​ ​ ​ ​ Issuance of 10.75% Senior Second Lien Notes due 2029 On January 28, 2025, the Company issued and sold $350.0 million in aggregate principal amounts of its 10.75% Senior Second Lien Notes (the “10.75% Notes”), which are governed under an indenture dated January 28, 2025 (the “Indenture”). The 10.75% Notes mature on February 1, 2029 and interest is payable on each February 1 and August 1, commencing August 1, 2025. The 10.75% Notes are guaranteed by the Company’s direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries (the “Guarantors”). The 10.75% Notes are secured by second priority liens (subject to permitted liens and certain other exceptions) on substantially all of the oil and natural gas properties of the Company and the Guarantors. Prior to February 1, 2027, the Company may redeem all or any portion of the 10.75% Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the outstanding 10.75% Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date plus the Applicable Premium (as defined in the Indenture). In addition, prior to February 1, 2027, the Company may, at its option, on one or more occasions, redeem up to 35% of the aggregate original principal amount of the 10.75% Notes in an amount not greater than the net cash proceeds from certain equity offerings at a redemption price of 110.75% of the principal amount of the outstanding 10.75% Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. From February 1, 2027 to (and including) January 31, 2028, the Company may redeem the 10.75% Notes in whole or in part, at redemption prices (expressed as percentages of the principal amount thereof) equal to 105.375% and 100.000% from February 1, 2028 and thereafter, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date. The Indenture includes a number of covenants that, among other things, limit the Company’s ability and the ability of its Restricted Subsidiaries (as defined in the Indenture), including the Guarantors, to (i) make investments; (ii) incur additional indebtedness or issue certain types of preferred stock; (iii) create certain liens; (iv) sell assets; (v) enter into agreements that restrict dividends or other payments from the Company’s subsidiaries to the Company; (vi) consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; (vii) engage in transactions with affiliates; (viii) pay dividends or make other distributions on capital stock or subordinated indebtedness; and (ix) create subsidiaries that would not be restricted by the covenants of the Indenture. These covenants are subject to important exceptions and qualifications set forth in the Indenture. In addition, most of the above-described covenants will terminate if both S&P Global Ratings, a division of S&P Global Inc., and Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. assign the Notes an investment grade rating and no default exists with respect to the Notes. The Indenture provides for customary events of default, which include (subject in certain cases to customary grace and cure periods) nonpayment of principal or interest; breach of other agreements in the Indenture; failure to pay certain other indebtedness; the failure to pay certain final judgments against the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries; the failure of certain guarantees to be enforceable; and certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency. The Company used the net proceeds from the issuance of the 10.75% Notes, along with cash on hand, to (i) purchase for cash pursuant to a tender offer (the “Tender Offer”), such of the Company’s 11.75% Senior Second Lien Notes due 2026 (the “11.75% Notes”) that were validly tendered pursuant to the terms thereof; (ii) repay the $114.2 million of outstanding amounts under the credit agreement of certain of the Company’s indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries (the “Term Loan”); (iii) fund the full redemption amount for an August 1, 2025 redemption of the remaining 11.75% Notes not validly tendered and accepted for purchase in the Tender Offer; and (iv) pay any premiums, fees and expenses relating to these transactions. Redemption of the 11.75% Notes On January 13, 2025, the Company commenced the Tender Offer for any and all of the Company’s outstanding 11.75% Notes. On January 28, 2025, the Company accepted and purchased $269.7 million aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 11.75% Notes for a purchase price equal to $1,036.25 for each $1,000 principal amount of the Notes purchased. An additional $89,000 of Notes were tendered on February 12, 2025. The Company purchased these Notes for $89,905 plus accrued interest. After giving effect to this purchase, an aggregate $5.2 million principal amount of the 11.75% Notes remained outstanding. The Company then effected a legal defeasance of the 11.75% Notes by purchasing $5.9 million of government securities and depositing these government securities with the trustee. The government securities are expected to generate sufficient cash upon maturity to effect the optional redemption on August 1, 2025 of the remaining $5.2 million of outstanding principal plus interest. Upon the deposit of the government securities with the trustee, the Company caused the satisfaction and discharge of the indenture governing the 11.75% Notes. The trustee acknowledged such discharge and satisfaction. As a result, the Company and the Guarantors of the 11.75% Notes have been released from their remaining obligations under the indenture governing the 11.75% Notes. These transactions were accounted for as an extinguishment and the Company recognized a loss of $15.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025. Credit Facility On January 28, 2025, in conjunction with the issuance of the 10.75% Notes, the Company terminated its Sixth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and entered into a new credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) which provides the Company a revolving credit and letter of credit facility (the “Credit Facility”), with initial bank lending commitments of $50.0 million with a letter of credit sublimit of $10.0 million. The Credit Facility matures on July 28, 2028. The Credit Facility is guaranteed by the Guarantors and is secured by a first-priority lien on substantially all of the natural gas and oil properties and personal property assets of the Company and the Guarantors and the Company’s ownership in certain joint venture entities. The Credit Agreement requires prepayment of all outstanding revolving loans every three months commencing on March 31, 2025, and the Company is prohibited from borrowing for a five-day period following such prepayment. To the extent the Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) exceeds 2.00 to 1.00 on the last day of any calendar month, the Company would be required to prepay the revolving loans in an amount equal to 75% of Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the Credit Agreement). If the aggregate amount outstanding under the Credit Facility exceeds the Credit Facility commitments at any time, the Company would be required to immediately upon request repay indebtedness to eliminate such excess. The Company will be required to make additional prepayments in the event of certain dispositions or casualty events, as more particularly described in the Credit Agreement. Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at a variable rate per annum which, at the Company’s option, is equal to either (a) an adjusted rate based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus an applicable margin that varies from 3.75% to 4.75% depending on the utilization of the Credit Agreement or (b) a base rate plus an applicable margin that varies from 2.75% to 3.75%, such base rate calculated based on the highest of (i) the federal funds effective rate plus ½ of 1.0%, (ii) the U.S. Prime Rate and (iii) an adjusted SOFR rate for a one-month interest period plus 1.0%. Interest is payable quarterly in arrears for Base Rate loans, at the end of the applicable interest period for Term SOFR loans (but not less frequently than quarterly) and upon the prepayment or maturity of the underlying loans. Additionally, the Company is required to pay both a quarterly commitment fee of 0.5% and a quarterly letter of credit fee in arrears in respect of unused commitments under the Credit Facility, and an annual administrative fee in the amount of $45,000, paid quarterly as set forth in the Credit Agreement. The applicable margins and letter of credit fee are calculated based upon the utilization levels of the Credit Facility as a percentage of the borrowing base then in effect and range from 3.75% to 4.75%. The Credit Agreement includes certain customary affirmative and negative covenants including, but not limited to, restrictions on the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, create liens on the Company’s property, pay dividends and make restricted payment or certain investments, in each cash subject to certain exceptions. The Credit Agreement also requires the Company to (i) maintain a ratio of consolidated current assets to consolidated current liabilities of at least 1.00 to 1.00 for each fiscal quarter; (ii) maintain a ratio of consolidated total debt to EBITDAX of no greater than 2.50x, tested on a rolling four quarter basis; and (iii) maintain a minimum PDP PV-10 (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of $100 million as of the last day of any fiscal quarter. In the event the Revolving Credit Exposure (as defined in the Credit Agreement) is greater than or equal to $20.0 million, the Company is required to enter into hedging transactions with prices, notional amounts and periods of time as applicable in the Credit Agreement. On or before January 28, 2026, the Company is required to use commercially reasonable efforts to enter into an amendment or amendment and restatement of the Credit Agreement to include a reserve-based lending construct. If the Credit Agreement is not so amended or amended and restated, the aggregate commitments of the lenders will be redetermined on a semi-annual basis on February 1 and August 1 of each year, using the reserve reports delivered on or before December 31 and June 30, respectively. The Company will be required to prepay the amount of credit exposure that exceeds the newly redetermined commitment amount. Failure to convert the Credit Facility to a reserve-based lending facility is not an event of default under the Credit Agreement. As of June 30, 2025, there were no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement and no borrowings had been incurred under the Credit Agreement during the six months ended June 30, 2025. Covenants As of June 30, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants.
