| Long-Term Debt | Note 4—Long-Term Debt Credit Agreement CRP, the Company’s consolidated subsidiary, has a revolving credit agreement with a syndicate of banks that as of March 31, 2018, had a borrowing base of $575.0 million and elected commitments of $475.0 million. This aggregate commitment by lenders is available to the Company for borrowing. A portion of the revolving credit facility in an aggregate amount not to exceed $15.0 million may be used to issue letters of credit for the account of CRP or other designated subsidiaries of the Company. As of March 31, 2018, the Company had no borrowings outstanding and $474.1 million in available borrowing capacity, which was net of $0.9 million in letters of credit outstanding. The amount available to be borrowed under CRP’s revolving credit facility is subject to a borrowing base that is redetermined semi-annually each April 1 and October 1 by the lenders in their sole discretion. CRP’s credit agreement also allows for two optional borrowing base redeterminations on January 1 and July 1. The borrowing base depends on, among other things, the quantities of CRP’s proved oil and natural gas reserves, estimated cash flows from these reserves and the Company’s commodity hedge positions. Upon a redetermination of the borrowing base, if actual borrowings in excess of the revised borrowing capacity are outstanding, CRP could be required to immediately repay a portion of its debt outstanding under the credit agreement. In connection with the April 2018 semi-annual redetermination, on May 4, 2018 the Company amended and restated its existing credit agreement with a majority of the lenders to the Company’s existing credit agreement. Refer to Note 14—Subsequent Events for additional information on the new credit facility. Interest and commitment fees are accrued based on a borrowing base utilization grid set forth in the credit agreement and are discussed in “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources” later in this Quarterly Report. Commitment fees are accrued on the unused portion of the aggregate lender commitment amount and are included in interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The credit facility provides for interest only payments until October 15, 2019, when the credit agreement expires and all outstanding borrowings are due. CRP’s credit agreement contains restrictive covenants that limit its ability to, among other things: incur additional indebtedness; make investments and loans; enter into mergers; make or declare dividends; enter into commodity hedges exceeding a specified percentage of the Company’s expected production; enter into interest rate hedges exceeding a specified percentage of its outstanding indebtedness; incur liens; sell assets; and engage in transactions with affiliates. CRP’s credit agreement also requires it to maintain compliance with the following financial ratios: (i) a current ratio, which is the ratio of CRP’s consolidated current assets (including unused commitments under its revolving credit facility and excluding non-cash derivative assets and certain restricted cash) to its consolidated current liabilities (excluding the current portion of long-term debt under the credit agreement and non-cash derivative liabilities), of not less than 1.0 to 1.0; and (ii) a leverage ratio, which is the ratio of Total Funded Debt (as defined in CRP’s credit agreement) to consolidated EBITDAX (as defined in CRP’s credit agreement) for the rolling four fiscal quarter period ending on such day, of not greater than 4.0 to 1.0. CRP was in compliance with the covenants and the financial ratios described above as of March 31, 2018 and through the filing of this Quarterly Report. 5.375% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2026 On November 30, 2017, CRP issued at par $400.0 million of 5.375% senior notes due 2026 (the “Senior Notes”) in a 144A private placement that resulted in net proceeds to CRP of $391.0 million, after deducting $9.0 million in debt issuance costs. Interest is payable on the Senior Notes semi-annually in arrears on each January 15 and July 15, commencing July 15, 2018. The Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by each of CRP’s current subsidiaries that guarantee CRP’s revolving credit facility. The Senior Notes are not guaranteed by the Company nor is the Company subject to the terms of the indenture governing the Senior Notes. At any time prior to January 15, 2021, CRP may, on any one or more occasions, redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes with an amount of cash not greater than the net cash proceeds of certain equity offerings at a redemption price equal to 105.375% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes redeemed, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption; provided that at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount issued under the indenture governing the Senior Notes remains outstanding immediately after such redemption, and the redemption occurs within 180 days of the closing date of such equity offering. At any time prior to January 15, 2021, CRP may, on any one or more occasions, redeem all or a part of the Senior Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes redeemed, plus a “make-whole” premium, and any accrued and unpaid interest as of the date of redemption. On and after January 15, 2021, CRP may redeem the Senior Notes, in whole or in part, at redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) equal to 102.688% for the 12-month period beginning on January 15, 2021, 101.344% for the 12-month period beginning January 15, 2022, and 100% beginning on January 15, 2023, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. If CRP experiences certain defined changes of control (and, in some cases, followed by a ratings decline), each holder of the Senior Notes may require CRP to repurchase all or a portion of its Senior Notes for cash at a price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of such Senior Notes, plus any accrued but unpaid interest to the date of repurchase. The indenture governing the Senior Notes contains covenants that, among other things and subject to certain exceptions and qualifications, limit CRP’s ability and the ability of CRP’s restricted subsidiaries to: (i) incur or guarantee additional indebtedness or issue certain types of preferred stock; (ii) pay dividends on capital stock or redeem, repurchase or retire capital stock or subordinated indebtedness; (iii) transfer or sell assets; (iv) make investments; (v) create certain liens; (vi) enter into agreements that restrict dividends or other payments from their subsidiaries to them; (vii) consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of their assets; (viii) engage in transactions with affiliates; and (ix) create unrestricted subsidiaries. CRP was in compliance with these covenants as of March 31, 2018 and through the filing of this Quarterly Report. Upon an Event of Default (as defined in the indenture governing the Senior Notes), the trustee or the holders of at least 25% of the aggregate principal amount of then outstanding Senior Notes may declare the Senior Notes immediately due and payable. In addition, a default resulting from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to CRP, any restricted subsidiary of CRP that is a significant subsidiary, or any group of restricted subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a significant subsidiary, will automatically cause all outstanding Senior Notes to become due and payable. Debt issuance costs netted against the principal balance of the Senior Notes amounted to $9.1 million as of March 31, 2018 and $9.2 million as of December 31, 2017. |
