Business Wire
Carrizo Oil & Gas, Inc. (NASDAQ: CRZO) today
announced that it has delivered a notice to the trustee for its
7.50% Senior Notes due 2020 (CUSIP No. 144577 AF0) under which it
called for redemption on December 28, 2017 $150 million aggregate
principal amount of the outstanding notes, representing 25% of the
aggregate principal amount of this series of outstanding notes.
The notes will be redeemed at a redemption price of 101.875% of
the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest on
the notes to be redeemed to the redemption date. The funds to be
used for the redemption are expected to primarily be proceeds from
Carrizo’s previously-announced divestiture program, including the
sale of properties in the Marcellus Shale and Utica Shale.
David Pitts, Carrizo’s Vice President and CFO, commented on the
announcement, “Consistent with our leverage reduction goals, we are
using the divestiture proceeds we have received to date to retire a
portion of our senior notes. We expect to receive additional cash
proceeds in early 2018, and currently expect to allocate this to
further debt reduction.”
Selection of the notes for redemption will be made by the
trustee in accordance with the terms of the indenture governing
such notes based on The Depository Trust Company’s method that most
nearly approximates pro rata selection unless otherwise required by
law; provided, that notes and portions of notes selected shall be
in amounts of $2,000 or whole multiples of $1,000 in excess of
$2,000, except that if all of the notes of a registered holder are
to be redeemed, the entire outstanding amount of notes held by such
registered holder, even if not a multiple of $1,000, shall be
redeemed.
This news release shall not constitute a notice of redemption
with respect to or an offer to purchase or sell (or the
solicitation of an offer to purchase or sell) any securities.
