Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
On February 11, 2016, Chaparral Energy, Inc. (the “Company”) borrowed $141.0 million under the Eighth Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of April 12, 2010, by and among the Company, as borrower, JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto, as amended and currently in effect (the “Credit Facility”), which represents substantially all of the remaining undrawn amount that was available under the Credit Facility. These funds are intended to be used for general corporate purposes.
As of February 11, 2016, following the funding of this borrowing, the aggregate principal amount of borrowings under the Credit Facility was $548.0 million. This is in addition to $828,000 of outstanding letters of credit. These new borrowings initially bear interest at the ‘alternate base rate’ which is the greatest of (i) the prime rate published by the administrative agent under the Credit Facility, (ii) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, or (iii) the ‘adjusted LIBO rate’ (as defined in the Credit Facility) plus 1.00%, plus, in each case, an applicable margin of 1.50%.
Item 8.01. Other Events.
The Company has retained Evercore and Latham & Watkins, LLP to advise the Company and assist in analyzing and considering financial, transactional, and strategic alternatives.
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
