ONEOK to repurchase $2B of notes in tender
ONEOK updates a $1 billion equity distribution agreement and prices cash tenders to repurchase $2 billion principal of guaranteed notes through its subsidiary.
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
ONEOK, Inc. (OKE) reports amendments to its at-the-market equity program and early results and pricing for large debt tender offers. ONEOK amended its existing $1,000,000,000 Equity Distribution Agreement with BofA Securities and Bank of America, N.A., assuming the obligations of Legacy ONEOK after internal reorganization.
Through subsidiary ONEOK, L.L.C., the company is conducting cash tender offers for up to an aggregate purchase price that will not exceed $2 billion of 20 series of outstanding notes, all fully and unconditionally guaranteed by ONEOK. As of the September 14, 2026 Early Tender Deadline, holders had tendered an aggregate principal amount of notes equal to this Aggregate Maximum Tender Amount, so OpCo does not expect to accept additional tenders submitted after that deadline.
Pricing terms for each series were set on September 15, 2026 based on specified fixed spreads over U.S. Treasury reference yields, with Early Tender Consideration per $1,000 principal amount varying by series. OpCo expects to accept for purchase and pay for $2 billion aggregate principal of notes on the Early Settlement Date, expected September 17, 2026, in addition to accrued and unpaid interest.
