Revolving Credit Facility

On February 28, 2017, the Company entered into the Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with the lenders party thereto and Bank of America, N.A. (as amended from time to time, the “Amended Credit Agreement”), as administrative agent and issuing lender. The Amended Credit Agreement provides for a reserve-based revolving credit facility and matures on February 28, 2021.

The Company’s borrowing base under the Amended Credit Agreement was redetermined to $100 million on November 8, 2017. On March 31, 2018, the Company had no outstanding borrowings and $9.8 million of outstanding letters of credit, leaving $90.2 million of availability under the Amended Credit Agreement. Interest on loans under the Amended Credit Agreement is calculated using the London Interbank Offering Rate (“LIBOR”) or the base rate, at the election of the Company, plus, in each case, an applicable margin. The applicable margin is determined based on borrowing base utilization and ranges from 2.00% to 3.00% per annum for base rate loans and 3.00% to 4.00% per annum for LIBOR loans.

The borrowing base under the Amended Credit Agreement is redetermined semi-annually, in May and November, by the lenders, in accordance with the lenders’ customary practices for oil and gas loans. In addition, we and the lenders each have discretion at any time, but not more than two additional times in any calendar year, to have the borrowing base redetermined. In connection with the pending Talos combination, the May 1, 2018 redetermination has been moved to June 1, 2018. Subject to certain exceptions, the Amended Credit Agreement is required to be guaranteed by all of the material domestic direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Company. As of March 31, 2018, the Amended Credit Agreement is guaranteed by Stone Energy Offshore, L.L.C. (“Stone Offshore”). The Amended Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all of the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ assets.

The Amended Credit Agreement provides for customary optional and mandatory prepayments, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default, including limitation on the incurrence of debt, liens, restrictive agreements, mergers, asset sales, dividends, investments, affiliate transactions and restrictions on commodity hedging. During the continuance of certain events of default, the lenders may take a number of actions, including declaring the entire amount then outstanding under the Amended Credit Agreement due and payable (in the event of certain insolvency-related events, the entire amount then outstanding under the Amended Credit Agreement will become automatically due and payable). The Amended Credit Agreement also requires maintenance of certain financial covenants, including (i) a consolidated funded debt to EBITDA ratio of not more than 2.50x for the test periods ending March 31, 2018, June 30, 2018, September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2018, respectively, 2.75x for the test period ending March 31, 2019, 3.00x for the test period ending June 30, 2019, 3.50x for the test periods ending September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2019, respectively, 3.00x for the test period ending March 31, 2020, 2.75x for the test periods ending June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2020, respectively, and 2.50x for the test periods ending December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2021, respectively, (ii) a consolidated interest coverage ratio of not less than 2.75 to 1.00, and (iii) a requirement to maintain minimum liquidity of at least 20% of the borrowing base. We were in compliance with all covenants under the Amended Credit Agreement as of March 31, 2018.
