Anadarko Goes to the Well (APC, JPM, UBS, CS)
Anadarko Petroluem Corporation (NYSE:APC) has priced two tranches of senior notes, one of $500 million due 2014 at a coupon of 7.625% and the other of $600 million due 2019 at a coupon of 8.7%. Joint book-runners for the notes…
Anadarko plans to close the offering on March 5th, and will use the proceeds “for general corporate purposes, including repayment of certain debt maturing during 2009.” The company’s total long-term debt is nearly $11 billion, and its deferred long-term liability charges amount to another nearly $10 billion. Cash flow from operations reached about $6.44 billion in 2008, and the cash flows from investing and financing totaled a negative $5.35 billion. Cash and equivalents at December 30th were $1.09 billion.
Back in January, we did a story on a possible shopping trip by big oil. One of the targets we mentioned then was Anadarko, and it’s market cap has fallen by about $4 billion since January. As its market cap falls, Anadarko’s debt becomes less of a factor and its solid assets become more attractive.
