On June 22, 2006 ATP restated its Credit Suisse term loan, raising it from $350.0M to $525.0M by borrowing another $178.5M (net $167.4M after $11.1M of fees). The interest margin falls from LIBOR+5.50% to LIBOR+3.25%, maturity stays April 14, 2010, and the loan now amortizes 1% a year. The debt-to-reserves test that ATP had needed a waiver on in December 2005 is eliminated and replaced by a minimum reserve coverage ratio of 3.0x. The amendment also permits limited common stock buybacks and cash dividends on the preferred, and raises limits on acquisitions and on North Sea funding. The press release says the money is for developing newly acquired properties (Mirage, Morgus, Green Canyon 37) and for acquisitions. This resolves the open covenant retest thread but increases debt.
On June 14, 2006, the date of the annual shareholders meeting, ATP signed restricted stock agreements with eight non-employee directors. Each gets about $100,000 of restricted common stock (2,727 shares), vesting 50%/25%/25% over three years. Five of them (Swonke, Brisack, Wendlandt, Dilly, Thomas) also get a one-time grant of 6,300 shares vesting January 15, 2007. All vest immediately on a change of control. Bulmahn received none. The new shares add modestly to the share count.

On March 20, 2006 ATP privately sold 150,000 shares of new 12 1/2% series B cumulative perpetual preferred stock at $1,000 each, raising $150.0M gross and paying $4.50M in placement commissions. Like the August 2005 series A preferred, it is not convertible into common stock, so it adds a second preferred class to the share structure. The filing does not say how the money will be used.
