On March 21, 2019, Kosmos Energy Ltd. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing the pricing of $650 million aggregate principal amount of its 7.125% senior notes due 2026 (the “Offering”).  The Offering is expected to close on April 4, 2019 subject to customary closing conditions. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering to fund the redemption of all of its outstanding 7.875% Senior Secured Notes due 2021, of which there is $525 million aggregate principal amount outstanding, to repay a portion of the outstanding indebtedness under its revolving credit facility and to pay fees and expenses related to the redemption, repayment and the Offering. In addition, following the completion of the Offering, the Company expects to reduce commitments under its commercial debt facility by approximately $100 million. The Company is filing a copy of the press release as Exhibit 99.1 hereto, which is incorporated by reference to this Item 8.01.

 

The press release was issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, Rule 135c under the Securities Act of 1933 (as amended), and is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy the notes or any other securities and shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy, or a sale of, the notes or any other securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale is unlawful.
