NOTE 3 REVOLVING LINE OF CREDIT In July 2014, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement with SunTrust Bank, as lender, issuing bank and administrative agent for several banks and other financial institutions and lenders (“Administrative Agent”) (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility provides for a senior secured revolving credit facility with a maximum borrowing amount of $150 million. The Credit Facility matures on July 1, 2019, and is secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets. The initial borrowing base under the Credit Facility is $40 million (the “Borrowing Base”). The Borrowing Base is subject to periodic redeterminations, mandatory reductions and further adjustments from time to time. The Borrowing Base will be redetermined (i) quarterly on each January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1, beginning October 1, 2014 through October 1, 2015, and (ii) semi-annually on each October 1 and April 1 beginning on April 1, 2016. In addition, the Company may elect to cause the Borrowing Base to be redetermined one time during each of the following periods (i) between the October 1, 2014 and April 1, 2015 redeterminations, (ii) between the April 1, 2015 and October 1, 2015 redeterminations and (iii) starting with the October 1, 2015 redetermination, during any six month period between redeterminations. The Borrowing Base will also be reduced in certain circumstances such as the sale or disposition of certain oil and gas properties of the Company or its subsidiaries and cancellation of certain hedging positions. The Credit Facility allows for Eurodollar Loans and Base Rate Loans (each as defined in the Credit Facility). The interest rate on each Eurodollar Loan will be the adjusted LIBOR for the applicable interest period plus a margin between 1.75% and 5.00% (depending on the then-current level of borrowing base usage). The annual interest rate on each Base Rate Loan is (a) the greatest of (i) the Administrative Agent’s prime lending rate, (ii) the federal funds rate plus 0.5% per annum or the (iii) adjusted LIBOR determined on a daily basis for an interest period of one-month, plus 1.00% per annum, plus (b) a margin between 2.75% and 6.00% (depending on the then-current level of borrowing base usage). The Credit Facility contains certain covenants, which, among other things, require the maintenance of (i) a total leverage ratio of not more than 4.0 to 1.0 and (ii) a minimum current ratio of 1.0 to 1.0. The Credit Facility also contains other customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default. As of March 31, 2015, the Company was in compliance with all covenants.
As of March 31, 2015, $10,000,000 was outstanding on our Credit Facility. |
