(“FCX”), PT Freeport Indonesia and Freeport-McMoRan Oil & Gas LLC, as borrowers, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as administrative agent, Bank of America, N.A., as syndication agent and each of the lenders and issuing banks party thereto entered into the First Amendment to Revolving Credit Agreement dated as of May 2, 2019 (“First Amendment”) to the Revolving Credit Agreement dated as of April 20, 2018, among the borrowers, the administrative agent, the syndication agent, and each of the lenders and issuing banks party thereto (as amended, the “Revolving Credit Facility”).
The changes made pursuant to the First Amendment include (i) extending the maturity date by one year to April 20, 2024 for $3.26 billion of the Revolving Credit Facility with the remaining $240 million maturing on April 20, 2023 (the scheduled maturity date) and (ii) modifying the calculation of the total debt component used to determine the total leverage ratio by increasing the amount of unrestricted cash that may be applied to reduce the amount of total debt. The First Amendment provides for no other substantive changes.
As of May 2, 2019, FCX had no borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility and $13 million in letters of credit issued, resulting in availability of approximately $3.5 billion, of which approximately $1.5 billion could be used for additional letters of credit.
Certain of the lenders and agents under the Revolving Credit Facility, and their respective affiliates have in the past engaged, and may in the future engage, in transactions with FCX and its affiliates, and have in the past performed, and may in the future perform, services, including commercial banking, financial advisory and investment banking services, for FCX and its affiliates, in the ordinary course of business for which they have received or will receive customary fees and expenses.
