6. Credit Facility
On January 5, 2022, the Company entered into a -year credit agreement (as amended to date, the “Credit Agreement”) with FirstBank Southwest (“FirstBank”) as administrative agent for one or more lenders (the “Lenders”), which provided for a revolving line of credit with an initial borrowing base of $15 million, and a maximum credit amount of $100 million. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are collateralized by a first priority, perfected lien and security interests on substantially all assets of the Company (subject to permitted liens and other customary exceptions). On July 26, 2022, the Company entered into a letter agreement with FirstBank whereby it increased the borrowing base under the Credit Agreement from $15 million to $20 million. Under the Credit Agreement, revolving loans may be borrowed, repaid and re-borrowed until January 5, 2026, when all outstanding amounts must be repaid.
On September 16, 2025, effective August 1, 2025, the Company entered into a First Amendment to Credit Agreement and Limited Waiver ("Amendment") with FirstBank, as administrative agent for the lenders party thereto, and such lenders. Significant revisions made to the Credit Amendment as a result of the Amendment include extending the maturity date of amounts owed from January 5, 2026 to May 31, 2029, lowering the borrowing base from $20 million to $10 million and deferring the next test period for the ratio of total debt to EBITDAX to March 31, 2026. During 2025, the Company expensed $53 thousand of remaining capitalized deferred financing costs associated with the Credit Agreement and capitalized $60 thousand of deferred financing costs attributable to the Amendment.
The Credit Agreement contains various restrictive covenants and compliance requirements, which include: (i) maintenance of certain financial ratios, as defined in the Credit Agreement tested quarterly, that limit the Company’s ratio of total debt to EBITDAX (as defined in the Credit Agreement) to and require its ratio of consolidated current assets to consolidated current liabilities (as each is described in the Credit Agreement) to remain at or higher; (ii) restrictions on making certain payments as defined in the Credit Agreement, including the payment of cash dividends and repurchases of equity interests (subject to certain limited rights to make restricted payments as long as no event of default has occurred, or would result from the restricted payment, certain financial ratios are met and the borrowing availability after giving pro forma effect to any borrowing to be made on the date of the restricted payment is greater than, or equal to, 20% of the then existing borrowing base); (iii) limits on the incurrence of additional indebtedness; (iv) a prohibition on the entry into commodity swap contracts exceeding a specified percentage of our expected production; and (v) restrictions on the disposition of assets.
On April 17, 2026, the Company entered into a Second Amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to its Credit Agreement. The Second Amendment, among other things, (i) increased the borrowing base from $10.0 million to $20.0 million, (ii) revised the applicable margin on outstanding borrowings to a fixed 2.00% per annum, (iii) suspended testing of financial covenants through the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2027, and (iv) made certain other modifications to the Credit Agreement.
Under the Credit Agreement, revolving loans may be borrowed, repaid and re-borrowed until May 31, 2029, when all outstanding amounts must be repaid. In addition, there is a fee on the unused borrowing commitment of 0.5%. Interest expense from drawn balances recognized on the Credit Agreement and the weighted average interest rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 are presented in the following table:
