NEWS RELEASEPAR PACIFIC HOLDINGS’ RIGHTS OFFERING FULLY SUBSCRIBED
Company Received Subscriptions for Over 300% of Available Shares
HOUSTON, September 15, 2016 – Par Pacific Holdings, Inc. (NYSE MKT: PARR) (“Par Pacific” or the “Company”) today announced that its registered rights offering (the “Rights Offering”) was fully subscribed. The subscription period for the Rights Offering expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on September 14, 2016.
The Company received subscriptions for more than 300% of the shares available in the Rights Offering. Accordingly, shareholders will receive their basic subscription privilege but, because there are not enough shares to satisfy all oversubscriptions, remaining shares will be allocated pro-rata, after eliminating all fractional shares, among oversubscribing stockholders.
The Rights Offering is expected to result in gross proceeds, before expenses, to the Company of approximately $49.9 million. The Company will use the proceeds from the Rights Offering to repay all accrued and unpaid interest and a portion of the outstanding principal amount on its 2.5% convertible subordinated bridge notes. The remaining outstanding aggregate principal amount on the bridge notes will be mandatorily converted into shares of common stock based on a conversion price of $12.25 per share.
