Bank Debt:
On February 15, 2017, the Company and its lenders entered into a Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “2017 Credit Agreement”) with a maturity date of February 15, 2021. Under the 2017 Credit Agreement, the Company has a revolving line of credit and letter of credit facility of up to $300 million subject to a borrowing base that is determined semi-annually by the lenders based upon the Company’s financial statements and the estimated value of the Company’s oil and gas properties, in accordance with the Lenders’ customary practices for oil and gas loans. The credit facility is secured by substantially all of the Company’s oil and gas properties. The 2017 Credit Agreement includes terms and covenants that require the Company to maintain a minimum current ratio and total indebtedness to EBITDAX (earnings before depreciation, depletion, amortization, taxes, interest expense and exploration costs) ratio, as defined, and restrictions are placed on the payment of dividends, the amount of treasury stock the Company may purchase, commodity hedge agreements, and loans and investments in its consolidated subsidiaries and limited partnerships.
On December 20, 2021 the company entered into a Seventh Amendment to the 2017 Credit Agreement and Citibank N.A was appointed as successor administrative agent replacing PNC Bank. Under this amendment the Company’s borrowing base is $50 million. Borrowings under the 2017 Credit Agreement will bear interest at alternate base rate (ABR) plus an applicable margin ranging from 2.00% to 3.00% or at the Company’s option, at a rate equal to the secured overnight financing rate (SOFR rate) as administered by the SOFR Administrator, in this case the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, plus an applicable margin ranging from 3.00% to 4.00%. The 2017 Credit Agreement matures February 11, 2023. The current borrowing base review and maturity extension was completed on July 5, 2022. The Company’s borrowings under this credit facility approximates fair value because the interest rates are variable and reflective of market rates.
