Saturn Oil & Gas Inc. has priced a private placement dual-tranche offering of Senior Unsecured Notes due 2031 to refinance existing debt and fund an acquisition. The offering consists of US$575 million aggregate principal amount of 8.5% notes and C$185 million aggregate principal amount of 7.5% notes, both issued at par. This refinancing transitions the company's debt structure from senior secured to senior unsecured, extending the tenor to 2031, eliminating mandatory amortization, and relaxing covenants.
The Notes will mature on July 30, 2031, with interest accruing from July 30, 2026, payable semi-annually on January 30 and July 30. The Notes are non-callable for two years, with the first call at par plus 50% of the coupon, stepping down annually. A mandatory semi-annual offer to repurchase 2.5% of principal at 101% begins after the first interest payment.
Saturn Oil & Gas intends to use the net proceeds to finance the cash portion of a proposed acquisition of a private company in southeast Saskatchewan, redeem the full US$504 million aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 9.625% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2029, reduce borrowings under its credit facility, and for general corporate purposes. The company has issued a conditional notice of redemption for the 2029 Notes, which is expected to be completed one business day after the offering closes.
The offering is expected to close on or about July 30, 2026, subject to customary closing conditions. The Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 or applicable Canadian securities laws and are being offered only to qualified institutional buyers and non-U.S. persons in offshore transactions.
