Sunoma going public to shed debt, raise capital

Article Abstract:

Sunoma Energy Corp plans to go public to unload some of the debt it took on with its C$222 million hostile takeover of Barrington Petroleum Ltd in fall 1998. Sunoma has around C$420 million of debt, half of which is Barrington's. In addition to an initial public offering, the company also plans to refinance its debt, mostly existing long-term obligations. The debt refinancing plan calls for the issuance of costly, high-yield notes.
