Knoxville, Tenn., Jan. 13 – Lilis Energy Inc. said it negotiated a $50 million credit facility agreement with Heartland Bank as agent and investor. The company has already drawn $3 million.

The loan matures on Jan. 8, 2018. Its coupon is equal to Prime plus 625 to 850 basis points.

Heartland Bank was paid a $75,000 commitment fee and will receive 75,000 five-year warrants for every $1 million invested, each exercisable at $2.50. The strike price is a 316.67% premium to the Jan. 12 closing share price of $0.60.

Roth Capital Partners sourced the facility was a financial advisor to Lilis.

Proceeds will be used to purchase oil and gas assets, for development projects, a debt service reserve account and general working capital needs.
