The equity offering has been completed, raising roughly $1.27 billion after the underwriters fully exercised their option for an additional 6.95 million shares. Priced at $23.75 per share, the deal was upsized from the initial $1 billion to help fund the $4.2 billion acquisition of WildFire Energy. Strong institutional demand is signaled by the full option exercise, though the issuance of 53.3 million shares means meaningful dilution for existing holders. Together with a concurrent $500 million senior notes offering, the proceeds lock in the equity portion of the acquisition financing.
