The deal was funded with borrowings from an amended and restated senior credit facility arranged by J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. and Bank of America Securities LLC. and with proceeds from a $250-million private placement of 8.3 million Concho shares. The company has approximately $300 million available under its senior credit facility following the transaction.
