BIRMINGHAM, AL / ACCESSWIRE / December 8, 2021 / Diversified Energy Company PLC (LSE:DEC) ("Diversified" or the "Company"), is pleased to announce that the Company's bank lending group, led by KeyBank National Association (the "Bank Group"), completed its semi-annual redetermination of the Company's senior secured credit facility (the "Credit Facility"). The Bank Group approved an $825 million borrowing base, representing a $200 million or 32% increase related to higher commodity prices and the added collateral from the Company's previously announced acquisition of Tapstone Energy Holdings LLC.

"I would like to thank our bank group for their continued support of Diversified as an integral and responsible part of the energy transition solution. The more than 30% increase in the Credit Facility borrowing base affirms our banks' trust in Diversified's stewardship and confidence in our assets to generate strong free cash flow to support our business, repay our borrowings, fund our ESG initiatives for our stakeholders and sustain our dividends for investors."
