DoublePoint Energy and Double Eagle Energy Holdings Announce Upsized Borrowing Base Commitment Alongside Existing Equity Commitment for Investment in Oil & Gas Assets in the Permian Basin

DoublePoint Energy, LLC (“DoublePoint”) announced the successful increase of its syndicated credit facility. This increase along with over $750 million of undrawn existing equity commitments provides significant capital to continue to pursue high-quality opportunities in the Permian Basin.

The existing equity commitments come from funds managed by affiliates of Apollo Global Management, Inc. (NYSE: APO) (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “Apollo”), Quantum Energy Partners (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “Quantum”), Magnetar Capital, funds managed by GSO Capital Partners LP, Double Eagle Energy Holdings (“Double Eagle”), FourPoint Energy (“FourPoint”) and other investors.

The 45% increase in DoublePoint’s syndicated RBL facility comes at a time when credit availability is significantly limited. The existing bank group unanimously approved the increase, and a new bank joined the syndication. Citigroup Global Markets, Inc. acted as Lead Arranger.

DoublePoint Energy, headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas, is led by the Double Eagle management team, with Cody Campbell and John Sellers serving as Co-Chief Executive Officers. The team has a long commercial track record and is well established as a premier operator in the Permian Basin. DoublePoint currently holds more than 95,000 net acres in the core of the Midland Basin.

John Sellers, Co-Chief Executive Officer of DoublePoint commented, “We are excited to announce our borrowing base increase and are appreciative of the support that our bank group has provided. This additional RBL capacity, paired with our substantial undrawn equity commitment, allows us to play offense in this down market. We are well positioned to continue with a robust development program and are actively evaluating opportunities to acquire accretive assets. We are open for business.”

Dheeraj Verma, President of Quantum, said, “The DoublePoint team is outstanding, and the Permian Basin stands above all others in its ability to produce low-cost barrels. These challenging times highlight the importance of quality management teams and quality assets. We are fortunate to have an outstanding platform to invest significant capital over the next few months.”

Geoffrey Strong, Senior Partner and Global Co-Head of Natural Resources and Infrastructure at Apollo, added, “Double Eagle is a proven winner and has deep expertise operating and creating value across the Permian Basin. Apollo has enjoyed a long and profitable relationship with Double Eagle through all stages of the commodity price cycle, and we are proud to reaffirm our commitment to Cody, John, and the rest of the team.”
