Zacks Investment Research | Jun 13, 2019 07:41AM ET
Chart Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ:GTLS) announced that yesterday it priced public offerings of 3.5 million common shares. This move along with other financing actions will help the company to fund the acquisition of the Industrial Air-X-Changers business of Harsco Corporation (NYSE:HSC) .
It is worth mentioning here that Chart Industries’ shares inched up 0.5% yesterday, ending the trading session at $74.94.
Inside the Headline
As noted, the company will issue the aforementioned number of its common shares for $73.50 per share to the public in an underwritten registered offering. To add, the underwriters will have the exclusive rights, valid for 30 days, to buy additional 525,000 common shares of Chart Industries.
The company will close the public offering on Jun 14, 2019. It anticipates raising roughly $248.8 million (net of commissions and discounts to underwriters as well as offering-related expenses) from the share issuance. This amount might escalate to $286.3 million if underwriters exercise their exclusive purchasing rights.
The company will use net proceeds from the share offering for funding buyout deal signed with Harsco for deleveraging and paying certain fees and expenses.

The deal value was set at $592 million in cash. The buyout is anticipated to generate cost synergies of roughly $20 million in the initial year of the completion.
