'Net debt is $2.4 billion and Tullow warned in September that it could fail a liquidity test as part of a redetermination due this month of its $1.8 billion reserves-based lending (RBL) facility.
It needs to show it has, or will have, sufficient funds to meet all its financial commitments for 18 months, a test it risks failing because $650 million of other debt is due for repayment in April 2022. Failure would put it at risk of defaulting on RBL by this April.
Tullow said that it had begun “discussions with its creditors with regards to its debt refinancing options” and had agreed with its banks to delay the redetermination by up to a month. It said this would allow for “additional time to review the business plan and operating strategy” it set out in September.'
