Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

In connection with the regularly scheduled semi-annual redetermination of the borrowing base, the banks increased the borrowing base under the $200.0 million credit agreement (“Revolver”) from $140.0 million to $160.0 million based on our December 31, 2004 reserve report prepared by Ryder Scott Company, L.P. As a result of the increase to the borrowing base, current availability under the $50.0 million Tranche B is $40.0 million. Total availability under the Revolver is currently $200.0 million. As of March 29, 2005, we had outstanding borrowings of $105.0 million. On March 29, 2005, Spinnaker Exploration Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Spinnaker Exploration Company, L.L.C., entered into a second amendment to the Revolver. Among other provisions, the amendment extended the Tranche B termination date to October 31, 2005, unless sooner terminated in accordance with the Revolver.
