21 Sept 2012business combination● Neutral
Continental filed a registration statement offering to swap up to $1.2 billion of the unregistered 5% notes due 2022 (issued August 16, 2012) for identical registered notes, guaranteed by Banner Pipeline. This carries out the exchange promised in the August registration rights agreement; the terms are the same and no new money is raised. The filing also says an earlier exchange offer for the original $800 million of 2022 notes expired August 14, 2012, which closes that open thread, though one unregistered CUSIP from those notes remains outstanding.

17 Aug 2012capital raising announcement● NeutralMajor
The Wheatland acquisition closed on August 13, 2012: Continental received Wheatland's oil and gas properties in Mississippi, Montana, North Dakota and Oklahoma in exchange for 3,916,157 new shares, valued at $313,292,574 at closing. The shares went to Hamm's trust and Hume (75%/25%), who also received registration rights (demand and piggyback, $40 million minimum). This resolves the Wheatland thread; the filing does not state the vote result, and the closing value is below the $340 million unadjusted price.
16 Aug 2012debt financing● NeutralMajor
Continental closed the $1.2 billion add-on of 5.0% notes due 2022 on August 16, 2012, now totalling $2.0 billion with the March notes, guaranteed by Banner Pipeline. It agreed to a registration rights agreement to exchange them for registered notes, aiming to complete within 400 days of issue, with extra interest owed if it misses deadlines. This completes the August pricing and starts a new exchange-offer obligation for the added notes; the filing repeats the plan to repay revolver borrowings.

Proceeds are intended to repay revolver borrowings and for general corporate purposes. This adds to the $800 million of 2022 notes sold in March 2012.

1 Aug 2012material agreement▲ GoodMajor
On July 26, 2012 Continental amended its 2010 bank credit agreement (Union Bank agent), raising commitments from $1.25 billion to $1.5 billion and the borrowing base from $2.25 billion to $2.75 billion. It also loosened terms: the debt-to-EBITDAX limit rose from 3.75 to 4, and the share of reserves pledged as security fell from 85% to 80% (unless a collateral coverage ratio of at least 1.75 is met). This updates the revolver described earlier; the filing's stated prior figures differ from the figures in the earlier context.

The price is $340 million unadjusted, paid in stock; the fee table uses 3,900,424 shares. This continues the Wheatland thread: the vote moved to a special meeting dated after the June 14 annual meeting, which the earlier filings had pointed to as the vote date.
