Permian Resources Corporation (“Permian Resources,” “we,” “us” or “our”) (NYSE: PR) announced today that Permian Resources Operating, LLC (the “Issuer”), a subsidiary of Permian Resources, has priced its previously announced private placement pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), to eligible purchasers of $1,000.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.25% senior notes due 2033 (the “Notes”). This offering was upsized from an initial offering size of $750.0 million aggregate principal amount. The Notes mature on February 1, 2033 and pay interest at the rate of 6.25% per year, payable on August 1 and February 1 of each year. The first interest payment on the Notes will be made on February 1, 2025. The Notes were priced at par. The Notes will be guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by Permian Resources and all of the Issuer’s subsidiaries that guarantee the Issuer’s obligations under its revolving credit facility (the “credit facility”).

The Issuer intends to use the net proceeds from this offering (i) to purchase for cash any and all of the Issuer’s outstanding 7.75% Senior Notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”), pursuant to the tender offer that commenced concurrently with this offering (the “Tender Offer”), including any related premiums and expenses in connection therewith, (ii) to the extent any 2026 Notes remain outstanding after the Tender Offer, to fund the redemption of all 2026 Notes not purchased in the Tender Offer (the “Redemption”), (iii) to fund a portion of the purchase price for the recently announced acquisition of oil and gas properties, interests and related assets owned by certain affiliates of Occidental Petroleum Corporation (the “Acquisition”) and (iv) with any remaining net proceeds, to repay a portion of the amounts outstanding under the credit facility.

This offering is expected to close on August 5, 2024, subject to customary conditions. The Tender Offer is conditioned on the consummation of this offering, but this offering is not conditioned upon the completion of the Tender Offer.

The Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act, or any state securities laws, and, unless so registered, the Notes may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. The Issuer plans to offer and sell the Notes only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act and to persons outside the United States pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act.

This communication shall not constitute an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy, any of the Notes, nor shall there be any sale of the Notes in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction. Additionally, this communication shall not constitute an offer to purchase or the solicitation of an offer to sell any 2026 Notes in the Tender Offer, nor does it constitute a notice of redemption under the indenture governing the 2026 Notes.
