- Of the ballots received, the Plan received 100% acceptance from the revolving lender group, 95% acceptance from the bondholder group, full acceptance from Mirada, and 77% acceptance from the common equity group.
- Reducing annual interest expense by $112.5 million through the elimination of $1.8 billion of senior unsecured notes.
- Leverage on the E&P business is expected to be reduced to approximately 1.0x upon completion of the Plan.
- Oasis has aggressively hedged during the Company's restructuring process and currently has 29 mbopd swapped at $42.09 in 2021, 19 mbopd swapped at $42.74 in 2022, and 14 mbopd swapped at $43.68 in 2023.
