Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On August 22, 2012, Regency Gas Services LP (the “Operating Partnership”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Regency Energy Partners LP (the “Partnership”), entered into the Increase Joinder (the “Increase Joinder”) to its Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, originally dated as of December 1, 2004 (the “Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of financial institutions, including Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent. The Increase Joinder was exercised as contemplated by the commitment increase section of the Credit Agreement, for which the Partnership is a guarantor. The Operating Partnership exercised the accordion feature of the Credit Agreement to increase its commitments under the revolving credit facility by $250 million to a total of $1.15 billion. The new commitments will be available pursuant to the same terms and subject to the same interest rates and fees as the existing commitments under the Credit Agreement. The increase to the commitments will become effective upon the satisfaction of certain conditions contained in the Credit Agreement as well as conditions contained in the Increase Joinder, one of which is a 10-day notice period. It is anticipated that the increase to the commitments will become effective on September 6, 2012.
The foregoing description is summary in nature and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Increase Joinder, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1, and incorporated herein by reference.
