Note 5. Senior Secured Credit Facility

On April 11, 2016, the Company entered into a senior secured reserve-based credit facility, as amended, (the “Senior Secured Credit Facility”) with MidFirst Bank in an amount up to $50.0 million with a current borrowing base of $50.0 million. On May 5, 2023, the Company entered into the Tenth Amendment to the Senior Secured Credit Facility extending the maturity to April 9, 2026. The Tenth Amendment also replaced the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) with the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus a credit spread adjustment of 0.05% to effectively convert SOFR to a LIBOR equivalent. The borrowing base will be redetermined semiannually, with the lenders and the Company each having the right to one interim unscheduled redetermination between any two consecutive semi-annual redeterminations. The borrowing base takes into account the estimated value of the Company’s oil and natural gas properties, proved reserves, total indebtedness, and other relevant factors consistent with customary oil and natural gas lending criteria. The Senior Secured Credit Facility carries a commitment fee of 0.25% per annum on the undrawn portion of the borrowing base. Any borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facility will bear interest, at the Company’s option, at either SOFR plus 2.80%, subject to a minimum SOFR of 0.50%, or the Prime Rate, as defined under the Senior Secured Credit Facility, plus 1.00%.

​

The Company may elect, at its option, to prepay any borrowings outstanding under the Senior Secured Credit Facility without premium or penalty. Amounts outstanding under the Senior Secured Credit Facility are guaranteed by the Company’s direct and indirect subsidiaries and secured by a security interest in substantially all of the properties of the Company and its subsidiaries. Borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facility may be used for the acquisition and development of oil and natural gas properties, investments in cash flow generating properties complimentary to the production of oil and natural gas, and for letters of credit or other general corporate purposes.

The Senior Secured Credit Facility contains certain events of default, including non-payment; breaches or representation and warranties; non-compliance with covenants; cross-defaults to material indebtedness; voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy; judgments and change in control. The Senior Secured Credit Facility also contains financial covenants including a requirement that the Company maintain, as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, (i) a maximum total leverage ratio of not more than 3.00 to 1.00, (ii) a current ratio of not less than 1.00 to 1.00, and (iii) a consolidated tangible net worth of not less than $40.0 million, each as defined in the Senior Secured Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had $39.5 million borrowings outstanding under its Senior Secured Credit Facility,

resulting in $10.5 million of available borrowing capacity. For the six months ended December 31, 2024, the weighted average interest on borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facility was 7.80%. As of December 31, 2024, the Company is in compliance with all covenants under the Senior Secured Credit Facility.

The Senior Secured Credit Facility also contains hedging requirements that apply when there is 25% or more utilization of the Margined Collateral Value, as defined under the Senior Secured Credit Facility, to the extent it exceeds the borrowing base then in effect. The Required Hedging Percentage, as defined in the Eighth Amendment to the Senior Secured Credit Facility dated November 9, 2021, provides for a tiered approach for adding hedges based on the utilization of the facility. On February 12, 2024, the Company entered into an amendment to the Senior Secured Credit Facility, which required that the Company enter into hedges for the next 12-month period, and on a rolling 12-month basis thereafter, covering expected crude oil and natural gas production from proved developed reserves, calculated separately, equal to a minimum of 40% of expected crude oil production each month, or 25% of expected crude oil and natural gas production each month over that period. Thus, the Company had the option to choose whether to hedge 40% of expected crude oil production or 25% each of expected crude oil and natural gas production.

As a result of the fall borrowing base redetermination, the utilization percentage of the Senior Secured Credit Facility increased whereby the Company will be required to hedge 50% of its expected crude oil and natural gas production. During the third quarter of fiscal year 2025, the Company will either make principal repayments of approximately $7.0 million to MidFirst, reducing the borrowings outstanding to such a level that the utilization percentage of the facility drops below 50%, or enter into additional derivative contracts to hedge at least 50% of expected crude oil and natural gas production. See Note 7, “Derivatives,” for information regarding the Company’s current derivative positions.
