NRG Energy intends to commence an offering of $700 million in aggregate principal amount of senior notes, due 2022.
The notes will be senior unsecured obligations of NRG and will be guaranteed by certain of its subsidiaries.
NRG intends to use the proceeds to partially fund the consummation of the Edison Mission Energy (EME) acquisition. If the EME acquisition is not consummated, NRG intends to use the proceeds to repay indebtedness and related fees and expenses.
Any remaining amounts will be used for general corporate purposes. The offering is not contingent on the concurrent closing of the EME acquisition.
The notes and related guarantees are being offered only to qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended or, outside the U.S., to persons other than U.S. persons in compliance with regulation S under the Securities Act.
The notes and related guarantees have not been registered under the securities act or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements.
This notice is issued pursuant to Rule 135c of the securities act, and does not constitute an offer to sell the notes, nor a solicitation for an offer to purchase the notes.
