Key Terms

second-priority senior secured notes, special mandatory redemption, reserves-based revolving credit facility, rule 144a, +1 more

5 terms

second-priority senior secured notes financial

"new 8.000% Second-Priority Senior Secured Notes due 2034 (the "New Notes")"

Debt securities that are backed by specific company assets but rank behind another secured loan when claims are paid; think of two lenders holding the same car title, where the first lender gets paid from sale proceeds before the second. Investors care because these notes offer higher interest than top-priority debt to compensate for greater recovery risk if the company defaults, and their position affects how much principal investors are likely to recover and how the notes trade in the market.

special mandatory redemption financial

"will be subject to a "special mandatory redemption" at a redemption price"

A special mandatory redemption is a contractual obligation that forces a company to repay certain debt or preferred shares early when a specific trigger event occurs (for example, a change in tax law, regulatory change, or sale). For investors it matters because it ends the expected income stream and returns principal at a pre-set price, potentially altering returns, tax outcomes and a company’s cash needs — like a lender calling a loan back when rules change.

reserves-based revolving credit facility financial

"existing first-priority obligations under its senior reserves-based revolving credit facility"

A reserves-based revolving credit facility is a loan line where a company borrows against the estimated value of its natural-resource reserves (for example oil, gas, or minerals), with the lender setting the borrowing limit based on reserve size and current commodity prices. It works like a home-equity line of credit but uses resource reserves as collateral and lets the company draw, repay, and redraw funds as needed; changes in reserve estimates or market prices can raise or cut the available credit, so investors watch it as a key indicator of a company’s liquidity, borrowing risk, and sensitivity to commodity prices.

rule 144a regulatory

"buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933"

Rule 144A is a regulation that makes it easier for companies to sell private bonds to large investors without going through all the usual rules that apply to public sales. It matters because it helps companies raise money more quickly and privately, often attracting big investors looking for special deals.

regulation s regulatory

"outside the United States only in compliance with Regulation S under the Securities Act"

Regulation S is a set of rules that allows companies to sell securities (like shares or bonds) to investors outside the United States without having to follow all U.S. securities laws. It matters because it makes it easier for companies to raise money from international investors while still complying with U.S. regulations.

HOUSTON, July 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Talos Energy Inc. ("Talos") (NYSE: TALO) today announced that Talos Production Inc. (the "Company"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Talos, has priced an offering (the "Offering") of $800 million in aggregate principal amount of new 8.000% Second-Priority Senior Secured Notes due 2034 (the "New Notes"). The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering to (i) fund a portion of the cash consideration for the Company's recently announced pending Gulf of America acquisition (the "Acquisition"), (ii) fund the redemption (the "Redemption") of all of the outstanding 9.000% Second-Priority Senior Secured Notes due 2029 issued by the Company (the "2029 Notes"), and (iii) pay related fees and expenses. The Offering is expected to close on or about July 13, 2026, subject to customary closing conditions.

If the Acquisition is not consummated on or before December 31, 2026, if the Company notifies the trustee of the New Notes that it will not pursue the consummation of the Acquisition, or if the third-party preferential right to purchase certain assets subject to the Acquisition is exercised, then an aggregate of $175 million principal amount of the New Notes will be subject to a "special mandatory redemption" at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the New Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date.

It is expected that the New Notes will be guaranteed on a senior basis by Talos and certain of the Company's existing and future subsidiaries and will initially be secured on a second-priority basis by substantially the same collateral as the Company's existing first-priority obligations under its senior reserves-based revolving credit facility.

The New Notes are being offered in the United States only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and to persons outside the United States only in compliance with Regulation S under the Securities Act. The New Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements.

This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any security, nor shall there be any sale of the New Notes or any other security of the Company, in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. This press release does not constitute a notice of redemption under the optional redemption provisions of the indenture governing the 2029 Notes.
