On October 23, 2025, Texas Pacific Land Corporation entered into a credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent and L/C issuer, and other lenders.
The agreement provides a $500.0 milliona unsecured revolving credit facility, with the ability to request up to an additional $250.0 million in commitments, and matures on October 23, 2029. The facility remains undrawn. Borrowings bear interest at term SOFR plus 2.25% or 2.50%, or a base rate plus 1.25% or 1.50%, depending on whether the consolidated total leverage ratio is at or below 2.0 to 1.0 or above it.
The company must maintain a consolidated interest coverage ratio of at least 3.0 to 1.0 and a consolidated total leverage ratio of no more than 3.50 to 1.0, tested at each fiscal quarter end. The agreement includes customary affirmative and negative covenants, including limits on liens, debt, investments, dividends and distributions, and asset dispositions. Borrowings would be unsecured, with a springing senior security interest in substantially all equity securities of the company's subsidiaries if the consolidated total leverage ratio exceeds 2.50 to 1.0.
Proceeds from future borrowings are to be used for capital expenditures, working capital, acquisitions and other general business purposes. The filing also lists customary events of default, including payment defaults, covenant breaches, cross defaults and change in control events.
According to the furnished press release (Exhibit 99.1), the company's CFO, Chris Steddum, described the facility as enhancing TPL's liquidity and positioning the company to pursue accretive growth opportunities and expand shareholder return of capital. The release states the facility was substantially oversubscribed with support from twelve financial institutions.
