Goodrich Petroleum Corp. shares were up 6.5% to $22.90 in afternoon trading, near the $23 a share level the company agreed to be acquired for by a subsidiary of Paloma Partners VI Holdings LLC.
古德里奇石油公司(Goodrich Petroleum Corp.)股價在下午的交易中上漲6.5%，至22.90美元，接近該公司同意被Paloma Partners VI Holdings LLC的一家子公司收購的每股23美元的水平。
Independent exploration and production company Goodrich Petroleum said the deal for about $480 million includes the assumption of the company's first lien debt.
獨立勘探和生產公司Goodrich Petroleum表示，這筆約4.8億美元的交易包括承擔該公司的第一筆留置權債務。
The deal's offer price represents a 7% premium to Goodrich's Friday closing price of $21.50 a share and a 47% premium to its year-to-date volume-weighted average price, the company said.
該公司稱，這筆交易的出價較Goodrich上週五收盤價每股21.5美元溢價7%，較其今年迄今成交量加權平均價溢價47%。
Goodrich Petroleum says it focuses on the Haynesville Shale in North Louisiana and East Texas, the Tuscaloosa Marine Shale in Eastern Louisiana and Southwestern Mississippi and the Eagle Ford Shale trend in South Texas.
Goodrich Petroleum表示，該公司專注於路易斯安那州北部和德克薩斯州東部的海恩斯維爾頁巖，路易斯安那州東部和密西西比州西南部的塔斯卡盧薩海洋頁巖，以及德克薩斯州南部的鷹福特頁巖趨勢(Eagle Ford Shale Trend)。
Truist Securities said in an analyst note that while the takeout price represents a relatively modest premium, shares were up more than double year to date.
Truist Securities在一份分析師報告中表示，雖然外賣價格代表着相對温和的溢價，但今年到目前為止，股價上漲了一倍多。
"However, shares of GDP and most other natural gas operators still trade at a discount to their historical multiples," Truist said.
“然而，GDP和大多數其他天然氣運營商的股價仍低於其歷史倍數，”Truist表示。
"While natural gas prices have come down from their peak levels, we believe that the transaction represents increased private market optimism surrounding both U.S. natural gas producers and the potential of the Haynesville shale to serve growing U.S. LNG export capacity," the Truist analyst note said.
“雖然天然氣價格已從峯值水平回落，但我們認為，這筆交易代表着私人市場對美國天然氣生產商以及海恩斯維爾頁巖為不斷增長的美國液化天然氣出口能力提供服務的潛力的樂觀情緒增強，”這位不言而喻的分析師表示。
