Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On May 15, 2018, Amplify Energy Operating LLC (the “Borrower”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Amplify Energy Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into the Second Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, among the Borrower, the guarantors party thereto, the lenders party thereto and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent (the “Second Amendment”). The Second Amendment amends the parties’ existing Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of May 4, 2017 (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”), to, among other things:

 

    reflect the reduction of the borrowing base under the Credit Agreement from $435.0 million to $430.0 million, effective as of May 15, 2018, with the borrowing base to be further automatically reduced by $15.0 million upon the consummation of the indirect sale of the Company’s interest in certain properties located in South Texas (the “South Texas Assets”) and by $5.0 million each month until the next scheduled redetermination of the borrowing base to occur on or about October 1, 2018; and

 

    amend the minimum hedging requirement to disregard the reasonably anticipated production of hydrocarbons from the South Texas Assets.

The Second Amendment also contains customary representations, warranties and agreements of the Borrower and the guarantors.

All other material terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement were unchanged.

The foregoing description of the Second Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Second Amendment filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
