GeoPark Announces Commencement of Cash Tender Offer for Any and All of Its Outstanding 5.500% Senior Notes Due 2027 (Cusip Nos. 37255b Ab5; G38327 Ab1 / Isin Nos. Us37255bab53; Usg38327ab13)

GeoPark Limited (“GeoPark” or the “Company”) (NYSE: GPRK), an exempted company incorporated under the laws of Bermuda, today announced the commencement of an offer to purchase for cash any and all of its outstanding 5.500% Senior Notes due 2027 (the “Notes”) (the “Tender Offer”). The Tender Offer is being made upon the terms and subject to the conditions (including the Financing Condition (as defined in the Offer to Purchase)) set forth in the offer to purchase dated January 21, 2025 (the “Offer to Purchase”) and the notice of guaranteed delivery (the “Notice of Guaranteed Delivery” and, together with the Offer to Purchase, the “Offer Documents”).

The table below summarizes certain payment terms for the Notes:

*       The Consideration for the Notes will be paid together with accrued and unpaid interest from the last interest payment date for the Notes up to, but not including, the Settlement Date (as defined below).

The Tender Offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on January 27, 2025, or any other date and time to which GeoPark extends the Tender Offer (such date and time, as it may be extended, the “Expiration Time”). Holders of Notes must validly tender their Notes (or, where applicable, Notices of Guaranteed Delivery) at or prior to the Expiration Time and not validly withdraw them at or prior to the applicable Withdrawal Deadline (as defined in the Offer to Purchase) in order to be eligible to receive the Consideration (as defined in the Offer to Purchase) plus accrued and unpaid interest for such Notes. Tendered Notes may be validly withdrawn at any time at or prior to the Withdrawal Deadline but not thereafter.

Notes may be tendered and accepted for payment in principal amounts equal to minimum denominations of U.S.$200,000 and integral multiples of U.S.$1,000 in excess thereof. Holders who tender less than all of their Notes must continue to hold Notes in at least the minimum authorized denomination of U.S.$200,000 principal amount. No alternative, conditional or contingent tenders will be accepted.

The obligation of GeoPark to purchase Notes in the Tender Offer is conditioned on the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, including, without limitation, the Financing Condition, described in the Offer Documents. GeoPark reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to amend or terminate the Tender Offer at any time.

The Tender Offer is being made in connection with a proposed offering of U.S. dollar denominated senior notes (the “New Notes”) to be issued by GeoPark (the “Proposed New Notes Offering”).  The Proposed New Notes Offering will be exempt from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
