Deal Description: On March 20, 2018, Helix Energy Solutions Group, Inc. (NYSE: HLX) closed its previously announced offering of $125 million aggregate principal amount of 4.125% convertible senior notes due 2023.

The 2023 notes will bear interest at a rate of 4.125% per annum, payable semi-annually on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning September 15, 2018.

The offer to repurchase the 2032 notes settled concurrently with closing of the 2023 notes offering.
