AUSTIN, Texas, Aug. 15, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Parsley Energy, LLC ("Parsley"), a subsidiary of Parsley Energy, Inc.

On May 27, 2016, Parsley and Parsley Finance Corp. completed an offering of $200.0 million of their 6.250% senior notes due 2024 (the "Initial 2024 Notes" and, together with the New 2024 Notes, the "2024 Notes"). The New 2024 Notes will have identical terms, other than the issue date, as the Initial 2024 Notes, and the New 2024 Notes and the Initial 2024 Notes will be treated as a single class of securities under the indenture governing the 2024 Notes.
Concurrently with the Notes Offering, Parsley Inc. is offering 7,000,000 shares of its Class A common stock (or 8,050,000 shares if the option to purchase additional shares is exercised in full) in an underwritten public offering (the "Concurrent Equity Offering"). The shares of Class A common stock are being offered in the Concurrent Equity Offering by means of a separate prospectus supplement. The Notes Offering is not conditioned on the consummation of the Concurrent Equity Offering, and the Concurrent Equity Offering is not conditioned on the Notes Offering.
Together with the net proceeds from the Concurrent Equity Offering, Parsley intends to use the net proceeds from the Notes Offering to fund the aggregate purchase price for the acquisition of oil and gas interests in Glasscock County, Texas (the "Acquisition"), and any remaining net proceeds will be used to fund a portion of Parsley's capital program and for general corporate purposes, including potential future acquisitions. The Notes Offering is not conditioned on the consummation of the Acquisition.

Parsley plans to offer and sell the securities only to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act and to non-U.S. persons in transactions outside the United States pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act.
This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the securities described herein, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.
