New York, Sept. 9 - Ferrellgas LP has entered into agreements with several banks and other financial institutions for a new $400 million three-year revolving credit facility, according to an 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Wednesday.

Pricing on the revolver can range from Libor plus 350 basis points to 425 bps and there is a 50 bps commitment fee.

Financial covenants include consolidated funded senior secured debt to consolidated EBITDA of 2.50 to 1.00, consolidated EBITDA to consolidated interest charges of 2.50 to 1.00, and consolidated funded debt to consolidated EBITDA of 5.00 to 1.00.

Proceeds will be used to replace the company's existing senior unsecured credit facility.
