SemGroup Investors Nod to Energy Transfer's Acquisition Bid
Read MoreHide Full Article
SemGroup Corporation recently announced that its shareholders voted in favour of the $5.1-billion merger contract wherein it will be acquired by the pipeline giant Energy Transfer (ET - Free Report) .
The deal, which includes the assumption of debt and liabilities, comprises $6.80 in cash and 0.7275 units of Energy Transfer for each outstanding share of SemGroup, which also implies 40% cash and 60% equity.
The buyout agreement is expected to unlock significant value for the combined entity’s shareholders, generating anticipated annual run-rate synergies of approximately $170 million consisting of $80 million of commercial and operational synergies, $50 million of financial savings and $40 million of Expense savings.
For the oil and natural gas midstream player in particular, this transaction is a win-win proposition for its stockholders in which they receive a substantial premium and get an opportunity to participate in one of the biggest midstream operations in the country with access to all major U.S. production basins.
The merger, if successful, will boost Energy Transfer’s crude oil shipping and export prospects with the inclusion of the Houston Fuel Oil Terminal possessing 18.2 million barrels of crude oil storage capacity. The takeover also looks promising to drive this Dallas, TX-based partnership’s energy infrastructure system by adding SemGroup’s crude gathering facilities to Colorado’s DJ Basin and Oklahoma’s Anadarko Basin. Moreover, this integration will consolidate the oil and NGL pipelines between DJ and Anadarko Basins with the crude oil terminals in Cushing, OK.
Notably, the transaction is supposed to be completed today, subject to customary conditions. Upon closure, SemGroup’s stakeholders will be entitled to hold 2.2% of Energy Transfer’s outstanding common units.
It could become the mother of all technological revolutions. Apple sold a mere 1 billion iPhones in 10 years but a new breakthrough is expected to generate more than 27 billion devices in just 3 years, creating a $1.7 trillion market.
Zacks has just released a Special Report that spotlights this fast-emerging phenomenon and 6 tickers for taking advantage of it. If you don't buy now, you may kick yourself in 2020.
