Insights

Capital structure analyst

Upsized debt pricing: $700M at 7.625%, due 2032.

Nabors Industries, Inc. priced $700,000,000 of Senior Priority Guaranteed Notes with a 7.625% coupon, maturing in 2032. The offering was increased from an initial launch of $550,000,000 announced earlier the same day.

This locks in a fixed-rate borrowing cost through 2032 and adds senior, guaranteed debt at the subsidiary level. Actual balance sheet effects depend on closing and subsequent capital allocation, which are not detailed in the excerpt.

Key facts to watch—kept to disclosed items—are the final settlement details and any follow-on disclosures about use of proceeds or refinancing plans, if provided in subsequent filings.
