Explanatory Note
This Amendment No. 1 on Form 8-K/A (the “Form 8-K/A”) is being filed to amend and supplement the Current Report on Form 8-K of Sable Offshore Corp. (the “Company”) filed on November 3, 2025 (the “Initial Form 8-K”). The Initial Form 8-K reported the entry by the Company and Exxon Mobil Corporation into an amendment (the "Amendment”) to the Company's Senior Secured Term Loan. The Company is filing this Form 8-K/A to report the satisfaction of the conditions to, and effectiveness of, the Amendment.
The information previously reported in or filed with the Initial Form 8-K is hereby incorporated by reference into this Form 8-K/A.
Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On November 24, 2025, the Company satisfied all the conditions to effectiveness of the Amendment, including the condition that the Company receive cash proceeds in an amount no less than $225,000,000, which the Company satisfied on November 12, 2025, with the successful private placement of $250,000,000 of the Company’s common stock, and the Amendment became effective.
The Amendment extends the maturity date of the Senior Secured Term Loan to the earlier of (i) March 31, 2027 or (ii) the date falling 90 days after first sales of hydrocarbons. The Amendment increases the interest rate from ten percent (10%) per annum to fifteen percent (15%) per annum, compounded annually, payable in arrears on January 1st of each year. At the Company’s election, accrued but unpaid interest may be deemed paid on each interest payment date by adding the amount of interest owed to the outstanding principal (paid-in-kind) amount under the Senior Secured Term Loan. The Amendment also includes additional reporting covenants and a financial liquidity covenant that requires the Company to have not less than $25.0 million in unrestricted cash, measured at the end of each month.
The foregoing summary of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated into this Item 1.01 by reference.

In particular, and without limiting the foregoing, nothing contained herein shall be construed as permitting any Credit Party to enter into any Capital Lease or other long-term Indebtedness for, or grant any Lien (other than a Permitted Lien) over, any offshore storage and treatment facilities and/or floating production, storage and offloading facilities in connection with the OS&T / FPSO Project that takes, or purports to take, priority over the first Lien rights granted under the Financing Documents.
