Rex Energy Postpones Senior Notes Offering
STATE COLLEGE, Pa., November 27, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Rex Energy announced today that due to current market conditions, it has decided not to proceed with its planned offering of $250 million in aggregate principal amount of senior notes, which it had previously announced on November 12, 2012.
“The conditions in the debt capital markets have led us to conclude that now is not the right time to move forward with an offering of senior notes,” said Tom Stabley, Rex Energy’s Chief Executive Officer. “We were seeking to access the debt capital markets to enhance our already strong balance sheet, but we have the flexibility to be opportunistic about timing while maintaining our disciplined approach to raising capital.”
