Helmerich & Payne, Inc. (NYSE:HP) (“H&P” or the “Company”) announced today that it has priced an offering (the “Offering”) of $1.25 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes, comprised of the following tranches (collectively, the “Notes”): $350 million aggregate principal amount of 4.650% senior notes due 2027 to be issued at a price equal to 99.958% of their face value, $350 million aggregate principal amount of 4.850% senior notes due 2029 to be issued at a price equal to 99.883% of their face value and $550 million aggregate principal amount of 5.500% senior notes due 2034 to be issued at a price equal to 99.670% of their face value.

The Offering is expected to close on September 17, 2024, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering, together with the proceeds of its term loan credit facility and cash on hand, to finance the purchase price for its previously announced pending acquisition (the “Acquisition”) of KCA Deutag International Limited (“KCAD”), to repay certain of KCAD’s outstanding indebtedness, and to pay related fees and expenses. The net proceeds from the Offering will reduce the commitments under the Company’s existing bridge loan facility for purposes of financing the Acquisition to approximately $332 million.

The Notes will be subject to a “special mandatory redemption” in the event that the consummation of the Acquisition does not occur on or before October 25, 2025, or if the Company notifies the trustee of the Notes that it will not pursue the consummation of the Acquisition.

The Notes are being offered only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and to non-U.S. persons outside the United States in compliance with Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state or other jurisdiction's securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States to, or for the benefit of, U.S. persons absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction.

This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any security, nor shall there be any sale of the Notes or any other security of the Company, in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. The Offering is being made solely pursuant to a private offering memorandum and only to such persons and in such jurisdictions as are permitted under applicable law.
