COMMON STOCK AND CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION
Equity Offering
On April 21, 2015, the Company issued 10,925,000 shares of its common stock in an underwritten public offering (which included 1,425,000 shares sold pursuant to an option to purchase additional shares of the Company's common stock granted by the Company to, and exercised in full by, the underwriters). The net proceeds from this equity offering (including the net proceeds from the sale of the shares of common stock to the underwriters pursuant to their option to purchase additional shares) were approximately $501.9 million after underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses. The Company used a portion of these net proceeds, together with a portion of the net proceeds from its concurrent senior notes offering (see Note 5, "Long Term Debt"), to repay all amounts outstanding at that time under its revolving credit facility and to fund the acquisition of Paloma (see Note 1) and intends to use the remaining net proceeds from these offerings for general corporate purposes, including the funding of a portion of its 2015 capital development plans.
