Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On November 30, 2015, Energy XXI Ltd’s indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries Energy XXI Gulf Coast, Inc. (“Gulf Coast”) and EPL Oil & Gas, Inc. (“EPL”) received written confirmation from the administrative agent under their Second Amended and Restated First Lien Credit Agreement (the “First Lien Credit Agreement”) that they had received signature pages from the required lenders under the First Lien Credit Agreement for the Twelfth Amendment to Second Amended and Restated First Lien Credit Agreement dated as of November 30, 2015 (the “Amendment”). The Amendment also became effective as of such date based on satisfaction of the conditions to such effectiveness provided in the Amendment.
Under the Amendment, the following changes to the First Lien Credit Agreement were effective upon signing:
· | Modification of triggers that require EPL and its subsidiaries to provide guarantees of the indebtedness of Gulf Coast and its subsidiaries and grant liens on the assets of EPL and its subsidiaries to secure such guarantees. Under such modifications, such guarantees and security will be required upon the earlier of EPL’s retirement of its obligations in respect of its outstanding 8.25% notes due 2018 and amendments to covenant restrictions under such notes that eliminate restrictions on the ability of EPL and its subsidiaries to guarantee the indebtedness of Gulf Coast and its subsidiaries and grant liens on the assets of EPL and its subsidiaries to secure such guarantees (even if such notes have not been refinanced or defeased). |
· | Suspending the secured debt leverage ratio covenant with respect to Gulf Coast and its subsidiaries (other than EPL and its subsidiaries) to begin on the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2017 rather than March 31, 2015. |
· | Modifying the secured debt leverage covenant with respect to Gulf Coast and its subsidiaries to be 3.75:1.00 as of the end of each fiscal quarter beginning with the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2015, and to increase to 4.75:1.00 starting March 31, 2016, to 5.25:1.00 starting June 30, 2016, and decreasing to 5.00:1.00 beginning June 30, 2017 and thereafter. |
Pursuant to the terms of the Amendment, the lenders under the First Lien Credit Agreement also maintained the borrowing base for Gulf Coast at $500,000,000, of which such amount $150,000,000 is the borrowing base for EPL under the subfacility established for EPL under the First Lien Credit Agreement. These respective borrowing bases were set in accordance with the regular annual process for determination of the borrowing bases and the borrowing bases are to remain effective under the next redetermination thereof under the terms of the First Lien Credit Agreement.
A copy of the Amendment is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
