Rhea-AI Filing Summary

EagleRock Land, LLC describes a refinancing of its main debt facilities tied to its initial public offering. Its subsidiary EagleRock Land Operating, LLC became parent and guarantor under a Predecessor Credit Facility, which had about $263.3 million outstanding and a $270.0 million payoff balance as of May 4, 2026, bearing interest at SOFR plus an 8.0%–8.5% margin and maturing on July 3, 2027. The company plans to use part of the IPO proceeds to repay and terminate this facility. In connection with the offering, OpCo entered into a new $200.0 million revolving Credit Facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank as administrative agent, secured by first-priority liens on substantially all OpCo and guarantor assets and including a $100.0 million accordion and a $10.0 million letter of credit sublimit. The new facility, which accrues interest at SOFR plus a grid-based margin tied to OpCo’s net total leverage ratio, will become effective once the predecessor facility is fully repaid and terminated and imposes ongoing leverage and interest coverage covenants.

Insights

EagleRock is replacing legacy debt with a JPMorgan-led revolving facility subject to leverage and coverage covenants.

EagleRock Land outlines a transition from its TCW-managed Predecessor Credit Facility to a new revolving Credit Facility. The predecessor had about $263.3 million outstanding and a payoff balance of $270.0 million as of May 4, 2026, with interest at SOFR plus an 8.0%–8.5% margin and a July 3, 2027 maturity.

The new Credit Facility provides $200.0 million of revolving capacity, an accordion for up to $100.0 million of additional commitments, and a $10.0 million letter of credit sublimit. It is secured by first-priority liens on substantially all OpCo and guarantor assets and is guaranteed by material domestic subsidiaries.

The structure introduces financial maintenance covenants, including a maximum net total leverage ratio of 3.50x (with a temporary 4.00x step-up after certain acquisitions) and minimum interest coverage of at least 2.75x. Restricted payments are allowed only if leverage is below 3.00x and pro forma liquidity is at least $50.0 million. Future filings may show how quickly EagleRock repays the predecessor facility and how it utilizes the new revolver within these covenant limits.

Item 2.03

Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

Predecessor Credit Facility

On May 15, 2026, in connection with the closing of the initial public offering (the “Offering”) of EagleRock Land, LLC (the “Company”), and pursuant to the terms of that certain Sixth Amendment to Financing Agreement, dated as of May 4, 2026, by and among Lea & Eddy Holdings, LLC, the predecessor for accounting purposes of the Company (the “Predecessor”), and certain of its subsidiaries, the other loan parties party thereto, TCW Asset Management Company LLC (“TCW”), as administrative agent and collateral agent, and the lenders party thereto (the “Sixth Amendment”), as modified by that certain Joinder Agreement to the Financing Agreement, dated as of May 15, 2026, by and among EagleRock Land Operating, LLC, a subsidiary of the Company (“OpCo”), the borrowers and other loan parties party thereto and TCW (such joinder, the “Joinder Agreement” and such credit facility, as amended and modified, the “Predecessor Credit Facility”), OpCo became “Parent” and “Guarantor” under the Predecessor Credit Facility in exchange for the Predecessor’s contribution of certain of its subsidiaries to OpCo.

As of May 4, 2026, there was approximately $263.3 million of outstanding borrowings under the Predecessor Credit Facility and the payoff balance was approximately $270.0 million. Borrowings under the Predecessor Credit Facility bear interest at the secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”), plus the applicable margin or certain reference rate, plus the applicable margin, which is set at 8.0%–8.5% depending on the applicable leverage ratio for the most recent four consecutive quarters. Principal amounts borrowed under the revolving credit facility that forms a part of the Predecessor Credit Facility may be repaid from time to time without penalty. Any principal amounts outstanding on the maturity date, July 3, 2027, become due and payable on such date. The Company intends to use a portion of the net proceeds from the Offering to repay in full and terminate the Predecessor Credit Facility. OpCo provides a limited recourse guaranty for the Predecessor Credit Facility limited to Parent Collateral (as defined in the Predecessor Credit Facility).

The foregoing description is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Sixth Amendment and the Joinder Agreement, which are attached as Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 10.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated in this Item 2.03 by reference.

EagleRock Credit Facility

In connection with the Offering, OpCo, as borrower, entered into a credit agreement providing a $200.0 million revolving credit facility, which will mature five years after the effective date (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility is administered by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and is secured by a first-priority lien on substantially all of the assets of OpCo and the Guarantors (as defined in the Credit Facility), including equity interests in OpCo’s subsidiaries, subject to customary exceptions and exclusions, and is guaranteed by all material existing and future direct and indirect wholly owned domestic subsidiaries of OpCo. The Credit Facility includes an accordion feature providing for up to $100.0 million of additional commitments, a letter of credit sublimit of $10.0 million and customary conditions to borrowing. The Credit Facility will become effective upon full repayment and termination of the Predecessor Credit Facility.

Outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility accrue interest at a rate based on SOFR, plus an applicable margin. Borrowings under the Credit Facility accrue interest based on a four-tiered pricing grid tied to OpCo’s net total leverage ratio as follows:

 

   

if the net total leverage ratio is greater than or equal to 3.00x, the applicable margin will be 3.00% and the commitment fee on undrawn amounts will be 0.50%;

 

2


   

if the net total leverage ratio is less than 3.00x but greater than or equal to 2.50x, the applicable margin will be 2.75% and the commitment fee on undrawn amounts will be 0.50%;

 

   

if the net total leverage ratio is less than 2.50x but greater than or equal to 2.00x, the applicable margin will be 2.50% and the commitment fee on undrawn amounts will be 0.375%; and

 

   

if the net total leverage ratio is less than 2.00x, the applicable margin will be 2.25% and the commitment fee on undrawn amounts will be 0.375%.

The Credit Facility includes customary affirmative and negative covenants, which, among other things and subject to certain exceptions, restrict the ability of OpCo and its restricted subsidiaries to incur debt, grant liens, make restricted payments and investments, issue equity, sell or lease assets, dissolve or merge with another entity, enter into transactions with affiliates or restrictive agreements, change their business, prepay debt and amend their organizational documents and material agreements.

The Credit Facility permits OpCo and its restricted subsidiaries to make certain restricted payments, so long as (i) no default or event of default exists or would result therefrom, (ii) the pro forma net total leverage ratio is less than 3.00x and (iii) pro forma liquidity (defined as cash plus availability under the Credit Facility) is equal to or greater than $50.0 million.

In addition, OpCo is required to comply with the following financial maintenance covenants: (i) a maximum net total leverage ratio of no greater than 3.50x (with maximum cash netting of up to $25.0 million if any loans are outstanding or, if no loans are outstanding, all unrestricted cash and cash equivalents on the balance sheet of OpCo and its restricted subsidiaries, and with a step up to 4.00x for a certain period after a material permitted acquisition); and (ii) a minimum interest coverage ratio of at least 2.75x.

The Credit Facility contains customary events of default, including for the failure of OpCo and the other loan parties to comply with the various financial, negative and affirmative covenants under the Credit Facility (subject to the cure provisions set forth therein). During the existence of an event of default (as defined in the Credit Facility), the administrative agent, with the consent of or at the direction of the required lenders thereunder, has the right to, among other available remedies, terminate the commitments and/or declare all outstanding loans and accrued interest and fees under the Credit Facility to be immediately due and payable.

The foregoing description is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Credit Facility, which is attached as Exhibit 10.3 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated in this Item 2.03 by reference.
