RBL Facility

 

On  May 16, 2022, the Company entered into an agreement with Glencore, and other lenders, to provide a senior secured reserve-based revolving credit facility for a maximum principal amount of up to $50.0 million. Beginning  October 1, 2023 and thereafter on  April 1 and  October 1 of each year during the term of the RBL Facility, the $50 million initial commitment, was reduced by $6.3 million. At March 31, 2024, the amount available to be drawn under the facility was $43.8 million.

 

The RBL Facility agreement contains certain debt covenants, including that, as of the last day of each calendar quarter, (i) the ratio of Consolidated Total Net Debt to EBITDAX (as each term is defined in the RBL Facility agreement) for the trailing 12 months shall not exceed 3.0x and (ii) consolidated cash and cash equivalents shall not be lower than $10.0 million at any time. The amount the Company can borrow with respect to the borrowing base is subject to compliance with the financial covenants and other provisions of the RBL Facility agreement. Regarding the requirement, the Company must deliver its annual financial statements to Glencore within 90 days of the end of each fiscal year. At March 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants and had no outstanding borrowings under the facility.
