Item 1.01      Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

Repricing Amendment to Senior Secured Term Loan Agreement

 

On April 22, 2013, EP Energy LLC (the “Registrant”) announced that it is seeking a repricing amendment of its existing senior secured term loan agreement to reduce the interest rate on its $750 million outstanding principal amount of existing Tranche B-1 Term Loans (such repriced loans referred to as the “Tranche B-3 Loans”), subject to market and other conditions.

 

On May 2, 2013, the Registrant entered into a repricing amendment to its existing senior secured term loan agreement for the Tranche B-3 Loans, which was expected to close and become effective on May 24, 2013.

 

On May 24, 2013, the Registrant successfully closed on the repricing amendment to its existing senior secured term loan agreement for the Tranche B-3 Loans.  As a result of the repricing amendment, the LIBOR floor and the margin applicable to the Tranche B-3 Loans were reduced to 0.75% and 2.75%, respectively.  The Tranche B-3 Loans are prepayable at any time without premium or penalty; provided, however, that there is a 1.00% fee in connection with any repricing of the Tranche B-3 Loans that reduces the interest rate of the Tranche B-3 Loans (or any prepayment of the Tranche B-3 Loans with proceeds of new term loans or debt securities having lower applicable margins or applicable yield than the margin applicable to the Tranche B-3 Loans) prior to the date that is 6 months after the closing of the amendment.
