Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement, Creation of a Direct Fin
Reimbursement Agreement
On May 23, 2012, Endeavour International Corporation (the "Company") and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Endeavour Energy UK Limited ("Endeavour UK"), entered into a reimbursement agreement (the "Reimbursement Agreement") with Yellow Rock S.a.r.l. (the "Pledgor"), an unaffiliated third party entity in which the Company has no interest or control. The Reimbursement Agreement was entered into in connection with the Pledgor's entry into a credit support arrangement with Nordea Bank Norge ASA (the "LC Provider"), pursuant to which the Pledgor pledged cash, contributed by certain investors (the "Investors"), including affiliates of Smedvig QIF plc, a significant stockholder of the Company, to secure letters of credit issued by the LC Provider for Endeavour UK's account in the amount of £20.6 million (approximately $32.3 million as of May 23, 2012). Concurrent with the issuance of the letters of credit, the restrictions on £20.6 million of the Company's restricted cash were removed and the cash was returned to the Company for general corporate purposes. The letters of credit secure decommissioning obligations in connection with certain of Endeavour UK's United Kingdom Continental Shelf Petroleum Production Licences and have been outstanding and unchanged since 2006.
Under the Reimbursement Agreement, Endeavour UK agrees to reimburse the Pledgor in the event that the letters of credit are drawn and the pledged cash must be paid to the LC Provider. The Reimbursement Agreement also provides that Endeavour UK must pay a fee computed at a rate of 11.5% per year on the outstanding amount of each letter of credit (capitalized quarterly and payable upon release of the letters of credit), along with an initial fee equal to 2% on the initial outstanding amount of each letter of credit. If Endeavour UK has not obtained replacement letters of credit before May 22, 2013 (the expiration date of the letters of credit), then it must reimburse Pledgor for all amounts owed to the LC Provider at such time, along with a fee equal to 1% of the outstanding letters of credit. The Reimbursement Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and non-financial covenants. The Company unconditionally guarantees Endeavour UK's obligations under the Reimbursement Agreement.
The foregoing is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Reimbursement Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
Warrant Agreements
In connection with the Reimbursement Agreement, on May 23, 2012, the Company entered into a Warrant Agreement to Purchase Common Stock with each of the Investors (collectively, the "Warrant Agreements"). The terms of all of the Warrant Agreements are substantially identical. Pursuant to Warrant Agreements, the Company issued the Investors warrants (the "Warrants") to purchase a total of 2,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $10.50 per share (the "Exercise Price"). The Warrants expire on January 24, 2016 (the "Expiration Date") and are subject to customary anti-dilution provisions The Company has also agreed to provide the Investors with customary resale registration rights as soon as reasonably practicable.
The Warrant Agreements include a cashless exercise provision entitling each Investor to surrender a portion of the underlying common stock that has a value equal to the aggregate exercise price in lieu of paying cash upon exercise of a Warrant. In addition, any in-the-money Warrants still outstanding at the Expiration Date are subject to an automatic cashless exercise.
The above-referenced issuances were not registered under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") and qualified for exemption under
Section 4(2) and Regulation S of the Securities, because the issuance of
securities by the Company did not involve a public offering and the issuance was
an "offshore transaction" (as defined in Regulation S).
The foregoing is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Warrant Agreements, the form of which is filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
The information set forth in Item 1.01 above is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03.
