Credit Facility

 

Under the provisions of the Credit Facility, the Partnership is subject to a number of restrictions and covenants. These covenants are used to calculate the available borrowing capacity on a quarterly basis. The Credit Facility is guaranteed by the Partnership’s 100% owned subsidiaries, other than MarkWest Liberty Midstream and its subsidiaries, and collateralized by substantially all of the Partnership’s assets and those of its 100% owned subsidiaries, other than MarkWest Liberty Midstream and its subsidiaries. As of June 30, 2013, the Partnership had no borrowings outstanding and approximately $11.3 million of letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Facility, leaving approximately $1,188.7 million of unused capacity of which approximately $271.5  million was available for borrowing based on financial covenant requirements.  Additionally, the full amount of unused capacity is available for borrowing on a short term basis to provide financial flexibility within a given fiscal quarter.

 

Senior Notes

 

In January 2013, the Partnership completed a public offering for $1 billion in aggregate principal amount of 4.5% senior unsecured notes due July 2023. The Partnership received net proceeds of approximately $986.0 million after deducting underwriters’ and third-party expenses. A portion of the proceeds, together with cash on hand, was used to repurchase $81.1 million aggregate principal amount of the Partnership’s 8.75% senior notes due April 2018, $175.0 million of the outstanding principal amount of the Partnership’s 6.5% senior notes due August 2021 and $245 million of the outstanding principal amount of the Partnership’s 6.25% senior notes due June 2022, with the remainder used to fund the Partnership’s capital expenditure program and for general partnership purposes. The Partnership recorded a total pre-tax loss of approximately $38.5 million related to the repurchases. The pre-tax loss consisted of approximately $7.0 million related to the non-cash write-off of the unamortized discount and deferred finance costs and approximately $31.5 million related to the payment of redemption premiums.
