On March 29, 2021, Vine Energy Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) issued a press release announcing that, subject to market and other conditions, the Company’s subsidiary, Vine Energy Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, intends to offer for sale $950 million in aggregate principal amount of new senior unsecured notes due 2029 in a private offering to eligible purchasers that is exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. As of March 25, 2021, after giving effect to our initial public offering and related transactions, we had available capacity of $296 million (after giving effect to approximately $26 million of letters of credit), resulting in liquidity of approximately $410 million. As of December 31, 2020, after giving effect to this notes offering, the initial public offering and the use of proceeds therefrom (including the repayment in full and termination of each of our prior revolving credit facility and the revolving credit facility of Brix Operating LLC), we would have had approximately $58 million of outstanding borrowings under our new revolving credit facility (excluding approximately $26 million of letters of credit outstanding), approximately $150 million of outstanding borrowings under our second lien term loan and $950 million of notes offered hereby. As of the same date, after giving effect to this notes offering and our use of proceeds therefrom, we expect we would have had approximately $266 million of available capacity under our new revolving credit facility, resulting in liquidity of approximately $291 million.

A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this report and incorporated herein by reference.

This report is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities and shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy, or a sale of, any securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.
