Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Purchase Agreement

On October 7, 2013, Memorial Production Partners LP (the “Partnership”) entered into a purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Partnership, Memorial Production Finance Corporation (“Finance Corp” and, together with the Partnership, the “Issuers”), the subsidiary guarantors named therein (the “Guarantors”) and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as representative of the several initial purchasers named therein (collectively, the “Initial Purchasers”), providing for the offer and sale of $300,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Issuers’ 7  58% senior notes due 2021 (the “Notes”). The Notes were sold to the Initial Purchasers at 97.0% of par for a yield to worst of 8.163% and net proceeds of approximately $285 million, after deducting the Initial Purchasers’ discounts and commissions, but before estimated offering expenses. The net proceeds were used to repay borrowings outstanding under the Partnership’s revolving credit facility. The closing of the issuance and sale of the Notes occurred on October 10, 2013.

The Notes were offered and sold to the Initial Purchasers in a private placement exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Notes were resold by the Initial Purchasers to qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act and to non-U.S. persons outside the United States in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act.

The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements of the parties and customary conditions to closing, obligations of the parties and termination provisions. The Issuers and Guarantors have agreed to indemnify the Initial Purchasers against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute to payments the Initial Purchasers may be required to make because of any of those liabilities. The Issuers and the Guarantors also agreed to enter into a registration rights agreement with the holders of the Notes. The Purchase Agreement contains representations, warranties and other provisions that were made or agreed to, among other things, to provide the parties thereto with specified rights and obligations and to allocate risk among them. Accordingly, the Purchase Agreement should not be relied upon as constituting a description of the state of affairs of any of the parties thereto or their affiliates at the time it was entered into or otherwise.

The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated in this Item 1.01 by reference.

Indenture and Notes

The Notes are of the same class, and were issued pursuant to the same indenture, dated April 17, 2013 (the “Indenture”), by and among the Issuers, the Guarantors party thereto and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee, as the Issuers’ outstanding 7  58% senior notes due 2021 issued under the Indenture on April 17, 2013 and May 23, 2013, which were described in the Partnership’s Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 17, 2013 and May 23, 2013, respectively. A copy of the Indenture is filed as Exhibit 4.1 to such Current Report on Form 8-K filed on April 17, 2013 and is incorporated in this Item 1.01 by reference.

Registration Rights Agreement

In connection with the issuance and sale of the Notes, the Issuers and the Guarantors entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with the Initial Purchasers, dated October 10, 2013. Under the Registration Rights Agreement, the Issuers and the Guarantors have agreed to file and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause to become effective a registration statement with respect to an offer to exchange the Notes for substantially identical notes that are registered under the Securities Act so as to permit the exchange offer to be consummated no later than the 189th day following the issuance of the Notes. Under specified circumstances, the Issuers and Guarantors have also agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause to become effective a shelf registration statement relating to resales of the Notes. The Issuers and the Guarantors are required to pay additional interest (up to a maximum of 1.0%) if they fail to comply with their obligations to consummate the exchange offer or to cause a shelf registration statement relating to resales of the Notes to become effective within the time periods specified in the Registration Rights Agreement.


The foregoing description of the Registration Rights Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Registration Rights Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 4.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated in this Item 1.01 by reference.

 

Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

The information included, or incorporated by reference, in Item 1.01 is incorporated in this Item 2.03 by reference.

 

Item 8.01. Other Events.

On October 7, 2013, the Partnership issued a press release announcing that it had priced the offer and sale of the Notes. A copy of the press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated in this Item 8.01 by reference.

As a result of the completion of the offering and sale of the Notes, the borrowing base under the Partnership’s revolving credit facility was reduced from $920 million to $845 million.
