“The notes are expected to constitute a further issuance of and be consolidated and form a single series with the company’s previously issued 7.375% senior notes due 2019 in the aggregate principal amount of $250m,” it added.

GLDD indicated that proceeds from the fundraiser will likely be used to repay debt tied to a revolving credit facility that helped fund the recent acquisition of Magnus Pacific Corporation, which specialises in levee rehabilitation, ground stabilisation and mine reclamation.
