Firm Represents Underwriters in Common Stock Offering by Forest Oil

06.01.09

The Firm represented Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC as underwriters in connection with a registered public offering by Forest Oil Corporation of 14,375,000 shares of common stock, including shares issued upon exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option.  Forest Oil used the net proceeds from the offering, approximately $256 million, to reduce borrowings under its bank credit facilities.

The Firm represented the initial purchasers in a $600 million high yield bond offering for Forest Oil earlier this year, and has been involved in financing transactions for the Company in prior years as well.

The Simpson Thacher team for the transaction included: Walt Looney, Grenfel Calheiros, Philip Russ and Jose Grajales (Corporate), Andrew Pagliughi (FINRA and Blue Sky) and Jonathan Talansky (Tax).
