On Aug 18, 2020 Antero agreed to sell $250 million of 4.25% convertible senior notes due Sept 1, 2026, closed Aug 21, 2020, with the initial purchasers holding an option for up to $50 million more. The notes can be converted into shares at about $4.34 per share (230.2026 shares per $1,000), settled in cash, shares or both at Antero's election; the filing gives a maximum of 69,060,750 shares issuable (82,872,900 if the option is fully used), so conversion could dilute shareholders. The filing does not state how the proceeds will be used.

The Antero Midstream/AMGP combination closed: AMGP converted into Antero Midstream Corporation, and Antero Resources exchanged its 98.9 million Antero Midstream units for cash plus 158.4 million shares of the new company, cutting its stake from a controlling 53% (which it had consolidated into its own financials) to a 31% equity-method stake going forward.

Antero Resources amended its credit agreement to permit the pending Antero Midstream/AMGP combination to proceed and to give itself more flexibility on investments and credit extensions.

What it means for a shareholder
6.7m new shares at US$26.00 to raise about US$175m. That's 2.1% dilution: every existing holder's slice gets 2.1% smaller. If you held US$1,000 of shares (38 at the issue price), your slice goes from 0.0000125% to 0.0000123% of the company. To keep it you'd need 1 more shares - about US$26 at the issue price.
