Talos Energy shares rose after the company's production subsidiary began an offering of $800 million second-priority senior secured notes due 2034.
The stock was 6.6% higher at $13.76, and is up 25% so far this year.
The energy company said it intends to use the proceeds from the offering to fund a portion of the cash consideration for its recently announced buy of Gulf of America, and to fund the redemption of all of the outstanding 9% second-priority senior secured notes due 2029.
Talos expects the new notes will be guaranteed on a senior basis.
