate, the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50% or the LIBOR Market Index rate plus 1% plus (b) an applicable margin of 1.50%. The Credit Facility Amendment incurs an annual facility fee of 0.50%. This fee is paid on drawn and undrawn portions of this facility.
