| Long-Term Debt | Debt Obligations Our debt obligations consisted of the following:
(1) As of September 30, 2025, $500 million aggregate principal amount of 6.000% senior notes due before September 30, 2026 were classified as long-term as management has the intent and ability to refinance the borrowings on a long-term basis. Recent Transactions March 2025 Senior Notes Offering and Redemption In March 2025, the Partnership issued $1.00 billion aggregate principal amount of 6.250% senior notes due 2033 in a private offering. These notes will mature on July 1, 2033 and interest is payable semi-annually on January 1 and July 1 of each year. The Partnership used the net proceeds from the private offering to repay its $600 million aggregate principal amount of 5.750% senior notes due 2025 and to repay a portion of the outstanding borrowings under its Credit Facility. September 2025 Senior Notes Offering In September 2025, the Partnership issued $1.00 billion aggregate principal amount of 5.625% senior notes due 2031 and $900 million aggregate principal amount of 5.875% senior notes due 2034 in a private offering. These notes will mature on March 15, 2031 and March 15, 2034, respectively, and interest is payable semi-annually on March 15 and September 15 of each year, commencing on March 15, 2026. The Partnership used the net proceeds from this private offering (i) on the closing date of the Parkland Acquisition to fund a portion of the cash consideration for the Parkland Acquisition and related transaction costs, with the remaining proceeds used for general corporate purposes, and (ii) prior to the closing date of the Parkland Acquisition, to temporarily reduce the borrowings outstanding under the Partnership's Credit Facility and to pay interest and fees in connection therewith. The 5.625% senior notes due 2031 and 5.875% senior notes due 2034 were originally subject to a special mandatory redemption requirement, which was eliminated upon closing of the Parkland Acquisition. Parkland Senior Note Exchange In October 2025, in connection with the Parkland Acquisition, the Partnership commenced a private offering to exchange C$1.60 billion Canadian dollar denominated notes (collectively, the “PKI CAD Notes”) and $2.60 billion U.S. dollar denominated notes (collectively, the “PKI USD Notes”). The exchange offer closed on November 4, 2025 with approximately C$1.47 billion of the PKI CAD Notes and approximately $2.58 billion of the PKI USD Notes being validly tendered and not validly withdrawn. GoZone Bonds NuStar Logistics' obligations include revenue bonds issued by the Parish of St. James, Louisiana pursuant to the Gulf Opportunity Zone Act of 2005 (the “GoZone Bonds”). As reflected in the table below, the holders of the Series 2008 and Series 2010B GoZone Bonds are required to tender their bonds at the applicable mandatory purchase date in exchange for 100% of the principal plus accrued and unpaid interest, after which these bonds may be remarketed with a new interest rate established. Each of the Series 2010 and Series 2010A GoZone Bonds is subject to redemption on or after June 1, 2030 by the Parish of St. James, at our option, in whole or in part, at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest. Interest on the GoZone Bonds is payable semi-annually on June 1 and December 1 of each year. The following table summarizes the GoZone Bonds outstanding as of September 30, 2025:
The Partnership recently completed the remarketing of $75 million principal amount of Series 2011 GoZone Bonds, which were previously repurchased on the mandatory purchase date of June 1, 2025 but were not remarketed at that time. The remarketed bonds were issued on October 1, 2025 and have a 3.70% interest rate, a mandatory purchase date of June 1, 2030, and a maturity of August 1, 2041. NuStar Logistics’ agreements with the Parish of St. James related to the GoZone Bonds contain: (i) customary restrictive covenants that limit the ability of NuStar Logistics and its subsidiaries to, among other things, create liens, enter into certain sale leaseback transactions, and engage in certain consolidations, mergers or asset sales; and (ii) a repurchase provision which provides that if we undergo a change of control that is followed by a ratings decline that occurs within 60 days of the change of control, then each holder may require the trustee, with funds provided by NuStar Logistics, to repurchase all or a portion of that holder’s GoZone Bonds at a price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount repurchased, plus any accrued and unpaid interest. The Partnership and certain of its subsidiaries are guarantors to the agreements related to the GoZone Bonds. Credit Facilities The Partnership's Credit Facility, which previously was $1.50 billion and increased to approximately $2.46 billion upon closing of the Parkland Acquisition, matures on June 17, 2030, which date may be extended in accordance with the terms of the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility can be increased from time to time upon our written request, subject to certain conditions, up to an aggregate amount of $3.50 billion. As of September 30, 2025, we had no outstanding borrowings on the Credit Facility and $47 million in standby letters of credit were outstanding. The unused availability on the Credit Facility as of September 30, 2025 was $1.45 billion. The weighted average interest rate on the total amount outstanding as of September 30, 2025 was 6.42%. The Partnership was in compliance with all financial covenants as of September 30, 2025. On May 16, 2025, the Credit Facility was amended, effective as of the Parkland Acquisition closing date, to, among other things, (i) increase the letter of credit sublimit from $100 million to $250 million, (ii) exclude Parkland and its subsidiaries from any requirement to provide a guarantee of the Obligations (as defined in the credit agreement) to the extent (x) such guarantee would not be permitted under any existing indebtedness of Parkland and its subsidiaries that remains outstanding after the Parkland Acquisition closing date or (y) such guarantee, if provided by a domestic subsidiary that is a direct or indirect subsidiary of a foreign subsidiary, could reasonably be expected to have material adverse tax consequences and (iii) permit the Partnership or any of its subsidiaries to incur (x) Parkland Acquisition bridge debt in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $2.65 billion and (y) Parkland backstop bridge debt in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $3.40 billion less reductions to such maximum amount as set forth in the credit agreement. On June 17, 2025, the Credit Facility was amended to, among other things, (i) extend the maturity date of the revolving credit facility from May 3, 2029 to June 17, 2030, (ii) increase the aggregate principal amount of the revolving loan commitments from $1.50 billion to approximately $2.46 billion, upon closing of the Parkland Acquisition, (iii) increase the swingline sublimit on and after the Parkland Acquisition closing from $100 million to $500 million, of which $250 million will be dedicated to swingline borrowings in Canadian Dollars and $250 million will be dedicated to swingline borrowings in U.S. Dollars, and (iv) add the ability to borrow revolving loans in Canadian Dollars. On August 8, 2025, the Credit Facility was amended to, among other things, provide for up to $2.00 billion of cash that has been reserved by the Partnership to fund a portion of the cash consideration for the Parkland Acquisition to be netted in calculating the Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the credit agreement) for purposes of the financial maintenance covenant. On October 3, 2025, the Credit Facility was amended to, among other things, (i) amend the maturity limitations on the incurrence of additional unsecured indebtedness by the Partnership and its subsidiaries to permit both (a) the new notes to be issued by the Partnership in connection with the previously announced private exchange offers (the “Exchange Offers”) and (b) the guaranty by the Partnership of any senior notes of Parkland that remain outstanding after giving effect to the settlement of the Exchange Offers and (ii) exclude any domestic subsidiaries that are “foreign subsidiary holding companies” or subsidiaries of “controlled foreign corporations” from an obligation to provide a guaranty under the Credit Facility. Upon the closing of the NuStar Acquisition, the commitments under NuStar’s receivables financing agreement were reduced to zero during a suspension period, for which the period end has not been determined. As of September 30, 2025, this facility had no outstanding borrowings. Fair Value of Debt The aggregate estimated fair value and carrying amount of our consolidated debt obligations as of September 30, 2025 were $9.60 billion and $9.48 billion, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, the aggregate fair value and carrying amount of our consolidated debt obligations were $7.45 billion and $7.49 billion, respectively. The fair value of our consolidated debt obligations is a Level 2 valuation based on the respective debt obligations' observable inputs for similar liabilities.
