Rhea-AI Filing Summary

ProPetro Holding Corp. completed a private offering of $690 million of 0.00% convertible senior notes due 2031 and amended its asset-based credit facility to increase borrowing capacity and extend its maturity. The notes are senior unsecured obligations that may be settled in cash, stock, or a combination at conversion.

The initial conversion rate is 43.1616 shares per $1,000 principal amount (conversion price about $23.17 per share, a 37.5% premium to the $16.85 stock price on May 4, 2026). ProPetro also entered into capped call transactions, paying about $36.8 million to raise the effective conversion cap to an initial price of approximately $29.49 per share, and increased revolving credit commitments to $350 million under the amended ABL facility.

Insights

ProPetro adds sizable convertible debt while extending and upsizing its ABL capacity.

ProPetro issued $690 million of 0.00% convertible senior notes due 2031 and expanded its amended ABL facility to $350 million. The notes carry no cash coupon, but introduce potential equity dilution at a conversion price of about $23.17 per share, a 37.5% premium to the reference price.

The company layered on capped call transactions, costing about $36.8 million, with an initial cap of roughly $29.49 per share. These are designed to reduce dilution and/or offset cash outflows above principal upon conversion up to the cap. The ABL amendment extends the revolver maturity to May 4, 2031 and adds flexibility around power generation equipment, with advance rates based on book value and liquidation value tests.

Overall, the filing shows a shift toward longer-dated, convertible funding and a larger secured liquidity backstop. Actual effects on leverage and ownership will depend on future share price performance, conversion behavior, and usage of the expanded borrowing base and new convertible indebtedness basket.

0.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2031 financial
"issued $690 million aggregate principal amount of its 0.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2031"
capped call transactions financial
"the Company entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions (the “Capped Call Transactions”)"
Capped call transactions are agreements where investors buy options that give them the chance to benefit if a stock's price goes up, but with a limit on how much they can gain. This helps protect them from paying too much if the stock's price rises a lot, similar to having a maximum limit on a reward. They matter because they help investors manage risk while still allowing some upside potential.
fundamental change financial
"If a fundamental change (as defined in the Indenture) occurs, then, subject to limited exceptions"
A fundamental change is a major shift in how a company or economy operates, like a new technology or a big change in leadership. It matters because such changes can affect the value or stability of investments, making them more or less attractive. Think of it like a major upgrade or shift in the rules of a game that can change the outcome.
borrowing base financial
"adds certain power generation equipment as a new component of the borrowing base under the ABL Credit Facility"
A borrowing base is the amount a lender will allow a company to borrow based on the value of assets the company offers as security, typically things like accounts receivable and inventory. It matters to investors because it sets a practical ceiling on short-term financing and influences a company’s liquidity and risk: if the borrowing base falls, the company may lose access to cash or be forced to sell assets, which can affect operations and share value.
Rule 144A regulatory
"resold the Notes only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act"
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.
qualified institutional buyers regulatory
"resold the Notes only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers"
Qualified institutional buyers are large organizations, like big investment firms or banks, that are allowed to buy certain types of investment opportunities not available to everyday investors. Their size and experience matter because it ensures they understand and can handle complex financial deals, making markets more efficient and secure.

Item 1.01 Entry Into or Amendment of a Material Definitive Agreement

 

Indenture

 

On May 7, 2026, ProPetro Holding Corp. (the “Company”), issued $690 million aggregate principal amount of its 0.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2031 (the “Notes”), which included the exercise in full of the Initial Purchasers’ (as defined below) option to purchase up to an additional $90 million principal amount of Notes. The Notes were issued pursuant to, and are governed by, an indenture (the “Indenture”), dated as of May 7, 2026, between the Company and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”).

 

The Notes are the Company’s senior, unsecured obligations and are (i) senior in right of payment to the Company’s indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Notes; (ii) equal in right of payment to any of the Company’s unsecured indebtedness that is not so subordinated; (iii) effectively junior to the Company’s secured indebtedness, to the extent of the value of the assets securing that indebtedness; and (iv) structurally junior to all indebtedness and other liabilities (including trade payables) of the Company’s subsidiaries.

 

The Notes will not bear regular interest, and the principal amount of the Notes will not accrete. The Notes will mature on November 15, 2031, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased. Before August 15, 2031, noteholders will have the right to convert their Notes only in certain circumstances and during specified periods. From and after August 15, 2031, noteholders may convert their Notes at any time at their election until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date. The Company will settle conversions by paying or delivering, as applicable, cash, shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 (the “Common Stock”), or a combination of cash and the Company’s Common Stock, at its election. The initial conversion rate is 43.1616 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $23.17 per share of Common Stock and a premium of approximately 37.5% over the last reported sale price of $16.85 per share of the Company’s Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange on May 4, 2026. The conversion rate and conversion price will be subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events.

 

The Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part (subject to certain limitations), at the Company’s option at any time, and from time to time, on or after May 15, 2029 and prior to the 45th scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, at a cash redemption price equal to the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid special interest and additional interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date, but only if the last reported sale price per share of the Common Stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive), including the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides notice of redemption, during any 30 consecutive trading day period ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides notice of redemption. However, the Company may not redeem less than all of the outstanding Notes unless at least $150.0 million aggregate principal amount of Notes are outstanding and not subject to redemption as of, and after giving effect to, delivery of the relevant notice of redemption. If a fundamental change (as defined in the Indenture) occurs, then, subject to limited exceptions, noteholders may require the Company to repurchase the Notes at a cash repurchase price equal to the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid special interest and additional interest, if any, to, but excluding any repurchase date. In addition, if the effective date of a “make-whole fundamental change” (as defined in the Indenture) occurs prior to the maturity date of the Notes or if the Company gives a notice of redemption with respect to any or all of the Notes, the Company will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate for a holder who elects to convert its Notes in connection with such make-whole fundamental change or convert its Notes called for redemption (or deemed called for redemption) in connection with such notice of redemption, as the case may be.

 

 

 

 

The Notes have customary provisions relating to the occurrence of “Events of Default” (as defined in the Indenture), which include the following: (i) a default in any payment of interest on, or payment of principal of, the Notes when due and payable (which, in the case of a default in the payment of special interest or additional interest on the Notes, will be subject to a 30-day cure period); (ii) a default in the Company’s obligation to convert a Note upon the exercise of the conversion right with respect thereto, if such default continues for five business days; (iii) the Company’s failure to send certain notices under the Indenture within specified periods of time; (iv) the Company’s failure to comply with certain covenants in the Indenture relating to the Company’s ability to consolidate with or merge with or into, or sell, convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to another person (other than to one or more of the Company’s direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiaries); (v) a default by the Company in its other obligations or agreements under the Indenture or the Notes if such default is not cured or waived within 60 days after notice is given in accordance with the Indenture; (vi) certain defaults by the Company or any of its significant subsidiaries with respect to indebtedness for borrowed money of at least $50 million; and (vii) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency and reorganization with respect to the Company or any of its significant subsidiaries.

 

If an Event of Default involving bankruptcy, insolvency and reorganization with respect to the Company occurs, then the principal amount of, and all accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, all of the Notes then outstanding will immediately become due and payable without any further action or notice by any person. If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, then the Trustee, by notice to the Company, or noteholders of at least 25% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding, by notice to the Company and the Trustee, may declare the principal amount of, and all accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, all of the Notes then outstanding to become due and payable immediately. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary described above, the Company may elect that the sole remedy for any Event of Default relating to certain failures by the Company to comply with certain reporting covenants in the Indenture consists, for the first 365 days after the occurrence of such Event of Default, exclusively of the right of the noteholders to receive special interest on the Notes. If the Company has made such an election, then on the 366th day after such Event of Default (if such Event of Default is not cured or validly waived in accordance with the Indenture prior to such 366th day), such special interest will cease to accrue and the Notes will be subject to acceleration. In the event the Company does not make such an election, or the Company has made such election but does not pay the additional interest when due, the Notes will be immediately subject to acceleration.

 

The above description of the Indenture and the Notes is a summary and is not complete. A copy of the Indenture and the form of the certificate representing the Notes are filed as Exhibits 4.1 and 4.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and the above summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the terms of the Indenture and the Note set forth in such exhibits.

 

Capped Call Transactions

 

On May 4, 2026, concurrently with the pricing of the Notes, and on May 5, 2026, in connection with the exercise in full by the Initial Purchasers of their option to purchase additional Notes, the Company entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions (the “Capped Call Transactions”) with an affiliate of one of the Initial Purchasers and certain other financial institutions (the “Option Counterparties”). The Capped Call Transactions initially cover, subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the Notes, the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock that initially underlie the Notes, and are expected generally to reduce potential dilution to the Company’s Common Stock upon any conversion of Notes and/or offset any potential cash payments the Company is required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted Notes, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap. The cap price of the Capped Call Transactions will initially be approximately $29.49 per share (subject to adjustment under the terms of the Capped Call Transactions), which represents a premium of approximately 75.0% over the last reported sale price of $16.85 per share of the Company’s Common Stock on May 4, 2026. The cost of the Capped Call Transactions was approximately $36.8 million.

 

 

 

 

The Capped Call Transactions are separate transactions, each entered into between the Company and the applicable Option Counterparty, and are not part of the terms of the Notes and will not change any holder’s rights under the Notes or the Indenture. Holders of the Notes will not have any rights with respect to the Capped Call Transactions.

 

The above description of the Capped Call Transactions is a summary and is not complete. A copy of the form of confirmation for the Capped Call Transactions is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and the above summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the terms of the form of confirmation set forth in such exhibit.

 

Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

 

On May 4, 2026, the Company entered into a fourth amendment (the “Amendment”) to its amended and restated credit agreement (the “ABL Credit Facility”).  The Amendment extends the stated maturity date of the revolving credit commitments to May 4, 2031, subject to a springing maturity date ninety-one (91) days before the maturity date of certain long-term indebtedness (if applicable).  The Amendment increases the aggregate revolving credit commitments (and the maximum revolver amount) to $350 million, with an uncommitted accordion in an aggregate amount not to exceed the greater of (a) $150 million and (b) the amount, if any, by which the borrowing base exceeds the commitments outstanding under the ABL Credit Facility, subject to usual and customary terms and conditions.

 

The Amendment adds certain power generation equipment as a new component of the borrowing base under the ABL Credit Facility.  Subject to additional limitations set forth in the ABL Credit Facility, the portion of the borrowing base attributable to such equipment shall not exceed 35% of the borrowing base in the aggregate.  The advance rates for such equipment are equal to the lesser of (i) 90% of the book value of such equipment and (ii) 80% of the net orderly liquidation value of such equipment.  The Amendment also increases the amount of leverage-ratio-based indebtedness that can be incurred, increases the amount of capital lease and purchase money debt that can be incurred, and includes a new $690 million basket for the incurrence of convertible indebtedness.  The applicable interest rate margins for borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility range from 1.50% to 2.00% per annum for term SOFR borrowings, based on average historic availability under the ABL Credit Facility.  The applicable unused line fee on the unutilized portion of the commitments in respect of the ABL Credit Facility shall accrue at either 0.375% or 0.25% per annum, based on average historic revolver outstandings.

 

The above description of the Amendment is a summary and is not complete. A copy of the Amendment is filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and the above summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the terms of the Amendment set forth in such exhibit.

 

 

 

 

Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

ProPetro Holding Corp. Prices Upsized $600 Million Convertible Senior Notes Offering

 

MIDLAND, Texas, May 4, 2026, (Business Wire) – ProPetro Holding Corp. (NYSE: PUMP) (together with its subsidiaries, “ProPetro” or the “Company”) today announced the pricing of its previously announced private offering of $600 million aggregate principal amount of 0.00% convertible senior notes due 2031 (the “notes”) to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The offering size was increased from the previously announced offering size of $500 million aggregate principal amount of notes. The issuance and sale of the notes are scheduled to settle on May 7, 2026, subject to customary closing conditions. ProPetro also granted the initial purchasers of the notes an option to purchase, for settlement within a period of 13 calendar days from, and including, the date the notes are first issued, up to an additional $90 million aggregate principal amount of notes.

 

ProPetro estimates that the net proceeds from the offering will be approximately $581.3 million (or approximately $668.6 million if the initial purchasers fully exercise their option to purchase additional notes), after deducting the initial purchasers’ discounts and commissions and ProPetro’s estimated offering expenses. ProPetro intends to use approximately $32.0 million of the net proceeds to fund the cost of entering into the capped call transactions described below. ProPetro intends to use the remainder of the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes, including to fund growth capital for additional power generation equipment. If the initial purchasers exercise their option to purchase additional notes, then ProPetro intends to use a portion of the additional net proceeds to fund the cost of entering into additional capped call transactions as described below.

 

The notes will be senior, unsecured obligations of ProPetro. The notes will not bear regular interest, and the principal amount of the notes will not accrete. The notes will mature on November 15, 2031, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted. Before August 15, 2031, noteholders will have the right to convert their notes only upon the occurrence of certain events. From and after August 15, 2031, noteholders may convert their notes at any time at their election until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date. ProPetro will settle conversions of notes by paying or delivering, as applicable, cash, shares of its common stock or a combination of cash and shares of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“common stock”) at ProPetro’s election. The initial conversion rate is 43.1616 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes, which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $23.17 per share of common stock. The initial conversion price represents a premium of approximately 37.5% over the last reported sale price of $16.85 per share of ProPetro’s common stock on May 4, 2026. The conversion rate and conversion price will be subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events.

 

The notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part (subject to certain limitations), for cash at ProPetro’s option at any time, and from time to time, on or after May 15, 2029 and on or before the 45th scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, but only if the last reported sale price per share of ProPetro’s common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price then in effect for a specified period of time and certain other conditions are satisfied. The redemption price will be equal to the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid special interest and additional interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date.

 

If a “fundamental change” (as defined in the indenture for the notes) occurs, then, subject to a limited exception, noteholders may require ProPetro to repurchase their notes for cash. The repurchase price will be equal to the principal amount of the notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid special interest and additional interest, if any, to, but excluding, the applicable repurchase date.

 

 

 

In connection with the pricing of the notes, ProPetro entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions with one or more of the initial purchasers or their affiliates and/or one or more other financial institutions (the “option counterparties”). The capped call transactions will cover, subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the notes, the number of shares of ProPetro’s common stock initially underlying the notes. If the initial purchasers exercise their option to purchase additional notes, then ProPetro expects to enter into additional capped call transactions with the option counterparties.

 

The cap price of the capped call transactions will initially be approximately $29.49 per share, which represents a premium of approximately 75.0% over the last reported sale price of ProPetro’s common stock of $16.85 per share on May 4, 2026, and is subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the capped call transactions.

 

The capped call transactions are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution to ProPetro’s common stock upon any conversion of the notes and/or offset any potential cash payments ProPetro is required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted notes, as the case may be, in the event that the market price per share of ProPetro’s common stock, as measured under the terms of the capped call transactions, is greater than the strike price of the capped call transactions, which initially corresponds to the conversion price of the notes and is subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the notes. If, however, the market price per share of ProPetro’s common stock, as measured under the terms of the capped call transactions, exceeds the cap price of the capped call transactions, there would nevertheless be dilution and/or there would not be an offset of such potential cash payments, in each case, to the extent that such market price exceeds the cap price of the capped call transactions.

 

In connection with establishing their initial hedges of the capped call transactions, the option counterparties or their respective affiliates expect to enter into various derivative transactions with respect to ProPetro’s common stock and/or purchase shares of ProPetro’s common stock concurrently with or shortly after the pricing of the notes. This activity could increase (or reduce the size of any decrease in) the market price of ProPetro’s common stock or the notes at that time.

 

In addition, the option counterparties or their respective affiliates may modify their hedge positions by entering into or unwinding various derivatives with respect to ProPetro’s common stock and/or purchasing or selling ProPetro’s common stock or other securities of ProPetro in secondary market transactions following the pricing of the notes and from time to time prior to the maturity of the notes (and (x) are likely to do so during any observation period related to a conversion of notes or following any repurchase of the notes by ProPetro in connection with any fundamental change or following any redemption of the notes and (y) are likely to do so following any other repurchase of notes by ProPetro, if ProPetro elects to unwind a corresponding portion of the capped call transactions in connection with such repurchase). This activity could also cause or avoid an increase or decrease in the market price of ProPetro’s common stock or the notes, which could affect a noteholder’s ability to convert its notes, and, to the extent the activity occurs during any observation period related to a conversion of notes, it could affect the amount and value of the consideration that noteholders will receive upon conversion of the notes.

 

 

 

The offer and sale of the notes and any shares of ProPetro’s common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act or any other securities laws, and the notes and any such shares cannot be offered or sold except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any other applicable securities laws. This communication does not constitute an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy, the securities described herein, nor will there be any sale of these securities, in any state or other jurisdiction in which such offer, sale or solicitation would be unlawful.

FAQ

What type of financing did ProPetro (PUMP) complete in this 8-K?

ProPetro completed a private offering of 0.00% convertible senior notes due 2031 with $690 million aggregate principal amount. The notes are senior unsecured obligations, initially sold to qualified institutional buyers and potentially convertible into ProPetro common stock or cash at the company’s election.

What are the key terms of ProPetro’s new 0.00% convertible senior notes?

The notes carry a 0.00% cash coupon, mature on November 15, 2031, and are initially convertible at 43.1616 shares per $1,000, implying a $23.17 conversion price. This represents about a 37.5% premium to the $16.85 stock price on May 4, 2026.

How much dilution could ProPetro’s new convertible notes create for PUMP shareholders?

Initially, a maximum of 40,949,499 shares of common stock may be issued upon conversion, based on a maximum conversion rate of 59.3471 shares per $1,000. Actual dilution depends on future stock prices, conversion decisions, and how ProPetro chooses to settle conversions in cash or stock.

What are the main features of ProPetro’s capped call transactions?

ProPetro entered capped call transactions covering the shares underlying the notes, with an initial cap price of about $29.49 per share, a 75.0% premium to $16.85. Costing roughly $36.8 million, they are expected to reduce dilution or offset cash payments above principal upon conversion, up to the cap.

How did ProPetro change its ABL credit facility in this filing?

ProPetro amended its ABL credit facility to extend the revolver maturity to May 4, 2031, increase aggregate revolving commitments to $350 million, and add power generation equipment to the borrowing base. Advance rates on that equipment are tied to book value and net orderly liquidation value limits.

How will ProPetro use the net proceeds from the convertible notes offering?

ProPetro estimates net proceeds of about $581.3 million (or $668.6 million if the option is fully exercised). It plans to use roughly $32.0 million to fund capped call costs and the remainder for general corporate purposes, including growth capital for additional power generation equipment.
