Santos to Raise $2.46 Billion With Share Issue, Gas Field Sale
SYDNEY Debt-laden Santos Ltd. said it would sell a stake in a gas field, issue new shares, and bring on board a Chinese private-equity firm as a cornerstone investor in a package of measures to raise 3.50 billion Australian dollars ($2.46 billion).
On Monday, Santos said it would seek to raise up to A$2.5 billion by issuing new shares to existing investors at A$3.85 each. That represented a deep 35% discount to the stock's closing price of A$5.91 on Friday.
The Adelaide-based company said it would raise a further A$500 million by issuing around 73.5 million new shares to a unit of Chinese private-equity firm Hony Capital. The placement would be made at A$6.80 a share, representing a 15% premium to Friday's close.
Santos has also agreed to sell its 35% stake in the Kipper gas field offshore Victoria state in southeastern Australia to Japan's Mitsui & Co. Ltd. for A$520 million.
