Item 1.01Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On May 18, 2015, Resolute Energy Corporation (the “Company”) and certain of its subsidiaries, as guarantors, entered into an Amendment to Secured Term Loan Agreement and Increased Facility Activation Notice-Incremental Term Loans (the “Amendment”) with Bank of Montreal, as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto, pursuant to which the Company borrowed an additional $50 million of second lien term debt (the “Incremental Term Loans”) under its Secured Term Loan Agreement dated December 30, 2014 (the “Secured Loan Agreement”).  Funding of the Incremental Term Loans occurred on May 19, 2015 (the “Closing”).  The Incremental Term Loans have the same terms as the existing second lien borrowings under the Secured Loan Agreement, adjusted for the date of the Closing. The $50 million of Incremental Term Loans was placed with the same lenders that participated in the initial $150 million second lien closing in December 2014.

 

The Incremental Term Loans are provided for in the Twelfth Amendment to the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of March 30, 2010, as amended (the “Credit Facility”).  In connection with the Closing, the Company received all required consents for the Incremental Term Loans from Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent under the Credit Facility.

 

Net proceeds from the Incremental Term Loans, estimated at approximately $46 million after payment of transaction-related fees, expenses and discounts, were used to repay amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility.  Borrowings under the Secured Term Loan Facility will generally bear interest at adjusted LIBOR plus 10%, with a 1% LIBOR floor. The Company’s borrowing base under the Credit Facility was automatically reduced by $10 million, to $260 million, effective upon the Closing.

 

The foregoing summary of the Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the copy of the definitive document attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference, and the Secured Term Loan Agreement filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s current report on Form 8-K filed on December 31, 2014.

The information set forth in Item 1.01 above related to the Amendment to Secured Term Loan Agreement and Increased Facility Activation Notice is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03.
