it has completed a public offering (the "Notes Offering") of $400.0
million aggregate principal amount of its 4.40 percent senior notes due
2024. The notes were issued on September 22, 2017 at a public offering
price of 99.809 percent, and bear interest at 4.40 percent. The interest
rate is subject to adjustment should the notes S&P rating fall below
BBB-. The first interest payment for the notes will be March 22, 2018.
The notes mature on September 22, 2024. The net proceeds of the Notes
Offering were approximately $394.7 million after deducting underwriting
discounts and estimated offering expenses.

Fargo Securities, LLC were the joint book-running managers for the Notes
Offering.
Magellan also announced a new senior unsecured credit agreement (the
"2017 Credit Agreement") with The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd. as
administrative agent. The 2017 Credit Agreement will provide a $400.0
million senior unsecured revolving credit facility, and a $350.0 million
senior unsecured five year term loan. Magellan has the option to borrow
in base rate loans or Eurodollar rate loans at its discretion. The
borrowing margin is subject to adjustment based on Magellan's debt
rating as provided by certain rating agencies. Magellan has no immediate
plans to draw against the revolver.
Chief Financial Officer Jonathan Rubin said, "We are pleased with the
execution of our new capital structure, which we believe will provide us
with a good mix of fixed and variable rate debt, as well as the
flexibility to meet our near term financing commitments and cash flow
needs." Magellan used the combined net proceeds of the Notes Offering
and the term loan for working capital and general corporate purposes,
and the termination and repayment of its obligations under its existing
credit facilities expiring on July 23, 2019 and December 29, 2017.
