Antero Resources Corporation announced the pricing of its private placement to eligible purchasers of $700 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.625% senior unsecured notes due 2029 at par (the "Notes"). The offering is expected to close on January 26, 2021, subject to customary closing conditions. Antero Resources estimates that it will receive net proceeds of approximately $692 million, after deducting the initial purchasers' discounts and estimated expenses. Antero Resources intends to use a portion of the net proceeds from the offering to fund the redemption of all $311 million aggregate principal amount of its 5.125% senior notes due 2022 (the "2022 Notes") not previously called for redemption at par plus accrued interest and to use the remaining net proceeds to repay borrowings under its credit facility. The redemption of all 2022 Notes not previously called for redemption is conditioned on the completion of the offering of the Notes. The offering of the Notes is not contingent upon the completion of such redemption.
