Tidewater Midstream and Infrastructure Ltd (TSX: TWM), a diversified North American energy company, announced the closing of its public offering of $100 million convertible unsecured subordinated debentures. The transaction includes the full exercise of the $13 million over-allotment option by the underwriters.

Attractive terms for the new debentures

The new debentures, issued at a price of $1,000 each, carry a coupon of 8.00% per annum, with semi-annual payments in arrears on June 30 and December 31, starting December 31, 2024. They will mature on June 30, 2029. Holders will be able to convert their securities into Tidewater common shares at a conversion price of $0.78. The debentures will not be redeemable before June 30, 2027.

Partial redemption of the 2019 issue

At the same time, Tidewater will redeem on July 9 $75 million of its 5.50% convertible subordinated debentures due September 30, 2024, issued in 2019. The balance of the net proceeds from the new issue, after this partial buyback, will be used for general corporate purposes, in particular to temporarily reduce the company’s bank debt pending specific allocations. The banking syndicate for the transaction was led by National Bank Financial Inc. and the issue has not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933.
