Closing of Asset Sale
On September 15, 2015, Resolute Wyoming, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Resolute Wyoming”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Resolute Energy Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “PSA”) with MCL 1 Oil and Gas Wyoming LLC to sell its Hilight Field oil and gas properties in the Powder River Basin in Campbell County, Wyoming, for a purchase price of $55 million, subject to customary purchase price adjustments, including for title and environmental defects (the “PRB Sale”). On October 6, 2015, Resolute Wyoming closed the PRB Sale transaction. The PRB Sale had an effective date of July 1, 2015.
In connection with the PRB Sale, on October 5, 2015, the Company also entered into a letter agreement under the Company’s Secured Term Loan Agreement (the “Second Lien Credit Agreement”) dated December 30, 2014, between the Company, certain subsidiaries of the Company as Guarantors, Bank of Montreal, as Administrative Agent, and the lenders parties thereto (the “Second Lien Lenders”), pursuant to which the Second Lien Lenders consented to the PRB Sale and waived any required prepayment of Second Lien debt in connection with the PRB Sale.
The net proceeds of the PRB Sale were used to pay down amounts outstanding under the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below).
Borrowing Base Redetermination
On October 7, 2015, the Company completed its fall borrowing base redetermination under its Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of March 30, 2010, as amended, with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), and the borrowing base was set at $165 million. This amount reflects a $15 million reduction attributable to the sale of the Powder River Basin properties described above.
