PDC Energy’s Borrowing Base on Revolving Credit Facility Re-Affirmed at $700 Million; 3.25% Convertible Senior Notes Settled Today

2016-05-16 16:24 ET - News Release

DENVER, May 16, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PDC Energy, Inc. (“PDC” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq:PDCE) announced today that the borrowing base on its revolving credit facility has been re-affirmed at $700 million and that the Company has elected to keep its commitment level at $450 million.

Also today, as previously announced, the Company settled its “3.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2016”.  The Company paid the principal balance plus cash for fractional shares totaling $115,000,534, utilizing proceeds from its March 2016 equity offering.  Additionally, the Company issued 792,406 shares of common stock for the premium in excess of the conversion price of $42.40 per share.

Chief Financial Officer Gysle Shellum stated, “We fully appreciate the support of our bank group in re-affirming our borrowing base, especially considering current commodity prices.  Additionally, our recent equity offering allowed us to fund the cash portion of our matured convertible senior notes, thereby reducing debt while maintaining cash for general corporate purposes.  While we expect to closely align spending with cash flow this year, the liquidity from our undrawn borrowing base and remaining cash gives us great flexibility to execute on our strategic vision of increasing shareholder value by maintaining a strong balance sheet while delivering long term growth.”
