Crescent Energy Announces Pricing of $700 Million Private Placement of 7.625% Senior Notes Due 2032
Crescent Energy Company (NYSE: CRGY) (“we” or “our”) announced today that its indirect subsidiary Crescent Energy Finance LLC (the “Issuer”) has priced its previously announced private placement pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), to eligible purchasers of $700 million aggregate principal amount of 7.625% Senior Notes due 2032 (the “Notes”). The Notes mature on April 1, 2032 and pay interest at the rate of 7.625% per year, payable on April 1 and October 1 of each year. The first interest payment on the Notes will be made on October 1, 2024. The Notes were priced at par. The Notes will be guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by all of the Issuer’s subsidiaries that guarantee its existing notes and the indebtedness under its revolving credit facility (the “revolving credit facility”). This offering is expected to close on March 26, 2024, subject to customary closing conditions.
The Issuer intends to use net proceeds from this offering, together with additional borrowings under the revolving credit facility, to purchase for cash any and all of the Issuer’s outstanding 7.250% Senior Notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”), pursuant to the tender offer that commenced concurrently with the offering of the Notes (the “Tender Offer”), and to the extent any 2026 Notes remain outstanding after the Tender Offer, to fund the full redemption of any 2026 Notes not purchased in the Tender Offer (the “Redemption”). The Tender Offer and the Redemption are each conditioned on the consummation of this offering.
The Notes and the related guarantees have not been registered under the Securities Act, or any state securities laws, and, unless so registered, the Notes and the guarantees may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. The Issuer plans to offer and sell the Notes only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act and to persons outside the United States pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act.
This communication shall not constitute an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy, the securities described herein, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction. Additionally, this communication shall not constitute an offer to purchase or the solicitation of an offer to sell any 2026 Notes in the Tender Offer, nor does it constitute a notice of redemption under the indenture governing the 2026 Notes.
