Par Pacific completed a major refinancing: $500 million of new 7.375% unsecured senior notes due 2034, alongside a new $1.8 billion asset-based credit facility (expandable to $2.3 billion) replacing its 2023 ABL and running to 2031 -- a much larger, cheaper and longer-dated capital structure than the company had even a few years earlier.
Par Pacific's term loan cost was cut by another 50 basis points, and its Hawaii renewable fuels joint venture added a $25 million letter-of-credit facility with Wells Fargo to help pay its feedstock suppliers.
The Mitsubishi/ENEOS renewable fuels joint venture officially closed: Par Pacific's Hawaii Renewables Holdings retains 63.5% ownership and board control (3 of 4 director seats), Alohi holds 36.5% with a downside put right, and Alohi funded its $100 million contribution.
Par Pacific's new Hawaii renewable fuels venture set up a commodity-swap and prepayment financing framework with Wells Fargo to help fund its soybean oil and crude feedstock purchases.
Par Pacific agreed to form a joint venture with Mitsubishi and ENEOS (via their Alohi Renewable Energy entity) to build and run a renewable fuels plant next to the Kapolei, Hawaii refinery -- expected to produce about 61 million gallons a year of renewable diesel, sustainable aviation fuel and related products by the end of 2025. Alohi will fund $100 million for a 36.5% stake; Par Pacific contributes the site and existing assets plus up to $21 million more.
Par Pacific let its long-standing Supply and Offtake Agreement with J. Aron for the Hawaii refinery expire on its own terms after more than six years, replacing it with a new Inventory Intermediation Agreement with Citigroup Energy -- along with terminating the related MUFG/Macquarie letter-of-credit facility, since Par Hawaii Refining now has direct access to the company's own asset-based credit facility.
Par Pacific's asset-based revolver was expanded again, to a total commitment of $1.4 billion, and the amendment also teed up bringing Par Hawaii Refining onto the ABL facility as part of a plan to replace its remaining Hawaii intermediation arrangement.
Par Pacific wound down and fully terminated U.S. Oil & Refining's long-running Merrill Lynch Commodities intermediation arrangement (in place since 2016 and extended more than two dozen times), bringing USOR directly onto the company's own asset-based credit facility instead -- which was simultaneously expanded to $900 million. This closes out years of routine third-party intermediation financing that the company had outgrown.
Par Hawaii Refining set up a new uncommitted letter-of-credit facility (up to $120 million, expandable to $350 million) with MUFG and Macquarie to help finance crude purchases, including support for bidding on Strategic Petroleum Reserve releases.
Par Hawaii's J. Aron supply agreement switched its interest-rate benchmark from LIBOR to SOFR, completing the transition started elsewhere in the capital structure.

Par Pacific closed the Billings, Montana refinery acquisition from ExxonMobil for roughly $638 million all-in (base price, inventory and working-capital adjustments), funded by cash on hand plus a $215 million draw on the new Billings Incremental Facility -- giving the company a third refinery.
Par Pacific replaced its revolver with a new Asset-Based Revolving Credit Agreement led by Wells Fargo: a $150 million initial facility plus up to $450 million more (a "Billings Incremental Facility") specifically earmarked to help fund the pending ExxonMobil Montana refinery purchase.
Par Pacific refinanced with a new $550 million Wells Fargo-led term loan (maturing 2030), using the proceeds to retire its existing term loan and repurchase both its 2025 and 2026 senior secured notes -- including the expensive 12.875% pandemic-era notes -- meaningfully simplifying and lowering the cost of its debt stack.
Par Pacific agreed to buy ExxonMobil's Billings, Montana refinery (63,000 bpd, high-conversion/complex) plus associated logistics and a cogeneration plant for a base price of $310 million (before inventory and working-capital adjustments) -- a major expansion into a third refining region alongside Hawaii and the Pacific Northwest.
U.S. Oil & Refining's Merrill Lynch Commodities intermediation arrangement switched its benchmark rate from LIBOR to SOFR, part of the industry-wide LIBOR phase-out.
A technical amendment to the J. Aron supply agreement raised the share of eligible receivables that can come from Hawaiian Electric-affiliated customers, from 40% to 50%.
The discretionary draw facility under Par Hawaii's J. Aron supply agreement was increased from $165 million to $215 million, with a higher hydrocarbon-inventory borrowing base -- more working-capital capacity amid strong 2022 refining margins.
Par Pacific replaced its asset-based revolver with a new $105 million facility (up from $85 million) with Bank of America, maturing 2025, plus a $50 million accordion option.
U.S. Oil & Refining's Merrill Lynch Commodities intermediation arrangement was extended again, to December 2022 (with an automatic bump to March 2023).
Par Hawaii signed a Second Amended and Restated Supply and Offtake Agreement with J. Aron, extending the Hawaii refinery's crude supply/product offtake arrangement to May 2024 and adding a new discretionary draw facility of up to $165 million -- a multi-year renewal of one of the company's most important financing relationships.
Par Pacific's supply and offtake agreement with J. Aron for the Hawaii refinery got a short one-month extension to June 2021, bridging to a bigger renewal.
Par Pacific raised about $75.7 million in a public stock offering (5 million shares) to pay down debt and fund general corporate needs -- a deleveraging move as the post-pandemic recovery took hold.
The sale-leaseback closed on 21 of the 22 properties for about $109.4 million, with roughly $51.7 million of proceeds used to pay off the Bank of Hawaii mortgage on those properties; the last property was expected to close separately shortly after.
