In connection with the Jones Contribution, the Company completed a series of refinancing transactions to retire all of its then-outstanding senior secured and unsecured notes.  On August 3, 2018, the Company issued $850.0 million of new senior notes for proceeds of $815.9 million.  Interest on the notes is payable on February 15 and August 15 at an annual rate of 9¾% and the notes mature on  August 15, 2026.  

On August 14, 2018, the Company entered into a new bank credit facility with Bank of Montreal, as administrative agent, and the participating banks which matures on August 14, 2023.  The bank credit facility is subject to a borrowing base of $700.0 million which is re-determined on a semi-annual basis and upon the occurrence of certain other events. As of March 31, 2019, there were $470.0 million of borrowings outstanding under the bank credit facility. Borrowings under the bank credit facility are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries and bear interest at the Company's option, at either LIBOR plus     2.0% to 3.0% or a base rate plus 1.0% to 2.0%, in each case depending on the utilization of the borrowing base. The Company also pays a commitment fee of 0.375% to 0.5% on the unused borrowing base. The bank credit facility places certain restrictions upon the Company's and its restricted subsidiaries' ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, pay cash dividends, repurchase common stock, make certain loans, investments and divestitures and redeem the senior notes. The only financial covenants are the maintenance of a leverage ratio of less than 4.0 to 1.0 and a current ratio of at least 1.0 to 1.0.  The Company was in compliance with the covenants as of March 31, 2019.
