Item 8.01      Other Events.

 

Milagro Oil & Gas, Inc. (the “Company”) currently has indebtedness outstanding under a first lien credit agreement (the “2011 Credit Facility”), which contains customary financial and other covenants. The maximum leverage ratio, as defined, of debt balances as compared to EBITDA is required to be not greater than 4.25 to 1.0, and is expected to be 4.13 as of December 31, 2012. The maximum leverage ratio will reduce to 4.0 to 1.0 as of March 31, 2013 and all periods thereafter. The Company is currently exploring a range of alternatives to reduce its indebtedness to the extent necessary to be in compliance with the maximum leverage ratio at March 31, 2013. The Company is also considering seeking a waiver or amendment to the 2011 Credit Facility with respect to the maximum leverage ratio. The Company has engaged a financial advisor to assist with, among other things, reducing its indebtedness and seeking such waiver or amendment from its lenders.

 

Because the Company cannot provide assurances as to its ability to remain in compliance with its financial covenants, the Company expects to receive a going concern modification in the audit report from its independent registered public accounting firm for the year ended December 31, 2012. The 2011 Credit Facility provides that a going concern modification from an independent registered public accounting firm is a covenant breach. As a result of this anticipated covenant breach, all of the Company’s debt would be classified within current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2012. In addition, the lenders under the 2011 Credit Facility would have the option to accelerate the debt and initiate collateral enforcement actions, and prevent the Company from borrowing additional funds under the 2011 Credit Facility. The indenture governing the 10.500% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2016 (the “Notes”) provides that if a default occurs under the 2011 Credit Facility that results in the acceleration of such debt, the Notes would also be in default and subject to acceleration. The Company is working diligently with its lenders to resolve the situation.
