CALGARY, June 3, 2019 /PRNewswire/ - OBSIDIAN ENERGY LTD.
(TSX – OBE, NYSE – OBE.BC) ("Obsidian Energy", the
"Company", "we", "us" or "our")
announces the Company's banking syndicate has extended the
syndicated credit facility redetermination date until June 30, 2019 as the Company completes marketing
of its previously announced unsecured bond offering and as our
partner progresses through its right of first refusal and tag-along
provisions in regard to the Peace River Oil Partnership
disposition. The completion of an unsecured bond offering is
subject to market conditions and acceptable terms. Proceeds of the
offering would be used to repay existing debt.
The borrowing base under the syndicated credit facility will
remain at $550 million with capacity
of $460 million during the extension
period. Additionally, under the terms of the syndicated credit
facility, the Company will be required to have a minimum Liability
Management Rating ("LMR") of 1.50 going forward. Currently,
the Company's LMR is approximately 1.74.
