Oklahoma City-based Chesapeake Energy announced Wednesday the offering of $750,000,000 in notes due in the coming years.

The private placement to eligible buyers focuses on additional 8% senior notes due 2025 and 8% senior notes due 2027. The company stated that the new 2025 notes will be on top of the $1 billion in 8% senior notes issued in December 2016.

It will also use any remaining net proceeds for general corporate purposes including the repayment of outstanding indebtedness under its credit facility.
