Item 1.01. | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
Eighteenth Amendment to Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
On August 7, 2013, Magnum Hunter Resources Corporation (the “Company”) entered into an Eighteenth Amendment to Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Eighteenth Amendment”), by and among the Company, Bank of Montreal, as administrative agent, and the lenders and guarantors party thereto. The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) provides for an asset-based, senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”) maturing April 13, 2016. The Revolving Facility is governed by a semi-annual borrowing base redetermination derived from the Company's proved crude oil and natural gas reserves and, based on such redeterminations, the borrowing base can be increased or decreased up to a maximum commitment level of $750 million.
The Eighteenth Amendment amends the Credit Agreement to, among other things,
• | Implement a new total senior debt to EBITDAX covenant set at 2.00 x EBITDAX while the total debt to EBITDAX covenant is deferred as described below; |
• | defer the Company's current total debt to EBITDAX covenant for the period starting June 30, 2013 until June 30, 2014; at which time the level of debt to EBITDAX of less than 4.50 x EBITDAX will be in effect, decreasing to less than 4.25 x EBITDAX starting December 31, 2014; |
• | amend the EBITDAX to interest expense covenant to no less than 2.00 x for the quarters ended June 30, 2013 and ending September 30, 2013, increasing to 2.25 x for the quarter ending December 31, 2013 and increasing to 2.50 x starting March 31, 2014 and thereafter; |
• | allow for up to $32 million in investments in the Company's unrestricted subsidiary Eureka Hunter Holdings, LLC provided (a) the investments are made before December 31, 2013 and (b) the borrowing base has availability of at least $75.0 million at the time of such investment, provided that the Company may also invest in Eureka Hunter Holdings, LLC using proceeds from the sale of its common or preferred equity (with any such investments being utilized to further expand Eureka Hunter Pipeline, LLC); |
• | reduce the Company's Senior Note basket to $600 million from $800 million; |
• | increase the investment basket for unrestricted subsidiaries (other than Eureka Hunter Holdings, LLC) from $7.5 million to $12.5 million for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013, after which the basket shall remain $7.5 million in any calendar year; |
• | establish an acquisition and leasehold expenditures basket commencing August 1, 2013 through the Company's compliance with the financial covenants for the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2014, which shall equal (a) $40.0 million plus (b) if at the time of and after giving effect to any such investment, availability under the borrowing base is equal to or greater than $75.0 million , (i) asset sale proceeds net of any borrowing base reduction resulting from such asset sale and (ii) the net cash proceeds from the offering of common or preferred equity securities by the Company; and |
• | increase pricing by 50 basis points to LIBOR plus 250 to 325 basis points from LIBOR plus 200 to 275 basis points based on utilization until the Company demonstrates compliance with the financial covenants for the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2014. |
The Eighteenth Amendment amends certain other provisions of the Credit Agreement as set forth therein.
