Representative Work:

  • Assisted Sanchez Energy in restructuring its secured indebtedness to minimize uncertainty with respect to liquidity. Negotiated the finance and security documents to allow the client to achieve its goal of obtaining immediate liquidity. The matter was complicated by the company’s hedging program, which required an additional layer of security considerations and negotiation that had to be coordinated with another outside counsel.
  • Advised Birch Petroleum on a secured term loan transaction and secured hedging facility to fund capital expenditures and ensure cash flow following the company’s acquisition of oil and gas properties in the Permian Basin.
  • Advised SAExploration, a global seismic services company, in restructuring the company’s balance sheet, converting debt to equity, refinancing debt with longer-term debt, and issuing new debt for operations and acquisitions. As a result of the recapitalization transaction, the company was able to convert almost $80 million of debt to equity, extend debt maturities on its revolving and secured debt, and arrange for additional liquidity.
  • Negotiated on behalf of SAExploration for documentation for the extensions of credit to allow the expedited acquisition of significant assets from a competitor that was in liquidation proceedings. The matter involved bankruptcy proceedings and an accelerated timeline, all of which required coordination among the restructuring, acquisition and finance teams. Successfully acquiring the assets provided the company with significant business opportunities.
  • Analyzed secured and high-yield debt security covenant packages for private equity firms and similar investors.
