GeoPark Limited (NYSE: GPRK) (the “Company”) today announced that it has extended the expiration date of its previously announced solicitation of consents (the “Consent Solicitation”) from the holders of its 5.500% Senior Notes due 2027 (the “2027 Notes”) for the adoption of certain proposed amendments (the “Proposed Amendments”) to the indenture governing the 2027 Notes (the “Indenture”). The Proposed Amendments intend to (i) address the impact of adverse market conditions and related drop in the price of crude oil during 2020 on the Company’s results, which in turn negatively impacted the restricted payments builder basket as currently in effect, and (ii) increase and reset the general restricted payments basket in the Indenture to provide the Company additional restricted payments capacity, giving the Company additional financial flexibility that is aligned to its improved performance beginning in 2021. The Consent Solicitation, which was previously scheduled to expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 15, 2022, will now expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 17, 2022, unless further extended (as so extended, the “Extended Expiration Time”).
