Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Overview

On June 30, 2022, certain subsidiaries of CVR Energy, Inc. ("Company"), CVR Refining, LP, CVR Refining, LLC, Wynnewood Energy Company, LLC, Wynnewood Refining Company, LLC, Coffeyville Resources Terminal, LLC, Coffeyville Resources Refining & Marketing, LLC, Coffeyville Resources Pipeline, LLC, Coffeyville Resources Crude Transportation, LLC and CVR Renewables, LLC (collectively, the "Credit Parties") entered into Amendment No. 3 to the Amended and Restated ABL Credit Agreement (the "Amendment") with a group of lenders and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the "Agent"), as administrative agent and collateral agent. The Amendment amends certain provisions of the Amended and Restated ABL Credit Agreement, dated December 20, 2012, as heretofore amended, by and among the Agent, the group of lenders party thereto and the Credit Parties party thereto (as amended by the Amendment, the "Amended and Restated ABL Credit Facility"), which was otherwise scheduled to mature in November 2022.

The Amended and Restated ABL Credit Facility is a senior secured asset based revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $275 million with an incremental facility, which permits an increase in borrowings of up to $125 million in the aggregate subject to additional lender commitments and certain other conditions. The proceeds of the loans may be used for capital expenditures and working capital and general corporate purposes of the Credit Parties and their subsidiaries. The Amended and Restated ABL Credit Facility provides for loans and letters of credit in an amount up to the aggregate availability under the facility, subject to meeting certain borrowing base conditions, with sub-limits of $30 million for swingline loans and $60 million (or $100 million if increased by the Agent) for letters of credit. Under the Amended and Restated ABL Credit Facility, the borrowing base at any time equals the sum of (without duplication):

•85% of eligible accounts from non-investment grade debtors and 90% of eligible accounts from investment grade debtors, plus

•95% of accounts in support of which an irrevocable standby letter of credit has been delivered to the Agent, plus

•85% of eligible unbilled accounts, plus

•80% of eligible refinery hydrocarbon inventory and eligible renewable petroleum inventory (subject to, in the case of eligible refinery hydrocarbon inventory, increase of the lesser of (i) 5% of eligible refinery hydrocarbon inventory and (ii) $10 million on the basis of a fixed charge coverage ratio test), plus

•the lesser of (i) 85% of the value, at the lower of cost or market, of eligible renewable feedstock inventory, and (ii) 85% of the book value of eligible renewable feedstock inventory, plus

•the lesser of (i) 70% of eligible renewable identification numbers and (ii) the lesser of (A) 5% of the Borrowing Base and (B) $15,000,000, plus

•the lesser of (i) 80% of the eligible exchange agreement positive balance and (ii) $10 million, plus

•80% of eligible in-transit crude oil and eligible in-transit renewable feedstock, plus

•100% of the value of paid but unexpired standby letters of credit, minus

•the aggregate amount of reserves then established.

All borrowings under the Amended and Restated ABL Credit Facility are subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions, including absence of a default and accuracy of representations and warranties.

Interest Rate and Fees

At the option of the borrowers, loans under the Amended and Restated ABL Credit Facility initially bear interest at an annual rate equal to, at any time, (i) the Base Rate (i.e., highest of the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, one-month SOFR plus 1.00% and the prime rate published by the Agent from time to time), or (ii) Term SOFR.

The borrowers must also pay a commitment fee on the unutilized commitments to the lenders under the Amended and Restated ABL Credit Facility equal to (I) 0.375% per annum for the first full calendar quarter after the closing date and (II) thereafter, (i) 0.375% per annum if utilization under the facility is less than 50% of the total commitments and (ii) 0.25% per annum if utilization under the facility is equal to or greater than 50% of the total commitments. The borrowers must also pay customary letter of credit fees equal to, for standby letters of credit, the applicable margin on SOFR loans on the maximum amount available to be drawn thereunder and, for commercial letters of credit, the applicable margin on SOFR loans less 0.50% on the

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

maximum amount available to be drawn thereunder and customary facing fees equal to 0.125% of the face amount of each commercial letter of credit.

Mandatory and Voluntary Repayments

The Credit Parties are required to repay amounts outstanding under the Amended and Restated ABL Credit Facility under specified circumstances, including with the proceeds of certain asset sales. In addition, the Credit Parties are permitted to voluntarily prepay amounts outstanding under the Amended and Restated ABL Credit Facility at any time.

Amortization and Final Maturity

There is no scheduled amortization under the Amended and Restated ABL Credit Facility. All outstanding loans under the facility are due and payable in full on June 30, 2027.

Guarantees and Security

The obligations under the Amended and Restated ABL Credit Facility and related guarantees are secured by a first priority security interest in the Credit Parties' inventory, accounts receivable and related assets, in each case subject to customary exceptions.

Restrictive Covenants and Other Matters

The Amended and Restated ABL Credit Facility requires the Credit Parties in certain circumstances to comply with a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio test, and contains other customary restrictive covenants that limit the Credit Parties' ability and the ability of their subsidiaries to, among other things, incur liens, engage in a consolidation, merger and purchase or sale of assets, pay dividends, incur indebtedness, make advances, investment and loans, enter into affiliate transactions, issue equity interests, or create subsidiaries and unrestricted subsidiaries. Additionally, the Amended and Restated ABL Credit Facility includes a mechanism pursuant to which certain newly formed subsidiaries of the Company will be joined as credit parties to the Amended and Restated ABL Credit Facility and to allow for the transfer of certain assets in connection with the Company's previously announced corporate restructuring initiative, pursuant to which the Company intends to, among other actions, segregate its renewables business.

The Amended and Restated ABL Credit Facility also contains certain customary representations and warranties, affirmative covenants and events of default.
