Even while restructuring its balance sheet, Energy XXI agreed to buy Gulf of Mexico shelf interests from Mitsui subsidiary MitEnergy for $283 million (about $263 million net after adjustments) - mostly non-operated stakes in the same fields it had bought from Pogo Producing in 2007, adding 8,000 boe/day of production (77% oil) with hedges locked in at $73.46/barrel, to be funded with new equity, cash and bank debt.
Energy XXI completed the exchange, swapping $347.5 million of its 10% Senior Notes for $278 million of new 16% Second Lien Notes and raising $60 million more of those notes plus 13.2 million new shares in a concurrent private placement - cutting total face debt somewhat but replacing cheap 10% debt with expensive 16% secured paper, a costly but necessary trade during the crisis.
With its first-lien borrowing base already cut to $199 million, Energy XXI amended its credit agreement to clear the way for a distressed debt exchange: swapping at least $311 million of its existing 10% Senior Notes for new 16% Second Lien Notes at a discount (up to $0.80 on the dollar), raising $50 million of fresh cash, and using $41 million of it to pay down bank debt - a real deleveraging move forced by tightening credit conditions during the financial crisis.
The next borrowing-base redetermination cut Energy XXI's revolving credit facility sharply, from $400 million to $240 million, as the 2008-2009 financial crisis and collapsing oil prices hit lender risk appetite - the company expected to end up fully drawn with only $61 million of cash on hand, a real tightening of its liquidity cushion.
