Whiting Petroleum Corporation (NYSE: WLL) today announced that it has extended its offer to exchange (the “Exchange Offer”) all of its outstanding, unregistered 6.625% Senior Notes due 2026 (the “Original Notes”) issued December 27, 2017, for new, registered 6.625% Senior Notes due 2026 (“New Notes”).
The Exchange Offer, which was initially scheduled to expire on July 5, 2018 at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, has now been extended until July 16, 2018 at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, unless further extended by Whiting. As of the issuance of this press release, Whiting had been notified that holders of approximately 90.65% of the outstanding principal of the Original Notes had tendered their Original Notes in the Exchange Offer. Additionally, registered holders of the Original Notes on the July 1, 2018 record date for the July 15, 2018 interest payment date for the Original Notes will be entitled to accrued interest from the December 27, 2017 issuance date through such payment date (payment will occur on July 16, 2018 because July 15, 2018 is not a business day). Accordingly, the New Notes will accrue interest from the July 15, 2018 payment date for the Original Notes, not December 27, 2017. Except for the foregoing, all of the other terms of the Exchange Offer remain as set forth in the exchange offer prospectus, dated June 6, 2018, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and the related transmittal materials for making tenders.
