Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

As previously reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K, on February 18, 2026, Genesis Energy, L.P. (“Genesis”), Genesis Energy Finance Corporation (together with Genesis, the “Issuers”) and certain subsidiary guarantors of Genesis entered into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with BofA Securities, Inc., as representative of the group of underwriters named in the Underwriting Agreement, pursuant to which the Issuers agreed to sell $750 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.750% senior notes due 2034 (the “Notes”), guaranteed by certain subsidiary guarantors of Genesis (the “Guarantees” and, together with the Notes, the “Securities”). Genesis intends to use the net proceeds from the offering (i) to purchase or redeem any and all of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of our 7.75% senior notes due 2028 (the “2028 Notes”) and (ii) for general partnership purposes, including repaying a portion of the revolving borrowings outstanding under our senior secured credit facility. The offering closed on March 4, 2026.

The terms of the Securities are governed by an Indenture (the “Base Indenture”) among the Issuers, the subsidiary guarantors party thereto, and the Trustee (as defined below), dated as of May 21, 2015, as supplemented by the Twenty-Fourth Supplemental Indenture thereto (the “Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), dated as of March 4, 2026, among the Issuers, the subsidiary guarantors party thereto, and Regions Bank, as trustee (together with, as to any time prior to September 30, 2020, U.S. Bank National Association, as predecessor trustee, each, in such capacity, the “Trustee”). The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Issuers and rank equal in right of payment with all of Genesis’ other existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness, including the 2028 Notes, $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Issuers’ 8.250% senior notes due 2029, $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Issuers’ 8.875% senior notes due 2030, $700.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Issuers’ 7.875% senior notes due 2032 and $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Issuers’ 8.000% senior notes due 2033. The Guarantees are senior unsecured obligations of the subsidiary guarantors and rank equal in right of payment with the existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness of the subsidiary guarantors. Interest on the Notes will accrue at a rate of 6.750% per year and is payable on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning on September 15, 2026. The Notes will mature on May 15, 2034. The terms of the Notes are further described in the Prospectus Supplement dated February 18, 2026, relating to the Securities, filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
