Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

On July 31, 2023, OLLC and Amplify Acquisitionco LLC (“Acquisitionco”), as the direct parent of OLLC and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, providing for a senior secured reserve-based revolving credit facility. The Revolving Credit Facility is guaranteed by the Company and all of its material subsidiaries and secured by substantially all of its assets. The Revolving Credit Facility matures on July 31, 2027, and is a replacement in full of the prior Revolving Credit Facility by and among OLLC, Acquisitionco, the guarantors party thereto, the lenders party thereto and KeyBank National Association, as the administrative agent (as amended, the “Prior Revolving Credit Facility”).

The aggregate principal amount of loans outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility as of September 30, 2024, was $120.0 million. As of September 30, 2024, the borrowing base under the facility was $150.0 million with elected commitments of $135.0 million, and, consistent with the Prior Revolving Credit Facility, the Revolving Credit Facility borrowing base is subject to redetermination on at least a semi-annual basis, primarily based on a reserve engineering report.

Certain key terms and conditions under the Revolving Credit Facility include (but are not limited to):

● A maturity date of July 31, 2027;

● The loans shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (i) adjusted SOFR or (ii) an adjusted base rate, plus an applicable margin based on a utilization ratio of the lesser of the borrowing base and the aggregate commitments. The applicable margin ranges from 2.00% to 3.00% for adjusted base rate borrowings, and 3.00% to 4.00% for adjusted SOFR borrowings;

● The unused commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility will accrue a commitment fee of 0.50%, payable quarterly in arrears;

● Certain financial covenants, including the maintenance of (i) a net debt leverage ratio not to exceed 3.00 to 1.00, determined as of the last day of each fiscal quarter for the four fiscal-quarter period then ending and (ii) a current ratio of not less than 1.00 to 1.00, determined as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, in each case commencing with the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2023;

● Certain events of default, including, without limitation: non-payment; breaches of representations and warranties; non-compliance with covenants or other agreements; cross-default to material indebtedness; judgments; change of control; and voluntary and involuntary bankruptcy; and

● Initial minimum hedging requirements covering 75% of the reasonably projected monthly production of hydrocarbons from proved developed producing reserves for the 24-month period following the effective date of the Revolving Credit Facility (the “First Period”) and (ii) 50% for the 12-month period immediately following the First Period.

Subsequent event. On October 25, 2024, OLLC entered into an amendment to the Revolving Credit Facility (the “Credit Agreement Amendment”), which, among other things, (i) reduced the borrowing base under the Revolving Credit Facility from $150.0 million to $145.0 million, (ii) increased the aggregate elected commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility from $135.0 million to $145.0 million and (iii) amended certain interest rates applicable to loans under the Revolving Credit Facility. The next redetermination is expected in the spring of 2025.

As of September 30, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all the financial (current ratio and total leverage ratio) and non-financial covenants associated with the Revolving Credit Facility.
