Material Changes and Agreements
The filing outlines significant structural changes to the Company's capital structure and operations:
- Acquisition of Basic Assets: Ranger Energy Acquisition, LLC (a subsidiary) was selected as the winning bidder in a Section 363 auction to acquire Basic's non-California business lines. The transaction is subject to Bankruptcy Court approval, expected by September 23, 2021.
- Debt Restructuring: Proceeds from the new $77.5 million facility will be used to repay existing indebtedness to Wells Fargo Bank and Encina Equipment Finance SPV, LLC, fund the Basic Transaction, and cover transaction costs.
- Tax Receivable Agreement (TRA) Termination: The Company terminated its 2017 TRA with certain stockholders (CSL Capital and Bayou Well Holdings). In consideration, the Company will issue 376,185 shares of Class A Common Stock to these parties, subject to stockholder approval.
- Class B Stock Redemption: CSL and Bayou consented to the redemption of their Ranger LLC units and corresponding Class B Common Stock for Class A Common Stock or cash. Upon completion, no Class B Common Stock will remain outstanding.
Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies
Management has outlined several critical conditions and risks associated with these transactions:
- Closing Conditions: The Private Placement and the Basic Transaction are expected to close by the end of September 2021. The debt facility closing is contingent on the consummation of the Basic Transaction and the absence of a material adverse change since December 31, 2020.
- Stockholder Approval: The issuance of Class A Common Stock upon conversion of the Preferred Stock and the issuance of shares for the TRA termination require stockholder approval to comply with NYSE listing rules. A special meeting will be held following the closing of the Private Placement.
- Bankruptcy Court Approval: The asset purchase is subject to final approval by the Bankruptcy Court.
- Documentation Status: The loan and security agreement for the Credit Facility has not been finalized, and actual terms may differ from the commitment letter.
