Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
As previously announced, on October 10, 2014, Endeavour International Corporation (the Company)
and certain of its subsidiaries (such subsidiaries, together with the Company, the Debtors),
filed voluntary petitions for relief under chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the
United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the Bankruptcy Court) in the
proceeding In re Endeavour Operating Corporation, et al., Case No. 1412308. As also previously
announced, on November 17, 2014, the Debtors filed with the Bankruptcy Court a proposed Joint
Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization and related disclosure statement. On December 19, 2014, the
Debtors filed with the Bankruptcy Court an amended disclosure statement, which included the
following disclosure:
As discussed above, the Debtors financial projections assume oil prices in
2015-2017 would remain steady at $90 per barrel in the U.K. Since those
financial projections were compiled in November 2014, crude oil prices have
declined worldwide, with mid-December 2014 pricing for 2015-2017 ranging from
approximately $60 to $75 per barrel in the U.K.
As further described in section VIII.C.2 of this Disclosure Statement, the
Debtors business is subject to volatile oil and gas prices, and significant
declines in the prices of those commodities will negatively affect the Debtors
revenues, profitability and cash flows. If crude oil prices are realized at the
lower end of mid-December pricing for the 2015-2017 projection period, the
Debtors project a corresponding reduction in their projected 2015-2017 EBITDA of
between 33% and 20%. Although the Debtors continue to believe that the Plan is
feasible under the requirements of section 1129(a)(11) of the Bankruptcy Code
despite the decline in crude oil prices, such a reduction could affect plans for
capital expenditures. If prices remain at current or lower levels for in excess
of six months and the Debtors are unable to offset the impact of lower crude oil
prices on cash flows by reducing expenses, identifying cost savings in their
business plan or raising new equity capital to reduce the amount of outstanding
indebtedness, the Debtors could potentially breach the leverage covenant in the
Restated EEUK Term Loan commencing in the third quarter of 2015, resulting in a
default under the terms of the Restated EEUK Term Loan. Additionally, despite
the fact that the Company may be able to avoid any such leverage covenant
default by taking some or all of the aforementioned actions or by obtaining a
waiver or amendment from the lenders, the Debtors auditors, in their
discretion, may determine to include a going concern qualification in their
audit report on the Debtors financial statements for the year ended December
31, 2014, to be delivered in March 2015, which would also be a default under the
Restated EEUK Term Loan. In advance of any potential default under the Restated
EEUK Term Loan, the Debtors would seek to (1) obtain a waiver or amendment of
the potentially breached leverage covenant, (2) refinance the Restated EEUK Term
Loan and/or (3) raise additional capital to reduce the principal of the Restated
EEUK Term Loan in an amount adequate to meet the leverage covenant.
There can be no assurance that in such an event, a waiver, amendment,
refinancing or reduction of the Restated EEUK Term Loan could be accomplished.
Creditors entitled to vote on the Plan should consider all the risk factors
before voting to accept or reject the Plan.
The information contained in this Item 7.01 shall not be deemed to be filed for purposes of
Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), or otherwise
subject to the liabilities of that section, and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference
into any of the Companys filings under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange
Act, whether made before or after the date hereof and regardless of any general incorporation
language in such filings, except to the extent expressly set forth by specific reference in such a
filing.
