Last week, OGX Petroleo e Gas (“OGX”), a company controlled by Eike Batista, successfully issued $2.563 billion of 7-year senior unsecured notes in a 144A private placement. Due to strong investor interest, the deal was upsized from the original amount of $2 billion and priced at par to yield 8.5%. The spread was 611 bps over like term Treasuries reflecting Moody’s B1 credit rating. Proceeds will be used to fund the company’s expected production and development campaign and for general corporate purposes. When the net proceeds are added to cash on hand, there will be sufficient liquidity to cover these expenses until the company can self-fund through its own cash flow.
