Item 8.01    Other Events.

 

On December 17, 2020, Antero Resources Corporation (the “Company”) issued a press release, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference, announcing that the Company intends to commence a private offering of $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes due 2026 (the “Notes”). The Company intends to use a portion of the net proceeds from the offering to redeem $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 5.125% senior notes due 2022 (the “2022 Notes”) at a redemption price of par plus accrued and unpaid interest, and to use the remaining net proceeds to repay borrowings under its credit facility. The partial redemption of the 2022 Notes is expected to be conditioned on the completion of the offering of the Notes. The foregoing does not constitute a notice of redemption with respect to any of the 2022 Notes. As of November 30, 2020, a total of $1.1 billion was outstanding under the Company’s credit facility.

 

This Current Report on Form 8-K is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities and shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy, or a sale of, any securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction. The securities to be offered have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any state or jurisdiction securities laws, and unless so registered, the securities may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state or jurisdiction securities laws.
