Tourmaline Raises $250 Million Through Bond Issuance for Debt Reduction
According to BOE Report, Tourmaline Oil Corp. has agreed to issue $250 million in senior unsecured notes due March 2031. The Canadian oil and gas producer will use the proceeds to repay existing debt and fund general corporate purposes, with the notes carrying a 3.934% annual interest rate and receiving a BBB (High) rating from DBRS Limited.
The Calgary-based company, one of North America’s largest oil and gas producers, aims to maintain a long-term net debt target of $1.75 billion. The notes were offered through a syndicate led by Scotiabank, CIBC Capital Markets, and National Bank Capital Markets.
