California Resources Corporation completed an upsized private offering of $350 million in additional 7.000% senior unsecured notes due January 15, 2034, on March 23, 2026. The company plans to use the proceeds, with cash on hand and or revolver borrowings, to redeem $350 million of its 8.250% senior notes due 2029 at 100% of principal plus the applicable premium, with that redemption expected to close March 24, 2026. The filing is a refinancing of existing debt that adds new debt of the same size as the notes it retires.
