Debt
Credit Agreements
On April 3, 2025, we terminated our $1.65 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility maturing in April 2026 (the “Terminated HF Sinclair Credit Agreement”) and the $1.2 billion senior secured revolving credit facility maturing in July 2025 of our wholly owned subsidiary HEP (the “Terminated HEP Credit Agreement”). Contemporaneously, we entered into a new $2.0 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility maturing in April 2030 (the “HF Sinclair Credit Agreement”), which contains an extension feature that allows us to extend the term of the commitment from time to time in increments of up to one year subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the HF Sinclair Credit Agreement. The HF Sinclair Credit Agreement includes an accordion feature that allows us to increase such commitments to an aggregate principal amount of up to $2.75 billion. In addition, HF Sinclair was released from its obligations under the Parent Guaranty Agreement, dated as of December 1, 2023, as guarantor, in favor of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, in its capacity as administrative agent (the “Guaranty”), and the Guaranty was terminated. We did not pay any prepayment penalties in connection with the termination of the Terminated HF Sinclair Credit Agreement or the Terminated HEP Credit Agreement. We recognized an early extinguishment loss of $1 million, inclusive of unamortized debt issuance costs.
Indebtedness under the HF Sinclair Credit Agreement bears interest, at our option, at either (a) the greater of (i) the prime rate (as publicly announced from time to time by the administrative agent), (ii) a base rate equal to the highest of the Federal Funds Effective Rate (as defined in the HF Sinclair Credit Agreement) plus 0.5%, and (iii) Spread Adjusted Term SOFR (as defined in the HF Sinclair Credit Agreement) for a one-month interest period plus 1%, as applicable, plus an applicable margin (ranging from 0.125% to 1.000%), or (b) at a rate equal to the Spread Adjusted Term SOFR (as defined in the HF Sinclair Credit Agreement) for the applicable interest period plus an applicable margin (ranging from 1.125% to 2.000%). The applicable margin is based on HF Sinclair’s debt rating assigned by Standard & Poor’s Rating Services, Fitch Ratings, Ltd. and Moody’s Investors Service, Inc.
As of December 31, 2025, we were in compliance with all covenants and had no outstanding borrowings or letters of credit under the HF Sinclair Credit Agreement.

Senior Notes
Our unsecured senior notes and unsubordinated obligations rank equally with all future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness.
We may, from time to time, seek to retire some or all of our outstanding debt agreements through cash purchases, and/or exchanges, open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, tender offers or otherwise. Such transactions, if any, may be material and depends on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements and other factors.
HF Sinclair Financing Arrangements
Certain of our wholly owned subsidiaries entered into financing arrangements whereby such subsidiaries sold a portion of their precious metals catalyst to a financial institution in exchange for cash and then financed the use of the precious metals catalyst for a term not to exceed one year. During the year ended December 31, 2025, we received proceeds of $30 million and made principal payments of $6 million related to such arrangements. The volume of the precious metals catalyst and the interest rate are fixed over the term of each agreement, and the payments are recorded as Interest expense. Upon maturity of the financing arrangements, we must either extend the maturity or satisfy the obligation at fair market value, which is considered an embedded derivative as discussed in Note 14. These financing arrangements are measured at fair value and are included in Accrued liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. See Note 6 for additional information.
Certain inventory buy/sell arrangements in which we have a repurchase obligation are recognized as financing arrangements. During the year ended December 31, 2025, we received cash proceeds and made principal payments of $103 million related to these financing arrangements.
We may, from time to time, issue letters of credit pursuant to uncommitted letters of credit facilities, which are unrelated to the HF Sinclair Credit Agreement. At December 31, 2025, we had letters of credit totaling a nominal amount under such credit facilities.
