Kodiak Gas Services, Inc. (NYSE: KGS) (“Kodiak” or the “Company”) today announced the commencement of an underwritten public offering (the “Offering”) of 6,140,182 shares of its common stock by an affiliate of the funds known as EQT Infrastructure III and EQT Infrastructure IV (the “selling stockholder”). The selling stockholder intends to grant the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 921,027 shares of the Company’s common stock. Kodiak will not sell any shares of its common stock in the Offering and will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares of its common stock being offered by the selling stockholder. The Offering is subject to market and other conditions, and there can be no assurance as to whether or when the Offering may be completed.
In addition, the Company intends to purchase from the selling stockholder in a private transaction $25 million of common stock at a price per share equal to the public offering price (the “Share Repurchase”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the number of shares of common stock to be offered in the Offering will be equal to 8,000,000 shares less the number of shares the Company would repurchase based on the public offering price. The Offering is not conditioned upon the closing of the Share Repurchase, but the Share Repurchase is conditioned upon the closing of the Offering.
Barclays, Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and J.P. Morgan are acting as joint book-running managers for the Offering. The Offering will be made only by means of a prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus, which was filed as part of an automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-280737), which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and became effective on July 10, 2024. Before you invest, you should read the prospectus in that registration statement and other documents the Company has filed with the SEC for more complete information about the Company and the Offering.
