Among other changes, the Ninth Amendment modified the Credit Agreement to (i) extend the maturity date to January 23, 2031, (ii) provide for commitments of $500.0 million, subject to borrowing base limitations, (iii) revise certain covenants, representations and warranties, events of default and other terms to permit the Company or one or more of its subsidiaries to consummate one or more new inventory financing transactions, subject in each case to the Company’s satisfaction of certain customary conditions and (iv) provide for a reduction of commitments under the Credit Agreement from $500.0 million to $425.0 million if any such inventory financing transaction is consummated.
The borrowing capacity at June 30, 2026, under the revolving credit facility was approximately $500.0 million. As of June 30, 2026, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $18.3 million under the revolving credit facility and outstanding standby letters of credit of $49.9 million, leaving approximately $431.8 million of availability.

Further, the revolving credit facility contains one springing financial covenant which provides that only if the Company’s availability to borrow loans under the revolving credit facility falls below the greater of (i) 10% of the borrowing base then in effect and (ii) $35.0 million (which amount is subject to certain increases), then the Company will be required to maintain as of the end of each fiscal quarter a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of at least 1.0 to 1.0. As of June 30, 2026, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the revolving credit facility.

Senior Notes
The 2028 Notes, 2028 Mirror Issuance Notes, 2029 Secured Notes and 2031 Notes (collectively, the “Senior Notes”) are subject to certain automatic customary releases, including the sale, disposition, or transfer of capital stock or substantially all of the assets of a subsidiary guarantor, designation of a subsidiary guarantor as unrestricted in accordance with the applicable indenture, exercise of legal defeasance option or covenant defeasance option, liquidation or dissolution of the subsidiary guarantor and a subsidiary guarantor ceases to both guarantee other Partnership debt and to be an obligor under the revolving credit facility. The Partnership’s operating subsidiaries may not sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of their properties or assets to, or consolidate with or merge into, another company if such a sale would cause a default under the indentures governing the Senior Notes.
The indentures governing the Senior Notes contain covenants that, among other things, restrict the Partnership’s ability and the ability of certain of the Partnership’s subsidiaries to: (i) sell assets; (ii) pay distributions on, redeem or repurchase the Partnership’s equity or redeem or repurchase its subordinated debt; (iii) make investments; (iv) incur or guarantee additional indebtedness or issue preferred equity; (v) create or incur certain liens; (vi) enter into agreements that restrict distributions or other payments from the Partnership’s restricted subsidiaries to the Partnership; (vii) consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of the Partnership’s assets; (viii) engage in transactions with affiliates; and (ix) create unrestricted subsidiaries. These covenants are subject to important exceptions and qualifications. At any time when the Senior Notes are rated investment grade by either Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) or S&P Global Ratings (“S&P”) and no Default or Event of Default, each as defined in the indentures governing the Senior Notes, has occurred and is continuing, many of these covenants will be suspended. As of June 30, 2026, the Company and the Issuers were in compliance with all covenants under the indentures governing the Senior Notes.
U.S. Department of Energy Facility
On January 10, 2025, MRL and the U.S. Department of Energy (the “DOE”), as guarantor and loan servicer, executed a Loan Guarantee Agreement (the “DOE Loan”) for a $1.44 billion guaranteed loan facility to fund the construction and expansion of the renewable fuels facility owned by MRL. The loan guarantee is structured in two tranches, with the first tranche of approximately $781.8 million disbursed on February 18, 2025 (the “Funding Date”) to fund eligible expenses previously incurred by MRL. MRL has the ability to draw additional tranches of up to approximately $658.0 million through a delayed draw construction facility. Borrowings under the DOE Loan are obligations of our unrestricted subsidiaries MRL and MRHL solely, and are non-recourse to the Company and its restricted subsidiaries. As of June 30, 2026, the Company has capitalized $53.4 million of accrued interest into the principal balance of the DOE loan in accordance with the terms of the agreement which allows capitalization of up to $232.8 million of interest. Interest expense is calculated based on the total principal balance including any capitalized interest.
In connection with the funding of the first tranche under the DOE Loan, MRL terminated (i) the MRL Asset Financing Arrangements, (ii) the MRL Term Loan Credit Agreement, (iii) the MRL Revolving Credit Agreement and (iv) the MRL Supply and Offtake Agreement.
On the Funding Date, the Company used a portion of the proceeds from the first tranche of the DOE Loan to repurchase all of the equipment associated with the MRL Asset Financing Arrangements; repay the MRL Term Loan Credit Agreement; repay the MRL Revolving Credit Agreement; and repay the MRL Supply and Offtake Agreement.
Separately, the Company received $40.0 million of cash from Stonebriar Commercial Finance LLC (“Stonebriar”) on the Funding Date in satisfaction of the remaining conditions associated with the Montana Refinery Asset Financing Arrangement.
Montana Refinery Asset Financing Arrangement
On September 30, 2024, Calumet Montana Refining, LLC (“Calumet Montana”), a subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Master Lease Agreement (together with Equipment Schedule No. 1 thereto) with Stonebriar related to a sale and leaseback transaction (the “Montana Refinery Asset Financing Arrangement”). Pursuant to the Montana Refinery Asset Financing Arrangement, Calumet Montana sold to and leased back from Stonebriar certain equipment comprising the specialty asphalt refinery located in Great Falls, Montana (the “Refinery Assets”), for a total purchase price of $150.0 million. Calumet Montana received $110.0 million of the total purchase price on September 30, 2024 and the remaining purchase price of $40.0 million on February 18, 2025 in connection with the funding of the first tranche of approximately $782 million under the DOE Facility.
The arrangement did not qualify as a sale in accordance with ASC 842 because control of the assets did not transfer to the buyer-lessor, as such the Company has recorded the Montana Refinery Asset Financing Arrangement as a financial liability in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
MRL Asset Financing Arrangements
In connection with the funding of the first tranche under the DOE Facility, MRL terminated the MRL Asset Financing Arrangements and the Company recorded debt extinguishment costs of approximately $34.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Master Derivative Contracts
The Company’s payment obligations under all of the Company’s master derivatives contracts for commodity hedging generally are secured by a first priority lien on the Company’s real property, plant and equipment, fixtures, intellectual property, certain financial assets, certain investment property, commercial tort claims, chattel paper, documents, instruments and proceeds of the foregoing (including proceeds of hedge arrangements). The Company had no additional letters of credit or cash margin posted with any hedging counterparty as of June 30, 2026. The Company’s master derivatives contracts and Collateral Trust Agreement (as defined below) continue to impose a number of covenant limitations on the Company’s operating and financing activities, including limitations on liens on collateral, limitations on dispositions of collateral and collateral maintenance and insurance requirements.
Collateral Trust Agreement
The Company has a collateral trust agreement (the “Collateral Trust Agreement”) which governs how various secured Company creditors, including secured hedging counterparties, our creditor on a forward purchase contract for physical commodities, and holders of our 2029 Secured Notes share collateral pledged as security for the payment of respective payment obligations to them. The Collateral Trust Agreement limits to $150.0 million the extent to which forward purchase contracts for physical commodities are covered by, and secured under, the Collateral Trust Agreement and the Parity Lien Security Documents (as defined in the Collateral Trust Agreement). There is no such limit on financially settled derivative instruments used for commodity hedging. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the Collateral Trust Agreement, the Company has the ability to add secured parties from time to time.
Standby Letters of Credit
The Company has agreements with various financial institutions for standby letters of credit and other reserves. The standby letters of credit have been issued primarily to vendors. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had outstanding standby letters of credit of $49.9 million and $75.2 million, respectively, under its senior secured revolving credit facility .
