Senior secured revolving line of credit. The Company has a senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) that matures on November 3, 2029. The Credit Facility’s borrowing base is subject to redetermination semi-annually, on or about April 1 and October 1. The most recent redetermination was completed in May 2026 and reaffirmed the borrowing base and the aggregate elected commitment at $2.75 billion and $2.0 billion, respectively. The next redetermination is scheduled for October 2026.
At June 30, 2026, the Company had no borrowings outstanding and $30.4 million of outstanding letters of credit issued under the Credit Facility, resulting in an unused borrowing capacity of $1,969.6 million. At December 31, 2025, the Company had no borrowings outstanding and $32.8 million of outstanding letters of credit issued under the Credit Facility, resulting in an unused borrowing capacity of $1,967.2 million.
During both the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the weighted average interest rate incurred on borrowings on the Credit Facility was 7.50%. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the weighted average interest rate was 6.56% and 6.47%, respectively. The Company was in compliance with the financial covenants under the Credit Facility at June 30, 2026. The fair value of the Credit Facility approximates its carrying value since borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at variable rates, which are tied to current market rates.
Borrowings are subject to varying rates of interest based on (i) the total outstanding borrowings (including the value of all outstanding letters of credit) in relation to the borrowing base and (ii) whether the loan is a Term SOFR Loan, an ABR Loan or a Swingline Loan (each as defined in the Credit Facility). The Company incurs interest on outstanding loans at their respective interest rates plus a margin rate ranging between 1.75% to 2.75% for Term SOFR Loans and 0.75% to 1.75% for ABR Loans or Swingline Loans. The unused borrowing base is subject to a commitment fee ranging between 0.375% to 0.500%.
2030 Senior Notes. On September 30, 2025, the Company issued in a private placement $750.0 million of 6.000% senior unsecured notes due October 1, 2030 (the “2030 Senior Notes”). The 2030 Senior Notes were issued at par and resulted in proceeds of $739.6 million, after deducting underwriters’ discounts, commissions and other expenses. Interest on the 2030 Senior Notes is payable semi-annually on April 1 and October 1 of each year, beginning April 1, 2026. The proceeds were used (i) to fund the 2025 Williston Basin Acquisition and to pay related costs and expenses, (ii) to pay fees and expenses associated with the offering of the 2030 Senior Notes and (iii) for general corporate purposes, including repayment of a portion of the borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility. In connection with the issuance of the 2030 Senior Notes, the Company recorded deferred financing costs of $10.4 million, which are amortized to interest expense on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations over the term of the 2030 Senior Notes. As of June 30, 2026, the fair value of the 2030 Senior Notes, which are traded among qualified institutional investors and represent a Level 1 fair value measurement, was $753.2 million.
2033 Senior Notes. On March 13, 2025, the Company issued in a private placement $750.0 million of 6.750% senior unsecured notes due March 15, 2033 (the “2033 Senior Notes”). The 2033 Senior Notes were issued at par and resulted in proceeds of $738.8 million, after deducting underwriters’ discounts, commissions and other expenses. Interest on the 2033 Senior Notes is payable semi-annually on March 15 and September 15 of each year, which began on September 15, 2025. The proceeds were used to repurchase the 2026 Senior Notes (as defined below) tendered in a concurrent tender offer, to satisfy and discharge the remaining 2026 Senior Notes not tendered in the concurrent tender offer (which were redeemed on June 1, 2025) and to repay a portion of the borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility. In connection with the issuance of the 2033 Senior Notes, the Company recorded deferred financing costs of $11.6 million, which are amortized to interest expense on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations over the term of the 2033 Senior Notes. As of June 30, 2026, the fair value of the 2033 Senior Notes, which are traded among qualified institutional investors and represent a Level 1 fair value measurement, was $761.1 million.
The 2030 Senior Notes and the 2033 Senior Notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by certain subsidiaries of the Company (the “Chord Guarantors”). These guarantees are full and unconditional and joint and several among the Chord Guarantors, subject to certain customary release provisions. The indentures governing the 2030 Senior Notes and the 2033 Senior Notes contain customary events of default as well as cross-default provisions with other indebtedness of Chord and its restricted subsidiaries.
2026 Senior Notes. At December 31, 2024, the Company had $400.0 million of 6.375% senior unsecured notes outstanding due June 1, 2026 (the “2026 Senior Notes”). Concurrent with the issuance of the 2033 Senior Notes on March 13, 2025, the purchase and satisfaction and discharge of the 2026 Senior Notes resulted in a loss on debt extinguishment of $3.5 million, primarily including the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs of $2.1 million and a premium paid to redeem a portion of the 2026 Senior Notes totaling $1.1 million.
