Refinancing lowers interest rate, reduces amortization, and increases liquidity

Presidio Production Company (NYSE: FTW) ("Presidio" or the "Company"), a differentiated oil and gas operator focused on the acquisition and optimization of mature, producing oil and natural gas assets in the United States, today announced the closing of a $350 million investment grade refinancing of its prior asset-backed securitization (the “ABS”), at a weighted average coupon of 6.38%. The transaction reduced the Company’s interest rate and reduced scheduled amortization, enhancing free cash flow available for dividends.

The ABS was issued in two investment grade tranches: $175 million of 5.902% Class A-1 notes, and $175 million of 6.717% Class A-2 notes, each due in 2041. The ABS was issued at 184 basis points less than the weighted average coupon of the Company’s prior ABS.

Proceeds from the ABS were used to refinance Presidio's prior ABS, to pay down $37 million drawn under the Company's reserve-based lending facility (the “RBL”), for $35 million of additional hedges, and for expenses and general corporate purposes. Following the transaction, the RBL remains in place with a $65 million borrowing base, and is available and undrawn.

“This refinancing is a milestone that strengthens the foundation of our business. We have lowered our cost of capital, reduced near-term interest and amortization, and created additional liquidity to pursue growth, all while keeping our capital structure simple,” said Will Ulrich, Chairman and co-CEO of Presidio. “The refinancing highlights the competitive advantage of a deep and efficient ABS end-market, which when paired with our ABS warehouse facility, provides a complete solution for financing PDP acquisitions.”

John Brawley, EVP & CFO of Presidio, added, “Lowering our cost of capital is a significant competitive advantage in the PDP acquisition market. With a lower-cost capital structure in place, we can underwrite acquisitions more aggressively than higher-cost buyers, while preserving the returns we deliver to shareholders. This positions us to continue consolidating producing oil and gas assets on attractive terms.”

Highlights of the ABS:

• $350 million aggregate principal amount issued across two investment grade tranches (Class A-1 and Class A-2)
  • $263 million used to pay off existing ABS debt, accrued interest and make-whole fees
  • $37 million used to pay down the Company's RBL ($65 million borrowing base), which remains in place, available and undrawn following pay down
  • $35 million used for additional hedge protection
  • Remainder used for transaction fees, expenses and general corporate purposes
• Weighted-average ABS coupon reduced by 184 bps (from 8.22% to 6.38%)
• Anticipated Repayment Date (“ARD”) structure implemented to lower annual amortization in the first 5 years
• ABS structured with a master trust and innovative, first-of-its-kind oil and gas ABS make-whole provisions to allow for asset dropdowns, efficient refinancing, and a simpler capital structure following acquisitions
  • ABS redeemable at the Company's option at 102% prior to year 1, 101% prior to year 2, and 100% (par) thereafter
