KOSMOS Energy SuccessfulLY COMPLETES
Reserve Based Lending Facility Re-Determination
DALLAS, Texas, October 14, 2020 - Kosmos Energy (NYSE/LSE: KOS)
("Kosmos" or the "Company") announced today that it has
successfully completed the re-determination of its reserve based
lending credit facility ("RBL").
During the September re-determination, the Company's lending
syndicate approved a borrowing base capacity of $1.32 billion, a
reduction of $130 million from the previous drawn amount of $1.45
billion. The reduction in borrowing base capacity is primarily the
result of lower oil price assumptions from those assumed at the
March re-determination, due to the continuing impact of COVID-19.
Repayment of the reduction in borrowing base will be made from
available liquidity in the fourth quarter.
The RBL is secured against the Company's production assets in
Ghana and Equatorial Guinea with the first amortization payment
scheduled for March 2022. Kosmos' gas assets in Mauritania and
Senegal remain unencumbered.
Following the RBL re-determination, the Company has
approximately $0.5 billion of available liquidity as of October 1,
2020.
" We are pleased to have successfully completed the September
RBL re-determination, and we thank our bank group for its continued
support. With the recently announced Gulf of Mexico facility and
this successful re-determination, the company has secured access to
multiple sources of low cost, flexible financing. Our balance sheet
is expected to be further strengthened by the proceeds of the Shell
transaction this quarter and free cash generated by our low-cost
production, " said Neal Shah, Chief Financial Officer.
