Having successfully concluded the bond issue and secured an underwritten commitment for the refinancing of its existing bank debt with a new five year $900 million secured bank loan facility from DnB NOR, Nordea and SEB, Aker Drilling began the bookbuilding period for its IPO last week. The company is looking to raise up to NOK 3.6 billion, with the number of shares issued ranging from 189.5 million to 133.3 million depending on the price. The indicative price range is NOK 19 to NOK 27/share for the offering. Based upon the number of shares post-issue (282.5 million to 226.3 million), the shareholding of new investors would range from 58.9% to 67.1%. Finally, the post-issue market capitalization could be as low as NOK 5.4 billion to as high as $6.2 billion.
