Revolving Credit Agreement
On October 28, 2016, the Company and its subsidiary Parsley LLC entered into five-year revolving credit agreement with, among others, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent (the “Revolving Credit Agreement”)
As of December 31, 2019, the Revolving Credit Agreement, as amended to date, provides a borrowing capacity equal to the lesser of (i) the borrowing base (which currently stands at $2.7 billion), (ii) the aggregate elected borrowing base commitments (which currently stand at $1.0 billion) and (iii) $5.0 billion. The Revolving Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all of Parsley LLC’s and its restricted subsidiaries’ assets.
There were no borrowings outstanding and $6.7 million in letters of credit outstanding under the Revolving Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2019, resulting in availability of approximately $993.3 million. Pro forma for the Jagged Peak Acquisition (as defined below), the 2028 Notes Offering (as defined below) and the 2024 Notes Redemption (as defined below), however, there were $365.7 million of borrowings outstanding with a weighted average interest rate of 3.13%. In connection with the completion of the Jagged Peak Acquisition, the Company repaid Jagged Peak’s credit facility. The amount Parsley LLC is able to borrow under the Revolving Credit Agreement is subject to compliance with the financial covenants, satisfaction of various conditions precedent to borrowing and other provisions of the Revolving Credit Agreement.
Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement can be made in Eurodollars or at the alternate base rate. Eurodollar loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to an adjusted LIBO rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.25% to 2.25%, depending on the percentage of the borrowing base utilized. Alternate base rate loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the greater of (i) the prime rate of Wells Fargo, (ii) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.5% and (iii) the adjusted LIBO rate plus 1.0%, plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.25% to 1.25%, depending on the percentage of the borrowing base utilized. The Revolving Credit Agreement also provides for a commitment fee ranging from 0.375% to 0.500%, depending on the percentage of the borrowing base utilized. As of December 31, 2019, letters of credit outstanding under the Revolving Credit Agreement had a weighted average interest rate of 1.50%. The Company may repay any amounts borrowed prior to the maturity date without any premium or penalty other than customary LIBOR breakage costs.

Parsley LLC is subject to various financial covenants under the Revolving Credit Agreement, which include, for example, the maintenance of the following financial ratios:
a minimum current ratio (based on the ratio of consolidated current assets to consolidated current liabilities) of not less than 1.0 to 1.0 as of the last day of any fiscal quarter; and
a maximum consolidated leverage ratio of not more than 4.0 to 1.0 as of the last day of any fiscal quarter for the four fiscal quarters ending on such date.
The Revolving Credit Agreement places restrictions on Parsley LLC and certain of its subsidiaries with respect to, for example, additional indebtedness, liens, dividends and other payments, investments, acquisitions, mergers, asset dispositions, transactions with affiliates, hedging transactions and other matters. The Revolving Credit Agreement also places customary “holding company” restrictions on the activities of the Company. In addition, the Revolving Credit Agreement is subject to customary events of default, including a change in control. If an event of default occurs and is continuing, the administrative agent or the Majority Lenders (as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement) may accelerate any amounts outstanding and terminate lender commitments.

The Initial 2024 Notes Offering resulted in net proceeds to the Company, after deducting initial purchaser discounts and commissions and offering expenses, of approximately $195.4 million.
On August 19, 2016, the Issuers issued an additional $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.250% senior notes due 2024 (the “New 2024 Notes” and together with the Initial 2024 Notes, the “2024 Notes”) at 102.000% of par, plus accrued and unpaid interest from May 27, 2016, in an offering that was exempt from registration under the Securities Act (the “New 2024 Notes Offering”).

Prior to June 1, 2019, the Issuers may, on any one or more occasions, redeem all or a part of the 2024 Notes for cash at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2024 Notes redeemed, plus a “make-whole” premium as of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption.
