What is the main change announced by Occidental Petroleum regarding its warrants?

Occidental Petroleum has announced a temporary reduction in the exercise price for its publicly traded warrants. The exercise price has been lowered from $22.00 to $21.30 per share, but only if exercised under the terms of the specific "Offer to Exercise" that commenced on March 3, 2025.

When does the offer to exercise warrants at the reduced price expire?

The "Offer to Exercise Warrants to Purchase Common Stock" is scheduled to expire on March 31, 2025, at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time. However, Occidental Petroleum has the sole discretion to extend this expiration date.

Will the exercise price of the warrants permanently change?

No, the reduction to $21.30 is temporary and specifically tied to the "Offer to Exercise" which ends on March 31, 2025 (or a later extended date). After the offer period, the exercise price will revert to the original $22.00 as stated in the Warrant Agreement, unless further amendments are made.

What is the purpose of the prospectus supplement filed by OXY?

The prospectus supplement was filed to register the shares of Occidental Petroleum's common stock that will be issued to warrant holders who exercise their warrants, particularly those exercising under the offer at the reduced price. This is a standard regulatory step when new shares are being made available through warrant or option exercises.
