Summary
Marathon Petroleum Corporation (MPC) filed an 8-K on July 25, 2019, to report on an amendment to its existing accounts receivable securitization facility. The key event is the Second Amendment to the Receivables Purchase Agreement, entered into on July 19, 2019. This amendment primarily extends the facility's term to July 16, 2021.
