ONEOK Inc. has priced an offering to sell $7 billion senior notes of varying durations and terms, according to a Sept. 10 press release.
ONEOK expects net proceeds from the offer of approximately $6.92 billion. The company intends to use the proceeds to fund its previously announced acquisition of Global Infrastructure Partners’ interest in midstream companies EnLink and Medallion.
ONEOK announced an overall $5.9 billion deal for a controlling interest in EnLink Midstream and Medallion Midstream on Aug. 28. The deal would give ONEOK a fully integrated Permian Basin platform that will secure traffic on its pipelines out of the country’s most productive play.
ONEOK is offering three-, five- and seven-year notes, which would be subject to a "special mandatory redemption" if the EnLink transaction is not completed by Aug. 28, 2025.
If the EnLink purchase agreement is terminated or ONEOK otherwise notifies the trustee in writing that it will not pursue the consummation of the EnLink deal, then the three-, five- and seven-year notes could also face a mandatory redemption.
Any remaining net proceeds from the offering will be used for general corporate purposes, which may include outstanding debt repayment, including the repurchase or redemption of existing notes, ONEOK said.
The offer is set to close by Sept. 24, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

- $1.25 billion of three-year senior notes at a coupon of 4.25%;
