Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
On July 31, 2023, OLLC and Amplify Acquisitionco LLC (“Acquisitionco”), as the direct parent of OLLC and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), providing for a senior secured reserve-based revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). The Revolving Credit Facility is guaranteed by the Company and all of its material subsidiaries and secured by substantially all of its assets. The Revolving Credit Facility matures on July 31, 2027, and is a replacement in full of the prior Revolving Credit Facility, by and among OLLC, Acquisitionco, the guarantors party thereto, the lenders party thereto and KeyBank National Association, as administrative agent (as amended, the “Prior Revolving Credit Facility”).
The aggregate principal amount of loans outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility as of December 31, 2024, was $127.0 million. The borrowing base under the facility is $145.0 million with elected commitments of $145.0 million at December 31, 2024. The Revolving Credit Facility borrowing base will be redetermined on a semi-annual basis based on an engineering report with respect to the Company’s estimated oil, NGL, and natural gas reserves, which will take into account the prevailing oil, NGL and natural gas prices at such time, as adjusted for the impact of commodity derivative contracts. Unanimous approval by the lenders is required for any increase to the borrowing base.
Certain key terms and conditions under the Revolving Credit Facility include (but are not limited to):
| ● | A maturity date of July 31, 2027; |
| ● | The loans shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (i) adjusted SOFR or (ii) an adjusted base rate, plus an applicable margin based on a utilization ratio of the lesser of the borrowing base and the aggregate commitments. The applicable margin ranges from 2.00% to 3.00% for adjusted base rate borrowings, and 3.00% to 4.00% for adjusted SOFR borrowings; |
| ● | The unused commitments under the facility will accrue a commitment fee of 0.50%, payable quarterly in arrears; |
| ● | Certain financial covenants, including the maintenance of (i) a net debt leverage ratio not to exceed 3.00 to 1.00, determined as of the last day of each fiscal quarter for the four fiscal-quarter period then ending and (ii) a current ratio of not less than 1.00 to 1.00, determined as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, in each case commencing with the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2023; |
| ● | Certain events of default, including, without limitation: non-payment; breaches of representations and warranties; non-compliance with covenants or other agreements; cross-default to material indebtedness; judgments; change of control; and voluntary and involuntary bankruptcy; and |
| ● | Initial minimum hedging requirements covering 75% of the reasonably projected monthly production of hydrocarbons from proved developed producing reserves for the 24-month period following the effective date of the Revolving Credit Facility (the “First Period”) and (ii) 50% for the 12-month period immediately following the First Period. |
On October 25, 2024, OLLC entered into an amendment to the Revolving Credit Facility, which, among other things, (i) reduced the borrowing base under the Revolving Credit Facility from $150.0 million to $145.0 million, (ii) increased the aggregate elected commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility from $135.0 million to $145.0 million and (iii) amended certain interest rates applicable to loans under the Revolving Credit Facility. The next redetermination is expected in the spring of 2025.

About Debt Disclosures
Debt disclosures detail a company's borrowing structure — the types of instruments, interest rates, maturity schedule, and covenant restrictions that define its financial obligations and flexibility. This section is essential for assessing refinancing risk, interest rate exposure, and the margin of safety against financial distress.
Key signals: the maturity schedule reveals concentration risk — large maturities within 1-2 years during tight credit markets can force dilutive refinancing or asset sales. Compare the fair value of debt against carrying amount to gauge whether the market views the company's credit risk differently than the balance sheet suggests. Watch covenant compliance disclosures for tightening cushions, especially leverage and interest coverage ratios. Variable-rate debt exposure quantifies sensitivity to interest rate changes. Secured versus unsecured mix affects recovery rates and future borrowing capacity. Compare net debt-to-EBITDA against industry peers and covenant limits to assess financial health.
