Crescent Energy Announces Pricing of Upsized $600 Million Private Placement of 2.75% Convertible Senior Notes Due 2031March 3, 2026 11:55 PM
Business Wire
A portion of the proceeds to be used to purchase a capped call to offset any share dilution up to a 100% premium to the current share price
Crescent Energy Company (NYSE: CRGY) (“Crescent” or the “Company”) announced today that it has priced its previously announced private placement offering to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) of $600 million aggregate principal amount of 2.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2031 (the “notes”). The size of this offering was increased from the previously announced $400 million to $600 million. The issuance and sale of the notes are scheduled to settle on March 6, 2026, subject to customary closing conditions. The Company also granted the initial purchasers of the notes an option to purchase, for settlement within a period of 13 calendar days from, and including, the date the notes are first issued, up to an additional $90 million aggregate principal amount of notes.
The Company estimates that the net proceeds from the offering will be approximately $582 million (or approximately $670 million if the initial purchasers fully exercise their option to purchase additional notes), after deducting the initial purchasers discounts and commissions and the Company’s estimated offering expenses. The Company intends to use approximately $49 million (or approximately $57 million if the initial purchasers fully exercise their option to purchase additional notes) of the net proceeds to fund the cost of entering into the capped call transactions described below. In addition, the Company intends to use approximately $512 million of the net proceeds to redeem all of the outstanding 9.250% Senior Notes due 2028 issued by Crescent Energy Finance LLC. The Company expects to use the remainder of the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, which may include the additional repayment of indebtedness of its subsidiaries. If the initial purchasers exercise their option to purchase additional notes, the Company intends to use a portion of the additional net proceeds to fund the cost of entering into additional capped call transactions as described below and for general corporate purposes, which may include the additional repayment of indebtedness.
The notes will be senior, unsecured obligations of the Company and will accrue interest at a rate of 2.75% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning on September 15, 2026. The notes will not be guaranteed by any subsidiary of the Company, and the Company's subsidiaries will have no obligations under the notes. The notes will mature on March 15, 2031, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted. Before December 15, 2030, noteholders will have the right to convert their notes only in certain circumstances and during specified periods. From and after December 15, 2030, noteholders may convert their notes at any time at their election until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date. The Company will settle conversions of notes by paying or delivering, as the case may be, cash, shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”) or a combination of cash and the Company’s Common Stock, at its election.
The initial conversion rate is 67.1456 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes, which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $14.89 per share of Common Stock and a premium of approximately 32.5% over the last reported sale price of $11.24 per share of the Company's Common Stock on March 3, 2026. After entering into the capped call transactions (as further discussed below), the cap price of the capped call transactions will initially be $22.48 per share, representing a premium of 100% over the last reported sale price of $11.24 per share of the Company's Common Stock on March 3, 2026; the capped call transactions are expected to generally reduce the potential dilution to the Company's Common Stock upon any conversion of the notes and/or offset any potential cash payments the Company is required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted notes, as the case may be, upon any conversion of the notes. The conversion rate, conversion price and cap price will be subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events.
The notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part (subject to certain limitations), for cash at the Company’s option at any time, and from time to time, on or after March 22, 2029 and on or before the 30th scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, but only if the last reported sale price per share of the Company’s Common Stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price then in effect for a specified period of time and certain other conditions are satisfied. The redemption price will be equal to the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date.
If certain corporate events that constitute a “fundamental change” occur, then, subject to limited exceptions, noteholders may require the Company to repurchase their notes for cash. The repurchase price will be equal to the principal amount of the notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the applicable repurchase date.
In connection with the pricing of the notes, the Company entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions with one or more of the initial purchasers or their affiliates and one or more other financial institutions (the “option counterparties”). The capped call transactions will cover, subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the notes, the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock underlying the notes. If the initial purchasers exercise their option to purchase additional notes, then the Company expects to enter into additional capped call transactions with the option counterparties, and will use a portion of the additional net proceeds to fund the cost of such additional capped call transactions (and the remainder for the same purposes as described above).
The capped call transactions are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution to the Company’s Common Stock upon any conversion of the notes and/or offset any potential cash payments the Company is required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted notes, as the case may be, upon conversion of the notes. If, however, the market price per share of the Company’s Common Stock, as measured under the terms of the capped call transactions, exceeds the cap price of the capped call transactions, there would nevertheless be dilution and/or there would not be an offset of such potential cash payments, in each case, to the extent that such market price exceeds the cap price of the capped call transactions.
In connection with establishing their initial hedges of the capped call transactions, the option counterparties or their respective affiliates expect to enter into various derivative transactions with respect to the Company’s Common Stock and/or purchase shares of the Company's Common Stock concurrently with, or shortly after, the pricing of the notes. This activity could increase (or reduce the size of any decrease in) the market price of the Company’s Common Stock or the notes at that time.
In addition, the option counterparties and/or their respective affiliates may modify their hedge positions by entering into or unwinding various derivatives with respect to the Company’s Common Stock and/or purchasing or selling the Company's Common Stock or other securities of the Company in secondary market transactions following the pricing of the notes and prior to the maturity of the notes (and are likely to do so following any conversion of the notes, any repurchase of the notes by the Company on any fundamental change repurchase date, any redemption date or any other date on which the Company retires any notes, in each case if the Company elects to terminate the relevant portion of the capped call transactions and in connection with any negotiated unwind or modification of the capped call transactions). This activity could also cause or avoid an increase or a decrease in the market price of the Company’s Common Stock or the notes, which could affect the ability of noteholders to convert the notes and, to the extent the activity occurs following conversion or during any observation period related to a conversion of notes, it could affect the number of Common Stock, if any, and value of the consideration that noteholders will receive upon conversion of the notes.
The offer and sale of the notes and any shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the notes have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act or any other securities laws. As a result, the notes and any such shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the notes may not be offered or sold except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and other applicable securities laws. Accordingly, the notes are being offered only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers in compliance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act.
This communication shall not constitute an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy, the securities described herein, 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.

The Company intends to use a portion of the net proceeds from the offering to fund the cost of entering into the capped call transactions described below. The Company expects to use the remainder of the net proceeds, together with borrowings under the Crescent Energy Finance LLC’s (“Crescent Finance”) revolving credit facility, to redeem all of the outstanding 9.250% Senior Notes due 2028 issued by Crescent Finance (the “2028 Notes”).
The notes will be senior, unsecured obligations of the Company and will accrue interest payable semi-annually in arrears and will mature on March 15, 2031, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted.

The interest rate, initial conversion rate and other terms of the notes will be determined at the pricing of the offering.
If the initial purchasers exercise their option to purchase additional notes, the Company intends to use a portion of the additional net proceeds to fund the cost of entering into additional capped call transactions as described below and to redeem the 2028 Notes, which will reduce additional borrowings under Crescent Energy’s revolving credit facility.

The capped call transactions are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution to the Company’s Common Stock upon any conversion of the notes and/or offset any potential cash payments the Company is required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted notes, as the case may be, upon any conversion of the notes, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap. If, however, the market price per share of the Company’s Common Stock, as measured under the terms of the capped call transactions, exceeds the cap price of the capped call transactions, there would nevertheless be dilution to the extent that such market price exceeds the cap price of the capped call transactions.
