GeoPark Limited (NYSE: GPRK) (the “Company”) today announced that it has received the requisite consents in connection with its previously announced solicitation of consents (the “Consent Solicitation”) from holders of its 5.500% Senior Notes due 2027 (the “2027 Notes”). The Consent Solicitation was made pursuant to a Consent Solicitation Statement, dated June 8, 2022 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified, the “Consent Solicitation Statement”). The proposed amendments (the “Proposed Amendments”) to the indenture (the “Indenture”) governing the 2027 Notes intend to (i) address the impact of adverse market conditions and related drop in the price of crude oil during 2020 on the Company’s results, which in turn negatively impacted the restricted payments builder basket as currently in effect, and (ii) increase and reset the general restricted payments basket in the Indenture to provide the Company additional restricted payments capacity, which will give the Company additional financial flexibility that is aligned to its improved performance beginning in 2021. Full details of the terms and conditions of the Consent Solicitation, including the Proposed Amendments, were included in the Consent Solicitation Statement.
