Archrock Announces Upsizing and Pricing of $300 Million of Senior Notes
December 14 2020 - 4:57PM
Archrock, Inc. (NYSE: AROC) (“Archrock”) today announced the
pricing of an upsized private offering by Archrock Partners, L.P.
(“Archrock Partners”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Archrock, of
$300 million aggregate principal amount of 6.250% senior notes due
2028 (the “New Notes”) at an issue price of 104.875% of their face
value. The size of the offering was increased by $50 million from
the previously announced offering size of $250 million. The New
Notes are being offered as additional notes under an indenture,
dated December 20, 2019 (the “Indenture”), pursuant to which the
Issuers previously issued $500 million aggregate principal amount
of 6.250% senior notes due 2028 (the “Initial Notes”). The offering
is expected to close on December 17, 2020, subject to the
satisfaction of customary closing conditions. Archrock Partners
Finance Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Archrock Partners, will
serve as co-issuer of the New Notes. The New Notes will have
identical terms as the Initial Notes, other than the issue date,
and the New Notes and the Initial Notes will be treated as a single
class of securities under the Indenture. Archrock Partners intends
to use the net proceeds of the sale of the New Notes to partially
repay outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility
and for general partnership purposes.
The New Notes have not been registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any
state securities laws and, unless so registered, 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 the rules promulgated thereunder and
applicable state securities laws. The New Notes will be offered
only to qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A
under the Securities Act and non-U.S. persons in transactions
outside the United States in reliance on Regulation S under the
Securities Act.
This press release does 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 jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale
would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the
securities laws of any such jurisdiction.
