Revolving Credit Facility
The revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”) provides for a $400 million revolving commitment. The Revolver has an accordion feature that allows us to increase the commitment by up to an additional $200 million upon receiving additional commitments from one or more lenders. The Revolver also includes a $20 million sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit. The Revolver is governed by a borrowing base calculation, which is re-determined semi-annually, and the availability under the Revolver may not exceed the lesser of the aggregate commitments and the borrowing base. In May 2014, the borrowing base was increased from $425 million to $475 million, due primarily to our continued development in the Eagle Ford Shale. The next semi-annual redetermination is scheduled for November 2014. The Revolver is available to us for general purposes including working capital, capital expenditures and acquisitions. The Revolver matures in September 2017. We had letters of credit of $1.7 million outstanding as of March 31, 2014. As of March 31, 2014, our available borrowing capacity under the Revolver was $208.3 million.
Borrowings under the Revolver bear interest, at our option, at either (i) a rate derived from the London Interbank Offered Rate, as adjusted for statutory reserve requirements for Eurocurrency liabilities (“Adjusted LIBOR”), plus an applicable margin (ranging from 1.500% to 2.500%) or (ii) the greater of (a) the prime rate, (b) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.5% or (c) the one-month Adjusted LIBOR plus 1.0%, and, in each case, plus an applicable margin (ranging from 0.500% to 1.500%). The applicable margin is determined based on the ratio of our outstanding borrowings to the available Revolver capacity. As of March 31, 2014, the actual interest rate on the outstanding borrowings under the Revolver was 1.9375% which is derived from an Adjusted LIBOR rate of 0.1875% plus an applicable margin of 1.75%. Commitment fees are charged at 0.375% to 0.500% on the undrawn portion of the Revolver depending on our ratio of outstanding borrowings to the available Revolver capacity. As of March 31, 2014, commitment fees were being charged at a rate of 0.375%.
The Revolver is guaranteed by Penn Virginia and all of our material subsidiaries (the “Guarantor Subsidiaries”). The obligations under the Revolver are secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of our proved oil and gas reserves and a pledge of the equity interests in the Guarantor Subsidiaries.
The Revolver includes both current ratio and leverage ratio financial covenants. The current ratio is defined in the Revolver to include, among other things, adjustments for undrawn availability and may not be less than 1.0 to 1.0. The ratio of total net debt to EBITDAX, a non-GAAP financial measure defined in the Revolver, may not exceed 4.5 to 1.0 through June 30, 2014, 4.25 to 1.0 through December 31, 2014 and then 4.0 to 1.0 through maturity.
2019 Senior Notes
The 7.25% Senior Notes due 2019 (the “2019 Senior Notes”), which were issued at par in April 2011, bear interest at an annual rate of 7.25% payable on April 15 and October 15 of each year. Beginning in April 2015, we may redeem all or part of the 2019 Senior Notes at a redemption price starting at 103.625% of the principal amount and reducing to 100% in June 2017 and thereafter. The 2019 Senior Notes are senior to our existing and future subordinated indebtedness and are subordinated to all of our secured indebtedness, including the Revolver, to the extent of the collateral securing that indebtedness. The obligations under the 2019 Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Guarantor Subsidiaries.
2020 Senior Notes
The 2020 Senior Notes due 2020 (the “2020 Senior Notes”), which were issued at par in April 2013, bear interest at an annual rate of 8.5% payable on June 15 and December 15 of each year. The 2020 Senior Notes are senior to our existing and future subordinated indebtedness and are subordinated to all of our secured indebtedness, including the Revolver, to the extent of the collateral securing that indebtedness. The obligations under the 2020 Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Guarantor Subsidiaries.
The guarantees provided by Penn Virginia, which is the parent company, and the Guarantor Subsidiaries under the Revolver and the senior indebtedness described above are full and unconditional and joint and several. Substantially all of our consolidated assets are held by the Guarantor Subsidiaries. The parent company and its non-guarantor subsidiaries have no material independent assets or operations. There are no significant restrictions on the ability of the parent company or any of the Guarantor Subsidiaries to obtain funds through dividends or other means, including advances and intercompany notes, among others.
