Vantage Drilling, Avation add-on price; LifePoint lags; energy names in focus

By Paul A. Harris and Abigail W. Adams

Portland, Me., Nov. 15 – While volatility continued to roil markets with the energy sector under pressure, one oil and gas name saw a blue-ribbon execution on Thursday.

Vantage Drilling International brought a deal that came upsized, on an accelerated timeline, and priced at the tight end of price talk.

The offshore drilling contractor priced an upsized $350 million issue of five-year senior secured first-lien notes (Caa1/B) at par to yield 9¼%.

Avation plc priced a $50 million add-on to its 6½% senior notes due May 15, 2021 (B+/BB-) at 99.75 to yield 6.61% in a Thursday drive-by.

While the domestic primary market’s forward calendar remains light, Atlantica Yield is expected to price its $300 million offering of eight-year senior notes (BB/BB+) on Friday.

In the European market, Groupe Ecore Holding SAS (Luxembourg) priced its €255 million offering of five-year senior secured floating-rate notes (B/BB-).

Co-operative Group Ltd. wrapped up a roadshow for its £250 million offering of five-year fixed-rate green-eligible notes with pricing expected on Friday.

The energy sector remained the focus of secondary trading with California Resources Corp.’s 8% senior secured second-lien notes due December 2022 again among the most actively traded issues in the space.
