CNX Resources Corporation (NYSE: CNX) today announced the closing of its previously announced private offering of $345.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 2.25% convertible senior notes due 2026, including the full exercise of the $45.0 million option to purchase additional Notes granted by CNX to the initial purchasers. The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a senior, unsecured basis, by the Company's subsidiaries that currently or in the future guarantee the Company's existing 5.875% senior notes due 2022 or 7.25% senior notes due 2027.
In connection with the pricing of the Notes, CNX entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions with certain of the initial purchasers or their respective affiliates and/or other financial institutions (the "option counterparties"). The capped call transactions are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution to CNX's common stock upon any conversion of Notes and/or offset any cash payments CNX is required to make in excess of the principal amount of such converted notes, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap.
CNX estimates that the net proceeds from the offering will be approximately $333.9 million, after deducting the initial purchasers' discount and estimated offering expenses payable by CNX (giving effect to the full exercise of the initial purchasers' option to purchase additional Notes). CNX intends to use a portion of the net proceeds from the offering to fund the cost of entering into the capped call transactions described above. CNX expects to use the remainder of the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes, including the repayment or redemption of outstanding indebtedness.
