On June 17, 2020, Ring Energy, Inc. (the “Company”), as borrower, entered into a second amendment (the “Amendment”) to its amended and restated credit agreement dated April 9, 2019 (“Credit Facility”) with Truist Bank, successor by merger to SunTrust Bank, as lender, issuing bank and administrative agent for several banks and other financial institutions and lenders thereto. The Amendment reduces the Company’s borrowing base under the Credit Facility from $425.0 million to $375.0 million and, to the extent there is a Borrowing Base Deficiency, provides for the payment of such deficiency in five equal installments, each equal to one-fifth of such Borrowing Base Deficiency, the first of which is due on the thirtieth day following the Amendment Effective Date (as defined in the Amendment). As of May 31, 2020, the Company had approximately $388 million outstanding on the Credit Facility; however, through the use of hedge revenue and surplus capital, the Company has reduced the current outstanding balance to $375 million.

Additionally, the Amendment, among other things, (i) requires a mandatory prepayment of borrowings to the extent the Consolidated Cash Balance (as defined in the Amendment) exceeds $20.0 million, which such Consolidated Cash Balance excludes certain amounts relating to the Company’s payroll and benefits, working interest and royalty payments to third parties, escrow and indemnity holdback obligations in connection with purchase and sale agreements, and equity contributions and issuances of capital stock by the Company; (ii) restricts the Company from making borrowings under the Credit Facility if the Company has or, after giving effect to the borrowing, will have a Consolidated Cash Balance in excess of $20.0 million; (iii) amends the Leverage Ratio covenant to not greater than 4.75 to 1.0 as of the last day of the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2020; (iv) increases the required mortgage coverage on the total value of the oil and gas properties included in the Company’s most recent reserve report from 80% to 90%; and (v) increases the margin and commitment fee on loans.

As previously announced, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement to sell its Delaware Basin assets located in Culberson and Reeves Counties, Texas. The Amendment permits the sale of the Company’s Delaware Basin assets, provided that certain conditions are met upon commencement of the sale (including, among other conditions, an automatic reduction in the borrowing base by $20.0 million and the prepayment of the principal amount of $20.0 million). The Company projects the sale to close on or before the end of July.
