Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On January 23, 2020, Lilis Energy, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Eighth Amendment (the “Eighth Amendment”) to the Second Amended and Restated Senior Secured Revolving Credit Agreement, dated October 10, 2018 (as amended from time to time, the “Revolving Credit Agreement”), among the Company, certain subsidiaries of the Company, as guarantors, the lenders party thereto, and BMO Harris Bank N.A., as administrative agent.
As previously disclosed, as a result of the January 17, 2020 redetermination of the borrowing base under the Revolving Credit Agreement, a borrowing base deficiency in the amount of $25 million (the “Borrowing Base Deficiency”) currently exists under the Revolving Credit Agreement. The Borrowing Base Deficiency constitutes the difference between the principal amount of borrowings currently outstanding under the Revolving Credit Agreement ($115 million) and the borrowing base as so redetermined ($90 million). The Company is required to repay the amount of the Borrowing Base Deficiency in four $6.25 million installments (each, an “Installment Payment”). Prior to the Eighth Amendment, the first Installment Payment was due to be made on January 24, 2020, and the subsequent Installment Payments were due to be made on the same day of each of the three succeeding months.
The Eighth Amendment, among other things, amended the Revolving Credit Agreement to provide that the due date for the first Installment Payment is extended from January 24, 2020 to February 7, 2020 and that the due dates for the subsequent Installment Payments are February 14, 2020, March 16, 2020 and April 14, 2020.
As previously disclosed, the Company is currently considering transactions to fund the repayment of the Borrowing Base Deficiency. If the Company is unable to repay the Borrowing Base Deficiency as and when required under the Revolving Credit Agreement, an event of default would occur under the Revolving Credit Agreement.
The foregoing description of the terms of the Eighth Amendment is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full copy of the Eighth Amendment filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
