Announcements, explained
Each one in plain English, with the numbers worked through for a shareholder.
1 Dec 2009capital raising announcement▲ GoodMajor
Energy XXI launched concurrent public offerings of 90 million common shares and $75 million of convertible preferred stock to fund the MitEnergy acquisition, alongside underwriter over-allotment options.
24 Nov 2009material agreement▲ GoodMajor
Even while restructuring its balance sheet, Energy XXI agreed to buy Gulf of Mexico shelf interests from Mitsui subsidiary MitEnergy for $283 million (about $263 million net after adjustments) - mostly non-operated stakes in the same fields it had bought from Pogo Producing in 2007, adding 8,000 boe/day of production (77% oil) with hedges locked in at $73.46/barrel, to be funded with new equity, cash and bank debt.
19 Nov 2009debt financing▼ BadMajor
Energy XXI completed the exchange, swapping $347.5 million of its 10% Senior Notes for $278 million of new 16% Second Lien Notes and raising $60 million more of those notes plus 13.2 million new shares in a concurrent private placement - cutting total face debt somewhat but replacing cheap 10% debt with expensive 16% secured paper, a costly but necessary trade during the crisis.
28 Oct 2009listing compliance notice▼ Bad
Energy XXI Ltd withdrew a registration statement, abandoning the offering it covered.
24 Sept 2009listing compliance notice● NeutralMajor
This amends a Sept 2009 report to add an omitted item reference, and restates the terms of the 2009 debt swap: a bank amendment letting Energy XXI Gulf Coast issue 16% Second Lien Notes, an offer to exchange them for up to $347.5 million of its existing senior notes, and a private sale of $60.0 million of the new notes plus 13,224,720 common shares. The bank borrowing base would be set at $199.0 million once the conditions are met. This is the start of the 2009 crisis-era refinancing, with closing planned for October 5, 2009.
23 Sept 2009debt financing▼ BadMajor
With its first-lien borrowing base already cut to $199 million, Energy XXI amended its credit agreement to clear the way for a distressed debt exchange: swapping at least $311 million of its existing 10% Senior Notes for new 16% Second Lien Notes at a discount (up to $0.80 on the dollar), raising $50 million of fresh cash, and using $41 million of it to pay down bank debt - a real deleveraging move forced by tightening credit conditions during the financial crisis.

31 Mar 2009debt financing▼ BadMajor
The next borrowing-base redetermination cut Energy XXI's revolving credit facility sharply, from $400 million to $240 million, as the 2008-2009 financial crisis and collapsing oil prices hit lender risk appetite - the company expected to end up fully drawn with only $61 million of cash on hand, a real tightening of its liquidity cushion.

10 Feb 2009dividend declaration▲ Good

15 Dec 2008debt financing● NeutralMajor
Energy XXI's semi-annual borrowing-base redetermination kept its revolving credit facility at $400 million, with $280 million drawn and $388 million still available (excluding a $12 million slice Lehman Brothers had committed but, post-collapse, couldn't fund) plus $102 million cash on hand - comfortable liquidity heading into the financial crisis.

12 May 2008business combination● NeutralMajor
Energy XXI filed a registration statement offering holders of its 77,264,872 outstanding $5.00 warrants the chance to swap them for common shares, either 1 share per 5 warrants with no cash, 2 shares per 3 warrants plus $6.35 cash, or 1 share per warrant plus $4.00 cash. The offer was set to expire June 20, 2008. For shareholders, exercising or swapping warrants would mean new shares being issued (an inference on dilution; the filing excerpt does not quantify it).
7 May 2008capital raising announcement● Neutral
Energy XXI filed its Gulf Coast subsidiary's routine Q1 2008 financial statements as required under the indenture for the $750 million of 10% senior notes it had issued in 2007 - a compliance filing, not a new capital raise.
