Oasis extends bid to amend notes to incur debt above borrowing base
By Susanna Moon
Chicago, Oct. 19 – Oasis Petroleum Inc. said it extended three concurrent consent solicitations to amend its 7¼% senior notes due 2019, 6½% senior notes due 2021 and 6 7/8% senior notes due 2023.
Each consent solicitation will end at 5 p.m. ET on Oct. 21, extended from 5 p.m. ET on Oct. 16. Each solicitation is conditioned on the receipt of consents from holders of record as of Oct. 5. The solicitations began Oct. 6.
As previously announced, the amendments would permit the company to incur secured debt under its senior secured revolving credit facility under certain conditions, according to a company press release.
There is about $400 million principal amount of each series of notes outstanding.
The company said it will pay a cash consent fee of $10.00 for each $1,000 principal amount of notes for which consents were delivered. Settlement will occur “promptly” after the solicitation ends, the company said.
The amendments to each notes indenture will become effective upon the execution of a supplemental indenture. At that time, the amendments will become effective and consents may no longer be revoked; however, the amendments will not become operative until the consent fee has been paid.
Oasis said it is making each consent solicitation concurrently with the others, but each consent solicitation is independent of the others.
