Reliant Prepays Debt, Eyes Acquisitions


Tara Murphy, 12.29.03, 5:07 PM ET

NEW YORK - Topping the news this hour, Reliant Resources says it has prepaid $917 million in debt as it strengthens its finances to acquire power plants.

Reliant (nyse: RRI - news - people ) says it used funds from an escrow account for the debt prepayment, which will help it in buying CenterPoint Energy's (nyse: CNP - news - people ) interest in electricity generator Texas Genco (nyse: TGN - news - people ). With the amendment to its bank credit facilities, Reliant, which also canceled an unused $300 million credit facility, says it now has up to $1 billion to put to work on acquisition targets.


Nice.. (ahem, the stock news too....)


I still have a fair sized position. Playing it a few months ago was bad and I sold some in a bit of a panic. Not happy with that but still think the company and the stock have legs..
