Pattern Detected

Recent OXY headlines — OxyChem divestiture, earnings logistics and dividend — have generally seen modestly positive next-day moves, with only the dividend headline followed by a small negative reaction.

Recent Company History

Over the last few months, OXY has focused on balance sheet improvement and portfolio reshaping. The company completed the $9.7 billion OxyChem sale on Jan 2, 2026, following prior announcements of the deal and use of proceeds toward debt reduction. Regular earnings releases on Nov 10, 2025 and Feb 18, 2026, plus a dividend announcement on Nov 5, 2025, frame a narrative of ongoing capital returns and reporting cadence. Today’s debt tender and covenant changes extend this financial-structure optimization theme.

OXY has an effective S-3ASR shelf registration filed on 2025-07-28 and expiring on 2028-07-28, with no recorded usage in the provided context. This gives the company pre-cleared flexibility to issue securities, even as it currently pursues debt tenders using cash resources.

Analysis

The stock moved +8.9% in the session following this news. A strong positive reaction aligns with OXY’s ongoing balance sheet strategy, as seen in prior debt reduction and the OxyChem divestiture. Retiring up to $700.0 million of notes, with a $58.0 million sub-cap on the 2036 series, would fit the deleveraging path highlighted in recent 10-K and 8-K filings. Investors would still need to weigh sector-wide moves and the company’s existing shelf flexibility when assessing the durability of any sharp upside.

Key Terms

cash tender offers, consent solicitations, senior notes, debentures, +4 more

8 terms

cash tender offers financial

"today announced that it has commenced offers to purchase for cash (collectively, the “Tender Offers”...)"

A cash tender offer is when a company or investor offers to buy shares directly from shareholders for cash, usually at a price higher than the current market value. It’s a way to quickly acquire a large number of shares, often to gain control of a company or influence its decisions.

consent solicitations financial

"and Consent Solicitations (as defined below) with respect to certain series of such senior notes..."

A consent solicitation is a formal request sent to shareholders asking them to approve or waive specific corporate actions — such as contract changes, mergers, or amendments to governance rules — often by signing a written consent instead of voting at a meeting. For investors this matters because it can speed up major decisions and alter rights or payments without a public vote, so shareholders need to weigh potential benefits, risks and any pressure to agree, much like neighbors being asked to sign off on a change to a shared driveway.

senior notes financial

"its outstanding senior notes and debentures listed in the table below..."

Senior notes are a type of loan that a company borrows from investors, promising to pay it back with interest. They are called "senior" because in case the company faces financial trouble, these lenders are paid back before others. This makes senior notes safer for investors compared to other types of loans or bonds.

debentures financial

"its outstanding senior notes and debentures listed in the table below..."

A debenture is a company’s long-term IOU sold to investors that promises regular interest payments and repayment of principal at a set date; unlike equity, it represents debt rather than ownership. Think of it like lending money to a business in exchange for a fixed stream of payments, so investors watch a debenture’s interest rate and the borrower’s financial health to judge income reliability and risk of not being repaid.

reference treasury security financial

"by reference to the applicable fixed spread specified in the table above plus the yield of the applicable U.S. Treasury security..."

A reference treasury security is a specific government bond or bill chosen as the benchmark for valuing or comparing another debt instrument. Think of it like a standard weight on a scale: investors use its yield and price as the baseline to measure risk, set interest spreads, and discount future payments, so changes in that benchmark directly affect how other bonds and interest-sensitive assets are priced.

early tender premium financial

"includes the applicable early tender premium for such series of Notes as set forth in the table above..."

An early tender premium is a small extra payment offered to investors who agree to sell or exchange their securities promptly during a tender offer, acting like a bonus for those who sign up before the deadline. It matters to investors because it changes the effective payout and timing of a deal — taking the premium can boost near‑term cash received but may also lock you into a transaction sooner than you’d otherwise choose, so it affects return and strategy.

accreted value financial

"The accreted value as of April 10, 2026, the next applicable Accreted Value Calculation Date..."

Accreted value is the grown-up worth of a security that was issued at a discount — for example a zero-coupon bond or a bond with original issue discount — after interest or discount has been added over time, up to a given date. Think of it like a snowball that started small and accumulates size as it rolls: for investors it shows the true accumulated value and expected payoff, helps compare yields, and determines tax and accounting treatment.

requisite consent regulatory

"requires the requisite consent applicable to such series of Consent Notes as described in the Offer to Purchase..."

Requisite consent is the formal permission that must be obtained from a regulator, shareholder group, contract counterparty, or other authority before a corporate action can proceed. For investors, it matters because many deals, product launches or policy changes are conditional on this approval; lacking it can delay, alter or scuttle expected outcomes, much like needing a building permit before starting construction.

Occidental is offering to purchase for cash, subject to the order of priority set forth in the table above, up to $700.0 million aggregate principal amount (as such amount may be increased by Occidental, the “Aggregate Cap”) of its Zero Coupon Senior Notes due 2036 (the “0.000% 2036 Notes”), 6.125% Senior Notes due 2031 (the “6.125% 2031 Notes”), 6.625% Senior Notes due 2030 (the “6.625% 2030 Notes”), 7.200% Debentures due 2029 (the “7.200% 2029 Debentures”) and 7.950% Debentures due 2029 (the “7.950% 2029 Debentures” and, together with the 0.000% 2036 Notes, the 6.125% 2031 Notes, the 6.625% 2030 Notes and the 7.200% 2029 Debentures, the “Notes”); provided that Occidental will only accept for purchase up to $58.0 million aggregate principal amount (as such amount may be increased by Occidental, the “Sub-Cap”) of the 0.000% 2036 Notes. Subject to the Aggregate Cap, the Sub-Cap and proration, the amount of a series of Notes that is purchased in the Tender Offers on the Early Settlement Date or the Settlement Date (each defined below), as applicable, will be based on the order of priority (the “Acceptance Priority Levels”) for the Notes as set forth in the table above.

Each Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on March 19, 2026, unless extended or earlier terminated by Occidental (the “Expiration Date”). No tenders submitted after the Expiration Date will be valid. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Tender Offers and Consent Solicitations, the consideration (the “Total Consideration”) for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes validly tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Time (as defined below) and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offers will be determined in the manner described in the Offer to Purchase by reference to the applicable fixed spread specified in the table above plus the yield of the applicable U.S. Treasury security specified in the table above (the “Reference Treasury Security”), based on the bid-side price of such Reference Treasury Security as quoted on the Bloomberg Reference Page specified in the table above at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on March 5, 2026, unless extended or earlier terminated by Occidental with respect to any Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation (such date and time, as it may be extended, the “Price Determination Time”).

Holders of Notes that are validly tendered at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on March 4, 2026 (subject to Occidental’s extension or early termination with respect to any Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation, the “Early Tender Time”) and accepted for purchase pursuant to the applicable Tender Offer will receive the Total Consideration for such series of Notes, which includes the applicable early tender premium for such series of Notes as set forth in the table above (the “Early Tender Premium”). The Total Consideration for a series of Notes minus the Early Tender Premium for such series of Notes is referred to as the “Tender Offer Consideration” for such series of Notes. Holders of Notes validly tendered after the Early Tender Time, but before the Expiration Date, and accepted for purchase pursuant to the applicable Tender Offer will receive the applicable Tender Offer Consideration but will not be eligible to receive the Early Tender Premium. All holders of Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offers will also receive accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on such Notes from the last interest payment date with respect to those Notes to, but not including, the Early Settlement Date or Settlement Date, as applicable.

Notes that have been tendered may be withdrawn from the applicable Tender Offer prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on March 4, 2026 (subject to Occidental’s extension or early termination with respect to the applicable Tender Offer, the “Withdrawal Deadline”). Holders of Notes tendered after the Withdrawal Deadline cannot withdraw their Notes or, in the case of the Consent Notes (as defined below), revoke their consents under a Consent Solicitation unless Occidental is required to extend withdrawal rights under applicable law. Occidental reserves the right, but is under no obligation, to increase the Aggregate Cap and/or the Sub-Cap at any time, subject to applicable law. If Occidental increases the Aggregate Cap and/or the Sub-Cap, it does not expect to extend the applicable Withdrawal Deadline, subject to applicable law.

Subject to the Aggregate Cap, the Sub-Cap and proration, Occidental will purchase any Notes that have been validly tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Time and accepted in the applicable Tender Offer promptly following the Early Tender Time (such date, the “Early Settlement Date”). The Early Settlement Date is expected to occur on the third business day following the Early Tender Time. Settlement for Notes validly tendered after the Early Tender Time, but at or prior to the Expiration Date and accepted for purchase in the applicable Tender Offer, will be promptly following the Expiration Date (such date, the “Settlement Date”). The Settlement Date is expected to occur no later than the second business day following the Expiration Date.

If an aggregate principal amount of Notes validly tendered prior to the Early Tender Time exceeds the Aggregate Cap, Occidental will not accept for purchase any Notes tendered after the applicable Early Tender Time and will, subject to the Aggregate Cap and the Sub-Cap, accept for purchase only the Notes validly tendered before the Early Tender Time pursuant to the Acceptance Priority Levels. Acceptance of tenders of the 0.000% 2036 Notes may be subject to proration if the aggregate principal amount of 0.000% 2036 Notes validly tendered is greater than the Sub-Cap, and acceptance of tenders of any series of Notes may be subject to proration if the aggregate principal amount of all Notes validly tendered is greater than the Aggregate Cap.

As part of the Tender Offers, Occidental is also soliciting consents (the “Consent Solicitations”) from the holders of the 6.125% 2031 Notes, the 6.625% 2030 Notes, the 7.200% 2029 Debentures and the 7.950% 2029 Debentures (collectively, the “Consent Notes”) for certain proposed amendments (the “Proposed Amendments”) described in the Offer to Purchase that would, among other things, eliminate certain of the covenants contained in the indenture governing the Consent Notes with respect to the applicable series of Consent Notes and change the minimum notice period for a notice of redemption to holders in respect of such applicable series of Consent Notes to 5 business days prior to the applicable redemption date. Adoption of the Proposed Amendments with respect to each series of Consent Notes requires the requisite consent applicable to such series of Consent Notes as described in the Offer to Purchase (the “Requisite Consent”). Each holder tendering Consent Notes pursuant to the Tender Offers must also deliver consents to the Proposed Amendments pursuant to the related Consent Solicitation and will be deemed to have delivered their consents by virtue of such tender. Holders may not deliver consents without also tendering their Consent Notes. The Proposed Amendments relating to a series of Consent Notes will become operative with respect to a series of Consent Notes upon Occidental’s acceptance for purchase, pursuant to the applicable Tender Offer, of a principal amount of the applicable series of Consent Notes representing the Requisite Consent for such series of Consent Notes and payment therefor on the Early Settlement Date or Settlement Date, as applicable. If the Proposed Amendments become operative with respect to a series of Consent Notes, holders of that series of Consent Notes that do not tender their Consent Notes of such series prior to the Expiration Date, or at all, will be bound by the Proposed Amendments, meaning that such holders will no longer have the benefit of certain covenants contained in the indenture governing such series of Consent Notes, and Consent Notes of such series held by such holders will be subject to redemption based upon the shorter notice period.

The Tender Offers are not conditioned on the tender of any minimum principal amount of Notes, the consummation of any other Tender Offer or obtaining any Requisite Consent. However, the Tender Offers and Consent Solicitations are subject to, and conditioned upon, the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions described in the Offer to Purchase.

Citigroup Global Markets Inc. is the sole Lead Dealer Manager (the “Lead Dealer Manager”) in connection with the Tender Offers and the sole Lead Solicitation Agent in connection with the Consent Solicitations, and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, RBC Capital Markets, LLC, TD Securities (USA) LLC and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC are the Co-Managers in connection with the Tender Offers and the Consent Solicitations.
