Laredo Petroleum, Inc. (the “Company”) has recently added hedges for the remainder of 2021 and 2022, as detailed on Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto. Additionally, hedges that were previously identified as being expected to be novated upon closing of the proved producing reserves sale were novated on July 1, 2021.

To be effective upon closing of the offering of the Notes (as defined below), if consummated, the Company intends to enter into the seventh amendment (the “Seventh Amendment”) to the senior secured credit facility. The Seventh Amendment, among other things, includes technical amendments (including in connection with Eurodollar advances), extends the maturity date by two years to July 2025 (subject to a springing maturity date of July 29, 2024 if any of the 9 1/2% senior unsecured notes due 2025 are outstanding on such date), increases the applicable margins for advances made thereunder, increases certain commitment and letter of credit fees, revises certain exceptions to the limitations on the payment of distributions and the repayment of unsecured debt, and decreases the leverage ratio for quarterly periods ending on and after September 30, 2021.
As of July 8, 2021, Laredo had a cash and cash equivalents balance of $29.0 million and $410.0 million outstanding under its senior secured credit facility (not including $44.1 million in undrawn letters of credit).

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering, if completed, for general corporate purposes, including, repaying a portion of the borrowings outstanding under the Company’s senior secured credit facility.
The notes and the related guarantees to be offered have not and will not be 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 the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. The notes and the related guarantees will be offered and sold only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers in the United States pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") and outside the United States pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release and any oral statements made regarding the subject of this release contain forward-looking statements as defined under Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, that address activities that Laredo assumes, plans, expects, believes, intends, projects, indicates, enables, transforms, estimates or anticipates (and other similar expressions) will, should or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements, including statements regarding the size and expected use of the offering. The forward-looking statements are based on management’s current belief, based on currently available information, as to the outcome and timing of future events. The forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, including, among others, that our business plans may change as circumstances warrant and that the notes may not ultimately be offered. General risks relating to Laredo include, but are not limited to, the decline in prices of oil, natural gas liquids and natural gas and the related impact to financial statements as a result of asset impairments and revisions to reserve estimates, the increase in service and supply costs, tariffs on steel, pipeline transportation constraints in the Permian Basin, hedging activities, possible impacts of litigation and regulations, the suspension or discontinuance of share repurchases at any time and other factors, including those and other risks described in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on May 11, 2021, and those set forth from time to time in other filings with the SEC. These documents are available through the SEC’s Electronic Data Gathering and Analysis Retrieval System ("EDGAR") at www.sec.gov. Any of these factors could cause Laredo’s actual results and plans to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Therefore, Laredo can give no assurance that its future results will be as estimated. Laredo does not intend to, and disclaims any obligation to, update or revise any forward-looking statement.
