Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On August 19, 2014, we entered into a Second Amendment (the "First Lien Amendment") to our Credit Agreement, dated as of June 2, 2014 (the “First Lien Credit Agreement”), among our Company, as borrower, KeyBank National Association, as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto. The First Lien Amendment, among other things, (1) increases the total amount of obligations the Company may enter into under capital leases from time to time, (2) allows for the Company to make certain investments in Savant Alaska, LLC and (3) increases the amount of preferred stock that the Company may issue.
In addition, on August 19, 2014, we entered into Amendment No. 3 (the “Second Lien Amendment”) to our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of February 3, 2014 (the “Second Lien Credit Agreement”), among our Company, as borrower, Apollo Investment Corporation, as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto. The Second Lien Amendment, among other things, (1) increases the total amount of obligations the Company may enter into under capital leases from time to time, (2) allows for the Company to make certain investments in Savant Alaska, LLC and (3) increases the amount of preferred stock that the Company may issue.
The foregoing description of the Amendment above is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the First Lien Amendment and the Second Lien Amendment, which are filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, to this report.
Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers;
Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
As previously reported, on August 12, 2014, we entered into a Departure and Withdrawal Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Mr. David J. Voyticky. Under the Agreement, Mr. Voyticky retained certain equity awards after the effective date of his resignation. A portion of those awards were not vested on the date of the Agreement, but continued to vest over time. The Agreement also provided that those awards that were not yet fully vested in Mr. Voyticky would, with the approval of the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of our Board of Directors, vest immediately on the date that approval was given. The contemplated approval was given by the Committee at a meeting held on August 15, 2014.
The awards effected were as follows: (i) options to purchase 575,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $5.35 per share, which would have vested on June 9, 2016, (ii) a grant of 21,250 shares of our common stock, which would have vested on July 24, 2015 and (iii) a grant of 21,250 shares of our common stock, which would have vested on July 24, 2016. Following the Committee’s action, these awards are now fully vested in Mr. Voyticky.
Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
On August 20, 2014, we uploaded a revised presentation to our website discussing the current state of the Company and expectations over the next several months. We expect these slides may be used in presentations to potential purchasers of the Series D Preferred Stock in the Offering. In addition, we may rely on all or part of this presentation any time we are discussing the current state of the Company in communications at industry or similar conferences. A copy of this presentation is attached as Exhibit 99.1.
On August 20, 2014, we issued a press release announcing an increase in the value of our reserves located in the Cook Inlet area of Alaska as determined by Ryder Scott Company, L.P., in a recently issued reserve report, as discussed in more detail below in Item 8.01. Attached as Exhibit 99.2 is the related press release.
Pursuant to General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information in this Item 7.01 of Form 8-K, including Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or otherwise be subject to the liabilities of that section, nor is it incorporated by reference into any filing of Miller Energy Resources, Inc. under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, whether made before or after the date hereof, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing.
Item 8.01. Other Events.
On August 18, 2014, we received a new reserve report (the “CIE Report”) from the Ryder Scott Company, L.P. (“RSC”) estimating the value and amounts of the hydrocarbon reserves held by our wholly owned subsidiary, Cook Inlet Energy, LLC, in the Cook Inlet region of Alaska including the North Fork Unit which was recently acquired.
