J.P. Morgan will act as the sole underwriter and book-running manager.
Goodrich intends to use the net proceeds from this offering to repay borrowings under its credit facility and for general corporate purposes.
The 52-week trading range for Goodrich is absolutely abysmal, as the stock had a high of $30.52 just last summer and a low of $2.35 in February. Since then shares have taken a slight bounce, but it pales in comparison to the carnage that falling oil has exacted on this stock.
In a sense, Goodrich is on the front line, considering how it has been affected by oil prices relative to other public oil and gas companies. The company earlier this year had said it would cut its planned capital spending by 50%. That it still needs to issue a secondary offering is symptomatic of how smaller oil companies will have deal with the low prices and lower production.
