Quicksilver Resources Announces $200 Million Expansion of Senior Credit Facility
Quicksilver Resources Inc. (NYSE: KWK)
announced that effective November 30th, the company has received increased
commitments under its senior credit facility to enable it to borrow up to
$600 million under the facility, representing an additional $200 million in
liquidity. The additional commitment in the five-year revolving credit
facility was absorbed by the existing group of 14 major U.S. and
international banks led by J.P. Morgan Securities, Inc., BNP Paribas and
Bank of America Securities, LLC. The facility commitments, which expire in
July 2009, are allocated among U.S. and Canadian funds. The amendment to
the Combined Credit Agreement also increased the amount of other
indebtedness that Quicksilver is permitted to have outstanding by $170
million, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions (including the
terms thereof being satisfactory to the lenders under the Combined Credit
Agreements).
Phil Cook, senior vice president and chief financial officer commented,
"The expansion of this facility enhances our capital structure and allows
the company to continue to pursue its development programs into 2006, which
should provide significant value and growth for our stockholders. This
increase in the borrowing base is a demonstration of the quality of our
long-lived reserves, the banks' continued confidence in our management
team, and our strong growth prospects."
