Murphy Oil Corporation (MUR - Free Report) announces pricing of $550 million of 6.375% senior notes due 2028. The offering is likely to close on Mar 5, 2021, subject to customary closing conditions.
The offering is pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement that the company had previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Along with cash on hand and borrowings under its revolving credit facility, the company will use the net proceeds to redeem its existing 4% senior notes due 2022 and 3.700% senior notes due 2022. Also, it will use the funds to pay any related premiums, fees and expenses pertaining to the offering.

Long-term debt including capital lease obligation summed $2,988.1 million on Dec 31, 2020, higher than $2,803.4 million as of Dec 31, 2019. Net interest expenses of the company for 2020 were $169.4 million, down from $219.3 million in 2019.
Murphy Oil has liquidity worth $1.7 billion as of Dec 31, 2020, which is sufficient to meet its near-term obligations.

Bitcoin, Like the Internet Itself, Could Change Everything
Blockchain and cryptocurrency has sparked one of the most exciting discussion topics of a generation. Some call it the “Internet of Money” and predict it could change the way money works forever.

Experts agree we’re still in the early stages of this technology, and as it grows, it will create several investing opportunities.
Zacks’ has just revealed 3 companies that can help investors capitalize on the explosive profit potential of Bitcoin and the other cryptocurrencies with significantly less volatility than buying them directly.
