The 8-K prints 3.00% OID. The filed exhibit does not.
The 3.00% in the exhibit is the Term SOFR Floor.
On 17 August 2026, Phoenix Energy One, LLC filed a Form 8-K for an event dated 12 August 2026. The original-issue-discount sentence is the tell. Item 1.01 states that the Amendment No. 7 Discretionary Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments are subject to original issue discount of 3.00%. A reader who stopped at the 8-K would treat 3.00% as the printed discount.
The same Item 1.01, accession 0001193125-26-354088, points to an exhibit that does not print original issue discount of 3.00%.
On 12 August 2026 the Company, Phoenix Operating LLC, the Guarantors party thereto, the Specified Additional Guarantor, the Lenders party thereto, and Fortress Credit Corp., as administrative agent and as collateral agent, entered into Amendment No. 10 to Amended and Restated Senior Secured Credit Agreement. Item 1.01 and Exhibit 10.1 both print the $75 million delayed-draw and a repayment-premium MOIC of 1.15 / 1.18. Those match. This memo does not interpret unused capacity. The holding language is the discount.
Item 1.01 states the discount this way.
The Amendment No. 7 Discretionary Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments are subject to original issue discount of 3.00%.
That sentence is in Item 1.01. A stranger can open the filing and match it. The same Item 1.01 states the delayed-draw and the MOIC this way.
Amendment No. 10, among other things, established $75 million aggregate principal amount in Amendment No. 7 Discretionary Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments, all of which were drawn as of the Amendment No. 10 Effective Date, and thereby reduced the aggregate principal amount available on a discretionary basis from $225 million to $150 million ... to be an amount sufficient to achieve a MOIC of (i) 1.15 with respect to the Amendment No. 7 Term Loans, the February 2026 Amendment No. 7 Delayed Draw Term Loans and the August 2026 Amendment No. 7 Delayed Draw Term Loans, (ii) 1.18 with respect to each other Group of Loans
The 8-K says the description is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by Amendment No. 10, filed as Exhibit 10.1. Exhibit 10.1’s WHEREAS clause asks to establish $75,000,000 in Amendment No. 7 Discretionary Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments. Its definition of Repayment Premium prints 1.15 and 1.18 for those same groups. Those hold. Exhibit 10.1, §3.05(b), is the credit agreement on the discount.
the Amendment No. 7 Delayed Draw Term Loans funded on the Amendment No. 8 Effective Date and on the Amendment No. 10 Effective Date shall be funded net of original issue discount in the amount set forth in the Amendment No. 7 Fee Letter.
The amount is in the Amendment No. 7 Fee Letter. It is not printed as 3.00% in Exhibit 10.1. Item 9.01 lists Exhibit 10.1 and the cover-page XBRL. The Amendment No. 7 Fee Letter is not an exhibit to this 8-K. A 3.00% original issue discount is not in the exhibit.
The 3.00% that Exhibit 10.1 does print is the interest-rate floor.
“Floor” means a rate of interest per annum equal to (a) 3.00%, with respect to Term SOFR and (b) 4.00%, with respect to ABR.
That is the Term SOFR Floor. It is not original issue discount of 3.00%.

The year-later object
On 17 August 2027 the interesting fact will not be whether a name “beat” a quarter. It will be whether the original issue discount on the Amendment No. 7 Delayed Draw Term Loans funded on the Amendment No. 10 Effective Date was the 3.00% Item 1.01 printed, or the amount set forth in the Amendment No. 7 Fee Letter, which is not an exhibit to this 8-K. The 3.00% in the exhibit is the Term SOFR Floor. The mechanism is the receipt. The stock is not.
