Analysis · CRGY · Energy & Transportation
A $1.0 billion public offering of Class A common stock, with a $150 million over-allotment option, is being used to fund part of the $4.22 billion acquisition of Devon Energy's Eagle Ford assets announced earlier today. The offering is priced at $13.47 per share, the October 7 closing price, and KKR-affiliated Independence Energy Aggregator L.P. has indicated interest in purchasing up to $500 million of the shares. This substantial capital raise will dilute existing shareholders, but it is directly tied to a transformative acquisition that adds ~71 MBoe/d of production and 152 MMBoe of proved reserves. The KKR participation provides a partial anchor for the deal, but the remaining $500 million-plus of new equity supply will create near-term overhang on the stock.
