Note Purchase Agreement
On September 21, 2022, Sitio OpCo, as issuer, and certain subsidiaries of Sitio OpCo, as guarantors, entered into that certain Note Purchase Agreement (the “Note Purchase Agreement”) with certain banks, financial institutions, lending institutions and other institutional investors party thereto as holders (the “Holders”) and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as agent for the Holders, pursuant to which Sitio OpCo issued senior unsecured notes to the Holders in an aggregate principal amount of $450,000,000 (the “Notes”). Sitio OpCo used a portion of the proceeds from the Notes to repay in full all amounts outstanding under the 364-Day Bridge Term Loan Agreement dated as of June 24, 2022 with Sitio OpCo, as borrower, the lenders party thereto and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent (as amended by that certain First Amendment to 364-Day Bridge Term Loan Agreement, dated as of July 8, 2022, and as further amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified, the “Bridge Term Loan Agreement”).
The Notes mature on September 21, 2026, which is four years after the issuance of the Notes.
Interest accrues on the Notes, at Sitio Opco’s option, at either (1) an adjusted Term SOFR rate plus a margin of 6.50% or (2) a base rate (defined on the basis of the prime rate) plus a margin of 5.50%. From and after the closing date of the merger between Sitio Royalties Corp. and Brigham Minerals, Inc., the applicable margin will be reduced to 5.75% for Notes bearing interest based on the adjusted Term SOFR rate and to 4.75% for Notes bearing interest based on the base rate.
Sitio OpCo may elect, at its option, to prepay the Notes on the last business day of each calendar quarter in an amount equal to 2.50% of the aggregate principal amount of all Notes issued under the Note Purchase Agreement, which prepayments will not require the payment of any premium (each, an “Optional Quarterly Payment”). If Sitio OpCo does not make an Optional Quarterly Payment on any quarterly payment date, the applicable margin on the Notes will increase to 9.50% for Notes bearing interest based on the adjusted Term SOFR rate and 8.50% for Notes bearing interest based on the base rate (or, from and after the closing date of the merger between Sitio Royalties Corp. and Brigham Minerals, Inc., 7.75% for Notes bearing interest based on the adjusted Term SOFR rate and 6.75% for Notes bearing interest based on the base rate), and the increased margin will apply until the earlier of the date on which Sitio OpCo makes such Optional Quarterly Payment or the next quarterly payment date.
