(1)    Unamortized debt issuance costs associated with our Revolving Loan, as defined below (included in “Other Assets, net of amortization” on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets), under our senior secured credit facility were $3.1 million and $4.7 million as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Senior Secured Credit Facility

On April 8, 2021, we entered into the Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “credit agreement”) to replace our Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, which provides for a $950 million senior secured credit facility, comprised of a revolving loan facility with a borrowing capacity of $650 million (the “Revolving Loan”) and a term loan facility of $300 million (the “Term Loan”). We repaid the Term Loan in full on November 17, 2021 with a portion of the proceeds received from our sale of a 36% minority interest in CHOPS (Note 10). The credit agreement matures on March 15, 2024, subject to extension at our request for one additional year on up to two occasions and subject to certain conditions.

On May 17, 2022, we entered into our Second Amendment and Consent to the credit agreement (the “credit agreement amendment”). This credit agreement amendment, among other things, permitted the entry into and performance of the transactions and agreements secured by the ORRI Interests (as defined below) and replaced our existing LIBOR rate based borrowings with Term SOFR rate, which is a forward looking term rate based on SOFR, discussed in further detail below.

At September 30, 2022, the key terms for rates under our Revolving Loan (which are dependent on our leverage ratio as defined in the credit agreement amendment) are as follows:

•The interest rate on borrowings may be based on an alternate base rate or Term SOFR, at our option. Interest on alternate base rate loans is equal to the sum of (a) the highest of (i) the prime rate in effect on such day, (ii) the federal funds effective rate in effect on such day plus 0.5% and (iii) the Adjusted Term SOFR (as defined in our credit agreement amendment) for a one-month tenor in effect on such day plus 1% and (b) the applicable margin. The Adjusted Term SOFR is equal to the sum of (a) the Term SOFR rate (as defined in our credit agreement amendment) for such period plus (b) the Term SOFR Adjustment of 0.1% plus (c) the applicable margin. The applicable margin varies from 2.25% to 3.75% on Term SOFR borrowings and from 1.25% to 2.75% on alternate base rate borrowings, depending on our leverage ratio. Our leverage ratio is recalculated quarterly and in connection with each material acquisition. At September 30, 2022, the applicable margins on our borrowings were 2.00% for alternate base rate borrowings and 3.00% for Term SOFR borrowings based on our leverage ratio.

•Letter of credit fee rates range from 2.25% to 3.75% based on our leverage ratio as computed under the credit agreement and can fluctuate quarterly. At September 30, 2022, our letter of credit rate was 3.00%.

•We pay a commitment fee on the unused portion of the Revolving Loan. The commitment fee rates on the unused committed amount will range from 0.30% to 0.50% per annum depending on our leverage ratio. At September 30, 2022, our commitment fee rate on the unused committed amount was 0.50%.

•We have the ability to increase the aggregate size of the Revolving Loan by an additional $200 million, subject to lender consent and certain other customary conditions.

At September 30, 2022, we had $120.2 million outstanding under our Revolving Loan, with $11.3 million of the borrowed amount designated as a loan under the inventory sublimit. Our credit agreement allows up to $100.0 million of the capacity to be used for letters of credit, of which $4.5 million was outstanding at September 30, 2022. Due to the revolving nature of loans under our Revolving Loan, additional borrowings, periodic repayments and re-borrowings may be made until the maturity date. The total amount available for borrowings under our Revolving Loan at September 30, 2022 was $525.3 million, subject to compliance with covenants. Our credit agreement does not include a “borrowing base” limitation except with respect to our inventory loans.

Alkali Senior Secured Notes Issuance and Related Transactions

On May 17, 2022, Genesis Energy, L.P., through its newly created wholly-owned unrestricted subsidiary, GA ORRI, LLC (“GA ORRI”), issued $425 million principal amount of our 5.875% senior secured notes due 2042 (the “Alkali senior secured notes”) to certain institutional investors (the “Notes Offering”), secured by GA ORRI’s fifty-year limited term overriding royalty interest in substantially all of the Alkali Business’ trona mineral leases (the “ORRI Interests”). Interest payments are due on the last day of each quarter with the initial interest payment made on June 30, 2022. The agreement governing the Alkali senior secured notes also requires principal repayments on the last day of each quarter commencing with the first quarter of 2024. Principal repayments totaling $49.9 million are due within the next five years, with the remaining quarterly principal repayments due thereafter through March 31, 2042. We are required to maintain a certain level of cash in a liquidity reserve account (owned by GA ORRI) to be held as collateral for future interest and principal payments as calculated and described in the agreement governing the Alkali senior secured notes. As of September 30, 2022 our liquidity reserve account had a balance of $18.6 million, which is classified as “Restricted cash” on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The issuance generated net proceeds of $408 million, net of the issuance discount of $17 million. We used a portion of the net proceeds from the issuance to fully redeem the outstanding Alkali Holdings preferred units (as defined and further discussed in Note 10) and utilized the remainder to repay a portion of the outstanding borrowings under our credit agreement as well as fund our liquidity reserve account.

Additionally, on May 17, 2022, as noted above, we entered into our credit agreement amendment. This amendment also designated GA ORRI and its direct parent, GA ORRI Holdings, LLC (“GA ORRI Holdings”), as unrestricted subsidiaries under our credit agreement. We also designated GA ORRI and GA ORRI Holdings as unrestricted subsidiaries under the indentures governing our senior unsecured notes. On May 17, we also reclassified the subsidiaries originally held by our Alkali Business as restricted subsidiaries under our credit agreement and under the indentures governing our senior unsecured notes.

Senior Unsecured Note Transactions

On December 17, 2020, we issued $750 million in aggregate principal amount of our 8.00% senior unsecured notes due January 15, 2027 (the “2027 Notes”). Interest payments are due on January 15 and July 15 of each year with the initial interest payment due on July 15, 2021. The issuance generated net proceeds of approximately $737 million, net of issuance costs incurred. We used $316.5 million of the net proceeds to repay the portion of the 6.00% senior unsecured notes due May 15, 2023 (the “2023 Notes”) (including principal, accrued interest and tender premium) that were validly tendered, and the remaining proceeds were used to repay a portion of the borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit facility. On January 19, 2021, we redeemed the remaining principal balance outstanding on our 2023 Notes of $80.9 million in accordance with the terms and conditions of the indenture governing the 2023 Notes. We incurred a total loss of approximately $1.6 million relating to the extinguishment of our remaining 2023 Notes, inclusive of the redemption fee and the write-off of the related unamortized debt issuance costs, which is recorded in “Other income (expense)” in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

On April 22, 2021, we completed our offering of an additional $250 million in aggregate principal amount of our 2027 Notes. The notes constitute an additional issuance of our existing 2027 Notes that we issued on December 17, 2020 in an aggregate principal amount of $750 million. The additional $250 million of notes have identical terms as (other than with respect to the issue price) and constitute part of the same series of the 2027 Notes. The $250 million of the 2027 Notes were issued at a premium of 103.75% plus accrued interest from December 17, 2020. We used the net proceeds from the offering for general partnership purposes, including repaying a portion of the revolving borrowings outstanding under our credit agreement.

During 2022, we repurchased certain of our senior unsecured notes on the open market and recorded cancellation of debt income of $3.9 million and $8.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. These are recorded within “Other income (expense)” in our Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Our $2.9 billion aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes co-issued by Genesis Energy, L.P. and Genesis Energy Finance Corporation are fully and unconditionally guaranteed jointly and severally by all of Genesis Energy, L.P.’s current and future 100% owned domestic subsidiaries (the “Guarantor Subsidiaries”), except GA ORRI and GA ORRI Holdings, and certain other subsidiaries. The non-guarantor subsidiaries are indirectly owned by Genesis Crude Oil, L.P., a

Guarantor Subsidiary. The Guarantor Subsidiaries largely own the assets, other than the ORRI Interests, that we use to operate our business. As a general rule, the assets and credit of our unrestricted subsidiaries are not available to satisfy the debts of Genesis Energy, L.P., Genesis Energy Finance Corporation or the Guarantor Subsidiaries, and the liabilities of our unrestricted subsidiaries do not constitute obligations of Genesis Energy, L.P., Genesis Energy Finance Corporation or the Guarantor Subsidiaries
