Item 1.01    Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On June 26, 2026, California Resources Corporation (the “Company”) completed its previously announced private offering of $550 million aggregate principal amount of its 7.250% senior unsecured notes due 2035 (the “Notes”). The terms of the Notes are governed by the Indenture, dated as of June 26, 2026 (the “Indenture”), by and among the Company, the guarantors party thereto (the “Guarantors”) and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”). The Notes will mature on January 15, 2035. Interest accrues from June 26, 2026 and will be payable semi-annually on January 15 and July 15 of each year, commencing January 15, 2027.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds from this offering, together with cash on hand and/or borrowings under its revolving credit facility, to fund the redemption of all outstanding $550 million in aggregate principal amount of its 8.250% senior unsecured notes due 2029 (the “2029 Notes”) at a redemption price of 104.125% thereof, and accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of redemption. The redemption of the 2029 Notes closed on June 26, 2026.
The Notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by all of the Company’s existing subsidiaries that guarantee its obligations under its revolving credit facility and its existing 7.000% senior notes due 2034, and the Notes will be guaranteed by certain of the Company’s future subsidiaries. The Notes and the guarantees thereof are unsecured, rank equally in right of payment with all senior unsecured debt of the Company and the Guarantors and rank senior to all of the existing and future subordinated debt of the Company and the Guarantors.
The Company may, at its option, redeem some or all of the Notes at any time on or after July 15, 2029 at the redemption prices specified in the Indenture. Prior to such time, the Company may, at its option, redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes with an amount of cash not greater than the net cash proceeds from certain equity offerings at the redemption price specified in the Indenture. In addition, before July 15, 2029, the Company may redeem some or all of the Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes redeemed, plus the applicable premium as specified in the Indenture and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. If the Company experiences certain kinds of change of control trigger events, the Company will be required to offer to repurchase the Notes at 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased to, but excluding, the date of purchase. The Indenture contains other customary terms, events of default and covenants.
The above description of the Indenture is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Indenture, which is filed as Exhibit 4.1 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.
