Item 1.01 |
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On April 7, 2021, PHX Minerals Inc. (the “Company”), as borrower, entered into a Ninth Amendment (the “Amendment”) to its Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated November 25, 2013 (as amended from time to time, the “Credit Facility”) with BOKF, NA dba Bank of Oklahoma, as lender, issuing bank and administrative agent for several banks and other financial institutions and lenders thereto. Capitalized terms not defined in this Current Report on Form 8-K have the meanings set forth in the Credit Facility.
The Amendment, among other things, reduces the Company’s borrowing base under the Credit Facility to $29.0 million, extends the maturity date one year to November 30, 2023 and reduces the Quarterly Commitment Reductions from $600,000 to $500,000, commencing on April 15, 2021. Additionally, the Amendment increases the Company’s distribution allowance from $1.0 million to $1.5 million per annum for a period of one year from the date of the Amendment and extends this allowance beyond the date that is one year following the date of the Amendment so long as (i) the Available Commitment is greater than or equal to 20% of the Total Commitment and (ii) the Leverage Ratio on a pro forma basis does not exceed 2.75 to 1.00. The existing prohibition of all Restricted Payments other than the subject distribution allowance and the existing requirement that immediately after giving effect to a permitted Restricted Payment, no Default or Event of Default may exist or result therefrom are to remain in effect. As of March 31, 2021, the outstanding debt balance was $23.5 million.
The Amendment also provides that any cash actually received by the Company in an equity raise is considered “Excluded Cash” (previously, this was limited to cash actually received by the Company in an equity raise on or prior to December 24, 2020) and that such cash may be used for acquisitions by the Company without BOKF’s prior written consent.
A copy of the Amendment is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein. The description of the Amendment in this Current Report on Form 8-K is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Amendment.
