| Prepayment agreements | Prepayment agreements During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company amended its existing prepayment agreement with Trafigura. The amended agreement provides for total prepayments of up to $350.0 million, including $325.0 million available immediately and an additional $25.0 million available at Trafigura’s sole discretion and includes both Ecuadorian and Colombian crude oil production. The term of the amended prepayment agreement is 48 months. Amounts drawn on this prepayment agreement are to be repaid through future oil deliveries. Shortfalls in crude oil deliveries in any given repayment period can be delivered during the next repayment period within three calendar months or paid in cash thereafter. Amounts under the prepayment facility are subject to interest based on SOFR risk-free rate plus a margin of 4.45% per annum. Under the terms of the prepayment agreement, the Company can repay the outstanding balance of the advance payment at any time without penalty. The Company was granted a grace period for re-payment of the principal amount drawn under the prepayment agreement with first re-payment starting April 2026. Pursuant to the amended and restated prepayment agreement, proceeds from the new advance are required to be used exclusively to finance the re-purchase or exchange of Senior Notes and to pay fees and expenses associated with the amended agreement. The Company is required to maintain compliance with the following financial covenants related to amounts drawn under the prepayment agreement semi-annually, calculated on March 31 and September 30 of each year: i.Asset Coverage Ratio of at least 150%, calculated using the net present value of the consolidated future cash flows of certain wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company that sell crude oil, projected through the final maturity date and discounted at 10% over the outstanding principal and the interest payable amount on the prepayment agreement at each reporting period. The net present value of the consolidated future cash flows of the Company is required to be based on 90% of the prevailing ICE Brent forward strip. ii.Debt Service Coverage Ratio of at least 200%, calculated using the estimated crude oil to be delivered by the Company from any relevant time up to the final maturity date based on 80% of the prevailing ICE Brent forward strip and adjusted for quality differential and transportation discount over the outstanding principal amount under the prepayment agreement. As at June 30, 2026, there was $287.7 million outstanding (December 31, 2025 - $150.0 million) on the oil prepayment agreement. Of this amount, $86.3 million (December 31, 2025 - $34.1 million) was classified as a current portion and included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company drew nil and $166.5 million on oil prepayment and re-paid $28.8 million of the outstanding principal on oil prepayment via crude oil deliveries. As of June 30, 2026, the Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants under the prepayment agreement.
