DALLAS -- (Business Wire)

Matador Resources Company (NYSE: MTDR) (“Matador”) announced today that it has priced an upsized private offering of $175 million aggregate principal amount of its 6.875% Senior Notes due 2023 (the “Additional Notes”). The Additional Notes will be issued at 105.5% of par, plus accrued interest from October 15, 2016. The offering is expected to close on December 9, 2016, subject to customary closing conditions.

The Additional Notes are being offered as additional notes to Matador’s existing $400 million aggregate principal amount of 6.875% Senior Notes due 2023 that Matador issued in a private placement on April 14, 2015. The Additional Notes and the notes issued on April 14, 2015 will be treated as a single class of debt securities and will have identical terms, other than the issue date. However, because Matador is issuing the Additional Notes in a private offering exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), they initially will not be fungible for trading purposes with the existing notes and will trade under different CUSIP numbers. Following the completion of a registered exchange offer for the Additional Notes, they will be fungible with the existing notes and will trade under the same CUSIP number as the existing notes.

Matador intends to use the net proceeds from this offering to fund the aggregate purchase price for approximately 4,600 net leasehold acres and estimated current net production of approximately 1,150 barrels of oil equivalent per day from wells producing on this acreage in Eddy and Lea Counties, New Mexico as well as approximately 475 net mineral acres in Eddy and Lea Counties, New Mexico, to fund the capital expenditures for a number of midstream initiatives in the Delaware Basin that are either in progress or that Matador expects to begin by the end of the first quarter of 2017, to repay outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility and for general corporate purposes, including capital expenditures associated with the addition of a fourth drilling rig.

The Additional Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. The Additional Notes may be resold by the initial purchasers pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act.

This press release is being issued pursuant to Rule 135c under the Securities Act and is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy any of these securities, nor shall there be any sale of these securities 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.
