V&E’s global leadership in the energy industry gives us particular experience and ability to handle high-yield offerings for energy industry participants, including upstream oil and gas companies, midstream companies, and oilfield service companies. Beyond the energy industry, we also work on high-yield offerings in a wide range of other industries.

With active involvement of our debt partners, we handle the negotiation and structuring of the security terms, covenants, and documentation, as well as preparation of the offering disclosure documents and related agreements. Our experience includes a full range of high-yield products and offering structures, including first- and second-lien secured notes, senior unsecured notes, subordinated notes, PIK toggle notes, and high-yield unit offerings, and includes offerings by foreign and domestic issuers, both public and private, in U.S. dollars and other currencies. Beyond the initial offering, our High-Yield Offerings team provides assistance with ongoing covenant compliance and analysis in the context of material acquisitions, dispositions, investments, and other significant transactions. Additionally, V&E has extensive experience in liability management matters, including exchange offers, tender offers, redemptions, and consent solicitations.
