NEW YORK, June 10, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Warren Resources, Inc. (Nasdaq:WRES) announced today that due to current market conditions, the company has decided to postpone its planned private placement offering of $200 million in senior notes, which it had previously announced on May 30, 2013.
"The conditions in the debt capital markets have led us to conclude that we should delay our offering of senior notes," said Philip A. Epstein, Warren's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "The senior notes present a good opportunity to enhance our already strong balance sheet. We have the flexibility, however, to be opportunistic about timing while both pursuing our growth strategy and maintaining our disciplined approach to raising capital."
