USD Partners Announces Forbearance Agreement Under Credit Agreement

USD Partners LP (OTC: USDP) (the “Partnership”) announced today that on June 21, 2024 it entered into an agreement (the “Forbearance Agreement”) with the lenders and administrative agent under its existing Credit Agreement. Pursuant to the Forbearance Agreement, subject to certain terms and conditions, the lenders have agreed to forbear through and until November 1, 2024 (the “Termination Date”), from exercising any rights or remedies arising from certain events of default and certain prospective events of default related to the Partnership’s failure to satisfy certain milestones under the Credit Agreement and other loan documents.

In exchange for agreeing to enter into the Forbearance Agreement, the lenders under the Credit Agreement will require the Partnership to, among other things, complete the sale of the Partnership’s Hardisty Rail Terminal on or before December 30, 2024. The Termination Date may be extended (i) to December 30, 2024, upon satisfaction of certain milestones in the sale process and (ii) to January 31, 2025, in the discretion of the administrative agent. The Forbearance Agreement also obligates the Partnership to adhere to an operating budget approved by the administrative agent and includes an obligation to repay borrowings with any cash on hand in excess of an agreed maximum.

The Hardisty Rail Terminal is underpinned by a long term take-or-pay contract to load DRU volumes with an investment grade customer. The DRU, which is owned jointly by Gibson Energy Inc. and US Development Group, LLC (“USDG”), the owner of the Partnership’s general partner, is not a part of the sale.
