Bank Debt

On October 2, 2025, we entered into an amended and restated revolving bank facility (which we refer to as our bank debt or our bank credit facility) which is secured by substantially all of our assets and has a maturity date of October 2, 2030. The bank credit facility provides for a maximum facility amount of $4.0 billion, an initial borrowing base of $3.0 billion and lender commitments of $2.0 billion. The bank credit facility provides for a borrowing base subject to annual re-determinations and for event-driven unscheduled re-determinations. Our current bank group is composed of seventeen financial institutions. The borrowing base may be increased or decreased based on our request and sufficient proved reserves, as determined by the bank group. The commitment amount may be increased to the borrowing base, subject to payment of a mutually acceptable commitment fee to those banks agreeing to participate in the facility increase. Borrowings under the bank facility can either be at the alternate base rate ("ABR," as defined in the bank credit agreement) plus a spread ranging from 0.75% to 1.75% or at the secured overnight financing rate ("SOFR", as defined in the bank credit agreement) plus a spread ranging from 1.75% to 2.75%. The applicable spread is dependent upon borrowings relative to the borrowing base. We may elect, from time to time, to convert all or any part of our SOFR loans to ABR loans or to convert all or any part of our ABR loans to SOFR loans. A commitment fee is paid on the undrawn balance based on an annual rate of 0.375% to 0.50%. At December 31, 2025, the commitment fee was 0.375% and the interest rate margin was 0.75% on our ABR loans and 1.75% on our SOFR loans. Our weighted average interest rate on the bank credit facility was 6.2% for the year ended December 31, 2025 and 8.4% for the year ended December 31, 2023. There was no debt outstanding on our bank credit facility for the year ended December 31, 2024.

On December 31, 2025, bank commitments totaled $2.0 billion and we had $118.0 million outstanding borrowings under our bank credit facility. We had $165.2 million of undrawn letters of credit leaving $1.7 billion of committed borrowing capacity available under the facility.

Senior Notes

If we experience a change of control, noteholders may require us to repurchase all or a portion of our senior notes at 101% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. We currently intend to retire our outstanding long-term debt as it matures, is callable or when market conditions are favorable to repurchase in the open market.

During 2025, we repurchased in the open market $2.2 million principal amount of our 4.875% senior notes due 2025 at a discount. We recognized a gain on early extinguishment of debt of $3,000, net of the remaining debt issuance costs on the repurchased debt. In May 2025, we paid off the remaining principal balance of our 4.875% senior notes due 2025 at par by utilizing cash on hand and by borrowing on our bank credit facility.

On January 15, 2026 we fully redeemed the $600 million principal balance of our 8.25% senior notes due 2029 by utilizing borrowings on our credit facility. The redemption price was equal to 101.375% of par plus accrued and unpaid interest. In first quarter 2026 we expect to recognize an approximate $12.3 million loss on extinguishment of debt that includes transaction call premium costs as well as expensing the remaining unamortized debt issuance costs on the repurchased debt.

Guarantees

Range Resources Corporation is a holding company which owns no operating assets and has no significant operations independent of its subsidiaries. The guarantees by our wholly-owned subsidiaries, which are directly or indirectly owned by Range, of our senior notes and our bank credit facility are full and unconditional and joint and several, subject to certain customary release provisions. The assets, liabilities and results of operations of Range and our guarantor subsidiaries are not materially different than our consolidated financial statements. A subsidiary guarantor may be released from its obligations under the guarantee:

in the event of a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the subsidiary guarantor or a sale or other disposition of all the capital stock of the subsidiary guarantor, to any corporation or other person (including an unrestricted subsidiary of Range) by way of merger, consolidation, or otherwise; or
if Range designates any restricted subsidiary that is a guarantor to be an unrestricted subsidiary in accordance with the terms of the indenture.

Debt Covenants and Maturity

Our bank credit facility contains negative covenants that limit our ability, among other things, to pay cash dividends, incur additional indebtedness, sell assets, enter into certain hedging contracts, change the nature of our business or operations, merge, consolidate, or make certain investments. We are required to maintain a ratio of debt-to-EBITDAX (as defined in the credit agreement) of less than or equal to 3.75x and a minimum current ratio (as defined in the credit agreement) of 1.0x. We were in compliance with applicable covenants under the bank credit facility at December 31, 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.
