Energy Transfer announced the pricing of a $3.8 billion offering in senior and junior notes previously announced on Nov. 11, saying the company plans to use the proceeds to refinance company debts, redeem all series C, D and E fixed-to-floating cumulative redeemable perpetual preferred units and for general partnership purposes.
The company is offering $3 billion in senior notes and $800 million in junior notes. The sale of the senior notes is expected to settle Jan. 25.
The company is offering a $1.25 billion principle amount of 5.55% senior notes due in 2034, which is available to the public at a price of 99.66% of their face value. Energy Transfer is also offering a $1.75 billion principle amount of 5.95% senior notes due in 2054, which is available at 99.523% of their face value.
The $800 million principle amount of the 8% fixed-to-fixed reset rate junior subordinated notes are due in 2054 are available for 100% of their face value.

The series E units price will be determined at a later date, as the units are not redeemable until May 15, the company said.
