Consol Energy Inc. is buying the rest of CNX Gas Corp. that it doesn't already own for approximately $363.4 million.
The coal and natural gas company said late Sunday that it would pay $38.25 per share for the remaining 9.5 million CNX shares, roughly a 37 percent stake.
The offered price is a 24 percent premium to CNX Gas' Friday closing stock price of $30.80.
Consol Energy said it plans to finance the deal with internal funds, borrowings under its credit agreements and securities offerings.
