The transaction detail as per the 20/1 RNS
So how has it gone so tits up considering everything in place ? Also if I read this correctly 21.2m new shares for a value of $345m at signing. So in my simple mind , if that is the agreed value , that is $16.274 per share. That is a 17% drop versus today’s current price. So are Maverick going to accept that on signing ? Or will even new more shares have to be issued or am I missing something. All thoughts would be appreciated . Also is anybody going to the General Meeting on 10/03. I am going to be there to confront these clowns
The gross Acquisition value of $1,275 million (inclusive of debt assumption) represents an approximate 3.3 times LTM EBITDA(g) multiple. Consideration is expected to be satisfied through the assumption of approximately $700 million of Maverick debt outstanding associated with its RBL, an ABS amortizing note and other outstanding credit, the issuance of approximately 21.2 million new U.S. dollar-denominated Diversified Ordinary Shares to the unitholders of Maverick valued at approximately $345 million at signing, and approximately $207 million in cash, with the mix of Ordinary Shares and cash subject to adjustment based on the outstanding amount of Maverick's RBL at Completion.
The combined company will have an enterprise value of approximately $3.8 billion as of signing. Upon completion, EIG will own approximately 20% of the outstanding Ordinary Shares, inclusive of the Ordinary Shares currently owned from previous transactions. The Ordinary Shares will be subject to a customary lock-up agreement.
The Company has received commitments for $900 million on a new upsized $1.5 billion, four-year credit facility which incorporates both the existing Diversified RBL and the new RBL assets from Maverick as collateral. The amended and restated credit facility provides necessary liquidity for the cash consideration of the acquisition and to refinance Maverick's RBL. Additionally, the Company intends to undertake potential refinancings related to other credit products outside of the Company's credit facility.
