FOR IMMEDIATE DISTRIBUTION
GEOPARK ANNOUNCES PROPOSED
OFFERING OF SENIOR NOTES
Bogota, Colombia – April 14, 2021 – GeoPark Limited (“GeoPark” or the “Company”) (NYSE: “GPRK”), an exempted company incorporated under the laws of Bermuda, today announced that it intends to offer senior notes (the “Notes”) in a private placement to qualified institutional buyers in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and outside the United States to non-U.S. persons in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Notes constitute a reopening of previously issued US$350,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 5.500% Notes due 2027, which are fully and unconditionally guaranteed jointly and severally by GeoPark Chile SpA and GeoPark Colombia S.L.U. The timing of pricing and terms of the Notes are subject to market conditions and other factors.
Concurrent with the announcement of this proposed offering of Notes, the Company has announced that it is making a cash tender offer to purchase a portion of the Company’s outstanding 6.500% Senior Notes due 2024 (the "2024 Notes") and a consent solicitation to amend the terms of the indenture for the 2024 Notes. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering of the Notes to purchase a portion of the 2024 Notes and for general corporate purposes.
This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy these securities, nor will there be any sale of these 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 state or jurisdiction. The Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act, or any applicable state securities laws, and will be offered only to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act and outside the United States to non-U.S. persons in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act. Unless so registered, the Notes may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws.
