6.  Debt

In the first quarter of 2020, the Corporation entered into a $1.0 billion three year term loan agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A. with a maturity date of March 16, 2023.  The term loan contains provisions that require us to reduce JPMorgan’s initial funded amount of $1.0 billion.  The Corporation is currently in the process of syndicating with other lenders.  Borrowings under the term loan bear interest at the applicable interest rates either, at the Corporation’s option, the adjusted LIBOR rate in effect from time to time or the alternate base rate (as described in the term loan agreement) plus the applicable margins specified in the term loan agreement, which generally vary based on the credit rating of the Corporation’s senior, unsecured, non-credit enhanced long-term debt.  This loan has been classified as noncurrent in the consolidated balance sheet due to the Corporation’s ability and intent to refinance any amount we are unable to syndicate to other banks on a long-term basis through the Corporation’s existing $3.5 billion revolving credit facility with a maturity date of May 15, 2023.  The term loan agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants, including a financial covenant limiting the ratio of Total Consolidated Debt to Total Capitalization (as such terms are defined in the term loan agreement) of the Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries to 65%, and customary events of default.  At March 31, 2020, Hess Corporation had borrowings of $1.0 billion under this term loan agreement and was in compliance with this financial covenant.
