The Third Amendment (i) increases the maximum amount of unsecured senior or senior subordinated notes that may be issued by the Operating Company or the Partnership from $400 million to $1 billion, subject to certain conditions set forth therein and (ii) permits the issuance of up to $500 million in senior unsecured notes prior to the November 2019 scheduled redetermination of the borrowing base without a reduction to the borrowing base that would have otherwise occurred pursuant to the Credit Agreement.

The preceding summary of the Third Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such amendment, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

Pricing of Senior Notes

On October 10, 2019, the Partnership issued a press release announcing that it priced an upsized offering of $500 million aggregate principal amount of its 5.375% Senior Notes due 2027 (the “Notes”) to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and to certain non-U.S. persons in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act (the “Notes Offering”). The Notes will be issued at par. The Partnership intends to loan the proceeds from the Notes Offering to the Operating Company.

This report is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy any of these securities and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale is unlawful.

VIPER ENERGY PARTNERS LP, A SUBSIDIARY OF DIAMONDBACK ENERGY, INC., PRICES UPSIZED $500 MILLION OFFERING OF 5.375% SENIOR NOTES

MIDLAND, Texas, October 10, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Viper Energy Partners LP (NASDAQ: VNOM) (“Viper”), a subsidiary of Diamondback Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ: FANG) (“Diamondback”), announced today that it has priced at par an offering of $500 million aggregate principal amount of its 5.375% Senior Notes due 2027 (the “Notes”), representing a $100 million upsize from the previously announced size of the offering. The Notes are being sold to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and to certain non-U.S. persons outside the United States in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act (the “Notes Offering”). The Notes will be issued under a new indenture and will rank equally with Viper’s other senior indebtedness. The Notes Offering is expected to close on October 16, 2019, subject to customary closing conditions. Net proceeds to Viper from the Notes Offering will be approximately $492 million. Viper intends to loan the proceeds from the Notes Offering to Viper Energy Partners LLC (the “Viper Operating Company”). The Viper Operating Company will use the proceeds from the Notes Offering to repay outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility.

The Notes will be senior unsecured obligations of Viper, initially will be guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Viper Operating Company, Viper’s sole subsidiary, and will pay interest semi-annually. Neither Viper’s parent Diamondback nor Viper’s general partner will guarantee the Notes. In the future, each of Viper’s restricted subsidiaries that either (1) guarantees any of its or a guarantor’s other indebtedness or (2) is a domestic restricted subsidiary and is an obligor with respect to any indebtedness under any credit facility will be required to guarantee the Notes.

The Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from such registration requirements. Viper is under no obligation, and has no intention, to register the Notes under the Securities Act or any state securities laws in the future.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy these securities nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.

About Viper Energy Partners LP 
Viper is a limited partnership formed by Diamondback to own, acquire and exploit oil and natural gas properties in North America, with a focus on oil-weighted basins, primarily the Permian Basin and the Eagle Ford Shale.
