Crescent Point Energy Corp. has completed its previously announced bought deal public offering of Crescent Point common shares ("Common Shares") through a syndicate of underwriters co-led by BMO Capital Markets and RBC Capital Markets (collectively the "Underwriters"). Crescent Point issued 48,550,000 Common Shares at a price of CDN$10.30 per Common Share (the "Offering Price"), for gross proceeds of approximately CDN$500 million (the "Offering").
Crescent Point has also granted the Underwriters an over-allotment option (the "Over-Allotment Option") to purchase, on the same terms and conditions of the Offering, up to an additional 15 percent of the Common Shares issued in connection with the Offering. The Over-Allotment Option is exercisable, in whole or in part, by the Underwriters at any time (and from time to time) up to and including 30 days after closing of the Offering. If the Over-Allotment is fully exercised the maximum gross proceeds raised under the Offering will be approximately CDN$575 million.
Crescent Point intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering to partially fund the cash portion of the consideration payable in connection with the acquisition of Hammerhead Energy Inc., an oil and liquids-rich Alberta Montney producer for total consideration of approximately CDN$2.55 billion (the "Transaction"), which was announced on November 6, 2023. If the Transaction is not completed, Crescent Point intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering to reduce existing indebtedness, finance future growth opportunities including acquisitions, finance its capital expenditures or for other general corporate purposes.
