Western Midstream Operating, LP ("WES Operating"), a subsidiary of Western Midstream Partners, LP ("WES"), obtained a written consent on April 7, 2025 from certain lenders to its senior unsecured revolving credit agreement (the "RCF").
The consent extends the maturity date, for loans and commitments totaling $1,880 milliona held by those lenders, from April 6, 2029 to April 6, 2030. The consent exercised the second and final extension option available under Section 2.24 of the RCF. As of April 7, 2025, no borrowings or letters of credit were outstanding under the RCF.
The filing discloses that certain lenders and their affiliates have performed, and may in the future perform, financial advisory, commercial, and investment banking services for WES Operating and WES, for which they received or may receive customary fees. Affiliates of these lenders have also acted, and may act, as underwriters of WES Operating's debt issuances and WES's equity issuances.
For investors, the filing primarily reflects a maturity extension of the revolving credit facility's existing commitments rather than a new borrowing or change in financing terms. The filing does not state the total size of the facility beyond the $1,880 millionb covered by the consenting lenders.
