Celanese enters $1.75 billion five-year revolving credit facility, replacing 2022 facility
Celanese and its subsidiary Celanese US Holdings signed a five-year, $1.75 billion unsecured revolving credit facility on August 11, 2025, replacing the company's 2022 revolving facility, which was terminated the same day. The company also amended its term loan credit agreement, adding a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio covenant and limits on dividend increases until a target leverage ratio is reached. The filing does not state any amount drawn under the new facility, so the effect on shareholders depends on future borrowing and covenant compliance.
Key points
- Five-year, $1.75 billion unsecured revolving credit facility, including a $250 million letters of credit sublimit
- Interest margin of 1.00% to 2.00% over benchmark rates and commitment fee of 0.09% to 0.35% on undrawn amounts, both tied to senior unsecured debt ratings
- Covenants include a leverage ratio, a fixed charge coverage ratio and limits on dividend increases until a specified target ratio is met
- Sixth Amendment to the Term Loan Credit Agreement, dated August 11, 2025, adds a minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio covenant
