Hess and Global Infrastructure Partners will create a premier midstream joint venture – Hess Infrastructure Partners. Upon closing, the joint venture will incur $600 million of debt through a 5-year Term Loan A facility with proceeds distributed equally to both partners, resulting in total after-tax cash proceeds, net to Hess, of $3.0 billion. In addition the joint venture will have independent access to capital including a $400 million 5-year Senior Revolving Credit Facility, which is fully committed.
