(RTTNews) - Memorial Resource Development Corp. (MRD) announced that it has priced an underwritten public offering of 12 million shares of its common stock at a price to the public of $17.60 per share.

The offering was upsized to 12 million shares of common stock from the original offering size of 10.25 million shares of common stock. MRD has granted the underwriter an option to purchase up to 1.80 million additional shares of common stock.
