Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility
The Company is party to a senior secured revolving credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association as the administrative agent. The revolving credit facility provides for a borrowing capacity up to the lesser of (i) the borrowing base (as defined in the senior credit agreement governing the revolving credit facility) and (ii) $1.0 billion. The revolving credit facility matures on July 2, 2018. The revolving credit facility is secured by substantially all of the Company’s U.S. assets and is guaranteed by all of the Company’s existing Material Domestic Subsidiaries (as defined in the credit agreement governing the revolving credit facility). As of September 30, 2014, the Company’s borrowing base was $570.0 million. The amount the Company is able to borrow with respect to the borrowing base is subject to compliance with the financial covenants and other provisions of the credit agreement governing the revolving credit facility. See “Note 11. Subsequent Events” for further discussion of the borrowing base.
The Company is subject to certain covenants under the terms of the revolving credit facility, as amended, which include the maintenance of the following financial covenants determined as of the last day of each quarter: (1) a ratio of Total Debt to EBITDA of not more than 4.00 to 1.00; and (2) a Current Ratio of not less than 1.00 to 1.00; (each of the capitalized terms used in the foregoing clauses (1) and (2) being as defined in the credit agreement governing the revolving credit facility). As of September 30, 2014, the ratio of Total Debt to EBITDA was 2.02 to 1.00 and the Current Ratio was 1.68 to 1.00. As defined in the credit agreement governing the revolving credit facility, Total Debt is net of cash and cash equivalents and the Current Ratio includes an add back of the available borrowing capacity. Because the calculation of the financial ratios are made as of a certain date, the financial ratios can fluctuate significantly period to period as the amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility are dependent on the timing of cash flows from operations, capital expenditures, sales of oil and gas properties and securities offerings.
As of September 30, 2014, the Company had $119.0 million of borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit facility with a weighted average interest rate of 2.01%. As of September 30, 2014, the Company also had $0.6 million in letters of credit outstanding which reduced the amounts available under the revolving credit facility. The amount available for borrowing with respect to the borrowing base is subject to compliance with the financial covenants and other provisions of the credit agreement governing the revolving credit facility. The revolving credit facility is generally used to fund ongoing working capital needs and the Company’s capital expenditure plan to the extent such amounts exceed cash flows from operations, proceeds from the sale of oil and gas properties and securities offerings.
