Range Resources Redeems $500MM in Senior Notes

Range Resources Corp. has redeemed all $500 million in outstanding principal of its 6.75% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2020 (CUSIP No. 75281AAL3) at a price of 103.375% of the unpaid principal amount plus accrued interest. The notes were redeemed on August 3, 2015 with borrowings under the Company's bank credit facility.

Range had previously funded the redemption at significantly lower cost through its offering in May 2015 of $750 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes due 2025 at par, which carry an interest rate of 4.875%. Pending redemption of the 6.75% senior subordinated notes, funds were used to temporarily reduce borrowings under the bank credit facility. With this transaction completed, Range has reduced its interest expense on the refinanced debt by 1.875%, which amounts to over $9 million annual savings, while extending the average maturity of its debt. Currently Range has a Moody's corporate family rating of Ba1 with a positive outlook and a Standard & Poor's corporate credit rating of BB+ with a stable outlook. Liquidity under the borrowing base of Range's bank credit facility is approximately $2 billion after the redemption. The borrowing base is not scheduled for redetermination until May 1, 2016.
