To fund its $4.2 billion acquisition of WildFire Energy, Magnolia Oil & Gas is adding a $500 million senior unsecured notes offering to the financing mix. This debt raise, combined with the recently upsized $1.24 billion equity offering and credit facility borrowings, completes the cash portion of the deal. The notes are being placed privately to institutional investors, and the terms—including the interest rate—have not yet been set. While the debt adds leverage, it diversifies funding sources and reduces reliance on equity dilution. The offering is a critical step toward closing the transformative acquisition.
