22 Nov 2021asset acquisition disposition● NeutralMajor
On November 19, 2021 SilverBow closed its purchase of Eagle Ford oil and gas assets from Teal Natural Resources and Castlerock Production, the deal announced October 8. The price was about $75 million: $45 million in cash and 1,351,961 new shares. This resolves the pending acquisition and the earlier question about its closing date; the new shares dilute existing holders, and the company says it will file to allow public resale of them.
On November 12, 2021 SilverBow amended both its bank credit facility and its second lien notes. The borrowing base rose from $300 million to $460 million (limited until a previously disclosed acquisition closes), and the maximum credit amount rose from $600 million to $1 billion. The second lien notes' maturity moves from December 2024 to December 2026 once $50 million is redeemed by February 15, 2022, which would cut them from $200 million to $150 million. This supports the earlier acquisitions with more borrowing room and pushes out a debt maturity, with tighter debt limits on the notes.

On October 8, 2021 SilverBow agreed to buy Eagle Ford oil assets from Teal Natural Resources and Castlerock Production for about $75 million: $45 million cash plus about $30 million in stock (at least 1,351,961 shares). Closing is expected before year-end 2021, and either side can terminate if it has not closed by December 20, 2021. The cash is to come from cash on hand and revolver borrowings, and the press release calls it the third acquisition since early August and the largest so far. It adds more shares and more debt to the company's balance sheet.
13 Aug 2021capital raising announcement● NeutralMajor
On August 12, 2021 SilverBow agreed to buy Eagle Ford oil and gas assets from undisclosed sellers for about $33 million, paid entirely in 1,514,457 new shares of its stock, with closing expected around October 1, 2021. The press release cites about 45,000 net acres and April 2021 net production of about 1,580 barrels of oil equivalent per day. Existing shareholders will be diluted by the new shares. The CEO describes it as the second acquisition announced since early August.
On August 13, 2021 SilverBow set up an at-the-market programme with Johnson Rice and Truist Securities, allowing it to sell up to $40 million of new common stock over time, with a 3.0% commission to the agents. Proceeds are for general purposes, including capital spending, debt repayment or acquisitions. Any shares sold would add to the share count; the filing does not say whether any have been sold.
On April 16, 2021 SilverBow and its bank group signed the Seventh Amendment to the revolving credit agreement: the borrowing base was cut from $310 million to $300 million and the maturity was pushed from April 19, 2022 to April 19, 2024. The interest margin rose 50 basis points, the allowed debt-to-EBITDA limit tightened (to 3.25x, then 3.00x from March 31, 2022), and a 50% minimum hedging requirement over 24 months was added. The attached press release says borrowings were $200 million at March 31, 2021 (down $30 million in the quarter), and reports a first Webb County Austin Chalk well averaging 12.9 MMcf/d over its first 30 days. This replaces the April 2022 maturity noted earlier.
