Blackstone Holdings Finance Co. L.L.C., and Blackstone Holdings AI L.P., Blackstone Holdings I L.P., Blackstone Holdings II L.P., Blackstone Holdings III L.P. and Blackstone Holdings IV L.P., as guarantors (collectively, the “Guarantors”), entered into an amended and restated $2.25 billion revolving credit facility (the “New Credit Facility”) with Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto.

The New Credit Facility amends and restates the existing revolving credit facility entered into on March 23, 2010, as amended on each of April 8, 2011 and July 13, 2012, as amended and restated on May 29, 2014, as amended and restated on August 31, 2016 and as further amended and restated as of September 21, 2018 (the “Existing Credit Facility”). Blackstone Holdings Finance Co. L.L.C. and the Guarantors are indirect subsidiaries of The Blackstone Group Inc.

The New Credit Facility, among other things, (1) extends the maturity date of the revolving credit facility from September 21, 2023 to November 24, 2025 and (2) increases the aggregate required minimum amount of fee generating assets under management from $150.0 billion to $175.0 billion.

The New Credit Facility contains customary representations, covenants and events of default applicable to the Borrower, the Guarantors and certain of their subsidiaries, which are (other than as described above) substantially similar to those under the Existing Credit Facility. Financial covenants consist of a maximum net leverage ratio and a requirement to keep a minimum amount of fee generating assets under management, each tested quarterly. The New Credit Facility is unsecured.
