Item 1.01.              Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On October 13, 2016, PetroShare Corp. (the “Company”) entered into a revolving line of credit facility agreement (“Line of Credit Agreement”) with Providence Energy Partners III, LP, a Texas limited partnership (“PEP III”) and an affiliate of Providence Energy Operators, LLC (“Providence”), the lender under the Company’s original line of credit. The Line of Credit Agreement provides the Company the right to borrow up to $10 million, such credit available only for the acquisition and development of oil and gas properties.  All amounts borrowed under the Line of Credit Agreement accrue interest at the rate of 8% per annum and are due and payable in full on April 13, 2017.

 

Under the terms of the Line of Credit Agreement, the Company is prohibited from (i) incurring additional indebtedness other than amounts that may be outstanding from time to time under the Company’s existing line of credit with Providence or trade debt incurred in the ordinary course of business, (ii) making loans or advances to any third party except trade debt incurred in the ordinary course of business, and (iii) selling, leasing, or otherwise disposing of any material assets in excess of $100,000 in any calendar year except assets that may be sold to Providence under that certain Participation Agreement between the Company and Providence dated May 15, 2015. Amounts outstanding under the Line of Credit Agreement will be evidenced by a promissory note (“Promissory Note”) and the Promissory Note will be secured by a Deed of Trust, Mortgage, Assignment of Production, Security Agreement and Financing Statement (“Deed of Trust”) encumbering all of the Company’s oil and gas assets located in the Wattenberg Field, now owned or hereafter acquired, including leasehold interests, wells, equipment and any production from the wells.

 

The Line of Credit Agreement describes certain events of default, including the failure to pay any part of the principal or interest as and when due, the commencement of any proceeding under any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or similar law or statute, a breach of any of the covenants contained in the Promissory Note, Line of Credit Agreement or Deed of Trust and becoming insolvent or not paying any debts as they become due.  Upon the occurrence of an event of default, PEP III would have the right to declare the Promissory Note immediately due and payable.

 

In connection with the Line of Credit Agreement, the Company agreed to transfer and assign to PEP III ten percent (10%) of its working interest in 378 gross (170 net) acres in the Wattenberg Field , including the Company’s interest in the Jacobucci wells in which the Company is participating as a non-operator and any other wells that might be drilled on that acreage in the future.  PEP III has agreed to reimburse the Company for 10% of all its expenses incurred to date associated with the Jacobucci wells and to pay any future expenses incurred in connection with the interest assigned by the Company.  The effect of this assignment is to reduce the Company’s working interest in the Jacobucci wells to an average of approximately 17.6% per well.

 

The Line of Credit Agreement is not intended to provide any other factual information about the Company. The representations, warranties, and covenants contained in the Line of Credit Agreement were made only for purposes of the Agreement, including the allocation of risk between the parties, and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to the

Agreement, and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures exchanged between the parties in connection with the execution of the Agreement.

 

A copy of the Line of Credit Agreement is attached to this report as Exhibit 10.1. The description of the document in this report is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Exhibit.  A copy of the Deed of Trust will be filed as an exhibit to this report by amendment as soon as the document is finalized.

 

Item 2.01.              Completion of Acquisition of Disposition of Assets

 

On October 14, 2016, the Company completed the acquisition of the royalty interests from Phyllis Dowell that were described in the Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 12, 2016.  The assets acquired by the Company include royalty interests in 10 Jacobucci well sites located on its Todd Creek Farms prospect that are in the process of being drilled and/or cased by the operator.  Contemporaneous with the closing, Providence exercised its option to acquire 50% of the royalty interests. The Company borrowed $1,550,000 under the Line of Credit Agreement to pay its share of the purchase price of the royalty interests that were acquired from seller and to pay drilling costs.

 

Item 7.01.              Regulation FD Disclosure.

 

On October 18, 2016, the Company issued a press release announcing the execution of the Line of Credit Agreement and the acquisition of the royalty interests.  A copy of the press release is attached to this report as Exhibit 99.1.
