Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations The following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including, without limitation, those set forth in ‘‘Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements’’ and ‘‘Item 1A. Risk Factors.’’ The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this annual report on Form 10-K. Overview Kosmos is a leading independent oil and gas exploration and production company focused on frontier and emerging areas along the Atlantic Margins. Our assets include existing production and development projects offshore Ghana, large discoveries and significant further hydrocarbon exploration potential offshore Mauritania and Senegal, as well as exploration licenses with significant hydrocarbon potential offshore Sao Tome and Principe, Suriname, Morocco and Western Sahara. Recent Developments Corporate In July 2016, we amended and restated the revolving letter of credit facility agreement (‘‘LC Facility’’), extending the maturity date to July 2019. The LC Facility size remains at $75.0 million, as amended in July 2015, with additional commitments up to $50.0 million being available if the existing lender increases its commitment or if commitments from new financial institutions are added. Other amendments include increasing the margin from 0.5% to 0.8% per annum on amounts outstanding, adding a commitment fee payable quarterly in arrears at an annual rate equal to 0.65% on the available commitment amount and providing for issuance fees to be payable to the lender per new issuance of a letter of credit. In September 2016, following the lender’s semi-annual redetermination, the borrowing base under our Facility was increased from the March 2016 redetermination to $1.467 billion (effective October 1, 2016). The borrowing base calculation includes value related to the Jubilee and TEN fields. In February 2017, we exercised an option to increase the size of the LC Facility to $125.0 million to facilitate the issuance of additional letters of credit. Rig Agreement In January 2017, Kosmos Energy Ventures (‘‘KEV’’), a subsidiary of Kosmos Energy Ltd., exercised its right under the amended Atwood Achiever rig agreement with Atwood Oceanics, Inc. to exercise its option to cancel the fourth year and revert to the original day rate of approximately $0.6 million per day and original agreement end date of November 2017. KEV is required to make a rate recovery payment of approximately $48.1 million based on this election. Ghana Jubilee In February 2016, the Jubilee Field operator identified an issue with the turret bearing of the FPSO Kwame Nkrumah. This necessitated the FPSO to be shut down for an extended period beginning in March with production resuming in early May. This resulted in the need to implement new operating and offloading procedures, including the use of tug boats for heading control and a dynamically positioned (‘‘DP’’) shuttle tanker and storage vessel for offloading. These new operating procedures were successfully implemented in April 2016 and are working effectively as evidenced by the 80
