DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr. 7, 2015-- Kosmos Energy Ltd. (“Kosmos”) (NYSE: KOS) announced today the pricing of its previously announced private offering to eligible purchasers of an additional $225 million aggregate principal amount of 7.875% senior secured notes due 2021 as a non-fungible add-on to the existing $300 million aggregate principal amount of such notes currently outstanding (the “existing notes”).

The net proceeds from the offering, after deducting discounts, commissions and other expenses, are expected to be approximately $203 million.

Kosmos intends to use the net proceeds from this offering to repay a portion of the outstanding indebtedness under its commercial debt facility and for general corporate purposes.

The securities to be offered have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any state securities laws and unless so registered, the securities may not be offered or sold in the United States without registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities or blue sky laws and foreign securities laws.

This press release is being issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, Rule 135c under the Securities Act, and is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy the notes or any other securities and shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy, or a sale of, the notes or any other securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale is unlawful.
