Long-Term Debt and Common Stock

Long-Term Debt. EOG had no outstanding commercial paper borrowings at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, and did not utilize any commercial paper borrowings during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.

EOG currently has a $2.0 billion senior unsecured Revolving Credit Agreement (Agreement) with domestic and foreign lenders (Banks). The Agreement has a scheduled maturity date of June 27, 2024, and includes an option for EOG to extend, on up to two occasions, the term for successive one-year periods subject to certain terms and conditions. The Agreement (i) commits the Banks to provide advances up to an aggregate principal amount of $2.0 billion at any one time outstanding, with an option for EOG to request increases in the aggregate commitments to an amount not to exceed $3.0 billion, subject to certain terms and conditions and (ii) includes a swingline subfacility and a letter of credit subfacility. Advances under the Agreement will accrue interest based, at EOG's option, on either LIBOR plus an applicable margin (Eurodollar rate) or the base rate (as defined in the Agreement) plus an applicable margin. The Agreement contains representations, warranties, covenants and events of default that EOG believes are customary for investment-grade, senior unsecured commercial bank credit agreements, including a financial covenant for the maintenance of a ratio of total debt-to-capitalization (as such terms are defined in the Agreement) of no greater than 65%. At June 30, 2021, EOG was in compliance with this financial covenant. At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were no borrowings or letters of credit outstanding under the Agreement. The Eurodollar rate and base rate (inclusive of the applicable margin), had there been any amounts borrowed under the Agreement at June 30, 2021, would have been 1.00% and 3.25%, respectively.

On February 1, 2021, EOG repaid upon maturity the $750 million aggregate principal amount of its 4.100% Senior Notes due 2021.

Common Stock. On February 25, 2021, EOG's Board increased the quarterly cash dividend on the common stock from the previous $0.375 per share to $0.4125 per share, effective beginning with the dividend paid on April 30, 2021, to stockholders of record as of April 16, 2021. On May 6, 2021, EOG's Board declared a special cash dividend on the common stock of $1.00 per share in addition to a quarterly dividend of $0.4125 per share. Both the special cash dividend and the quarterly cash dividend are payable on July 30, 2021 to stockholders of record as of July 16, 2021.
