HOUSTON, October 3, 2012 – Swift Energy Company (NYSE: SFY) announced today that it has priced its sale of an additional $150 million in aggregate principal amount of its 7 7/8% senior unsecured notes due 2022 in a private offering to eligible purchasers. These additional senior notes were priced at 105.00% of par, for a yield to worst of 6.993%.
