| Borrowings | Borrowings The Company’s borrowings consisted of the following:
(1) Excludes unamortized deferred financing costs related to the Company’s senior secured revolving credit facility of $16.5 million and $18.1 million as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, which are classified in “Deferred financing costs” in the consolidated balance sheets.
Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility
The Company has a senior secured revolving credit facility with a syndicate of lenders (the “Credit Facility”) that, as of March 31, 2022, had a maximum credit amount of $5.0 billion, a borrowing base and elected commitment amount of $1.6 billion, with borrowings outstanding of $712.0 million at a weighted-average interest rate of 2.74%, and letters of credit outstanding of $23.0 million. The credit agreement governing the Credit Facility provides for interest-only payments until December 20, 2024 when the credit agreement matures and any outstanding borrowings are due. The Credit Facility is subject to specified springing maturity dates if more than $100.0 million principal amount of the 9.00% Second Lien Senior Secured Notes due 2025 (the “Second Lien Notes”) and 6.125% Senior Notes are outstanding. The Credit Facility is secured by first preferred mortgages covering the Company’s major producing properties.
The borrowing base under the credit agreement is subject to regular redeterminations in the spring and fall of each year, as well as special redeterminations described in the credit agreement, which in each case may reduce the amount of the borrowing base. On May 2, 2022, as part of the Company’s spring 2022 redetermination, the borrowing base and elected commitment amount of $1.6 billion were reaffirmed.
Borrowings outstanding under the credit agreement bear interest at the Company’s option at either (i) a base rate for a base rate loan plus a margin between 1.00% to 2.00%, where the base rate is defined as the greatest of the prime rate, the federal funds rate plus 0.50% and the adjusted LIBO rate plus 1.00%, or (ii) an adjusted LIBO rate for a Eurodollar loan plus a margin between 2.00% to 3.00%. The Company also incurs commitment fees at rates ranging between 0.375% to 0.500% on the unused portion of lender commitments, which are included in “Interest expense, net of capitalized amounts” in the consolidated statements of operations.
Covenants
The Company’s credit agreement governing the Credit Facility, the 6.125% Senior Notes, the 8.25% Senior Notes, the 6.375% Senior Notes and the 8.00% Senior Notes (collectively, the “Senior Unsecured Notes”) and the Second Lien Notes limit the Company and certain of its subsidiaries with respect to the amount of additional indebtedness, liens, dividends and other payments to shareholders, repurchases or redemptions of the Company’s common stock, redemptions of senior notes, investments, acquisitions, mergers, asset dispositions, transactions with affiliates, hedging transactions and other matters, along with maintenance of certain financial ratios.
Under the credit agreement, the Company must maintain the following financial covenants determined as of the last day of the quarter: (1) a Leverage Ratio (as defined in the credit agreement governing the Credit Facility) of no more than 4.00 to 1.00 and (2) a Current Ratio (as defined in the credit agreement governing the Credit Facility) of not less than 1.00 to 1.00. The Company was in compliance with these covenants at March 31, 2022.
The credit agreement and indentures are subject to customary events of default. If an event of default occurs and is continuing, the holders or lenders may elect to accelerate amounts due (except in the case of a bankruptcy event of default, in which case such amounts will automatically become due and payable).
