Item 1.01. Entry Into A Material Definitive Agreement.
On May 26, 2016, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Vanguard Natural Gas, LLC, entered into the Tenth Amendment to Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Tenth Amendment”), among the Company, Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto, which amends the Company’s Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated September 30, 2011 and was amended by the First Amendment, dated November 30, 2011, the Second Amendment, dated June 29, 2012, the Third Amendment, dated December 31, 2012, the Fourth Amendment, dated April 16, 2013, the Fifth Amendment, dated November 5, 2013, the Sixth Amendment, dated April 30, 2014, the Seventh Amendment, dated October 30, 2014, the Eighth Amendment, dated June 3, 2015 and the Ninth Amendment, dated November 6, 2015 (as amended, the “Credit Facility”).
The Tenth Amendment, effective as of May 26, 2016, decreased the Company’s borrowing base from $1.8 billion to $1.325 billion. The Tenth Amendment also includes, among other provisions, a one-time current ratio waiver for the second quarter of 2016, an increase in the mortgage requirement from 80% to 95% and an additional Event of Default clause. An Event of Default would occur should the Company make any payment of principal, accrued interest or fees to any Senior Notes or Second Lien Debt on or after September 15, 2016 if the Company’s pro forma liquidity after giving pro forma effect to such payment is less than $50 million.
The foregoing description of the Tenth Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Tenth Amendment, a copy of which was attached as an exhibit to the Original 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
The information included in Item 2.04 below is incorporated by reference herein.
Item 2.04. Triggering Events That Accelerate or Increase a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement.
The information included in Item 1.01 above is incorporated by reference herein. As of May 26, 2016, Vanguard has $1.424 billion in outstanding borrowings and approximately $4.5 million in outstanding letters of credit, resulting in a deficiency of approximately $103.5 million not including current cash on hand of approximately $40 million. Under Vanguard’s Credit Agreement, the Company will make six equal monthly installments of approximately $17.3 million beginning on June 27, 2016. Vanguard expects that its excess cash flow forecasted for the remainder of the year will allow the Company to satisfy the repayment of the deficiency in the six-month period.
