Item 1.01.         Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
 
On October 3, 2023, VAALCO Gabon (Etame), Inc. (the “Borrower”), a wholly owned subsidiary of VAALCO Energy, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into an amended and restated facility agreement (the “Credit Facility”) that amends and restates the Facility Agreement dated May 16, 2022 (the “Initial Credit Facility”), by and among the Company, VAALCO Gabon, SA, Glencore Energy UK Ltd., as mandated lead arranger, technical bank and facility agent, the Law Debenture Trust Corporation P.L.C., as security agent, and the other financial institutions named therein.
 
The Initial Credit Facility made use of the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) to calculate the interest rate applicable to borrowings thereunder.  As a result of the recent discontinuation of LIBOR as a published interest rate, the Credit Facility amends the Initial Credit Facility to instead make use of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) to calculate the interest rate applicable to borrowings thereunder.
 
The Credit Facility also amends the required time for delivery of annual financial statements of the Borrower and amends other terms and conditions of the Initial Credit Facility. The Credit Facility continues to include customary terms, covenants and events of default for a credit facility of its size and nature.
 
The foregoing summary of the Credit Facility and the revisions to the Initial Credit Facility that it effects is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Credit Facility, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
