The funds will also pay certain fees, commissions and related expenses.
Ultra Petroleum also reported April 3 that the proposed senior secured first-lien RBL term loan was increased to $800 million from $600 million, and that the proposed borrowing base was increased to $1.2 billion from $1 billion.
The facility is being raised in connection with Ultra's emergence from Chapter 11 proceedings, the press release said.
