Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On April 4, 2013, Bonanza Creek Energy, Inc. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (the “Guarantors”) entered into a purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) under which the Company agreed to sell $300 million aggregate principal amount of its 6 3/4% Senior Notes due 2021 (the “Notes”) to the initial purchasers named therein (the “Initial Purchasers”), in accordance with exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) afforded by Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act. The aggregate principal amount of the Notes was upsized from the previously announced $250 million aggregate principal amount. The Notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by existing and future subsidiaries of the Company that incur or guarantee certain indebtedness, including the Company’s revolving credit facility. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering to repay all outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility and for general corporate purposes, which may include funding its drilling and development program and capital expenditures. The Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state laws.

 

The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties of the parties and indemnification and contribution provisions whereby the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other, have agreed to indemnify each other against certain liabilities. Closing is scheduled to occur on April 9, 2013, subject to customary closing conditions.

 

A copy of the Purchase Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference. The description of the Purchase Agreement in this report is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the Purchase Agreement.
