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 22, 2024, 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 $2.50 billion, (ii) increase the elected borrowing commitments from $1.325 billion to $1.50 billion, (iii) increase the maximum facility amount from $2.00 billion to $3.50 billion, (iv) extend the maturity date from October 31, 2026 to March 22, 2029, (v) appoint PNC Bank, National Association as administrative agent thereunder and (vi) add five new banks to the lending group. This March 2024 reaffirmation of the borrowing base constituted the regularly scheduled May 1 redetermination.

The Credit Agreement requires the Company to maintain (i) a current ratio, which is defined as (x) total consolidated current assets plus the unused availability under the Credit Agreement divided by (y) total consolidated current liabilities less current maturities under the Credit Agreement, of not less than 1.0 to 1.0 at the end of each fiscal quarter and (ii) a debt to EBITDA ratio, which is defined as debt outstanding (net of cash or cash equivalents of up to the greater of (a) $150.0 million and (b) 10% of the elected commitment), divided by a rolling four quarter EBITDA calculation, of 3.5 to 1.0 or less. The Company believes that it was in compliance with the terms of the Credit Agreement at March 31, 2024.

San Mateo Midstream, LLC

The San Mateo Credit Facility is non-recourse with respect to Matador and its wholly-owned subsidiaries but is guaranteed by San Mateo’s subsidiaries and secured by substantially all of San Mateo’s assets, including real property. The outstanding borrowings under the San Mateo Credit Facility mature on December 9, 2026, and lender commitments under the facility were $535.0 million at March 31, 2024. The San Mateo Credit Facility includes an accordion feature, which provides for potential increases in lender commitments of up to $735.0 million.

The San Mateo Credit Facility requires San Mateo to maintain a debt to EBITDA ratio, which is defined as total consolidated funded indebtedness outstanding (as defined in the San Mateo Credit Facility) divided by a rolling four quarter EBITDA calculation, of 5.0 or less, subject to certain exceptions. The San Mateo Credit Facility also requires San Mateo to maintain an interest coverage ratio, which is defined as a rolling four quarter EBITDA calculation divided by San Mateo’s consolidated interest expense for such period, of 2.5 or more. The San Mateo Credit Facility also restricts the ability of San Mateo to distribute cash to its members if San Mateo’s liquidity is less than 10% of the lender commitments under the San Mateo Credit Facility. The Company believes that San Mateo was in compliance with the terms of the San Mateo Credit Facility at March 31, 2024.
