HOUSTON, April 21, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Sabine Oil & Gas Corporation (OTCQB:SOGC) (the "Company") today announced that it has elected to exercise its right to a grace period with respect to a $15.313 million interest payment under its Second Lien Credit Agreement. The interest payment is due April 21, 2015; however, such grace period permits the Company 30 days to make the interest payment before an event of default occurs.
As previously announced, Sabine has retained financial advisors Lazard and legal advisors Kirkland & Ellis LLP to advise management and the board of directors on strategic alternatives related to its capital structure. Sabine believes it is in the best interests of its stakeholders to actively address the Company's debt and capital structure and intends to continue discussions with its creditors and their respective professionals during the 30-day grace period. As of April 20, 2015, the Company had a cash balance of approximately $280 million, which provides substantial liquidity to fund its current operations. Sabine is continuing to pay suppliers and other trade creditors in the ordinary course.
