Kosmos Energy Enters Into Senior Secured Term Loan Facility With Shell for up to $250 Million

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Kosmos Energy (NYSE/LSE: KOS) (“Kosmos” or the “Company”) announced today that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Kosmos Energy Gulf of Mexico Operations, LLC (“the Borrower”), has entered into a senior secured term loan facility (the “Term Facility”) with Shell Trading (US) Company (“STUSCO” or “Lender”), with funding anticipated on October 1, 2025.

The Term Facility provides up to $250 million to be used for the repayment of the Company’s outstanding unsecured notes. The Term Facility is structured in two tranches, with the first tranche of $150 million to be drawn at close and used to partially redeem the Company’s outstanding 2026 unsecured notes ($250 million outstanding). A second tranche of $100 million is available for drawing until April 1, 2026. The Term Facility has an interest rate of SOFR + 3.75%, is secured against the Borrower’s assets in the Gulf of America and has a final maturity date of four years after closing.

Neal Shah, Chief Financial Officer, said “We continue to be proactive in improving the resilience of the company’s balance sheet in a volatile commodity price environment by raising new liquidity on attractive terms and addressing near-term maturities. With production near record high levels and capital at multi-year lows, closing the Term Loan facility complements our near-term goal of organically reducing net debt through free cash flow generation from our high-quality assets while also continuing to grow our strategic relationship with Shell in the Gulf of America.”

Management does not provide a reconciliation for forward looking non GAAP financial measures where it is unable to provide a meaningful or accurate calculation or estimation of reconciling items and the information is not available without unreasonable effort. This is due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the occurrence and the financial impact of various items that have not yet occurred, are out of our control or cannot be reasonably predicted. For the same reasons, management is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information. Forward looking non GAAP financial measures provided without the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures may vary materially from the corresponding GAAP financial measures.
