Item 1.01Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On June 24, 2015, Far East Energy (Bermuda), Ltd. (“FEEB”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Far East Energy Corporation, entered into an Amendment Agreement (the “Amendment”) to that certain Term Loan Facility Agreement (the “February Agreement”), dated as of February 24, 2015, by and among FEEB, as borrower, and the lenders party thereto, to extend the repayment date of the February Agreement from June 26, 2015 to July 27, 2015.

 

On June 26, 2015, FEEB entered into a Term Loan Facility Agreement (the “Facility Agreement”), as borrower, with the lenders party thereto (collectively, the "Lenders").

 

The Facility Agreement provides for a $4.0 million unsecured credit facility to be used for certain working capital purposes approved by the Lenders and has a term ending on October 8, 2015. Loans under the Facility Agreement will be made by the Lenders pursuant to utilization requests delivered by FEEB. FEEB has the right to deliver up to fifteen utilization requests during the initial 50-day period after the date of the Facility Agreement. FEEB delivered its first utilization request under the Facility Agreement for $1.3 million. Any amounts requested by FEEB pursuant to any subsequent utilization requests are subject to the prior approval of the Lenders. Loans under the Facility Agreement will bear interest at a rate of 25%. The Facility Agreement provides for a commitment fee of 7.5% of the total commitments under the Facility Agreement. The commitment fee is payable upon repayment of the loans. Upon a change of control, FEEB is required to repay all amounts owed to the Lenders under the Facility Agreement.

 

The Facility Agreement contains certain restrictive covenants, including, among others, prohibitions on entering into certain merger arrangements; on selling, transferring or otherwise disposing of assets; on creating or permitting certain liens; on making distributions; on issuing certain equity securities; on making a substantial change in the nature of FEEB's business; and on incurring certain indebtedness. The Facility Agreement contains certain events of default that could, subject to certain conditions, cause the amounts owed by FEEB under the Facility Agreement to be immediately due and payable.

 

The foregoing description of the Amendment and the Facility Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment and the Facility Agreement, a copy of each of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 10.2, respectively, the amendment to the February Agreement attached as Exhibit 10.1 to the Form 8-K filed on May 28, 2015, and the February Agreement attached as Exhibit 10.1 to the Form 8-K filed on February 27, 2015, which are each incorporated herein by reference.

 

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

 

The discussion of the Facility Agreement set forth in response to Item 1.01 above is incorporated herein by reference.
