By Ben Glickman
Shares of Equinox Gold sank after the company said it would sell $150 million of 4.75% convertible senior notes.
The stock was down 18% to $4.30 in after-hours trading, after rising 2.1% at Monday's close. Shares are up 60% this year.
The Vancouver, B.C.-based company said BMO Capital Markets would be purchasing the notes, which are due in 2028. The purchasers have an option to buy an additional $22.5 million aggregate principal amount of notes.

The offering is expected to close Sept. 21.
