Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Phoenix Energy One, LLC entered into Amendment No. 10 to its Amended and Restated Senior Secured Credit Agreement with Fortress Credit Corp. and participating lenders. The amendment establishes $75 million in Amendment No. 7 Discretionary Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments, all of which were funded on August 12, 2026.

As a result, the aggregate principal amount available on a discretionary basis under these delayed draw term loans decreased from $225 million to $150 million during the defined availability period. The new commitments carry an original issue discount of 3.00% and have the same interest and maturity terms as prior Amendment No. 7 loans. The amendment also revises the repayment premium so that any full repayment of the loans achieves a MOIC of 1.15 for specified Amendment No. 7 loans and the February and August 2026 delayed draw loans, and 1.18 for each other group of loans. Proceeds will be used to finance development of the company’s oil and gas properties under the approved development plan.

  • None.

Negative

  • None.

Filing Explained

The amendment leaves the repayment premium for any new Amendment No. 7 discretionary delayed-draw commitments created after August 12, 2026 unsettled: the applicable MOIC will be agreed later, unlike the 1.15 or 1.18 MOIC terms assigned to existing loan groups.

Amended and Restated Senior Secured Credit Agreement financial
"entered into that certain Amended and Restated Senior Secured Credit Agreement"
Amendment No. 7 Discretionary Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments financial
"established $75 million aggregate principal amount in Amendment No. 7 Discretionary Delayed Draw Term Loan"
original issue discount financial
"The Amendment No. 7 Discretionary Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments are subject to original issue discount"
Original issue discount (OID) is the difference between a debt security’s face value and the lower price at which it is first sold, treated as additional interest that accrues over the life of the instrument. For investors it matters because OID raises the effective yield and changes taxable income and the holding’s cost basis over time — think of buying a $100 voucher for $90 and recognizing the $10 gain as earned interest as the voucher approaches maturity.
multiple on invested capital (MOIC) financial
"to be an amount sufficient to achieve a MOIC of (i) 1.15"
Maturity Date financial
"whether by voluntary prepayment, acceleration of the Loans, or on the Maturity Date"
The maturity date is the specific day when a loan, bond, or investment reaches its full term and the borrower must repay the borrowed amount in full. It is important for investors because it indicates when they will receive their initial money back and can plan their future financial steps accordingly. Think of it as the due date for a loan or the day a gift card or coupon expires.

(“Fortress”), as administrative agent for the lenders (as amended or supplemented from time to time, including by Amendment No. 10 (as defined below), the “Credit Agreement”).

On August 12, 2026 (the “Amendment No. 10 Effective Date”), the Company, Phoenix Operating, the Guarantors party thereto, the Specified Additional Guarantor, the Lenders party thereto, and Fortress, as administrative agent and as collateral agent for the Lenders, entered into that certain Amendment No. 10 to Amended and Restated Senior Secured Credit Agreement (“Amendment No. 10”). Amendment No. 10, among other things, established $75 million aggregate principal amount in Amendment No. 7 Discretionary Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments, all of which were drawn as of the Amendment No. 10 Effective Date, and thereby reduced the aggregate principal amount available on a discretionary basis from $225 million to $150 million from time to time during the Amendment No. 7 Delayed Draw Term Loan Availability Period, subject to and upon the satisfaction of certain conditions precedent set forth in the Credit Agreement. The Amendment No. 7 Discretionary Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments are subject to original issue discount of 3.00%. The Amendment No. 7 Discretionary Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments funded on the Amendment No. 10 Effective Date have the same terms, including with respect to interest rate and maturity date, as the other Amendment No. 7 Discretionary Delayed Draw Term Loans funded previously under the Credit Agreement. Amendment No. 10 also amended the repayment premium that must be paid in connection with any payment in full of the Loans (whether by voluntary prepayment, acceleration of the Loans, or on the Maturity Date) to be an amount sufficient to achieve a MOIC of (i) 1.15 with respect to the Amendment No. 7 Term Loans, the February 2026 Amendment No. 7 Delayed Draw Term Loans and the August 2026 Amendment No. 7 Delayed Draw Term Loans, (ii) 1.18 with respect to each other Group of Loans, and (iii) a ratio to be agreed for any new Amendment No. 7 Discretionary Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments established after the Amendment No. 10 Effective Date.

The Company and Phoenix Operating will use the proceeds of the Amendment No. 7 Discretionary Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments to finance the development of their oil and gas properties in accordance with the approved plan of development as provided in the Credit Agreement.
