The hated energy retailer Spark Energy (SPKE) has made a tender offer for their 8.75% Fixed-to-Floating rate preferred (SPKEP).
The tender is at $18/share for up to 1 million shares out of a total outstanding of 3.6 million shares.
Given that the shares are now trading at $19/share I would be surprised to see many takers of the tender, but obviously the tender is meant to convey confidence by management in the company.
The company press release is here.
I would not be surprised to see more tenders like this–in particular by those companies who believe there is inflation in the future with accompanying higher interest rates.
