TABLE OF CONTENTS
As previously disclosed in Item 2.04 of the Form 8-K filed by Crusader Energy Group Inc. (the
Company
) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
SEC
) on February 27,
2009, Union Bank of California, N.A. (
UBOC
), the administrative agent and issuing lender
under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated June 26, 2008, among the Company,
UBOC and the lenders party thereto, as amended (the
First Lien Credit Facility
), notified
the Company on February 23, 2009 that the lenders under the First Lien Credit Facility had reduced
the Companys borrowing base from $70 million to $25 million (the
Borrowing Base
Redetermination
). As of the date of, and after giving effect to, the Borrowing Base
Redetermination, the aggregate principal amount of the advances outstanding under the First Lien
Credit Facility plus the aggregate existing letter of credit exposure exceeded the Companys
borrowing base by approximately $5 million (the
Borrowing Base Deficiency
). As a result,
and pursuant to the terms of the First Lien Credit Facility, the Company was required to take one
of the following actions to timely eliminate the Borrowing Base Deficiency: (a) prepay the
Borrowing Base Deficiency in full by March 5, 2009, (b) pledge additional collateral to cure the
Borrowing Base Deficiency by March 25, 2009, (c) prepay the Borrowing Base Deficiency in six equal
monthly installments with the first installment due on March 25, 2009 or (d) a combination of items
(b) and (c) above. As disclosed in Item 8.01 of the Form 8-K filed by the Company with the SEC on
March 19, 2009, the Company previously notified UBOC of its election to prepay the Borrowing Base
Deficiency in six equal monthly installments with the first installment due on March 25, 2009 (the
First Monthly Installment
).
In connection with the Companys continued evaluation and assessment of financial and
strategic alternatives to address the Borrowing Base Deficiency, the Company elected not to pay the
First Monthly Installment by March 25, 2009. Such failure to pay the First Monthly Installment
constitutes an event of default under the First Lien Credit Facility, and UBOC could elect to
declare all amounts outstanding under the First Lien Credit Facility to be immediately due and
payable. In addition, such event of default under the First Lien Credit Facility constitutes an
event of default under the Second Lien Credit Agreement, dated July 17, 2008, among the Company,
JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (
JPMorgan
), and the lenders party
thereto (the
Second Lien Credit Facility
and, together with the First Lien Credit
Facility, the
Credit Facilities
), and JPMorgan could elect to declare all amounts
outstanding under the Second Lien Credit Facility to be immediately due and payable. If the
lenders under either Credit Facility accelerates such indebtedness the Company does not currently
have sufficient cash on hand to repay such indebtedness and, if the Company is unable to repay such
amounts or reach a solution acceptable to such lenders and the Company, the lenders (subject to
certain intercreditor agreement provisions) could proceed to exercise all available remedies
against the collateral pledged to them to secure that indebtedness.
The Company remains in discussion with its lenders under the Credit Facilities to address the
Borrowing Base Deficiency and the Companys election not to timely pay the First Monthly
Installment. The Company also is in discussions with other third parties regarding potential
strategic alternatives (which may include restructuring the Companys debt, the sale of some or all
of the Companys assets or a merger or other business combination involving the Company). There
can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in reaching a solution with the lenders to
address the Borrowing Base Deficiency and the Companys failure to timely pay the First Monthly
Installment or effecting any strategic alternatives. The Company may be required to seek
protection under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code if such efforts are not successful
or to effect any strategic alternatives that it elects to pursue.
