Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Agreements and Instruments Relating to the Securities Purchase Agreement
On February 8, 2012, RAM Energy Resources, Inc. (the “Company”) consummated and closed the transactions contemplated under the previously announced Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) entered into between the Company and Halcon Resources, LLC (“Halcon LLC”) on December 21, 2011. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company issued 220 million shares of common stock (the “Shares”), representing approximately 74% of the Company’s outstanding common stock, an 8% senior convertible promissory note due 2017 in the principal amount of $275 million (the “Note”), and five-year warrants to purchase up to an additional 110 million shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $1.50 per share (the “Warrants”), in exchange for $550 million in cash from Halcon LLC. After giving effect to the one-for-three reverse stock split effective as of February 10, 2012 (the “Reserve Stock Split”), the number of Shares will be proportionately reduced to approximately 73.3 million shares of common stock, the number of shares of common stock for which the Warrant is exercisable will be proportionately reduced to approximately 36.7 million shares of common stock, and the exercise price of the Warrant and the conversion price of the Note will be proportionately increased to $4.50 per share. For more information regarding the Reverse Stock Split, see Item 5.03 below, which is incorporated herein by reference.
In connection with the closing of the transactions contemplated in the Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with Halcon LLC, which gives Halcon LLC certain demand and piggyback registration rights for the Shares and the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Note and exercise of the Warrant. The terms of the Note, the Warrants and the Registration Rights Agreement are summarized below. Such summary is qualified by reference to the full text of such agreements, which are attached hereto as Exhibits 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 respectively, and incorporated herein by reference.
The Note is the senior unsecured obligation of the Company and will mature on February 8, 2017, at which time all of the outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest will be due and payable. Absent a default, no installments of principal will be due prior to maturity of the Note. Interest on the Note is payable quarterly at the rate of 8% per annum, which will increase to 15% per annum in the event of default. The Company has the option through March 31, 2014 to pay all or any portion of a required interest payment “in-kind” by adding the unpaid interest to principal. At any time after February 8, 2014, the Company may prepay the Note without premium or penalty, and the noteholder may elect to convert all or any portion of unpaid principal and interest outstanding under the Note to shares of Company common stock at a conversion price of $1.50 per share (or $4.50 per share after giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split), subject to adjustments for stock splits and other customary anti-dilution provisions.
The Warrants have a term of five years and have an exercise price of $1.50 per share (or $4.50 per share after giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split), subject to adjustments for stock splits and other customary anti-dilution provisions. The exercise price may be paid in cash, by relinquishing a number of Warrants or shares of common stock having a fair market value equal to the exercise price, or a combination of cash and shares.
The Registration Rights Agreement gives Halcon LLC the right to require the Company, at its expense and on up to three occasions, to register for public sale the Shares and any shares of common stock acquired upon the exercise of the Warrants and conversion of the Note. The Registration Rights Agreement also provides Halcon LLC with piggyback registration rights with respect to registrations of the offer and sale of any shares of the Company’s common stock that the Company may effect for its own account or for the benefit of other selling stockholders.
The Company utilized approximately $210.8 million of the proceeds from the closing of the Purchase Agreement to repay all amounts outstanding under the Company’s first lien revolving credit facility with SunTrust Bank and its second lien term loan facility with Guggenheim Corporate Funding, LLC, which facilities were terminated upon closing. Immediately following closing, the Company entered into a new senior revolving credit facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., the terms of which are summarized below.
New Revolving Credit Facility
On February 8, 2012, the Company, as borrower, entered into a Senior Revolving Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with each of the lenders party thereto (the “Lenders”), JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent for the Lenders, the syndication agent named therein and the documentation agent named therein. The Credit Agreement provides for a $500,000,000 facility with an initial borrowing base of $225,000,000. The borrowing base will be redetermined semi-annually, with the Company and the Lenders each having the right to one interim unscheduled redetermination between any two consecutive semi-annual redeterminations. The adjustment will be based on the Company’s oil and natural gas properties, reserves, total indebtedness and other relevant factors consistent with normal oil and gas lending criteria. The borrowing base is subject to a reduction equal to the product of 0.25 multiplied by the stated principal amount (without regard to any initial issue discount) of any notes that the Company may issue.
Amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement bear interest at specified margins over the base rate of 0.50% to 1.50% for ABR-based loans or at specified margins over LIBOR of 1.50% to 2.50% for Eurodollar-based loans. Such margins will fluctuate based on the Company’s utilization of the facility. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement will be secured by (a) first priority liens on at least 80% of the total value of substantially all of the Company’s oil and gas properties and assets, (b) pursuant to the terms of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, all of the assets of, and equity interests in, the Company’s participating subsidiaries, and (c) not less than 65% of the voting stock and 100% of the non-voting stock of certain other subsidiaries. Amounts drawn down on the facility will mature on February 8, 2017.
The Credit Agreement contains customary financial and other covenants, including minimum coverage of interest expenses of not less than 2.5 to 1.0 and minimum working capital levels, measured by the ratio of current assets plus the unused commitment under the Credit Agreement to current liabilities, of not less than 1.0 to 1.0. In addition, the Company is subject to covenants limiting certain corporate activities, dividends and other restricted payments, transactions with affiliates, incurrence of debt, changes of control, asset sales, liens on properties and swap agreements.
The foregoing is a summary of the material terms of the Credit Agreement and is qualified by reference to the Credit Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
Amendment to 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan
Effective upon the closing of the Purchase Agreement, a majority of the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan to increase the number of shares authorized for issuance thereunder from 7,400,000 shares to 11,100,000 shares of common stock. A copy of the amendment to the 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.3 and is incorporated herein by reference. As a consequence of the Reverse Stock Split effective as of February 10, 2012, the number of shares authorized under the 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan will be proportionately reduced to approximately 3,700,000 shares of common stock. For more information regarding the Reverse Stock Split, see Item 5.03 below, which is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.
On February 8, 2012, in connection with the transactions discussed under Item 1.01, the Company repaid all amounts outstanding under and terminated the Company’s first lien revolving credit facility with SunTrust Bank and its second lien term loan facility with Guggenheim Corporate Funding, LLC. For the circumstances relating to the termination, see Item 1.01, which is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
As discussed under Item 1.01, on February 8, 2012, the Company (i) issued an 8% senior convertible promissory note due 2017 in the principal amount of $275 million to Halcon LLC and (ii) entered into a new $500,000,000 credit facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent for the lenders, which credit facility has an initial borrowing base of $225,000,000. See Item 1.01 above, which is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
As discussed under Item 1.01, the Company issued and sold the Shares, the Note and the Warrants to Halcon LLC on February 8, 2012, in exchange for aggregate cash consideration of $550 million, before transaction expenses, of which $275 million is attributable to the Shares and $275 million is attributable to the Warrants and the Note. The Shares, the Note and the Warrants were issued and sold in a private placement exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.
Item 3.03 Material Modification to the Rights of Security Holders.
The disclosure under Item 1.01 regarding the restrictions set forth in the Credit Agreement on declaring dividends on the Company’s common stock is also responsive to this Item 3.03 and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 5.01 Changes in Control of Registrant.
The issuance of the Shares and the closing of the transactions contemplated in the Purchase Agreement, which are discussed in Item 1.01 and incorporated herein by reference, resulted in a change in control of the Company within the meaning of Item 5.01 of Form 8-K. As a result of the issuance of the Shares, Halcon LLC owns approximately 74% of the Company’s outstanding common stock. The members of Halcon LLC entered into a voting agreement, dated December 20, 2011, that provides in the event Halcon LLC acquires a controlling interest in a publicly traded company, Halcon LLC will vote its shares to elect a board of directors consisting of nine members to be designated by the various members of Halcon LLC at any annual or special meeting of the publicly traded company at which directors are elected, which could influence the composition of the board of directors.
Upon the closing of the transactions contemplated in the Purchase Agreement and in accordance with the terms thereof, on February 8, 2012, the four incumbent members of the Company’s board of directors resigned and the individuals set forth in Item 5.02 below were appointed in their place.
