Ring Energy Announces Credit Facility Extension and Amendment
THE WOODLANDS, Texas, June 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Ring Energy, Inc. (NYSE American: REI) (“Ring” or the “Company”) today announced that the borrowing base was affirmed at $585 million under its $1.0 billion senior secured credit facility (the “Credit Facility”). In addition, the Credit Facility term was extended to June 2029, and Bank of America, N.A. was named as new Administrative Agent.
KEY HIGHLIGHTS
- Entered into a Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with a borrowing base of $585 million;
- Extended Credit Facility term 34 months to June 2029, supported by an 11-member banking syndicate;
- Reflects a 25 basis point reduction in the Applicable Margin pricing grid; and
- Next regularly scheduled bank redetermination to occur during the fall of 2025.
Paul D. McKinney, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Ring has worked to strengthen our balance sheet and improve the quality of assets supporting our Credit Facility. We value the ongoing support from our bank group and are pleased to have Bank of America as our new administrative agent. Despite oil and gas price volatility in 2025, our asset base enabled us to maintain a sufficient borrowing base, with only a slight reduction from last year. We continue to focus on generating free cash flow through cost reductions, divestitures of non-core assets, and acquiring high-margin, low-break-even assets, using excess cash to reduce debt and create value for stockholders across commodity price cycles.”
We further expanded our banking relationships by adding Citibank, N.A. to the syndicate which now includes Bank of America, N.A., Citizens Bank, N.A., KeyBanc National Association, Mizuho Bank, Ltd., Truist Bank, U.S. Bank National Association, Cathay Bank, First Horizon Bank, Amegy Bank and Goldman Sachs Lending Partners, LLC.
