Balance-sheet stress / refinancing

2026 and 2027 debt maturities

RBL refinancing under way, targeted Q4

Since Nov 2025 Kosmos has refinanced near-term maturities, eased RBL covenants and raised ~$200m of equity in March 2026. The EG sale completed on 16 Jun 2026. With Q2 results on 3 Aug 2026 it reported net debt of ~$2.56bn, said RBL refinancing has begun with completion targeted by Q4, and added 2027 hedges. The ~20% debt reduction target stands.
