Today’s offering is expected to yield net proceeds of $168.4 million and if the company raises the offering, net proceeds are expected to reach $241 million.
The company will use some of the proceeds from the sale of preferred shares to pay for today’s announced acquisition.

Sanchez may not redeem the preferred shares, but has the option to convert them to common stock under certain conditions on or after April 6, 2018.
In announcing its acquisition of the Eagle Ford assets, Sanchez said it had obtained financing commitments of $325 million. The acquisition is expected to close in the second quarter of this year.
