Credit Agreements

MRC Energy Company

The borrowing base under the Credit Agreement is determined semi-annually as of May 1 and November 1 by the lenders based primarily on the estimated value of the Company’s proved oil and natural gas reserves at December 31 and June 30 of each year, respectively. The Company and the lenders may each request an unscheduled redetermination of the borrowing base once between scheduled redetermination dates. On March 31, 2023, the lenders completed their review of the Company’s proved oil and natural gas reserves, and, as a result, the Company and its lenders entered into an amendment to the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, which amended the Credit Agreement to, among other things: (i) reaffirm the borrowing base at $2.25 billion, (ii) increase the elected commitment from $775.0 million to $1.25 billion and (iii) maintain the maximum facility amount at $1.50 billion. This March 2023 reaffirmation of the borrowing base constituted the regularly scheduled May 1 redetermination.

This October 2023 redetermination constituted the regularly scheduled November 1 redetermination. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are limited to the lowest of the borrowing base, the maximum facility amount and the elected commitment (subject to compliance with the covenants noted below).
