Antero Resources Corp. (NYSE: AR) has announced that the borrowing base under its bank credit facility has been increased to $4.0 billion. This represents a $1.0 billion increase over Antero's previous borrowing base announced in May 2014. In addition, lender commitments under the facility were increased by $500 million to $3.0 billion. The $3.0 billion commitment can be expanded to the full $4.0 billion borrowing base upon bank approval.
The bank syndicate, which is co-led by JPMorgan Chase Bank NA and Wells Fargo Bank NA, was expanded to add five banks increasing the number of participants to 26 banks. As of June 30, 2014, and adjusted for this borrowing base and lender commitment increase, Antero had $1.2 billion drawn under the credit facility and $237 million in letters of credit outstanding, resulting in $1.5 billion of available liquidity and over $2.5 billion of unused borrowing base capacity. The next redetermination of the borrowing base is scheduled to occur in the second quarter of 2015.
Antero is based in Denver.
