Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Credit Facility Amendment
On April 13, 2015, Oasis Petroleum Inc. (the "Company") entered into an amendment to its Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with its bank syndicate (the “Amendment”) in order to extend the maturity date of the credit facility, increase the aggregate elected commitment amounts of the lenders, and provide for the scheduled redetermination of the borrowing base.
Pursuant to the Amendment, the maturity date of the credit facility was extended from April 2018 to April 2020, provided that the Company's 2019 Senior Notes are retired or refinanced 90 days prior to the maturity of the 2019 Senior Notes. Additionally, the lenders under the Company’s revolving credit facility completed their regular semi-annual redetermination of the borrowing base scheduled for April 1, 2015. Following the redetermination, the Company’s borrowing base was set at $1,700 million. The Company also increased elected commitments to $1,525 million from $1,500 million. The next redetermination of the borrowing base is scheduled for October 1, 2015.
The foregoing description of the Amendment is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Amendment, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
The information set forth under Item 1.01 concerning the Amendment is incorporated herein by reference.
