TULSA, Okla., Dec. 17, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Jericho Oil Corporation (“Jericho”) (TSX-V: JCO; OTC PINK: JROOF) is pleased to announce that the lender under its USD$30 million Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility (the “Facility”), East West Bancorp, has reaffirmed its borrowing base at $7.5mm following the Company’s regularly scheduled semi-annual redetermination process. There were no other material changes to the terms of the Facility resulting from this borrowing base redetermination.
The Company also reports that it has opportunistically restructured its commodity hedge positions to eliminate upside caps on its realized price for crude oil, in addition to raising the floor which protects the Company’s realized price to the downside.
Brian Williamson, CEO of Jericho Oil, stated, “We are encouraged by the outcome of our recent redetermination process, which we believe to reflect the quality of our Mid-Continent position and the economics associated with our continued investment,” adding, “we appreciate the support of our lending bank and their commitment to partner with us as we continue to add to our proved reserves base and execute on our growth strategy throughout 2019.”
