Item 1.01.              Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On May 23, 2019, Kimbell Royalty Partners, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership”), entered into a Total Commitment Increase Agreement with Frost Bank, as an existing lender, and Frost Bank, as administrative agent (in such capacity, “Administrative Agent”), which amended the Partnership’s Credit Agreement, dated as of January 11, 2017 (as amended from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) and pursuant to which Frost Bank agreed to increase its commitments under the Partnership’s revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) by $5 million.  On May 23, 2019, the Partnership also entered into an Additional Lender Agreement with Independent Bank, as an additional lender, and the Administrative Agent, which amended the Credit Agreement and pursuant to which Independent Bank agreed to become a lender and provide the Partnership with $20 million of commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility.  After giving effect to such agreements, the aggregate maximum commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility were increased from $200 million to $225 million.

 

Additionally, on May 23, 2019, the Administrative Agent notified the Partnership that the May 2019 scheduled borrowing base redetermination review had been completed, and the lenders under the Credit Agreement agreed to increase the borrowing base under the Revolving Credit Facility from $200 million to $300 million, effective as of May 23, 2019.

 

Under the Credit Agreement, availability under the Revolving Credit Facility equals the lesser of the aggregate maximum commitments of the lenders and the borrowing base. The Credit Agreement permits aggregate commitments under the facility to be further increased to up to $500 million, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions and the procurement of additional commitments from new or existing lenders.

 

The material terms of the Total Commitment Increase Agreement and the Additional Lender Agreement are qualified in their entirety by the agreement attached as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
