Subsequent Events
As previously announced, in connection with Resaca Exploitation, Inc.’s (“Resaca”) $105.5 million initial public offering of shares of common stock on the Alternative Investment Market of the London Stock Exchange, the Company converted its Senior Subordinated Secured Convertible Term Loan into shares of common stock of Resaca and sold 1.554 million of those shares in the offering for gross proceeds of $4 million. The Company continues to hold 6.8 million shares of Resaca common stock or approximately 6.9% of Resaca’s fully diluted common shares having a gross value of $17.0 million based on the closing price of Resaca’s common shares on August 4, 2008.
Immediately following its initial public offering, Resaca repaid its Senior Secured Tranche B Term Loan in full and repurchased overriding royalty interests held by the Company. The Company has become Resaca’s sole lender, providing it with a $60 million Senior Secured Multiple-Advance Term Loan. At present, approximately $22 million is outstanding under this facility.
The sale of the overriding royalty interest resulted in realized long term capital gains of approximately $2.7 million and the sale of the common stock resulted in short term capital gains of approximately $3.3 million, which will be recognized in the third quarter of 2008. Such gains may result in incentive fees payable to the Manager according to the terms of the investment advisory agreement.
On July 21, 2008, the Company exchanged its $13.4 million Senior Secured Note and warrants for preferred membership interests in DeanLake Operator, LLC (“DeanLake”). In addition, the Company has agreed to make available an additional $3.6 million to DeanLake to be used for capital expenditures on DeanLake’s properties.
