Oasis Petroleum completed the sale of its remaining Bobcat and Beartooth midstream interests to Oasis Midstream Partners LP, finishing the simplification announced the previous month.
Oasis agreed to contribute its remaining 64.7% of Bobcat DevCo and 30% of Beartooth DevCo to Oasis Midstream Partners for $229.0 million cash and 12,949,644 units. The partnership's incentive distribution rights were also cancelled and converted into 1,850,356 units.
Oasis amended its credit agreement on Feb 19, 2021 to allow up to $25 million of restricted payments until October 1, 2021, with no more than $10 million in any quarter. It also announced year-end 2020 results, a 2021 outlook and its first dividend.
On Nov 10, 2020 the bankruptcy court confirmed Oasis's prepackaged Chapter 11 plan; the company targeted taking effect within about 30 days. On the effective date all existing funded debt is discharged and the existing common stock (320,920,039 shares outstanding as of Nov 10, 2020) is cancelled. Noteholders receive the new common stock and old shareholders receive only a share of new warrants. Exit financing is a reserve-based revolver of up to $1.5 billion, with an initial borrowing base of $575 million. This resolves the bankruptcy thread opened Sept 30, 2020, although the plan was not yet effective.
Oasis Petroleum signed a restructuring support agreement with its bank lenders and some noteholders on Sept 29, 2020, ahead of a prepackaged Chapter 11 filing due by Sept 30, 2020. Under the plan, noteholders get 100% of the new common stock (subject to dilution from management incentive shares and warrants), while existing shareholders get only a pro rata share of new warrants. A $450 million debtor-in-possession loan was committed and the plan was to take effect by Dec 20, 2020. This follows the Nasdaq notice and the hedge unwind and is the filing that begins the bankruptcy.
Nasdaq notified Oasis Petroleum that its stock no longer met listing requirements, another marker of the distress that preceded its bankruptcy filing weeks later.
