Southwestern Energy Co. (NYSE: SWN) completed its public offering of 98.9 million common shares, with proceeds totaling about $1.24 million after discounts and expenses, the company said July 5.
The net proceeds will repay $375 million of the $750 million term loan that the company entered into in November 2015 under the amended, restated term loan credit agreement.
Bank of America NA led lenders as administrative agent for this agreement. Payment of the 2015 term loan effectively extends its maturity to Dec. 14, 2020.
The remaining net proceeds will fund the company’s tender offers for buybacks of up to $750 million of its 3.30% senior notes due 2018, 7.50% senior notes due 2018 and 4.05% senior notes due 2020.
The remaining net proceeds will also support general corporate purposes, including additional debts under the 2015 term loan, well completions and other projects, Southwestern said.
Credit Suisse, BofA Merrill Lynch, J.P. Morgan, Citigroup and Mizuho Securities were joint book-running managers for the offering.
