| Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
Diamondback Notes Offering
On March 18, 2021, Diamondback Energy, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”), by and among the Company, Diamondback O&G LLC (“O&G”) and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, as representatives of the several underwriters named therein (collectively, the “Underwriters”), providing for the issuance and sale (the “Notes Offering”) of $650,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 0.900% Senior Notes due March 24, 2023 (the “2023 Notes”), $900,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 3.125% Senior Notes due March 24, 2031 (the “2031 Notes”) and $650,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 4.400% Senior Notes due March 24, 2051 (the “2051 Notes” and together with the 2023 Notes and the 2031 Notes, the “New Notes”). The prices to the public for the 2023 Notes, the 2031 Notes and the 2051 Notes were 99.990%, 99.659% and 99.669%, respectively, of the principal amount. The New Notes have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3ASR (No. 333-234764), which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and became automatically effective on November 18, 2019 (the “Shelf Registration Statement”). The terms of the New Notes are further described in the Company’s prospectus supplement dated March 18, 2021, as filed with the SEC under Rule 424(b)(2) of the Act (the “Prospectus”), which prospectus supplement and the related base prospectus form part of the Shelf Registration Statement.
On March 24, 2021, the New Notes were issued pursuant to the Indenture, dated as of December 5, 2019, between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the “Diamondback 2019 Indenture”), as supplemented by the Third Supplemental Indenture, dated as of March 24, 2021 (the “Third Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Diamondback 2019 Indenture, the “New Indenture”), among the Company, O&G, as guarantor, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee, setting forth specific terms applicable to the New Notes.
The New Notes are the Company’s senior unsecured obligations and are guaranteed by O&G, but are not guaranteed by any of the Company’s other subsidiaries. O&G’s guarantee of the Notes is “full and unconditional,” as that term is used in Regulation S-X, Rule 3-10(e)(2), except that in the future, the guarantee may be released or terminated under certain circumstances as specified in the New Indenture. The New Notes are senior in right of payment to any of the Company’s and O&G’s future subordinated indebtedness. The New Notes rank equal in right of payment with all of the Company’s and O&G’s existing and future senior indebtedness. The New Notes are effectively subordinated to the Company’s and O&G’s existing and future secured indebtedness, if any, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness, and structurally subordinated to all of the existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities of the Company’s subsidiaries other than O&G.
The Company may not redeem the 2023 Notes in whole or in part at any time prior to September 24, 2021 (the “2021 Notes par call date”). The Company may redeem (i) the 2031 Notes in whole or in part at any time prior to December 24, 2030 and (ii) the 2051 Notes in whole or in part at any time prior to September 24, 2050 (each such date, together with the 2021 Notes par call date, a “par call date”), in each case at the redemption price set forth in the New Indenture. If the New Notes are redeemed on or after their respective par call dates, in each case, such New Notes may be redeemed at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the New Notes to be redeemed plus interest accrued thereon to but not including the redemption date.
Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event (as defined in the New Indenture), holders may require the Company to purchase some or all of their New Notes for cash at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the New Notes being purchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase.
The Underwriting Agreement includes customary representations, warranties and covenants by the Company. It also provides for customary indemnification by each of the Company and the respective Underwriters against certain liabilities arising out of or in connection with sale of the New Notes and for customary contribution provisions in respect of those liabilities. The New Indenture contains customary investment grade covenants, including limitations on the Company’s ability and the ability of certain of its subsidiaries to incur liens securing funded indebtedness and on the Company’s ability to consolidate, merge or sell, convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of its assets to any person.
C:
QEP Supplemental Indenture
In connection with the QEP Tender Offers (as defined below), the Company also solicited consents (the “Consent Solicitation”) from holders of the QEP Notes (as defined below) to amend (the “Proposed Amendments”) each QEP Tender Offer Indenture (as defined below) to, among other things, eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants and related provisions and certain events of default contained in each QEP Tender Offer Indenture. Prior to the acceptance of the validly tendered QEP Notes by the Company, the Company received the requisite number of consents to adopt the Proposed Amendments. On March 23, 2021, the Company entered into the First Supplemental Indenture (the “QEP First Supplemental Indenture”) with respect to the QEP Notes to amend each QEP Tender Offer Indenture to adopt the Proposed Amendments.
The foregoing descriptions of the Underwriting Agreement, the New Indenture and the QEP First Supplemental Indenture are not complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Underwriting Agreement, the Diamondback 2019 Indenture, the Third Supplemental Indenture and the QEP First Supplemental Indenture, which are filed as Exhibit 1.1, 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated in this Item 1.01 by reference.
