On August 5, 2022, Hallador Energy Company (the "Company") executed an amendment to its credit agreement with PNC, administrative agent for its lenders. The primary purpose of this amendment was to modify the allowable leverage ratio and debt service coverage ratio through September 30, 2022. The Maximum Leverage Ratio allowed for the period ending September 30, 2022 has been increased to 4.50X, the Debt Service Coverage Ratio for the period ending September 30, 2022 has been waived, the maximum capital expenditures allowed for the year ending December 31, 2022 has been raised to $40 million, and permitted unsecured debt issuance of $20 million has been authorized through October 31, 2022.
A copy of the credit agreement is filed herewith as
Exhibit 10.1 to this Form 10-Q.
On August 8, 2022, the Company issued senior unsecured convertible notes (the "Notes") to two related parties, Lubar Opportunities Fund I, of which Mr. David Lubar, a Company director, manages in his capacity as President and CEO of Lubar & Co. ($3.0 million of principal purchased), and Hallador Alternative Assets Fund, LLC, of which Mr. David C. Hardie, a Company director, manages in his capacity as Managing Member of Hallador Management, LLC ($1.0 million of principal purchased), in the aggregate principal amount of $4.0 million. The funds received from the Notes will be used to provide additional working capital to the Company.
The Notes carry an interest rate of 8% per annum with a maturity date of December 29, 2028. Pursuant to the terms of the Notes, for the period August 18, 2022 through August 17, 2024, the holders have the option to convert the Notes into shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion price of $6.254. Each Conversion Share will consist of one share of Common Stock. The conversion price and number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the May 2, 2022 Notes are subject to adjustment from time to time for any subdivision or consolidation of the Company’s shares and other standard dilutive events. Beginning August 8, 2025, the Company may, at its option and upon 30 days written notice provided to the Holders, elect to redeem the Notes (in whole and not in part) and the Holders shall be obligated to surrender the Notes, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the outstanding Principal Balance, together with any accrued but unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date. After receipt of such redemption notice from the Company, the Holder may, at its option, may elect to convert the Principal Balance and accrued interest into Conversion Shares by giving written notice of such election to the Company no later than 5 days prior to the date fixed for redemption.
The foregoing description of the August 8, 2022 Notes are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such documents, copies of which are attached to this Report as
Exhibits 10.2 and
10.3, which are incorporated herein by reference.
